Summer Birthday

I got this cute (NBUS) purse die from My Creative Time. I used a water colored panel for the body of the purse. The Sunflower was die cut using Honey Bee Stamps Lovely Layers Sunflower. I used Copics to shade the colored card stock and added some Wink of Stella to the petals and center. The Happy Birthday charm was in my stash. It’s hard to see that the white panel was dry embossed with an embossing folder.

Retirement-you did it!

My brother-in-law is retiring soon. Masculine cards are hard for me to make, but I love using this Fishing Boat stamp from Divinity Designs for masculine cards. I used Polychromos pencils to color it. The chipboard anchor is from Um Wow Studio. I inked it up with some distress inks and added a bit of Glossy Accents. The circles were die cut with MFT Pierced Circles. The smaller blue band was die cut with Pretty Pink Posh Stitched Borders. The sentiment tag was die cut with a My Creative Time die. The sentiment is also from My Creative Time. The brown panel was dry embossed using a small Buffalo Check embossing folder from Park Lane (JoAnns store brand).

Rock Out

Here’s the card I made for my grandson’s birthday. The alcohol ink background is from my stash of backgrounds that I made previously. I thought it went well with the Rock Out stamps from Visible Image. I stamped over the background with Ranger Jet Black Archival Ink. The die cut is from MFT Stamps.

Here’s another card for the card drive Here

The Quilt Square Cover-up die is from MFT Stamps.

The globe is a digital file from Etsy shop Whatley’s Wonders SVGs. I printed it, cut it out and colored it with Copic markers.

The sentiment translates to You are a hero to Ukraine and the world.
