Thanksgiving 2018

I love this layout of a title on it's side with a sentiment along it's length. Thanks H. Brown for your inspiring design (her's is on the right).

I achieved this same layout using my digital software - My Memories Suite. The leaf branch is from My Memories and it's at 40% opacity, so you can still see the words for the sentiment. The fonts used for the title is Regency and for the sentiment - it's Bradley Hand ITC. I printed it out on Very Vanilla cardstock and finished the card the traditional way.

Thanks for taking a closer look AND Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours!

Embellishment - MM9 Holidays (MyMem) - Leaf Branch (40% opacity)

Peekaboo Kitty

One of my many nieces will be turning 15. She loves kitties and loves the color blue, so I incorporated that into this card here.

I colored the stamped image 'Pretty Kitty' with Stampin' Blends. I love how it doesn't show the ink lines when coloring in details.

Veterans' Day 2018

When I saw Lyssa Griffin Zwolanek's card (on the right)... I just knew it would be a perfect Veterans' Day card. I changed mine up a bit to make it my own!  Thanks Lyssa for your inspiration!

I designed this using my digital software program (My Memories Suite). The letters in the word 'Thank You' are the Timeless Type Junior letters (shapes), and I filled them in using the Grunge Flag Background (SCA). The other words are just black text using Bradley Hand ITC font. The stars are just shapes, as well. I printed this out on Whisper White cardstock and then matted it first in Real Red and then on the card base - Night of Navy.

Happy Veterans' Day to all those who are serving and have served this great country - the USA!

Supplies Used:

My Memories Suite

Shapes - Timeless Type Junior letters (filled w/Grunge Flag Background from SCA); Stars (filled w/red and blue)

Font - Bradley Hand ITC (black)

Getting hurt and breaking bones is never fun. I hope my card helps to bring some lightness and well wishes to my second Mom (my best friend's Mom).

I paired the 'Dandelion Wishes' stamp set with the 'Layered Leaves' DTIEF. I also used the Tranquil Textures Designer Series Paper.

Pictured Seasons

 

I found this lovely card (on the right) on Pinterest... it was linked to just a photo and not to a person's website, so I cannot credit who this person is! I loved the idea of a softer background stamped image and a darker focal image. As you can see... I made a few changes to make it my own, but the inspiration was all CASED. Thank you!

I paired the sentiment from the 'Picture Perfect Birthday' stamp set with the 'Colorful Seasons' stamp set. For the lighter stamped images, I used Crumb Cake and So Saffron. For the darker images, I used Daffodil Delight and Early Espresso.

Thanks for taking a peek!

Supplies Used:

Stamp sets - Colorful Seasons, Picture Perfect Birthday

Ink - Early Espresso, Crumb Cake, So Saffron

Paper - Whisper White (thick), Crumb Cake, Early Espresso

'Bubble Over' is such a great stamp set for teens, as well as those that are that are turning 21. You can make it a pop bottle or brew with a different label/color.

I made my card monochromatic blue for my nephew who is turning 17!

Thanks so much for taking a look.

Sympathy of Pet

My sister-in-law and brother-in-law live on a farm (horses and chickens mostly), and are somewhat used to loss of animals. But... they have gone through many losses this year. Two of their beloved dogs were poisoned, her prized horse of 26 years passed away and now -- one of her indoor doggies (Bean) of 16 years -- has passed away too. I'm not sure how she does it.

I saw this cute card (on the right), and felt it was fitting for them... as Bean was a tiny Pomeranian dog.

Thanks for stopping by!
