Chevron Grad

 

I found this cute graduation card on Pinterest from the ButtonSandBling blog website. Such a cute design that I wanted to copy a bit of it, but make a few changes to make it my own!

I designed the card within my digital software... My Memories Suite.

I chose a Pumpkin Pie background color. Then added the chevron Overlay in black. The '2022' is just a text in Boulder font that I rotated 90 degrees.

Thanks for taking a closer look!

Getting into the season of making many masculine cards for my family members. The new 'Nature's Prints' stamp set with it's botanical plant stamps are perfect fit for a masculine card.

Seaside Sailing

 I noticed Kris McIntosh's card on Pinterest and liked it, so wanted to create a card of my own. I changed up a few things to make mine a bit different from hers.

For the background, I used the Seaside embossing folder.

I added a 'Wink of Stella' to the sails to make them shine.

Calming Flowers

 

I wanted to create a patriotic floral card for my Aunt, as she loves her country and that she loves flowers.

I chose the 'Jar of Flowers' stamp set and paired it with the sentiment from 'Calming Camellia' stamp set.

I added a 'Wink of Stella' to the flowers to make them shine. Also the flowers are cut out with scissors as there is no coordinating die set.

The sentiment label, is just cut using a square die to make points.

I chose manly colors of Soft Suede, Crumb Cake, Soft Sea Foam, Old Olive and Mossy Meadow instead of the colors they used on their card.

I added 'Wink of Stella' to the white portions of the flower to make it shine.

Layered Feet

 

My Uncle just had foot surgery to remove his toes. When I saw the sloth from the 'Back On Your Feet' stamp set... I knew I could work with it in making him a card. I stamped the image in Memento Ink and placed tape over the "toes" on the sloth. I know I should've taped the back feet instead of the front, but the front was the one who had the bandages. 

I hope the card gives him a bit of a chuckle while he is recovering.
