Brunswick Grad

 


It's that time of year again with the students graduating! I have used the sentiment piece before in a different card, but changed the background of the card to make it more special for the person receiving it. Brunswick High School's colors are blue/white... so tried to make sure that was the color scheme.

The focal piece was all designed within My Memories Suite digital software and then printed on Basic White cardstock.

Thanks for stopping by!

Pizza Birthday

 

My nephew works in my sister's restaurant creating pizzas in the wood-fire oven. He creates his own pizzas as a 'Chef's Choice' option! 
I designed this card within My Memories Suite digital software using free clip art of a pizza from Freepix. I printed it out on Basic White cardstock and finished the card the traditional way.

Thanks for taking a look!

Father's Day 2024

 


I just loved how Debbie Henderson chose to use her 'Trusty Tools' stamp set and coordinating dies along with the 'Trusty Toolbox' Designer Series Paper (DSP). As she had the sentiment from a stamp set that I didn't have... I improvised and used my computer to create the same sentiment in the fonts that I had. Thanks Debbie for your creativity and inspiration! I made my cards into 'Father's Day' cards, so I'm sure the Father's in my life will LOVE them as much as I do!

Now, I know she used the stamp set to create the tools... I kinda cheated and used the DSP (already colored!!!!). YES!!!! The dies cut the shapes out perfectly! Thanks Stampin' Up! for creating a suite that is so versatile! I'm sure I'll be using this set for all the men in my life for their birthdays too!

Thanks for checking in!

Rose Paradise

 


For my Best Friend's Mom... she's like a second Mom to me! I love her dearly!
I chose a new In-Color - Peach Pie and paired it with Granny Apple Green and Crumb Cake.

The sentiment is from the 'Paradise Palms' stamp set.
I added a 'Wink of Stella' to the flowers to make them shine.

Thanks for taking a closer look!

Beautiful Love

 


I tried to utilize the watercolor paper within the 'Dainty Flowers' Designer Series Paper stack. The colors on the pack are: Blushing Bride, Crushed Curry, Fresh Freesia, Mossy Meadow, Old Olive, Rich Razzleberry and Starry Sky. I chose a section that had only Old Olive and Crushed Curry. I had the intent of using the colors within the watercolor paper to color in my flowers with the Stampin' Blends markers. However, Rich Razzleberry and Crushed Curry are NOT an option with the current Stampin' Blends.
I chose to color the flowers with Berry Burst and Daffodil Delight. I also added a Wink of Stella to the petals to make them sparkle.

Thanks for taking a peek!

Mickey Celebration

 

One of the easiest person to create a card for... my sister-in-law who LOVES Disney! I mean LOVES it so much she goes every year (sometimes even twice a year!). This year is a milestone for her, so (of course) I managed to incorporate that little tidbit in the card I made! LOL!

I added a Wink of Stella to the numbers to make them sparkle.

Thanks for taking a closer look!
