Treble Birthday

 

My brother-in-law plays in a band and loves to play his keyboard and sing. I've created several musical cards for his birthday in the past, and this year is no different.

I created this card within My Memories Suite digital software. The background musical notes are from My Memories called 'Music To My Ears' and the treble clef is some free clip art I found online thru FreePNG. The text font is 'Master of Break'.

Thanks for taking a closer look!

Supplies Used:

Embellishments - Music To My Ears (notes - MyMem); Treble Clef (FreePNG)

Font - Master Of Break 

Paper - Soft Succulent, Basic Black, Basic White

Nailed Birthday

 

I really liked the look of Stampin' Country's card, so I created one for myself. My colors are changed from hers though -- I used Misty Moonlight, Blamy Blue and Gray Granite on mine.

Most of the images are from the 'Nailed It' stamp set with the exception of the lined background - that's from the 'Urban District' stamp set; the dotted background - that's from the 'Friends Are Like Seashells' stamp set; and the sentiment - that's from the 'Happy Birthday Gorgeous' stamp set.

Thanks for taking a closer look!

Jar Party

 

I paired the 'Jar of Flowers' stamp set with the 'Punch Party' stamp set for this card. I used my favorite background - Layering Leaves... and for the sentiment, I used the 'Tasteful Labels' dies.

The color combos for the flowers are Misty Moonlight/Balmy Blue and Polished Pink/Petal Pink, for the leaves I used Soft Succulent and Mint Macaron. For the seed pods, I used Gray Granite. For the stems for the flowers, I used Soft Sea Foam and for the jar, I used Pool Party.

Autumn Pumpkins

Veterans' Day 2021

 

I am so thankful for all the men and women who have fought for this great country! We wouldn't have the freedoms that we have now without them. Within our family, 5 people have served in the military. My husband's Dad (Army), my Dad (Airforce), my husband's brother (Navy), my brother (Navy) and my husband's sister's husband (our brother-in-law - Army).  Thanks for all you did!

I created this card within my digital software - My Memories Suite.

I felt that the frame resembled a 'dogtag' and would go well with my theme.

Thanks for checking in!

Happy Veterans' Day to all Veterans!

My nephew, Michael, is turning 18! Wow how time flies! He loves Donald Duck, so I used one of my stickers from my local craft store. It's 3D, so pretty cool in person.

I used the sentiment from 'Picture Perfect Birthday' stamp set. The colors I used are Donald Ducks colors of Pacific Point and Daffodil Delight!

Here's A Home

 

With family members moving, one needs a good stamp set that can be used many different times, but still have unique card designs. With the 'Coming Home' stamp set and it's coordinating 'Home Together' dies you can achieve this! This has got to be my 4th card using this bundle.

Now, I did find a cute card, found on Pinterest, so wanted to create my own. Changing the colors and a bit of the layout... I've made it my own, but wanted to give credit to the person who created this lovely card! Thanks!

Alphabet Home

 

I liked the idea of Cathy's card where you use the home for the 'O' in the word HOME. Thanks for your inspiration. I made the card my own by using different letters and home stamp.

I designed the letters within My Memories Suite digital software. I did measure the spacing to make sure I had enough room for my home die-cut shape. The Stamp Set is 'Coming Home' and it coordinates with the 'Home Together' dies.

I colored in the image using my Stampin' Blends and used a dimensional to make the home 'pop' off the card.

Delicate Year

 

Working with the Sale-A-Bration 'Delicate Dahlias' stamp set, I wanted to create a card only using the smaller flower within that set. Here's what I came up with.

Delicate Perfection

 

As I was perusing the Sale-A-Bration Catalog (August-September 2021), I saw this gem with only using the leaves from the 'Delicate Dahlias' stamp set. I changed a few things up to make the card my own, but the general inspiration was all Stampin' Up!'s. 

The intricate die-cut is so easy to adhere to the card using adhesive sheets. The process is this: Choose your cardstock and cut it down to the size you need. Next, take a piece of the adhesive sheet and pulling off the covering on one side (strips-side).... attach it to the cardstock you want to die-cut. Next die-cut the piece as you normally do (just place the adhesive side on the bottom). After die-cutting, peel the other side of the adhesive and adhere to your cardstock base.

The coloring of the images was done using Stampin' Blends markers. I stamped the leaves in Evening Evergreen and then colored them in using Soft Succulent.

Halloween Hoot

 

Okay, so I saw Tina's card on Pinterest - from TinasCraftyInSpot.com.  She, in turn, CASed it from M.Robinson Design. It had to be a good one if a few people are creating it - right! This was a labor of LOVE for sure... line up the stamps to go within the windows. Coloring in the images with Stampin' Blends... and then die-cutting them out. Hope my niece adores it!

For the background, instead of sponging like Tina did... I used the 'Oh, So Ombre' DSP. Cool - huh!

Thanks for hooting by!

Little Home

 

When I saw this cute card on Pinterest, I knew I had to create one of my own using the colors I know my best friend would love! She's a fan of pink... and she just moved into a new home! Congratulations to Dawn and her Mom, Kathy (my second Mom).

As you can see I changed many things to make the card my own, but wanted to share where/who I got inspiration from.
