All About Beer

 

When I saw Oksana's card... I knew I needed one for myself! Thanks for the inspiration! For the background... I used the DSP within the 'All About Autumn' papers. The dies are from 'Spotlight on Nature', 'Tasteful Labels' and 'Circles Collection' dies.

Thanks for taking a closer look!

Beach Fish

 

Our Godson is turning 1!!!!! His theme for his birthday is "O-Fish-ally 1" - how cool is that!

I picked out an old stamp set 'Fishy Friends' - oh they are adorable! I'm glad I remembered I had this set! lol (I have so many now... it's hard to keep track!).

I paired this set with the seaweed/ sea grass stamps from 'Friends are Like Seashells' stamp set. And used the Designer Series Paper - Beach Boardwalk DSP.

I chose to design the sentiment myself with My Memories Suite digital software... using the Fonts -  Curlz MT & Cornerstone. The Fishing rod is from MM9 (My Memories 9).

Thanks for taking a look!

Wild Swirls

 

Bree Renwick's card was so lovely... I just knew I needed one for myself. I love the 'Wild Bunch' stamp set. Wish it had a coordinating die-set to match, but fussy cutting wasn't so bad. I chose the colors Melon Mambo and Gray Granite for mine!

Tropical Shirt

 

My husband wears Hawaiian shirt all summer long. We love Hawaii and anything tropical, so its fitting that I create a birthday card with a Hawaiian shirt on it. I used two retired sets from Stampin' Up! 'Tropical Chic' for the leaves and 'Do The Hula' for the Hawaiian shirt and 'The Right Words' for the sentiment.

The color combo used was Garden Green/Lemon Lolly and Soft Sea Foam

Baptism Cards 2026

 

When I saw this Fun Fold Card, I knew I had to create two for my Godson, Matthew, and my cousin's son, Owen. They are both being Baptized the same weekend (sadly not in the same state, so we are unable to go to both). But such a lovely card for a wonderful occasion. Thanks to whomever made this beauty! I will use this a lot! 

Measurements are as follows:

8-1/2x 5-1/2 white - score at 1-3/8 and 4-1/4

1-1/8 x 5-1/4 white embossed design (I added a mat to this piece to make it stand out of Boho Blue)

1-3/8 x 4-1/4 white

1-1/8 x 4 white embossed design (again, I added a mat to this piece to make it stand out of Boho Blue)

I used the Designer Series Paper of 'Thoughtful Journey' to create a serene feel to the card. 

Measurements are as follows:

1-1/2 x 5-1/4 right inside piece

2x = 2-5/8 x 5-1/4 for both the left inside and the left front

Thanks for taking closer look!

Gallery Greetings

 

I loved the layout for Nilka World's card, so I chose that for my own card. Loved the monochrome of red/pinks too. Thanks Nilka World for your inspiration!

I used the 'Gallery Blooms' stamp set for my focal piece and colored the flowers with Real Red, Melon Mambo and Pretty in Pink.  I used the Layering Squares dies.

The sentiment is from the 'Go To Greetings' stamp set and I used the 'Lovely Arrangements' dies to cut the sentiment out.

Thanks for taking a closer look!

Lovely Tools

 

I liked Laura Mackie's card with its simplicity, so I knew I had to create one of my own. I used the Alphabet dies that I had.... which are called 'Large Letters' dies. I also used the die within the 'Lovely Arrangements' set for the sentiment piece.

Thanks for looking!

Happy Father's Day to all the Father's out there!

Country Succulents

 

I paired the 'Country Flowers' stamp set with the 'Simply Succulents' stamp set this time around. They do work beautifully together. The 'Spotlight on Nature' dies are the perfect background piece along with the 'Country Woods' DSP. I added a Wink of Stella to the flowers to make them shine,

The sentiment piece is from the 'Happiness Abounds' stamp set and the die is from the 'Hearts and Hugs' dies.
