A SAILBOAT FOR MY DAD

i made another card for father's day because we are even closer to their special day and any other project would have been looked out of place, don't you think so too?

this one is from designer nic squirrell and it fits with all the rave for a nautical theme and of course for father's day.
if you miss the pegboard card from last week, you can still check it out here.

-this is my take on the sailboat-

Happy Father's Day

5" x 7" 

i did some dry embossing with my cuttlebug and an old fiskars embossing plate i have in my stash.

i embossed the yatch (sailboat) and the blue background cardstock.

the clouds are from some die cuts i normally have at hand and i believe they are from a cricut cartridge, so is the sun which i popped a bit.

i have been adding some wink of stella shimmer to some projects but is hard to see. in this case i added it to the sun, clouds and the happy father's day words.

a bit of a rustic twine for a bit of masculine touch.

i love when i open the card, the left side looks awesome: just like a silhouette.

(sorry about my geraniums but we are having rainy and cloudy days and i get better lightning sometimes in this front window facing west)

this super pretty Thank You word are from designer jamie cripps and i think it looks  adorable. the font is so pretty. 

the lines behind it are just some scraps from the front of the card. i think they look nice and they carry some of the design to the inside.

supplies used:

yatch card: digiplayground item# 19078

thank you word: digiplayground item# 19204

cardstock: recollections

embossing folders:  fiskars

embossing machine: cuttlebug

bling: wink of stella (clear)

die cutter: cricut explore

software: cricut design space

adhesive: martha stewart

hope you get you mojo going and you like this card as much as i did.

and once more, thank you so much for stopping by and if you like what you see, please share to any of your fav social media sites.

CELEBRATE!

hello all,

welcome to the flowerdisco's scrap hut!

today is my turn to share what i made for artful delight using their fabulous may card kit. i think i already told you i am in love with the color combo in this kit and with all the goodies that come within. in this card i used the rub-on's as my main element and i also used one of the most beautiful buttons i have ever seen...i know it is bit exaggerated but the button and the colors are really-really pretty :)

Celebrate

3.5" x 5"

see how pretty this button is?

as you can see i also used the tiny alpha's to spell my sentiment.

and look at the pretty cityscape, clouds and sun...they are all rub on's that i colored in with my markers.

due to the rub-on nature they turned a bit blotchy but i still loved the look and decided to left it as is. 

a bit of stickles for the radiant sun...i believe they are celebrating Memorial Day despite the non-traditional colors...see the firework?

Happy Memorial Day!

 to all of you and to the ones who gave their lives for ours.

---a minute of silence for them all---

this is how i do it for some holidays...i give them a minute of silence in where i give them all my heart and thoughts in appreciation.

and this is my sweet card for the artful delight design team and the end of my first month with them.

soon, we will be showcasing the june kit so keep your eyes open. :P

remember, artful delight has their challenges in which you can win a kit of choice.

A PUMPKIN SPICE BLOG PROJECT...mini square cards

welcome 

The Pumpkin Spice Blog

this is agnes and today is my turn to share with you a card project i made with mother's day in mind, after all Mother's Day is in two weeks.

  anyway, i want to wish you all a very

Happy Mother's Day.

(relax and relax and let them take you out for dinner, that is what i do anyway)

i made three 4 inches squared cards for today's inspiration. i was just thinking i better have some handy this year and not rush at the last moment to find or make one.

Most Loved Mom

4" square

for the the floral background and the banner i used a mother's love 6x6 pad from my my mind's eye. the banner i hand cut, the orange diecut behind the chipboard button was cut using a cricut cartridge. the chipboard button is also from my mind's eye (the sweetest thing collection).

my second card,
A Mother's Day
4" square

all the element of my card except the background paper are from the same  a mother's love paper pad from my mind's eye. the sentiment is from a retired clear stamp set from my pink stamper. i think you still can find some of her stamps here. the flower, frame and brackets are from sizzix dies.

and my last card,
Mom
4" square

here i used an assortment of items: 

the photo corner and the speech bubble are from traditions from carta bella stickers. 

the wreath paper and border are  from a mother's love and the chipboard heart is from  the fourteen collection from crate paper. the white paper was embossed with my cuttlebug and the cloud embossing folder is from darice. the mom word on this card it is also from another my pink stamper set 

Freedom Rocks

all the products i used from the pumpkin spice shop have been linked for easy access.

this trio of mother's day cards are going to be handy in anyone's household, :)

i hope you like them and whatever you decide to make, do not forget to have fun with it. 

see you next turn around,

take care now and have a beautiful day no matter what!

LONG TIME NO SEE....using digital images

i have been playing around again with these cute digital images from SKD and i made this cute card. it took me all day figuring out if i wanted colored in with markers, colored in with microsoft paint or paper pieced. that is how my day went, lol,  up in a cloud thinking and thinking.

Long Time No See

3.5" x 5"

---these colors are too soft for my liking but i had them and i wanted to try something different---

i used some mme patterned papers i had in my stash, a clear stamp sentiment, paper punches, markers,

the cricut die cutter, and some stickles for this card.

 see how cute!..i ended up paper piecing them and just colored the bows at the tails.

despite that i love the skd clouds, i thought of them after the fact and i was too tired already to go and print some out so i used the fiskars clouds punch. i fuzzy cut the kites, yes...it took me another long time, hehe.

here is the bottom half. the wood panel is from a different  mme patterned paper. the banner i cut with my cricut, just a rectangle that i made into a banner. the branches are punched out too. the sentiment from my dear friend stephanie's stamps.

as i mentioned before, not my colors but even so, i think it turned out pretty.

Supplies Used:

digital image:     sk digis (kite)

patterned paper:     my minds eye (fine and dandy); miss caroline (dillly dally) both from mme

clouds:     paper punch

bracket and banner:     cricut expression

branches:     ek sucess paper punch

sentiment:     wd clear stamps (everyday sentiments) 

stickles:     (diamond)

and this is it for today...

thank you so much for stopping by

---it took me longer to get the right light to photograph than the making this card. our days have been cloudy and cold and not much nice natural light coming in---.

i embossed the background, made a skinny banner of a strip of patterned paper to stamp my sentiment on, added a piece of jute fuzzing a bit with the ends, punched some clouds and some dots. the round circle was also punched to pop my colored fish. and lastly added some glossy accents to the fish eye and to the dots, some glitter to the fish body and clouds (and i did this using a small coloring brush so i did not get much on my fingers).

and i love the sentiment: drop me a line! super cute along the fish digi image, :D

white base cardstock and kraft cardstock:  carta bella (whisper white, midnight black/bone brown 

pink and blue patterned paper: basic grey (lucille)
