Dienamics Split Chevron Cover-Up

Sorry for the shadow on the picture, but I just LOVE the colors in this card. The background is a die by MFTstamps (dienamics) called Split Chevron Cover-up. It is so dainty in real life! The scribbles behind the hedgehog is a die by Impression Obsession. Leaves are a die by Cheery Lynn and the Hedgehog is a stamp set and matching die set by MFTstamps (Dienamics) called Happy Hedgehog. Image is colored with Copics. 

Die-versions "Sweet Petites" Flamingo

With my love of all things Flamingo I just had to  make a card with my latest aquired flamingo die!

This time I wanted to make something a little more silhouetted. 

I used Dylusions spray inks to make a background by spraying lightly onto a piece of white cardstock. Then I blotted with a paper towel to get this effect. The oval was cut with Spellbinders Nestabilites ovals. The flower is Cheery Lynn Judy's Blooms die.

Christmas in July?

We were talking the other day about doing a Christmas in July event. As a result of our conversation I made up these cards using dies that I personally own. I love these IO puppy and kitty die sets!

Other dies used were Memory Box tree, Memory Box window die, IO trio of deer die (used large deer) and I also used the Martha Stewart twig punch to do the swag, but you could also use the Memory Box twig die! 

Scrapbook page just for Dad!!

Nothing is more special to little girls as their daddies! This was my first Father's Day without my Dad and I spent it going through old photos and reliving memories. I created this page in celebration of my daddy!

Arrows and Dad title were custom cut at Picture This. I used the MFT Fishtail Banner dies and this wonderful 2 sided paper. (My dad's favorite color was blue and mine's green so this worked perfect!!)

Now for me to find just the right pictures to add!

Exploding box card

My nephew Adam's little boy was baptized a couple of weeks ago. What a wonderful day to celebrate! For his special day, I decided to make an exploding box card. PaperCuts makes a great kit to get you started on your card. All the main pieces (base etc) are in the kit. All you need to do is add your papers and dies and assemble!

For this card I used blue Coordinations card stock, cut to size and embossed with an argyle embossing folder. Then I sanded the embossed to make it pop. 

I added coordinating papers to the flaps. I used the deer trio from IO, The tree trio from IO, clouds from Memory Box, hot air balloon from Memory Box, Baptism saying by Cheery Lynn. Acetate strips were used to float the clouds. 

You can pick up your box card starter kits at Picture This! What kind of card are you going to make?

Rainy day duck

I used this stamp by Great Impression not that long ago and just had to use it in another card because it is SUPER cute!!! Ducks remind me of spring and not that long ago I mentioned how bad my spring fever is this year! And Easter is coming up in a few weeks!! Ducks (along with bunnies) just scream Easter!

Background paper is My Mind's Eye. Acrylic dots are by Queen & Co. and Umbrella die is by IO. Image is colored with Copics.

Creative Cards for every day!

I've been super busy with all the end of the school year stuff going on with the two youngest girls. 

Youngest will be graduating from Middle School in a couple weeks as well as getting Confirmed! Middle girl is finishing up her sophomore year. Both are getting ready for auditions for Show Choir as well as finalizing next years class schedules! Then marching practices are starting so they can rock the last parade with the retiring band director. Middle is the Drum Major and directs the band and Youngest will be new to the drum line! So much fun.

Anyway, on to what I've been up to. Worked up this card yesterday quick before work. Fell in love with this Authentique paper, Sweet from the Delightful collection.  The main die is from Memory Box called Bailiwick Background. Butterflies from the Martha Stewart punch, Congratulations from Just Right Clear Dies, Flowers from Cheery Lynn and Fishtail banner by MFT.

 Working on ideas for MNT club at work. This is one idea that bounced into other ideas. So cute!
Spellbinders rectangle dies are used to cut out the frames. The cloud, sprig and trees are by Memory Box. Butterflies punch by Martha Stewart. Bunnies and grass by IO. I love how this turned out!!

 Another idea worked up for MNT. Patterned paper is Basic Grey. Flower die is Memory Box and ovals by Spellbinders. Isn't it just peachy? This card was inspired by one that Leann J. had on display at work. My scraplifted project of the day!!

And lastly I whipped this birthday card up quick on Friday night for my Middle and her friend to give one of their teachers for her birthday. Image is by Saturated Canary. Embossed background by Darice. Star circle by Memory Box and Fishtail banner by  MFT. Stamp by Great Impressions. Middle said that the actual card looked SO much cuter than the picture. I really enjoyed coloring her and can't wait to work her up into a couple other cards!

Now off to work on some graduation cards for all the graduations that are coming up fast. Need 3 for this weekend alone! YIKES!! I haven't even came up with a great idea for my grad cards yet! Better get my crafting on!
