7th Anniversary

 

SC908 - This week's Sketch on splitcoaststampers.com

My niece and nephew are celebrating their 7th wedding anniversary this year. Both of them asked me for a slot machine for an anniversary card. Well, thankfully I was able to get my niece to ask for something different. So this is for my nephew to give to his wife. LOL!

I cut the layers, stamped the sentiment and a few different love sentiments then die cut the 7s in gold glitter paper and doodles the line across the 7s.

Kitty Christmas

 

SCSCCJUN22 - Movies

CCC22JUN - Let It Snow - The paper actually has the words Let It Snow, and I thought it would be a fun play on the June Challenge.

I used my Cricut to cut out this cute kitty in yellow and die cut the frame layers. I paper pieced the kitty together adding a bit of additional sponging to each of the layers. The eyes, nose, both, Wiskers and bow have a bit of pen marks to add a bit more interest to the fun kitty.

Butterfly Anniversary

 

IC857 - Party Sizzle where I found this INSPIRATION

This is a card for my hubby for our anniversary. I saw that napkin and it reminded me of my wedding ring. It is shaped like a butterfly and the inspiration was perfect for a butterfly shaped card.

I cut the butterfly die shape then created an easel card. I then die cut the gold layer and stamped the image on the gold with stazon ink.

Next I die cut the lacy butterfly then glued just the body so the wings could be free.

I stamped the flowers, shaped and added stamens to them. I added a couple of leaves and added the sentiment to hold open the easel.

I am so happy to create this card for my hubby. Good thing he does not mind girly floral cards.
