Just Saying Hello

 

MMTPT775 - favorite time of day

USEIT2023 - Image

I needed to use up this image and it is just perfect for the challenge. My favorite time of day is when I get off work, all the house chores are done and I can put my feet up and relax.

I colored this cute Penny Black image with pencils, added some layers and finished with the sentiment on dimensionals and a few scattered flowers from my stash.

You are my Hero!

 


CAS744 - Paperclip

USEIT2023 - Paperclip

For my card I went with a US Navy theme using my new image from DRS Designs. I was so excited for this image as my nephew was in the Navy.

I stamped the image then stamped it again and popped the US Navy up on dimensionals.

Next, I colored the stars, rope and US Navy in yellow and layered the image on a navy blue card stock.

I cut a yellow and Navy strip and attached the image with a fun paper clip from my tote of items.

The card was finished with the You are my Hero! sentiment.

Thank you, to all that served and gave the ultimate sacrifice. You are my HERO!

Thank You

 


FS851 - This week's incredibly talented Featured Stamper is Caterina aka caterinafmig. I found this wonderful 
INSPIRATION.

I loved the large letters on her card which took me to using my large thank you die cut from Spellbinders. I used blue and white to cut out the thank part (it is great because you can get 2 cards if you swap the letters). I then glued to a slimline card base.

Next, I cut the word you 3 times from white then once from gold shimmer card stock to get the dimension.

I then added some die cut flowers, leaves and finished with some gems.

I am working to use up some scrap papers and brought out my greens for this card. I loved the paw print so I thought this image from Dare to Be Artzy was perfect for a card. I cut down the papers, stamped the paw print 3 times and added the sentiment under the paw prints.

The card was finished with some candy dots.

Father's Day

I am working on getting my Father's day cards made and needed to get a couple with tools for the handy guys in my family.

With Sympathy

 

FS850 - This week's incredibly talented Featured Stamper is stampindoe aka to Kay. Her gallery is full of so many amazing cards. I found this INSPIRATION.

I do not have that paper but thought some die cut circles in rainbow colors were perfect and a great way to use up several scrap papers.

Once all the papers were glued down I embossed with the paw print emboss folder. I then added a die cut dog and heat embossed the sentiment on a black strip.

Kay noted on her card that it was to thank those that donated to the sewing group. So, this card was perfect inspiration for me to create for my donation box.

Deepest Sympathy

 

WT949 - Mountain

For my card I used this retired Stampin Up scene and stamped it a couple of times to get it long enough for the front of the card. I liked leaving it not colored to keep the card a bit more simple for a sympathy card.
