I had fun making a birthday balloon card.
I used an Altenew 3d embossing folder. This is the first time I have used it. I watercolored the balloons in Lemon Lime Twist, Melon Mambo, and Pumpkin Pie all Stampin Up colors from this week’s color challenge at Splitcoaststampers. I used Ranger Watercolor Paper for embossing and coloring and placed it on Lemon Lime Twist cardbase.

Hello and welcome. It has been a few years since I did any stenciling so I thought it’s time to try again. Since it’s been so long I decided not to use more than one color.
Stencil used is by Hero Arts, die cut tag is Spellbinders. For just a little sparkle I added Wink of Stella to the label. Sentiment was printed on the computer and punched with a Stampin Up punch and lightly sponged the edges with Whisteria Wonder. Pearls were in my stash.
Thanks for stopping by I really appreciate you taking the time. Have a great day and stay healthy & safe.

Aquamarine is the birthstone for March my birth month and has always been a favorite color of mine. My goal is to ink up some sets that have been sitting in bins unused way to long and first up is: Taylored Expressions HedgeHugs Stamp and Layering stencil set. The background stamp was inked in black ink and then the layering stencils for the bodies in two shades of aqua with light handed TE’s Peaches n Cream for the belly and face. This was a cute gift with purchase set from TE in February. Using Waffle Flower A2 layering dies to cut and mat a few panels and a SimonSaysStamps word die for the sentiment will complete my card today.

Hello and welcome. Today’s card is just because.
Background paper was found online. I used an embossing folder from The Paper Place, sorry I don’t know the name of it, on the sand. Mom & daughter images are from online coloring pages colored with Copic’s, and fussy cut. Umbrella is online clip art, fussy cut and popped up. Sun is a small hand punch lightly sponged with Summer Sun stamp pad from Stampin Up.

Wish it was me sitting on one of those adirondack chairs but this card will be saved for a girlfriend’s 70th birthday who loves the ocean and going on island vacations. This will be perfect for her to enjoy, I believe.
Using patterned paper from my stash, I die cut Gina K Designs At the Beach dies for the chairs, stamped the trees and grasses from the Ocean Silhouettes stamp set that was part of GKD’s Vintage Summer card kit as well as the sentiment. Added the soaring gulls and will call this card done. I may have gone a little overboard with the grasses and maybe my trees should have been a little taller but all in all I was happy with the outcome with plans to make another one like this.

A view from the beach, looking out at the ocean, watching the birds flying around and the gorgeous sun is the card for my son this year for Father’s Day. In addition to that and the added Cuttlebug D’vine embossing folder, I will be adding this to the Can You Handle The Pressure challenge. My embossed panel was inked with SimonSaysStamp trio inks by pressing my ink pads in different directions on the panel, then embossed with the D’vine folder. My scene was made with Hero Arts Color Layering Waves, a punched circle for my sun and Spellbinders oval and scalloped nestabilities dies. Sentiment from Gina K Designs Masculine Messages and a bit of twine to complete my card.

Hello and welcome. After a wonderful 5 day visit from our daughter, I’m back to posting.
While our daughter was here, she and her dad played many games of scrabble, so she decided to make a Father’s Day card with a scrabble theme. I Googled scrabble board clip art for the background paper. We cut 1/4″ squares that she wrote the letters on and glued them down. We made the card square so it looked like a game board. We also went shopping and she bought a gift to go with the card and left it here for me to give to him. I can’t wait to see his reaction to the card.
Thanks for stopping by I really appreciate you taking the time. Have a great day and stay healthy & safe.
I’m making some summer cards in conjuction with a few challenges and today’s card started off with Gina K Designs Sunshine Stencil which was masked off and partially stenciled for a landing spot for my tropical sunglasses. The sunglasses are a Taylored Expressions Shades of Summer stamp set with dies for the glasses.
I’ll be sharing my Clean & Simple card today with:

June’s Halloween card may have a bit more of a Day of the Dead vibe but it was fun to make. I saw the idea on Pinterest and decided to give it a try. I made a copy of the ephemera skull because I didn’t want it in color, added wink of stella for shine, embossed my web and matted it on black cardstock, stamped some foilage around the larger panel and punched flowers and butterflies in shades of grey. The 3d flowers sticker added just the right amount of color to complete my square card.
