Graduation Card

 It is hard to believe but Jennifer is on summer vacation.  Where did this past year go?  When I was working it seemed like time stood still, but now it is just flying bye.  I wanted to make her a little card as she did so great in school this year even with Covid going on around her.  I saw a similar card in Pinterest done with either hearts or stars.  I made it in her school colors which are red, white and blue.  

I used SU's Gorgeous Grunge stamp set again for the spattering dots on the White Whisper layer.  My sentiment came from SU's Perfect Pairing stamp set and the tiny stars came from Gina K's stamp set Star Struck.  I used my dot embossing folder and then punched out some stars using SU's star punch and mounted them on the card.  I really liked how it turned out!

For my inside sentiment, I used the same stamp sets.  She liked the card but I think she liked what was inside it better!  She starts summer camp next week where her Mom works and is excited to see her friends that she went to daycare with.  Here is a picture of her the last day of school.  She is definitely getting tall!

Father's Day Card

Well, here is the last Father's Day card that I had to make.  I was happy to be able to use some older SU stamps. 

The base card was made in black CS with the first layer in Whisper White using Heartfelt Creations Eyelet Rectangle & Basics Dies.  I used SU's stamp set Gorgeous Grunge to stamp my dots by stamping off once so the ink is not so dark.  The striped DSP was punched out with a SU punch.  For my sentiment, I used  my $1 stamp from Michael's and cut it out with Spellbinder's Circle Dies.  In my button box, I found a black one and tied some twine around it and used some glitter dots to finish it off. 

My inside was just decorated with the left over DSP again.  It came together pretty quick which was good!  I have to now work on  a Congrats card for Jennifer as her school is ending tomorrow.

Father's Day Card

 I am still working on making cards for Father's Day.  I was looking through Pinterest and saw this card and thought it was pretty neat.   I liked how they used the DSP in different directions.  

The card base is  a 5" x 5" using Whisper White and the first layer is in Tempting Turquoise.  The second layer of DSP is 1/4" smaller and then I angled the DSP for the third layer.  For my sentiment, I used an old Michael's $1 stamp and embossed it in Black Detail die cutting it with Heartfelt Creations Eyelet Circle Basic small and Large.  I outlined it with some Tempting Turquoise CS turning the DSP on the side.  I think it made  a neat design.

For my inside sentiment, I used the Amazing You stamp set again from SU on a scrap of DSP I had left over.  Well, two cards down and one more to go.  It's amazing how quickly these holidays come and go!

Father's Day Card

 Well, it seems like we are slipping into the month of June and with that comes Father's Day.  The first card I made is pretty forthcoming.

The base card is made with SU's CS Tempting Turquois.  I always loved this color and thought it was perfect for this card.  On my first layer of Whisper white, I used the stamp set Sunshine Sayings from SU to stamp some swatches of the ink.  Then I used a punch for the DSP and SU's Happy Birthday Die.  The sentiment came from SU's Thoughtful Banners stamp set.  I found some tiny gems in the same color to finish it off.

For my inside sentiment, I used the same technique and the stamp set Amazing You from SU.  I really liked how this technique turned out. When Jennifer and Daisy were away for the holiday look what they found!!

Of course they had to go and investigate!

Nothing like ice cream on a hot day at the beach!

And of course they had to take a goodie home!

When they got home, look what they found had bloomed while they were gone!  My daughter has great luck with her  flowers.  I love this purple rose.
