Ladybug Card

 Jennifer has been on vacation with her Dad and I wanted to have a card ready for her when she came home.  She loves ladybugs so I thought I would use SU's Hello Ladybug stamp set along with the matching punch.

I saw a video that - Brenda Quintana - made on her website and fell in love with it and knew that it was what I wanted to make for Jennifer.  I changed the colors and design up a bit using some scrap DSP I had on hand.

For inside my card, I used some more of the DSP and colored in another ladybug.  I thought it turned out so cute and she loved it!

Birthday Card

 Here is another birthday card that I made for my daughter's boyfriend.  I looked through my birthday stash and came up with this card.

I decided to make this a 5"x7" card.  The base card was made with Gina K's Jelly Bean Green CS.  This was the first time I used her CS and I like the color as well as the thickness.  When you order one of her kits they include a few samples of her CS which is a nice way to see if you like them without purchasing them.  I found some scrap SU DSP that I thought matched for the first layer.  I cut out my next layer with a die from Stamp Market and used SU's One wild Ride stamp set for some decoration.  My sentiment was SU's Happiest of Birthdays stamp.  I decided to put a button tied with some twine on the layer as well.  When I showed my husband the card, he wanted to know why I put that on the card!  LOL!!

I used the same stamp set for my inside sentiment and some DSP scraps as well.  I liked how it tuned out even with the button!!  We have not gone out of the house in 2 days as the temps have been in the 90's and tomorrow is suppose to be higher!!  I see more crafting time in my future!

Pansy Birthday Card

 Here is another birthday card that I made over the weekend!  This card was made with SU's stamp set Pansy Patch!  They must have been thinking of me when they produced this set!! LOL!!  

This card came together pretty quick.  I used Garden Green for my base card and the DSP from the set for the layer on the card. separated with a band of Garden Green.  I also used the associated punch for the flower and leaves.  The punches for the greeting are from SU as well.

For the inside sentiment, I used the same stamp set.  I love everything about this set!  I have a few more cards I am working on for the next few weeks.  This is definitely a busy month. 

Jennifer went to Lego Land over the weekend and had a wonderful time!  She sent me these pictures which I thought were so great!

These were just a few.  They had whole cities put together as well as rides and they are building a water park!  Great place!

Anniversary Teapot Card

 I have been busy making cards for the next two months.  We have so many occasions coming up.  I made this adorable Teapot Card for my daughter's anniversary.  I love Heartfelt Creations Collections and their Teapot Collection is one of my favorites.  This card I made 5"x 7" and I covered the base card with some of their DSP.  I then used their Eyelet Frame Die to layer on top of it.

I die cut the teapot, cup, spoon and sugar bowl out and made some small flowers from their Cherry Blossom Collection and used small stamens for the centers.  For my sentiment, I used SU's So In Love stamp set.  It takes some time to make the flowers especially, but I always love the final results.  I hope everyone had a great holiday.  We are definitely feeling the summer heat but I still rather have that than the snow!!
