Hello and welcome to my blog. I have a tag to share for the challenge over at Always Fun challenge #113

 

Our theme is SUMMER FUN

 

I wanted a larger area for my card so I created a tag. I used a Tim Holtz large tag. I then used my cloud and ground template to create the background. I then stamped and colored with Zig markers the My favorite things images and cut them out.  I adhered them to the tag. I stamped the MFT sentiment.. which is so cute.  The added some ribbon and twine to the hole area.. These darling dogs are having some summer fun.. they are tiny like my three babies.

Happy father's day

Sunday June 2, 2019

I've always loved this elephant from Stampin up.. I used some Stampin up ink and stamped on white paper. I used Taylored Expression postage die and cut it out. I then used black card stock and larger postage die and mounted together. I used a piece of designer paper that I thought looked masculine and added the image. I then took some Club scrap scraps and My favorite things banner dies and cut some out and laid on the card front. I used Sugar Pea "happy father's day" and added this to the card.

Challenges:
As you like it - his or her (why) his - I like that I can use more animals and darker colors. I feel girls need bright flowery colors but in truth I love doing his or her cards.  but my fav. is his..

Get well soon - Creative with Stamps #39

Saturday June 1, 2019

 

Hello and welcome to June 2019.. I hope you're having a great summer and have some fun vacations coming up.. We will be heading over to my daughters in Montana again later this summer. I love the drive over and fun relaxing time over there.

 

Well today we have another challenge at

 Creative with Stamps #39

Our theme this month is GET WELL

 

 

 for my card I used Stamp Simply tulip stamp. (I won two stamp sets of my choice at the beginning of the year. This is one of my choices)

I stamped the flower two times. I colored the image with copics and went over the flower with Wink of Stella.. I used My favorite things stitch die. I ran the blue card stock through an embossing folder. I then used MFT get well die and cut it 4 times and used a scrap from Quick quote and layered them. Added the words to the card and went over the top to with Wink of Stella. I thought of adding sequins.. but thought this could be for a guy and not sure they like sequins. So left them off. What do you think?? sequins for guys or not??
