Happy 90th

 

My dad will be 90 on the Fourth of July so I made a special card for

him.  Circle die cuts are I got from Pinkfresh Studio's.  Teddy bear

I believe is Great Impressions - this had been in my stash

for many years.  Embossing folder by Darice. Looking forward

to our family get together to celebrate!

Leftover basket

 

I've been going through my basket of previously stamped images to use them

up.  I had over 12 acetate images stamped many years ago and run

through the Xyron.  Time to use them up!  A few I put Pearlex on the back

( third and fourth card)  then found it easier to use a variegated patterned

paper as a backing (first and second card).   I made about a dozen and this

is just a few of them.  I used snippets for most of the layers.  

 

 I have some Christmas ones left to play with another day.

Father's Day cards

 

I pulled out some old paper packs today in masculine colors to get

some Fathers Day inspiration and came up with two and a spare!  The

light house die makes two cards since you do an inlaid design, the

top one is my spare and the middle one is for my hubby.  The

lighthouse is Die Versions and the wheel is Momenta.  On my

dad's I paired a couple papers and embossed with a Tim

Holtz wood grain embossing folder, picked some coordinating papers

and come up with the third card.  Below is the snippets I used

up on all three, anxious to play with the rest of them as they

are great for masculine cards:

Have a wonderful day!

Butterflies

 

I think I have found my mojo!  I ink blended the yellow and pink

Catherine Pooler inks.  I then used a Catherine Pooler stencil over it with

 the same colors.  Then I embossed it with with a butterfly embossing

folder.  The butterflies and sentiment are also Catherine Pooler's,

coloring with Copic markers.
