Fireworks Birthday

Fourth of July is my dad's birthday so it is always a special

celebration.  Here is this years card, the big 80! I saw this

fold on the cover of Card Maker magazine and had to make

 it for my dad!  Hope my American friends enjoy the

festivities.



Fourth of July

I mailed a couple of Fourth of July cards this morning.
 I did the starburst technique and ran the papers through the
cuddle bug for some dimension.

A few fun challenges:

Partial Die Cutting

 

I had been wanting to try partial die cutting, so here is my first card, I used

a Sizzix hero Arts set and was happy with the results.  If you google "partial

die cutting" directions are everywhere.  I have a new "Chemo Buddy" so

this card will go in the mail to her in the morning. Take care all.

Lighthouse

This was my dear husbands Fathers Day card. It is a  variation on the

typical gatefold card,  I ran a ribbon around the card, and placed

my image on the right instead of the left. I used Stampscapes

lighthouse, fancypantsdesigns down by the shore patterned

paper and  ribbon from my stash.

Ship in a Bottle

This ship in a bottle is a digi from Doodle Panty.  It makes

a nice masculine card. I've been absent from my blog for a bit,
we just had a nice  vacation in Branson, Mo with
extended family (including a visit to Scrapbooks Forever),  and then
a few days at home  before returning to work.  Very refreshing.

Sunflower filled day

 

This Sunflower Bottle digi is on of my many favorites of  Maybelle RO's

designs, sentiment is from Peddlers Pac.  I'm sure you have noticed that

I like sunflowers, such a bright cheery flower!  I like to enter it in:
