Three Cheers

I could not resist playing with this free digi  Three Cheers Coffe Lovers Digital from Verve, and my new Tim Holtz's Thinlits die cuts.  Do they not pair up beautifully for this Fourth of July card?   Both were so much fun to play with. I have sparkle on the stars and straws but it does not show as  well in the pictures as in person.   I believe if you hurry you can still grab this adorable digi set from Verve and they have a sale!

Introducing Butterfly Elements

 

 

 

I can't believe it is the final day of the June MHKDesigns release.  And my favorite set was saved for the final day!

 

Todays release is:

 

Butterfly Elements

 

 

 

I could not resist two cards with this beautiful set.  The top card uses Butterfly Elements and the new French Country Papers.  Below I printed Butterfly Elements on vellum and immediately embossed it in gold, added an embossed border at the top and a couple sequins and there we are.  Two birthday cards ready to go.  I have a lot of June birthdays so these will be mailed soon.

Introducing I've Been Framed

Wow, already day four of MHKDesigns release!  Another fabulous set:

Todays release is:

 

I've Been Framed

I really liked this saying with the tree framing it, took minimal coloring with my Tim Holtz distress markers and paired it with some papers that have been in my stash for many years.   How do you like the photograph?  I found this wood slab at Michaels in the woodworking section and the window is my craft room/office window.  The lake is a bit muddy as we have had a lot of rain so stay tuned for a better picture when the rain has stopped for a bit.

I immediately pictured a shaker card with this hot pepper and "You are totally HOT,HOT, HOT and was quite pleased with the outcome.  The hot pepper at the bottom is fussy cut and has glossy accents on it for shine.  I had a difficult time getting a clear picture of this cards shaker section but you get the idea.  It is filled with all types of sequins, and glitter.
