Happy Father's Day

Happy Father's Day to all you wonderful fathers out there and to those who took over the role when the biological father wasn't in the picture.

These pictures didn't turn out all that great but I made a father's day card for Phil's father and one for Hal the other day.

I took some premade cards to use as my base then took a piece of white paper and cut it 3 1/2 by 4 3/4 inches.  Then I cut the bottom at one inch and stamped Happy Father's Day in Chocolate Chip.  For the ties, I used my Stampin Up markers to color each one a different color then I embossed the bottom half with polka dot folder.  I took a piece of green scrap paper I had laying around and used the VersaMark ink pad to stamp Happy Father's day then took some twine and wrapped it on the green piece of paper.

I cut out Dad and Hal at one inch on the plantin schoolbook cartridge and used two way glue to attach it to the green piece of paper.  I think the cards turned out great, sadly the pictures did not do them justice!

Happy Father's Day!

Graduation

Most of the children in my preschool classroom are graduating this month.  It's been a long journey but we have all grown together and I'm ready to send them on their way to Kindergarten next fall.


I was thinking of making some cards for them but didn't want to spend a lot of time making them either.  Then I remember I had these 3 inch by 3 inch cards that came in my grab bag from Stampin Up.  So I pulled them out and figured this would work out well. The grab bags came with some other cardstock cuts so I figured I would use some of it as well.

I'm not sure what color the red is but it's a 3 by 3 inch card. Then I cut a piece of white cardstock at 2 3/4 by 2 3/4.  I used elementary alphabet builder wheel stamp with Green Galore.  I had to do four lines to fill up the square.  Then I took a piece of green cardstock that was in the grab bag, they were already cut and fit perfectly across my card.  Then I punched out an oval, inked the edges in Real Red then used Papertrey Ink stamp set to stamp Happy Day in Real Red.  I decided it needed a little bling so I used Imaginisce I-Rock tool and added some gems to it.

Graduation is next Saturday so I better get the rest of these cards done :0)

Have a fantastic day!

Happy Birthday Sinu!

Tomorrow is my friend's birthday.  I saw this post about making a Z-Fold card and thought I'd give it a shot.  I also made a box and put five different cards in it for Sinu.  I hope she likes it :0)

 The card base is cut at 4 1/4 by 11 in a light green color then I scored it at 2 3/4 and 5 1/2.  I then used my Imagine and used the Lori's Garden cartridge to print out the yellow pattern paper.  The larger piece is cut at 5 1/4 by 4 and the two smaller pieces are cut at 2 1/2 by 4.  Then I created the butterfly and stem of flowers from the Lori's Garden cartridge. I decide to print and cut the flower in layers and then put them together. I did add 3D dots on the flower leaves so they pop up. 

This is what the inside of the card looks like.  I cut out a 2 1/2 and a 2 1/4 inch rectangle off one of the new cartridges that came with the E2.  I then stamped a little birthday saying on the creamed color of paper.   I did jazz it up a little bit by adding some silver ribbon and some pearls on the butterfly.  I think it turned out cute!

For her present I created this box at Stamp Club last month and thought I'd fill it up with some cards.  All these cards that are shown below are created using different Stampin Up materials. I'm not going to list everything I did for these cards but wanted to show you some pictures.

Happy Birthday Sinu! I hope you have a wonderful day!

Happy Together

Phil had been complaining because I didn't get a card made for his birthday.  The truth is I had been really sick and just didn't get around to it.  When I was feeling better I made this quick and easy card for him. I think it turned out great.

I used all Papertrey Ink paper and the stamp set of course was from Stampin Up called Happy Together. I cut the Enchanted Evening paper at 8.5 by 5.5 and folded it in half.  Then I used some Simply Chartreuse paper and distressed it a little to look like grass, I cut two pieces at one inch.  Then I used some brown at the bottom and tied on Simply Chartreuse ribbon and a piece of white ribbon in between the two Simply Chartreuse bows.

I stamped the saying Happy Together in Real Red by Stampin up and a couple brown flower buttons on the end.

I think it turned out pretty neat for a quick simple card in five minutes. :0)

Have a good weekend!

Nothing beats Stamp Club Saturdays

So it's been awhile since the last time I posted on here.  I guess life has just gotten a little too busy to be making cards.  But today was Stamp Club so I headed over to Christina's to make some cards.  These cards are so cute. I changed the saying on a couple of my cards so I could use them for Mother's Day.

I think they all turned out really cute! And of course I had to buy the stamp set so I could create others just like these! :0)

I hope you all have a happy Easter!
