Father's Day Nature


A simple brayered Father's Day card. This is the old Lovely as a Tree set and the sentiment from Nature Silhouettes. I masked the moon and brayered Daffodil Delight, Groovy Guava, Wisteria Wonder, Elegant Eggplant and Not Quite Navy. Then stamped the trees in black. Added accents with modern label punch and brads.

Field Flower Thanks



My goal with this card was to try to use a color combo that wouldn't be typical for me to select with the Field Flower set.  I used cajun craze, lucky limeade, early espresso, and white cardstock. For ink I used cherry cobbler for the flower outline, pumpkin pie for the two step stamping, and always artichoke for the stem and sentiment. I used the labels and bitty banners framelits, the petals a plenty and square lattice embossing folders, and the ribbon border and ticket punches. The sentiment is the itty bitty banners set with an antique brad below it.

Now on to father's day cards...

Floral Frames Happiness



I've been playing around with my new stuff! These Floral Frames Framelits are so fun - I love them : )
This is more of a diecut and embossed card with minimal stamping. I haven't used the happiness shared sentiment in ages, but it seemed appropriate.

I sponged the edges of each layer of the Floral Frames with crumb cake and added a 3/4" circle stamped from the Posy Punch set and a 2 3/8" scallop punched in Elegant Eggplant.

  • Wisteria Wonder, Elegant Eggplant, Sahard Sand and Vanilla cardstock
  • Happiness Shared and Posy Punch stamp sets

  • Floral Frames Framelits
  • 2 3/8" Scallop, Itty Bitty Shapes, and 3/4" circle punch

Everything Eleanor

I almost didn't get the Everything Eleanor stamp set - and now I'm so glad I did! There are so many other things I should be doing right now, instead of playing with my new SU stuff : )  Anyhoo...I used markers and blender pens on the flowers. The one on the right had yellow for the center sticking up things - it didn't look right; so I colored over it with the white and it came out a yellowish color.
SUPPLIES USED:
  • Sahara Sand, Melon Mambo Cardstock. Watercolor Paper
  • Petals a Plenty, Framed Tulips Embossing Folders
  • Floral Frames Framelits, Bitty Banners Framelits
  • Everything Eleanor, Itty Bitty Banners stamp sets
  • Pink Pirouhette, Calypso Coral, Melon Mambo, Cherry Cobbler, Daffodil Delight, White markers; uni-ball Signo gel pen and blender pen
  • black stazon, Crumb Cake ink
  • Ribbon and pink rhinestones not SU
