Feel Better

Back again today with another card. This one was made for a friend out West who just had some surgery.  I hope it cheers her up a bit.

I'm getting in right under the wire for the Freshly Made Sketches Challenge, but I thought clean -lined and fresh was a great way to go for this card. I was going through my stamp sets and came across the Sassy Salutations (ret) and fell in love with the font all over again. I'm not sure why I hadn't used it more. The flower is from Happy Watercolor, another pretty stamp set. The paper is retired and the Pretty in Pink Stampin'write marker also. I used the "swoosh" stamp from Work of Art (ret) in Blushing Bride. By the way, another stamp set I really like and probably won't get rid of anytime soon.

That's it for today. Have a wonderful weekend and as always, go do something you love!

Looking Sharp

Today I worked on another birthday card using the True Gentleman DSP , Truly Tailored Stamp Set, and the Tailored Tag Punch. This card is for my oldest grandson who will be turning 16 next week. It's so hard to believe he's this age, driving, and in a few years graduating HS. Time certainly goes by quickly.

Inside sentiment from same stamp set

I did use an old embossing folder on the Tranquil Tide panel, Bitty Banners for Crushed Curry Banner which I cut in half and attached with glue dots and added dimensionals onto the back. The card base is Tranquil Tide, Night of Navy inner panel and Night of Navy ink was used for the sentiments.

Have a wonderful weekend and as always, Go Do Something You Love!

Sorry I missed your birthday

I needed a quick Birthday card for a friends birthday I missed. This was the first chance I have gotten to work with the new SU True Gentleman DSP. I just love the colors and designs on this paper. They actually are some of my favorite color combos.

The stamps are from an unknown manufacture, papers are Stampin' Up! Crumb Cake, Night of Navy, and Tranquil Tide. I also used Very Vanilla card stock for the base of the card.

and Chocolate Chip ink. The button is just one I had in my stash that was already threaded. Hooray! I did use the new Taylored Tag punch, which is such a great addition to my punch selection. Hopefully, SU will come out with some new stamps that will accommodate this punch.

That's about it. I'm having family over for dinner, so I better get that started. Have a great evening and enjoy something you love.

I had second thoughts about the card above and decided to change the card base to the navy. I like it much better. What do think?
