Father's Day Wishes

I'm here tonight posting a Father's Day card that I just finished up for my husband. Nothing like doing something at the last minute! As I was looking through my saved Blogs to find some inspiration I came across this layout from by Julee Tilman over at Poetic Artistry

 

I saw that Julee's card was Nautical themed and immediately knew what stamp set I was going to use. Julee sold stamps under the name Verve and I had bought several from her collection. The stamps and dies I used on this card are from, Strong Anchor. I have used this several times over the years and it is one stamp set I will not retire from my stamp collection.

The background is from a SU DSP paper (ret.) and also used SU Night of Navy and Real Red with matching ink. The base is Neenah Solar White #110 lb. I actually had all the paper and colored cardstock still on my work desk from a card that I had made earlier, so it came together fairly quickly and that was a plus for me.

That's about it. It's getting late and I want to stamp and cut some card pieces for a card I'm making tomorrow. Have a good evening and enjoy your Sunday.

Birthday Blessings

Just posting tonight a card I worked on yesterday using The Flower Challenge #45 with the theme of the color Navy plus one. My final decision on the second color was to use Altenews, Wisteria, and Hydrangea on the layered flower and leaves from Altenews Garden Treasure stamp with matching dies. I'll be posting this over at The Flower Challenge.

My sentiment was from the Bitty Birthday Wishes by MFT, SU Night of Navy, Neenah Solar White 100#, MFT Stitched Sentiment Strips, SU Subtle Textured 3D EF.

 Have a restful evening and a great Thursday tomorrow. Stay Weel and Safe!

I Moose You a Lot

I just finished up two identical cards this afternoon for my sweet GC who live in Maine. I haven't seen them in almost a year, but prayerfully will in a few months. I try to send them cards every couple of months. Although we video chat they love getting Happy Mail.

I'll be posting this card over at "Just Us Girls" for their recent challenge, Frames.

I have used this stamp set recently, but not the Moose image in MFT Bear Hug Bunch. Maine has a big population of Moose, so this was perfect for the kids. The hearts and sentiment were also from this set. The papers are from SU, and so is the Woodland EF. I used for the Frame trend, MFT's Rectangle Peek A Boo Window Die-namic.

That's it for now. Tomorrow I'll be working on creating a house warming card and a Father's Day card for my hubby, but I will be doing some cleaning before then Have a great week and Stay Safe and Well.

Blessings,
