yay/Cricut Explore/DS196

This sweet little Pail card was cut with my Explore Air with an image from the Simply Charmed cartridge included in my subscription to Design Space paired with the deconstructed sketch196 .

It was jump started by the 2 little munchkins below, my grandsons, Kempton and Renior. I had sent them some money for Easter and they decided to spend it on these colorful pail and shovel beach sets. 

I fell in love with the image and just had to make a card. The SU DSP is High Tides  paired with Calypso Coral, Pacific Point, Smokey Slate, and Summer Starfruit. I used 2 of the dies from the Circle Card thinlit, the star punch and the Star EF. I thought the sentiment from, Remembering Your Birthday fit perfectly. Don't you? 

One of the boys has a birthday in a several months and hope I remember that I made this so I can send it to him. :0)

Make it a great Friday and go do something CRAFTY!

Hugs,

You're How Old/ VlVFeb2015#2

Today I'm posting sketch #2 of the VivaLa Verve challenge for the month of February. I needed a birthday card for one of my sons who was turning 40, and thought the this Just Sayin' stamp with matching framelit and sketch were perfect.

I combined papers from the recent Birthday Bash DSP and last years High Tides DSP. Since both papers included Calypso Coral, I used that color for the card base and accented it with  Night of Navy and a little Crushed Curry.

Well, I'm off to get this card in the mail so my son receives it on time! I hope you make your Wednesday great and are able to do something CRAFTY!

Hugs,

The Open Sea Waterfall Card

 

My card today is a fun, interactive card that I had never created before. I believe it has been around for at least 7 or 8 years. Gads! I need to get with it and get out of my comfort zone...

Linda over at stampingschool.com encouraged us to try one if we hadn't before. With trepidation,I took her challenge, and created this one.

Although, it took me more time to choose the stamps and colors then actually putting this card together! 

Here is a closer look at the layers:

 Linda had covered her brads with 1" circles, but since I had earmarked this card for a family members birthday, adding a 2"x4" strip across the back , and only adding sticky strip along the short sides and the bottom, I'm able to slip a check at the back.

Stay CRAFTY!

Masculine Birthday Card/ MOJO334

Sorry for getting this up late today for you

 East Coast people, but it's been a busy Monday!

I decided this morning to use the MOJO334 sketch and we were asked to do a long and skinny card. Mine was cut at 3.5x11 and scored at 5.5".

I decided to showcase the new paper I just received from Stampin' Up!, High Tide DSP 132992.

All I can say, LOVE IT! It is so colorful and such sweet images on the paper. As always, I will probably make several cards this week using it.
