Hats off to you!

Hello & Happy Monday Everyone!

How was your weekend?? Did you do anything FUN?

Exciting? Relaxing? ME? YES! I did get

some wood projects completed!! Hopefully

I'll share the pictures soon with you! YAY!

I'm back with another Graduation card!

I hope you don't me sharing them...I warned you

that I made several for the Teachers at School! :)

This one is a TOTAL PINTEREST FIND!!! 

I would have brain blocks while trying to come up with

so many graduation cards

 so I went to Pinterest to refresh my mind

and came across one that was neat!

I made mine an A2 size.. I believe the one I saw was a 

square card - and mine is just a tad different....

not much because I actually liked the papers they used

which I happen to have!! :)

The Designer Paper is Doodblebug & Stampin' Up

Cardstock is Recollections, Stampin' Up, & Neenah Silver

Graduation Cap Die - Sizzix (Crazy Things)

Banner Dies - My Favorite Things

Sentiment - Jaded Blossom (Simple Sayings 3)

Stitched Rectangle Die - My Creative Time

Stitched Circle Die - Simon Says Stamp

Thanks for stopping by!!

Have a FANTASTIC DAY!!

Honeycomb rainbow...

Hello & HAPPY FRIDAY EVERYONE!

EEK! The Weekend is here!! YESSSS!!

Do you guys have big plans for the weekend??

Honestly, I don't really... I do have some 

Wood projects I want to get completed so

I can put them up around my house -

I have some Summertime pieces and

a patriotic one I want to complete...

I also have a few signs I want to make as well...

I've been putting them off too long...

So hopefully I can make a dent in some of those

projects while it's fresh in my mind!!

I thought I would switch things up a bit

and share a Birthday card I made for

another Teacher at school -

 A week or two ago I made some Rainbow card and

this happens to be one of the ones I made using my

Heidi Swapp Honeycomb Stencil & my Distress Oxides

I really like the design in landscape form... :)

I added an assortment of Rainbow Jewels from Lucy's Cards

to flow with the rainbow ink blending

The Celebrate Word die is from Stampin' Up (Cut 3x's & layered)

The Fishtail die is from My Favorite Things

The Sentiment Stamp is from My Favorite Things

I heat embossed it with some Ultra Fine White Embossing 

Powder from Simon Says Stamp

Here's the inside of my card as well... I kept the rainbow going 

along with a sweet sentiment!

-- Other Products Used --

Cardstock - Stampin' Up, Recollections, Papertrey Ink, Fun Foam

Patriotic Farmhouse...

Hello & Happy Thursday Everyone!
The Weekend is almost here! YAY!!!

 I wanted to share a "Sort of" Patriotic card I made
to send to my son--

As most of you know, I have a son in the Marines and I like
to send him cards - just to let him know I'm thinking of him -
We talk on the phone weekly when he can, but I like to
just pop cards in the mail for him and I know he 
appreciates getting them from me with just sweet
little reminders of how proud I am of him!

So I made this card to send him and to make it for
the SumMore Fun Stamps Challenge that's still going on -

I used a Star Stencil for my background and some Distress
Oxide inks in Red Brick & Mermaid Lagoon
Then I die cut it out with a Stitched Rectangle die
I added some Red Striped Washi tape and set it aside -

Then I stamped the Victorine Originals
Farmhouse Stamp on a piece of white cardstock with some 
Stampin' Up Creamy Caramel ink
I die cut it out with a Stitched Oval die
and thought the card needed a little sentiment - 

So I took another piece of White Cardstock
and used some of the Mermaid Lagoon Distress Oxide ink
and blended it until I thought it looked good -
Then I die cut a Stitched Banner die out of that colored paper
then took the (Hello) Stamp from the Flourshing Thoughts 
Raisin Boat Stamp set to give it that final touch I thought it needed -

And now it's in the mail to my Handsome Son! :)

Farm House (1959-G)

Flourishing Thoughts (10271-Z)

Red & Blue Congrats...

Hello and Happy Wednesday Crafty friends!

Wahoo! We are 1/2 way through the week already!

I'm certainly looking forward to the weekend!

I don't know about you... but the weather here is HOT already!

We've been in the 90's and my AC is working hard!

Last year, I think it was a little cooler still at this time

of year... but I guess Mother Nature is ready to get this 

party started! LOL  

As long as I stay inside, I'm a happy camper! LOL 

Summer is not my favorite season

but I do enjoy having my son home from school

so we can take day trips together or visit family

while he's off... Come August, I'm sure I'll be

happy for him to get back to a routine... But

for now... we'll just enjoy his time off! :)

I've got another graduation card to share with you

I made a Male & Female Graduation card! 

You never know which one they'll need

so I went with both and I also went with Red & Blue -

Utah's school colors are Red or Blue (mostly)

So, I thought I would stick with those colors on some

of my cards and other cards are just black/gold/white

or Black/Silver/white - since you can never be

to sure on what someone is really 

looking for in a graduation card! :)

I found the Silhouette images through Google and

traced them in my Silhouette Program

adjusted the sizes to work for my card fronts and

then cut them out. I popped them up with

some dimensionals from Stampin' Up

The Stitched Rectangle Die & Postage Stamp Frame Die 

are from My Creative Time 

Cardstock is Recollections 110lb Black & White

The (Congrats) word Die is from My Craft Spot (No Longer in Business)

I cut them out 3 x's each in Silver Neenah Cardstock with some

Stick it adhesive on the back side

The Designer Paper is some old Stampin' Up 6x6 pad I had

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Have a FABULOUS DAY!!

Quick Graduation Card -

Hello & Happy Tuesday Everyone!

It's another busy week - so I'll make

this post-Short & Sweet!! (Or I hope too anyway)

I've got another Graduation card to share -

This was a pretty quick CAS card to make!

I found the Graduation file in the Silhouette Store (#134846)

and I knew I wanted to make it the front of my card

I also went with the school colors in Red & Black - I added some

Clear Wink of Stella on the Grad Hats and added

some Ice Cube Jewels from Lucy's Cards to give this card

a more Feminine touch - I made 2 of them 

One for a Male & this one for a female -

The Sentiment was Heat Embossed in Ultra Fine White 

Embossing Powder from Simon Says Stamp

The Sentiment is from PaperTrey Ink

The Stitched Rectangle is from My Creative Time

*** Other Products Used ***

Cardstock - Recollections, Stampin' Up, American Crafts

Silhouette Machine, Gemini Jr., Heat Tool, Multi Matte Medium,

Fun Foam, ATG Adhesive, ThermOWeb Adhesive, Embossing Buddy,

& The Misti

Have a Wonderfully AWESOME DAY!!!

The Future Starts here...

Hello and Happy Monday Crafty Friends!

How was your Mother's Day Weekend???

Mine was really nice and quite just like I like it! LOL

Hubby took me out for lunch on Saturday to avoid

the crazy crowds on Sunday and I made a bunch more

Graduation cards... 

Have any of you felt like you made too many cards

at once and then didn't know what to make afterward?

That was/is me right now... UGH! I spent one weekend

making a bunch of Design Team cards, then 

the following weekend I made a bunch of Graduation cards, 

then again the next weekend making more graduation cards!

I ended up at one point CASING myself again... cause I 

didn't know what to do... Sometimes it just flows... 

and sometimes I get drained and come up with nothing...

I'm just glad I got the graduation cards done...

I'm NOT making any more this year unless I

absolutely have too! Ya know what I mean? (Wink Wink)

Well... We got about 1 1/2 weeks left of school

over here... This week is a Full week and next week

is a short week with short hours... Today's the

School's Annual Carnival so I'll be going to work

late tonight! Not my favorite thing to do... But

someone has to clean up the big mess they

leave behind! hahaha 

My son said he'd come with me tonight to

help clean up around the school... He's

such a good kid... Sometimes I just can't

believe he's my son! LOL

Anyway... enough of my silly rambling...

Here's a Graduation card that I made

for some of the Teachers at school - They're the

ones who requested I make the graduation cards

for them and I'm happy to do it --

I used the Simple Stories Rad Grad Collection -
Cardstock is Recollections 110lb Black, Bazzill, DCWV Shimmer Gold
I used my Sheer Shimmer Sparkle Spray on the Stars & Diploma
Assorted Rectangle Stitched dies are from My Creative Time

Thanks for stopping by!
Have a FANTASTIC DAY!!
