Number One Dad

Hey everyone! I finally made my husband a Father's Day card...on Father's Day while he was at work! Talk about last minute, haha. I am about 34 weeks pregnant now and the heat and humidity out here is starting to get to me. I spend most of my time in bed elevating my feet to try to get the swelling to go down when I want to craft, but I have to rest as much as I can. Anyway, I made this card using the current sketch from Mojo Monday, I love their blog, they give me just the inspiration I need. I thought this card was so perfect for my husband, he is a huge sports fanatic. Thanks for stopping by! <3

Here's a shot of the inside. I used my stamps from My Creative Time.

Dad's Father's Day Card

So it's been a little while since I've posted anything. I finally finished my online class and now I am taking the next semester or two off while I get ready for the baby to get here. Now that I have a little more time, I need to catch up on my cardmaking and scrapbooking! My first order of business is to finish Father's Day cards. I didn't realize how close it is to Father's Day already, how time flies! Anyway, I got this sketch from Mojo Monday. If you enter a submission by 8pm Mountain Time on Sunday, 12 June, you enter for a chance to win a set of Verve stamps! I used the Winter Wonderland cart to cut the circle and the scallop circle because I don't have these punches. Thanks for stopping by! <3

Shelli's Going Away Card

I made this card for my friend Shelli who is moving to Germany next month. I'm so jealous! She has been such a good friend and I wanted to show her how "grateful" I am to have a friend like her. I got this idea from a sketch from Mojo Monday. I used some of my Glossy Accents to make the butterfly pop a little bit. The butterfly is from the Straight from the Nest cart and is cut at 3". The shape behind it is from the same cart and cut at 4".

I used pop dots to give it a little depth. Thanks for stopping by!

Baby Shower Thank You Cards

Hello everyone! Next weekend a good friend of mine is throwing me a baby shower, she's so sweet! I decided to go ahead and get a head start on making the thank you cards. I also need to send some to family members who have already sent us some adorable baby things. I used the bedding that we are planning on buying for our little one as inspiration for these cards. The bedding is a cute jungle pattern with all of these cute jungle animals all over it. I'm pretty happy with how these turned out.

I used Pop Dots to add some dimension to the "Thank You" sentiment...

And for the animals.

And here is the sentiment on the inside of the card. Thanks for stopping by! <3

The branch is also from that cart, I forgot to write down what size I cut it at though, oops! ;) Thanks for stopping by! <3

Mother's Day Card II

This is the Mother's Day card that I made for my mom and nana. They absolutely loved this card. I wasn't sure if i loved it at first, but I think it's starting to grow on me, haha. I got the card sketch from Got Sketch again. The striped background is cut from the Storybook cart at 5". The flowers are from the Straight from the Nest cart, the stems are cut at 2 1/2" and 3", the flowers are cut at 1" and 1 1/4", and the middle of the flowers are cut at 2 1/2" and 3". I used my Glossy Accents for the middle of the flower to make it pop. The stamp is from a collection of stamps that I got from My Creative Time. Thanks for stopping by! <3
