Floral You

I've been having lots of fun with my new Die-namics dies!  


Here's a card I whipped up today with them and the PaperTrey Ink Wonderful Words die & stamp set.   Super easy but looks so special!

Thanks for looking!

Computer Card

I love digikits!  I know I've said it before and I'll say it again!  I LOVE Digikits!  

The Hero Arts kit From the Desk Of... at 2peas is no exception!  

I love ALL of the images in this digikit.  I love the retro feel.  I love the versatility.  I love that I can use these images to make manly cards!  In fact, I used the globe to make an anniversary card for my husband and then this computer I have a few ideas for!  


Anyways, here's the father's day card that I created for my father-in-law and the CARDS blog challenge.  Pretty simple, nothing frilly.  I hope it's manly.  I think it is.  I love this patterned paper from October Afternoon.  I actually bought the paper for the reverse pattern, but I find myself pulling for this side more and more lately.

Whale Welcome Baby a Denim Cards Challenge

I've really been enjoying the CARDS Create blog challenges.  This week's challenge is denim.  

I went round and round on how to use denim in my card... At first I tried to use denim in a die- failed miserably!  Sadly, the only scrap denim I had around the house was some trouser style dressy denim... so I had to scrap that plan.  Then I decided to stamp on it.  After a few tries, here's what I came up with...
In the end, I like it way more than I thought I would.  Stitching on it was so much harder than I anticipated, so the denim panel ended up a little wacky, but I like the imperfectness (if that's a word) of it.  
 I would have loved to use my white enamel accents on the hears, but my precious 13 month old daughter had them in her hands last night and I have NO idea where they are now.   To make matters worse, I saw them in her hands when we were outside...

So Happy - The Pyrex Effect

I used the colors from Moxie Fab World's Tuesday Trigger, The Pyrex Effect and pulled in the flower print at the bottom to match the Tuesday Trigger as well.  
I created this card with PaperTrey Ink's new Wonderful Words dies & coordinating stamp set.  I love it.  LOVE it.  I can't wait to play with it some more!
 Thanks for stopping by!
