Celebrate!

Hi everyone! 

Today, I was in my scrap room and decided to make a card for my Aunt's Birthday that is on the 4th of July! It is also  my favorite holiday of the year! This year we will once again be in Chicago enjoying the lake front and family. The sketch was inspired from Mojo Monday #498 this week. 

The stamped balloon I bought a while back and I just stamped the sentiment in red ink and then embossed it with clear embossing powder. The amazing papers are from Doodlebug called "patriotic parade" The stars are from Cheery Lynn Designs called "pierced stars" 

I added some rhinestone bling and a few sequins.....

The awesome sketch! Thx! 

Have a great day and weekend!

Three Cheers To the Red, White and Blue!

Hi Happy Father's Day  to all you dad's out there! Welcome to the Summer Coffee Blog Hop! 

I somehow missed the first day, but this morning I was able to put together this card using the beautiful digi "Three Cheers" stamps from Verve! Thank you so much Julee! 

I love the 4th of July! It is my favorite holiday of the year and the combination of the adorable patriotic coffee cups, sentiment and the fabulous "coffee"die cut ( I already owned)  it came together quickly! 

The card is based off a sketch from My Favorite Things #285 The DT had a n amazing fringe die cut that is now on my wish list! Meanwhile, I used the striped red and white paper to follow my theme. I added some bling for the feeling of fireworks....and a little glitter to the top of the coffee cups.

Here are the coffee cups...mine are printed at .8 x 1.5 inches, then colored with copic markers. 

Here is the free digi "Three Cheers" from Verve...until June 30, 2016. Than you again!

Time To Celebrate with Mojo Monday

Hi Happy Sunday! 

I hope you are having a wonderful weekend. My daughter came home this past Wednesday and we have been spending a lot of time together. So I haven't had much time to craft. However, this morning I squeezed in this fun card using this week's Mojo Monday #450 sketch. 

I love the 4th of July! So this sketch I had to use my favorite patriotic colors. These papers are from Graphic 45 called Mother Goose. I recently acquired these from my local scrapbooking convention. It was part of a goodie bag that had lots of great crafting products. 

The stamped sentiment is from Verve Stamps called Big Wish. The Pierced Stars are from Cheery Lynn Designs.  Along the edge I used a Martha  Stewart Punch. 

I added a few pop dots behind the flag, stars and sentiment. Can you believe no ribbon or flowers? 

Whoa!!! lol

Here is the great sketch! Thank you! 

Have a great week! 

Thanks for stopping by today!

Thank You for your Service With Cheery Lynn Designs

Hello! 

Today, I'm sharing with you a fun patriotic card inspired by the homecoming of my nephew from Iraq. He was stationed there for 9 months and I'm so glad he is back safely in the United States with his family. I wanted to make this card clean and simple for you to send to your loved ones or just a thank you to all the men and women fighting for our freedom. 

There are only 2 dies used and it only takes minutes to make. I used the largest "banner" in blue and then die cut out 5 of the smallest "banners" in red. The card is 5 x 6 and I distressed another piece of white cardstock at 4.5 x 5.5 inches.  There are pop dots behind the distressed piece of cardstock but you can place it flat too. The sentiment was printed on the computer. I just fussy cut the flag ends. It is an Army font, since that is my nephew's branch of service. 

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you enjoyed!

This Hope... With Cheery Lynn Designs

Hi everyone! Are you ready for a new card inspired by this week's challenge with Cheery Lynn Designs? This week's challenge Red White and Blue is right up my favorite upcoming holiday, The Fourth of July! You may have noticed that I'm still on beach mode and well I suppose nautical is close enough. LOL This card can be used for that favorite man in your life too! 

This shaker card was super fast to make today! The papers did most of the work for me. I added 2 "ship's anchors" and "wave border" to the bottom half of the card. The chain on the anchor I colored with a white signo pen. 

The shaker in the center was cut using "circle silver stackers" I used the 2nd and 3rd smallest. together for the top and again with white foam. I then used the 3rd largest "circle" in acetate and white cardstock for the background with sentiment. Layer them together and I added some red beads, but you can add whatever you want in your center for the shaker part. Last but not least,  I added silver stickers on the top of the circle to give it the appearance of a window on a ship. 

Hope you enjoyed!

Sweet Birthday Wishes on the 4th of July!

Hi! 

Happy 4th of July! 

So this is my favorite holiday of the whole year! 

Today I'm sharing a new card made for my aunt for her birthday which is today! 

I wanted to keep the theme of the 4th and yet make it beautiful by adding pearls, flowers and a resin birthday cake by Melissa Francis. This card was also inspired by this week's Mojo Monday # 404. 

The papers are from DCWV and the flowers are all recollections. The pearl swirl is from Zva and the rest of the pearls are from recollections. 

I used a spellbinders splendid circle and the stamps are part of a cupcake pack. 

Here is the great sketch! Thank you!

You Sparkle So Much With Cheery Lynn Designs

Hi everyone!

Lisa back today. sharing a new card for Cheery Lynn Designs. It was inspired by this week's "Red, White, & Blue" challenge. The Fourth of July is my favorite holiday of the year! So I had to use all the fun diecuts and embossed plate I could get my hands on for this one card! :)

The card is 5x6 inches. I usually dont make this card on the side but I new that I had to show off the beautiful Patriot Swag on the perfect Victorian Picket Fence. 

I used two pieces of Curved Border Set to make the border on top. For the sentiment, I used three different fonts and printed it on cardstock. Then I diecut it with Pierced Stacker #4 and added 100 Stars of the sides. Party Balloons in the two smallest sizes in different patterned paper are in the background and I added embroidery floss for the strings on the balloons. Last but not least, I diecut the Chrysanthemum Strip, added a bit of shine with a jelly roll pen and final touch up with cream pearls in the centers to represent fireworks. 

The inside for writing your personal message I used the USA/Canada Embossing Plate. 

It was the perfect size for my card!

Proud To Be An American!

This past weekend, I was thinking about the sad losses and the horrible tragedy of the Boston Marathon Runners, friends and family. It is still a shocking story to so many of us. It then reminded me of how strong our nation can come to together after even a horrific event. I was thinking of making a card for the Fourth of July soon. Not only is it my favorite Holiday but I wanted to remember all the men and women who fight for our country to keep it free. I then remembered the song by Lee Greenwood "Proud To Be An American". The song goes straight to my heart and always brings tears to my eyes. I once even seen the dancing fountains at the Bellagio, Las vegas...dance to this song. It was so beautiful and it will always touch me so very deeply. So this is a card to tribute to the friends, family and love ones in the Boston Marathon and to salute all the men and women who fight for us.

 Thank You from the bottom of my heart!

This is a funky folded card that was designed by Cheryl. I haven't made one in a while and I really love how fast and easy it really is to make. I used lots of bling and spellbinders diecuts. The little stars I cut out twice and glued a piece of wire in between to hold them up. I then glittered them with fairy dust glitter by Donna Salazar. The papers are all from K & Company and I made more little Bitty Blossoms with the same paper line. 

I even did the inside to match the outside with even more bling. This card really shines! 

God Bless All of Us! 

I'm so Proud To Be An American! 

See you soon...
