Elvis Presley Birthday

  I hope everyone has enjoyed a relaxing Memorial Day weekend.  Thank you to all who have served or with family that are in the military.   I'm pulling out an older wood block stamp from Cornish Heritage Farms.  CHF had the licensing for the Elvis Presley stamp series in the 1990's.  Sadly, they are no longer in business.  One of so many family owned stamp companies have closed for personal or business reasons over the years. The image was stamped with Versa Clair Nocturne ink then die cut with Spellbinder Wonky Rectangles.  Panels have been matted with Stampin' Up! Taken with Teal cardstock and embellished with SU blue gems.  The base panel was embossed with a Cuttlebug numbers folder.  A gelli print panel from my stash adds to the 70's vibe.  A birthday tab from MemoryboxCo finishes the card. I would like to share my card with the following: Time Out Challenge:  #313 Playing Music Allsorts Challenge: #850 Anything Goes Paper ...

Angie Blom - Enjoy Your New Adventure

  My niece will be turning 16 this week.  Where does the time go??  Once she gets her license she will be driving a Jeep.  So, Angie Blom's Enjoy Your New Adventure digital set was perfect for her card.  I hope she likes it! The scene was colored with Copic Markers and die cut with Scrappy Boys Stitched Scallop Dies.  It has been layered onto Stampin' Up Basic Grey and Co'ordinations plaid.  I used Art Impressions number dies and glitter paper from my stash.

Art Impressions - Mix & Match Challenge

  Do you like to cruise?!  I'm joining the current Mix & Match challenge (use at least 2 products) at Art Impressions with a fun summer themed tag.  I started by coloring and fussy cutting an image from AI Pack Your Bags set (retired).  Hero Arts tag dies were used with the AI Cruise paper pad . A few colored gems, baker's twine and coordinating sentiment finish the card.

Monochromatic Hello

  Good morning!  I'm sharing a group of monochromatic designs that will be going out to the Send Senior Citizens Love card drive hosted by Splitcoast Stampers .   I was touched after reading Ashley Lynch's story and how she began the program during the pandemic and lockdown of so many nursing homes.  She began sending notes of encouragement personally which is now a nationwide mission. This group of cards began with my large stack of paper scraps.  All papers are from Stampin' Up! Flirty Flamingo and Peach Parfait. The word dies are Spellbinder  Hello Smile.  Cuttlebug embossing folders were used for the base panel.  A little thread and gems from my stash finish the cards.
