Wedding Botanical Blooms

Today's card is a repeat of yesterday's card~~only in different colors and with a little Certainly Celery sponging.  This card will be going to our German friends who live in Wilhelmshaven, Germany.  We have known Thorge since he was 6 and Annika since she was about 16.  It is hard to believe that enough years have passed that they are old enough to get married!   We are unable to attend the wedding but our thoughts will be with them on their special day.  Have a great weekend and find yourself a little stampin' time!

I am showing another card I created using the Botanical Builder Framelits.  I layered the die cut flowers on Pool Party cardstock which was embossed using the Couture Creations  embossing folder, Tied Together.  The colorful flowers against Pool Party pop in a pretty way.  The stitched rectangle was created using a Lawn Fawn die; the banner created using an Banners Framelit die; and the sentiment is from the Wetlands stamp set.  As you can see, I still did not use the coordinating stamp set, Botanical Blooms!  The orange color is new Peekaboo Peach and is much prettier in person than it shows on this card.  Have a great day and find yourself a little stampin' time!

Gift of Love Hostess Set

I enjoy two-step stamping, especially with photopolymer stamps.  Being able to see right thru the stamp to line up the second stamp is much quicker than when using the Stamp-a-ma-jig.  But then I do remember singing the praises of the Stamp-a-ma-jig not all that long ago~~lol!  And if you were to make multiples of one card using this image, the MISTI would be the perfect tool for the job!   The thank you card color combination is Watermelon Wonder and Wild Wasabi.  The sentiment is also part of the Gift of Love stamp set.  The sympathy card is a combination of Crumb Cake and Tip Top Taupe.  The sentiment is from a retired Close To My Heart set, Words of Comfort.   Today's cards are simple, but elegant.  Have a great day and stay cool!

Father's Day

Over the weekend we celebrated Father's Day early as Sydney, Jen and Mark will be away on the actual day.  We had a great time and lots of fun.  Well, most of us had a lot of fun.  Poor Mark was backing up my computer and helping John with his new computer.  Today's card is one I made for Mark, my very favorite son-in-law!  The plane (which I fussy cut after stamping) is from a retired set, Sky Is The Limit.  The pattern papers are from both the current and retired Neutrals DSP stack.  After sponging Pool Party ink on white cardstock, I used a circle die and added a couple of clouds. The Pool Party Candy Dots in the upper left corner are also retired!  I will share more photos from this past weekend during the week.  Have a great day!
