Another Set of Three Plus Two

We had to be out and about early yesterday, so posting today.  I was on a roll making cards for Cards For Soldiers.  Even though the three similar cards are simple, they are still cute enough for someone to happily receive.  They are short and to the point with the inside remaining blank for personal notes.

The little patriotic bird paper was so cute, that I decided to make a couple more cards for our military.  I think they are adorable!

Supplies:
Stampin' Up:  White, Tip Top Taupe and Real Red cardstock; Taupe and Calypso Coral DSP
Pretty Pink Posh:  Thoughtful Greetings,  Everyday Greetings and Happy Mail stamp sets
Doodlebugs:  Land That I Love paper
Miscellaneous: Punches; rhinestones

Have a great day!

Making Triples

The weekend went too quickly and it was a good weekend!  Last week I was making cards for Sydney to take to camp.  She will be there for a month and she will be there for her 16th birthday.  Now that she is older, just said she didn't really need a card everyday, so I only made four, one for each week.  So I used that unused time to make triples of cards for Cards For Soldiers.  They were quick and easy.

Supplies:
Stampin' Up:  Real Read, Tip Top Taupe and White cardstock; Tip Top Taupe designer paper
Doodlebug Designs:  Land That I Love pattern paper; Easter pattern paper
Pretty Pink Posh:  Everyday Greetings; Happy Mail
Miscellaneous:  Variety of framelits

Have a great day and keep cool!

For Kids

In keeping with sending a variety of cards to the Cards For Soldiers organization, I created today's adorable cards for our military to send to the children in their lives.  The background on the mermaid card was created using a new embossing folder from Stampin' Up.  I think it is one of the best embossing folders I have.  The rhinestones, also Stampin' Up, were colored with alcohol markers.

Supplies:

Stampin' Up:  White and Bashful Blue cardstock; Seabed 3D embossing folder;

My Favorite Things:  Mermazing and Penguins in Paradise stamp sets; Wonky Stitched Circle dies
Pretty Pink Posh:  Thoughtful Greetings stamp set
Copic markers

Happy 4th of July!  Have a great weekend!

One Pretty/One Cute

I have two cards to post today.  The first is the birthday card I received on Monday from my friend, Cherie.  There is so much detail, starting with the stamped images, die cuts, coloring, embossing and ending with the little rhinestones on the blue flowers.  Cherie used SU"s Grace's Garden stamp set and matching dies and I think it is the Brick & Mortar 3D embossing folder.  Thank you to another of my talented friends for such a beautiful card!

And now I have my card for today~~this cute ladybug card to go to Cards For Soldiers.  It is cute and fun and easy to color.  The images were colored with alcohol markers.  The circle and the edges of the polka dot paper were all sponged with black ink.

Supplies:
Stampin' Up:  Little Ladybug stamp set,  stitched circle dies and Whisper White thick cardstock
Recollections:  Polka Dot paper

Have a great day and keep cool!
