July 4th card for the grands

Cardstock, a die, a stamp and a stencil

with some inks of course.

It was fun to do.

I whacked all the nesting stars and glued

them together.

As I was doing that I remembered I had a

"firework" stencil that would be

a great background for the star.

Since the background was white, I used blue jeans

and fired brick (distress inks).

WELL,

I didn't wait until the ink was dry and I got purple.

I like purple. It's flashy,

Sissix die, TH sentiment unknown stencil.

 

Birthday card for the granddaughter

This is a very cool sissix die that I picked up

for really cheap from a HL in NY.

Sadly, I didn't know Hobby Lobby got rid of all their dies.

Anyway, this is a cute die that

can be rearranged but I mostly did the example

on the front.

Used some really old Nicole 6x6 pad paper and

the rays worked perfectly.

Oh and don't get me started on the window.

You have to cut the die twice to get the 2 different colors,

BUT WHAT THEY WANT YOU TO DO

Is take those itty bitty pieces on the window and glue them on

the background.

WELL.

After an inderminate amount of time I called FOUL

and did the opposite.

I took the FRAME and cut it down for the backside of

the shape and wa-la

NOT SCREWING WITH ITTY BITTY PIECES THAT

I'LL NEVER LINE UP IN ANY LIFETIME.

🤣

The inside I actually used the stencil 

for the background using wilted violet distress ink.

And the wild looking hearts are made from ink leftovers 

stamped on white paper randomly.

Love them.

 

Father's Day card

I've been wanting this guy for a long time and

Joann's had a stencil die cut package

that had to be purchased.

Actually I dithered about it.

Just using some manly colored cardstock and distress ink-walnut

for the stencil and mussing up the gears.

For some reason I made the dude's hair with aged

mahogany - TH distress crayons.

(love them).

The inside with some more gears and a sentiment.

Got it in the mail but its probably gonna be late.

Sadly.

I am sooooo bad with dates.
