Just add a bit of sparkle and shine

I made this card awhile while playing

with a new (to me) TH Die that as you can see

was a mighty fine price.

I also have to admit this layered dies completely

baffle me.

Jigsaw puzzles are not my thing.

However, 

I did love it.

But then, boredom set in.

and wa-la

Sticles and Nuvo to the rescue.

The background is a Sissix die.

 

Father's Day Card

Of course using Tim Holtz stamps.

Love this set and I don't use it as often as I should.

Made a background on some watercolor paper, outlining in black ink.

I stamped the card with the clock and then decided

it was a tad busy so I used some of Tim's paper

to bring it down a tad.

The vehicles in the stamps I find tough getting

a good stamp and I finally worked it out

by using those sticky back foam to stamp on.

Using a brayer helped too.

And then the fussy cut the rest.

Love this sentiment and used that because

the other Father's day sentiment is

on the front of the card.

I only hope I remembered to sign the card.

 

St. Patrick's Day cards for the grands

Did them mostly alike because I really don't have

enough St. Patty's day stuff for 10 different cards and 

I kinda of enjoy making them alike yet somewhat different.

😂

Used some tissue paper in the background and I really

like the scrunch - gives it some texture.

I used the Tim Holtz 3D die cut for the clover and it

also has the heart on it too, sooooo might

as well get a 2-fer. 😊

I got to  make them pretty, although the look pretty in white.

I used oxides for the clover; rustic wilderness and fossilized amber.

It didn't quite turn out how I envisioned but it works.

That rainbow die cut is Sissix.

It's a really cute set I use quite a bit.

Itty bitty hearts and stars from a Tim Holtz thinlits hearts

and quickutz for the stars.

The inside Happy St. Patrick's Day is stamped in

green along with a few stamped clovers.

 

Congratulations - A wedding card

Again, thanks to my pal Holli who let

me stamp, watercolor and fussy cut out

this really neat lady with a hat.

My friend, who recently married, after being

together for a long time.

Tied the knot.

 Used some watercolors in the background and

she just happens like purple.

The inside.
