Monochromatic Lighthouse

Oh I LOVE this card!!

Lighthouses are just the perfect thing for a masculine card!

And Pacific Point is just the color to set this card off! I used a wide striped ribbon to go diagonally across card which really adds to the nautical theme.

I embossed the white background with the stripes folder. Wow!!! This a really cool card... Even if I do say so myself!!

Have a lovely day!!

The Masculine Best

Sometimes masculine cards are hard to one up with. That's why I try to do several every month in card class! Really ANY card can be switched to masculine by just changing the colors & images!

This one actually was flower stamps & feminine colors but see how GOOD it looks in masculine colors? Also the black circles were scallop circle on the original.  

I used 1 3/8" circle punch & 1 1/4" circle punch. The argyle embossing folder makes an awesome manly background!

Happy stamping!!

Thank you Balloons

Balloons are just summer, huh? So here's another balloon card. A great way to use your DSPs. 

Just cut your balloons out of DSP using the balloon thinlits & overlap them on your card. I used the colored twine for balloon strings & frayed the ends. 

Isn't it cute? 

Monochromatic Bugs & Kisses

Here's a cute kids card for either bit or girl..... Providing that girl loves bugs!!

"Bugs & Kisses" is a discontinued stamp set but this card can be changed up to put a flower, cup cake, leaf, boot.... Or whatever in the cutout circle. I used the 2" circle punch them stamped the grasshopper while holding the card closed. 

Add the greeting using the oval punches. Then I stamped ants matching along inside the card.

Blue & Yellow Birthday Wishes

I have always loved blue & yellow together!

Here's a perfect card for those two colors. 

So Saffron & Night of Navy are what I used here. I embossed with the pansy folder & added some butterflies from the Beautiful Wings Sizzlets die. 

So sweet & simple!! 

Happy Independence Day!!!

Hope you have fun, safe 4th!!

Don't forget the REASON behind this day!!

Sweet William

Can you tell that Willie loves his little water trough? It's been so very hot here lately & he loves to play & wrestle with Hank (the Cowdog) then go get in his "pool"! He's the sweetest puppy EVER!!

Ahhhhhh!!!
