Gears for Father's Day

The month of June is right around the corner and it is time to start making Father's Day cards.  Here is my first one using FMS #738.  

The background paper is from a Honey Bee Stamps paper pad called Pinstripes & Polka Dots: Outdoors.

I used a die by Memory Box called Ring Stack and placed on the top of it gears by Paper Rose: Cogs, making them interlocking.

The sentiment is by a Honey Bee Stamps stamp set called Hooked On You.

Gear Up

I'm playing along with The Paper Players challenge PP787 today.  I like this sketch and it came together quickly.

I was going to turn this into a Father's Day card, but this sentiment just jumped out at me.

The background paper is from Plant Lady by Echo Park.

I embossed a piece of blue cardstock with Replacements embossing folder by Couture Creations.

I added a few gears from a die set by Paper Rose called Cogs.

The sentiment is Gear Up from Honey Bee Stamps. 

Birthday Card for Mom

This card is a birthday card for my mother and not related to a sketch of any kind.  Her birthday is the 28th of this month and I wanted to do something different.  I do like the way it came out.  It got mailed a little late, but I think she will love it when she gets it. 💕

I stamped all around a piece of white cardstock using Sweet Ginkgo, a stamp set by Altenew.  I used two different types of green ink to stamp the leaves.  New Sprout and Bamboo Leaves, both by Memento.  Then I die cut Ginko leaves from a die set by Paper Rose rightly called Ginko Leaves using two different colors of green cardstock and attached them onto the white cardstock.  I backed that up with a piece of light green cardstock.

The greeting on the front is from two different Waffle Flower stamp sets.  The Happy Birthday to you is from Birthday Wishes and the word Mom is from Feather More.

                                                    

 

The inside greeting is again from two different stamp sets.  The word Mom is from an Altenew stamp set called Best Mom. The other two sentiments are from a Waffle Flower stamp set called Inside Sentiments Birthday 2.

I stamped a few Ginkgo leaves from the same Altenew stamp set onto the bottom and attached it to another piece of light green cardstock.

Loving Flamingos

Here is my take on FMS #737.

I used the background stamp by Picket Fence Studios again: Flamingo Boogie.  After I stamped it, I embossed it with Bubble Wrapping embossing folder by Sizzix.

The flamingos are from the stamp set Flirty Flamingos by PhotoPlay.  The sentiment is from the same stamp set.

Dancing Flamingos

My daughter and her husband's wedding anniversary is coming up in June, so I'm working on some card ideas and this is one of them.  

I used the sketch by TSOT #695 for this one.

I created the background with the stamp set Flamingo Boogie by Picket Fence Studios.  I stamped in teal and grape jelly by Memento.

The two flamingos and the stereo are from the stamp set by Heffy Doodle called Flock Star.

Sentiment is from Stampendous called Greetings Galore.

Blending Together

Wow! Was it hot and muggy here on Tuesday!  And it's going to be that way again on today!

I'm not ready for all this humid weather!

Nonetheless, here is a card I made for The Paper Players.  This is for challenge PP786: Food.

I created this card from an older Waffle Flower stamp set called We Blend.  I stamped, colored and die cut the images.  

I had a hard time picking out the right background paper because of the different color fruit and vegetables.  I ended up going with a beige base color and then added the borders from an Altenew paper pack called A Love For Stripes Set D.

Birthday Bows

 I decided to post another card using the FMS #736 Sketch.  This time I went with bows.

The bows are from a die set by Picket Fence Studios called A Bow for Any Reason.

The circles are Deckled Frames 2 by Waffle Flower.

Sentiment is Sweet Lattice Sentiments also by Waffle Flower.
