I had fun creating a few cards with images from Di’s Digis and humorous sentiments. The two bunny friends on this first card are so cute! is first one is so cute.  And the treats on that good tray are almost driving me to make an unplanned run to the bakery down the block. Their scones, which are super yummy, are calling to me!

Park Hopping-My Happy Place (July) 

I had such fun creating this cocktail using one of my favorite digis from Andrea at Sheepski Designs. I’m working on cards to add to wedding gift bags that will hold 20-30 cards in a wide range of themes. This one fits into the “looks delicious” theme, right? It took a little time to make and required lots of layers, but I do like the way it turned out!

Supplies: 

·   Digi- Sheepski Designs (Birthday Cocktail)

·   Colored with Spectrum Noir Classique markers and Sakura Gelly Roll white gel pen

·   Auld Lang Syne sheet music (version I used is no longer available. But here is a freebie that I like even better!)

·   Front Sentiment “Cheers”- label from my scrapbook stash)

·   Inside Sentiment- “Happy New Year” From Lili of the Valley Digi Set (Christmas Wishes)

·   Stickles- Diamonds

I took vacation leave this whole week and have been working on cleaning and organizing my craft room. It is slow going because I need to stop every so often and play with the items that I forgot I had… or haven’t been able to find for a while! I knew I wanted to make an elegant Christmas card for the current “Heat Embossing” challenge at Christmas Craft Creations. I dug through my dusty collection of rubber stamps from a few decades ago… and found this treasure from a long-retired SU set! A few nearly prehistoric items from my stash finished off the cards. I realized that I didn’t add inside sentiments, so will do that before I slip them into the assortments in my wedding gift bags! 

Supplies: 

·   Stamped Images- Stampin’ Up! (retired)

·   Gold Pigment Embossing pad with glittery gold powder

·   Upcycled gift wrap, specialty cardstock, mulberry paper, and other items from my stash.
