GOD BLESS AMERICA

QUICK POST HERE, TO SHARE MY PATIOTIC FRAMED CREATION!

I GOT THIS FRAME AT A THRIFT STORE FOR $1.

IT WAS BROWN & HAD IN IT DRIED FLOWERS (UGLY!)

I PAINTED IT WHITE & SANDED IT A BIT FOR DISTRESSING.

USING MY CRICUT & THE STAND AND SALUTE CARTRIDGE,

I CUT THE PHRASE & STARS. TACKY GLUE HOLDS IT ALL IN PLACE.

THE BLUE GLITTER PAPER GIVES IT SOME BLING!

HAVE A GREAT HOLIDAY!

THANKS FOR STOPPING BY MY BLOG!

Plant Stake

It's so refreshing to break away from the norm & create something else.  Instead of a card or layout, I'm sharing with you a gift I made for my mother-in-law's birthday.

This pretty gerbera daisy was lacking style in it's black greenhouse pot.  My quick remedy was to sew a circle of Cosmo Cricket fabric & tie it up around the pot with some cut ribbon. 

The plant stake uses a kabob skewer & several Unity stamps.  The lovely scallop frame is co-branded with Webster's Pages.  The Ippity stamp is You Deserve The Best.  I stamped the frame twice & sandwiched it back to back with the stick in it.  It works good to use 3D pop dots to adhere the two shapes.

Linking up to Unity's Friends With Flair.  Go leave comments on the links there for a chance to win.

Dad's Day

Did you all have a good Father's Day?  We managed to get out on our lake & catch a few little fish.

I know showing you these cards is not exactly timely, but they're good masculine based ideas.

I used the Cricut for this duck & some photo real lake paper.

I colored in this Stampin' Up pheasant with Copics.

The next one is more sophisticated, using Graphic 45 paper.

The last card shown here is my favorite.

The stamps are Ippity.

In case you're wondering, I don't have 6 fathers!

I just keep my craft booth stocked with various holiday card options!

Hope you had a great Dad's Day with your dad or hubby!

CTMH Grad Cards

Using these cute checklist style stamps from Close To My Heart,

I created some fun graduation cards.

I used two colors of ink and it turned out great.

I have to remind myself to do that more often.

Grad Cards

I had some fun making graduation cards.

My favorites turned out to be the pink girl "shine" cards.

This uses an Ippity brand stamp set which includes lamps & these lights.

Here are some of my other cards...

"You deserve a pat on the back"

"YOU'RE THE TYPE...THAT WILL SUCCEED"

Seems like a lot of cards? 

I know, but I sell them!  Don't miss on my next post of just a few more

graduation cards.  Then I'm going to share some Father's Day cards.

Cards cards cards!
