Brother's Birthday

My brother Monty has a birthday that's near the 4th of July so he usually gets cards that have a similar theme and color to that holiday. I've wanted to use this stamp since I got it and it was great for him since all of our family like sunflowers!
First I used the Cuddlebug EF Birthdays to emboss the front of the card. I then cut a couple of rectangles out of some SU designer paper I had in my stash. Using my Big Shot and Nesties I cut the white circle out of Neenah Solar White and the scalloped circle from SU Old Olive CS. I stamped the image with SU Basic Black and colored the image with copic markers. I sponged around it with SU colors. I assembled and added a last minute ribbon.

Graduation Card

Graduation was just a short time ago for a lot of high school seniors.  Stampin'Up has a cute set called Go Graduate. It's so cute, just like the real thing!  And you can make it whatever colors of the school.  So easy and cute to customize to your friend!
First I cut rectangles and a circle of SU Chocolate Chip and some slightly smaller rectangles, and a slightly smaller circle of Neenah Solar White.

I stamped my image with SU Basic Black, did a bit of coloring with SU markers, adhered the rectangles and circle, tied a knot, and voila it's Go Graduate!

Rebi's Get Well

Our friend Rebi recently had some surgery so I wanted to wish her well.  I folded the SU Pumpkin Pie CS into a tent card.  I adhered Bo Bunny "It's My Party" and Daisyd's "Butterfly Stripe" DP to it. Using my Big Shot and Nestie I cut out the circle shapes of Neenah Solar White for the image and SU Daffodil for the scalloped frame.  Then I used my Martha Stewart Snail Punch which is a "stop" for the tent to keep it from sliding forward.  I stamped OCL "Sunshine Cheer" and colored with Copic Markers.
Finally, I added OCL Sugar Sparkly Fluff and Ranger Crystal Stickles.

See the Stickles and Sparkly Fluff?

Sister's Mothers Day

My sister has the most beautiful garden!  She has annuals, perennials, fountains, trelises, tubs, paths, rocks, vines, shrubs, and all other manner of beauty!  When I saw it the stamp I used for her card was calling my name!  It is "My Garden" from Great Impressions.  When I set eyes on it I knew it was for Barb!!!

Becki's Thank You

Every year around Mother's Day, my friend Becki invites my Mom and I to a Mother's Day Tea at her church.   Last year I took my Mom, my daughter-in-law and her Mom.  This year I took my Mom and my sister!  It's a great afternoon of great tea, great food, and great company!  I thought it would be a good idea to thank her with a proper card for the occasion!
I started by stamping the image by Great Impressions I purchased from my favorite shop Memories of Time on Neenah Solar White card stock. I colored with copic markers, adhered my Mary Engelbreit ribbon and voila!

Patricia's Retirement Card

OK, I know I haven't been posting at all for a very long time, but I didn't stop making cards!  I actually have quite a few to post but will start with this one because I think it's so pretty and simple and was for a wonderful occasion!

I was so excited, and yes, a bit envious, when my friend Patricia retired!  Yippee for her!   She has worked hard for many years and now is moving on to new adventures!
Of course, I made a card for her and since she and I both love flowers, I had to include one!  The bee is like she is, everywhere, doing great things!
