Happy Father's Day to all of the Dads out there!  What would we do without Dads?!  I know mine has helped us out a bunch!  The top card is for my Dad he enjoys airplanes.  The bottom card is for my husband's Dad, he enjoys fishing.  I used this tutorial to make the background for this card.  This is such uncharted territory for me, I was really stepping out of the box!  It took me a few tries...four...to get it to my liking. 
 
Thanks for stopping by!

Quilt Pattern Inspiration

Supplies: Stamps: Teeny Tiny Wishes Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black  Paper: White, Doodlebug 6x6 paper pad Accessories: Honeycomb embossing folder, Modern Label Punch, Word Window Punch
 
Hello!  I decided to tear apart and organize my basement...  Whoa, I didn't realize what I was getting into.  Bags of garbage, a counter full of items for the Goodwill, and a week later I am just about done!  I was enjoying some time out of the basement on Pinterest and my Aunt had pinned a quilt pattern using hexagons to make a butterfly.  So the cardmaker in me said, I could do that on a card!  It took some figuring out because of the way the embossing folder is, but I got it eventually.  I drew on some antennas and added a sentiment to complete the card.  I might just have to send this to her!

Hello!

Supplies: Paper: Papercut: cream, Crumb Cake, Basic Grey 6x6 Hey Girl!  Accessories: Silhouette Image: Lori Whitlock Quote Bubble, dimensionals
 
I have been wanting to make a card, and yesterday I organized my space so I have a table top again.  This made it a lot easier to make a card!  I saw this card sketch, and went from there.  I hopped onto the Silhouette Design Studio and created the card front.  I only cut out three of the circles from the card front, and then popped that piece up for dimension.  I cut out some circles from coordinating papers, then I was trying to decide what to do for the sentiment.  I have been seeing conversation bubbles on a lot of cards lately so off to the online Silhouette store I went.  I found this cut file.  I popped this up on the card too. 
 
I never would have come up with this on my own, thank goodness for card sketches!

Scalloped Hexagons, Oh My!

Supplies: Stamps: Hero Arts  Paper: Papercut Whip Cream, blue cardstock from Hobby Lobby, Basic Grey patterned paper pack 6x6 Hey Girl  Accessories: Silhouette Cameo hexagon cut file, ribbon
 
Hello Stampers!  School is out for summer, and I have a ton of stuff to catch up on.  But I hope to get some stamping time in, in between projects.  Today I snuck in some time.  I was shopping yesterday and saw a neat die cut that cut out hexagons individually and connected.  It was really neat, I thought I could make that on my Silhouette!  So I purchased Scallop Hexagon Nested Shapes, from the Silhouette online store and got to work.  I scaled it down, connected, and welded, and presto I had the concept of the die I saw yesterday with the bonus scalloped hexagon for 99 cents!  I cut out my pieces and threw together a quick card.
 
Thanks for stopping by!

Anniversary Wishes

Supplies: Stamps: Teeny Tiny Wishes  Paper: Pear Pizzazz, Basic Grey Hey Girl!, Ivory cardstock  Ink: Pear Pizzazz  Accessories: word window punch, SU flower garden textured impression folder, EK Success Scallop dotted ribbon 2 in 1 punch, pearls
Here is another card inspired by the Clean and Simple Sketch 235.  I rotated the orientation of the sketch so I could use the full embossed flower image.  I inked up my embossing folder before running it through the Big Shot.  Then I sponged the edges with pear pizzazz.  I have to say I am pretty excited that SU is bringing this color back.  I love it!  Thanks for stopping by!
