Taking Time to Craft!

This is my third posting today, but considering it is Saturday, it is catch-up day around here. I wanted to share a couple of cards with you...I hope you enjoy them.


This first card is so happy looking to me, I just love
using the  Polka-dot Basics stamp set and scalloped edging from Papertrey Ink.
The colors are from Stampin' Up! Pink Passion and Celery Green.
I added a little crystal effects, it is a clear gel to the middle of the
 flowers so they would stand out a little.

 

The background color of this card is called Razzleberry from Stampin Up!
It is very versatile, I really enjoy the contrast of the bright green with it.
I used a lot of different styles and textures this card, it was very simple to make.
I just cut some even squares of designer paper to fit the length of the card ,
 cut a couple of flowers in half for the edging,
 rolledout a die-cut frame from PTI,
then stamped out the images, tie up the ribbon
and it's done, super easy!

To complete this card I used a stamp set from Papertrey Ink (PTI) called,
It's All About You, and a PTI die called Fillable Frames #5.
The paper and ribbon are from Stampin' Up!
Razzleberry and Green Galore.



 

                                                           Little Girl "Rainbow" card.




Little Boy "Rainbow" card.

I make 12 cards, 6 female and 6 male, every year for a friend of mine

that teaches a religion class to a group of 3 year olds. 

 This group is called the "Rainbows."

Every year I try to come up with a new design.

This year I used Nestabilities Die Labels #1 for the white shape behind the rainbow.  

To create the rainbow I used my Cuttlebug to roll out circles of various Stampin' Up! colors

using the Small Pinking Circle Die for the boys 

and the Scalloped Circle Die for the girls also from Nestabilities.

I have more to share, but will post them tomorrow. I wanted to post a couple of pictures of my son, August, shooting his bow and arrow at the indoor archery club last weekend. He is looking forward to shooting outdoors this summer. Oh, to think of the warm summer sun, I can hardly wait!!!!

He is aiming at the green balloon.

Eli and August, buddies since preschool.

Great Grandpa Dube stopped by to see Auggie shoot.

Such a sweet picture!

Thanks for stopping by... have a relaxing Sunday.

God Bless,
