ENDLESS BIRTHDAY WISHES ..HURRY BEFORE IT IS GONE!!

HEY BLOGGIES,

Endless Birthday Wishes is retiring this month, but it is a stamp set bargain I believe.  This photopolymer set includes 19 stamps and is so versatile.

 First up we have a card I made back when I first purchased this fun set.  I love the colors I used and think it looks very pretty together.

The bitty banner punch was used to make the two cute banners along with the little star punch.

Next we have 4 simple but beautiful cards I made this afternoon while watching the Kentucky Derby on Television.  My living room is a mess because I had to bring ALL my goodies out to the coffee table so I could watch the race.  But I am so pleased with the cards that I am no even concerned that I have to clean up now!!  LOL

I used three colors that go with the Bohemian DSP:  Hello Honey, Bermuda Bay and Blackberry Bliss.  The DSP is retiring as well and as of today it is still available if you want to purchase some before it is all gone. Enjoy:

Thanks for visiting me.  If you are looking for a versatile set that you can use A LOT, this is the set, I promise.  Even though I only used 3 or 4 stamps of the 16 stamps, that doesn't mean the other stamps aren't wonderful as well!!  So many verses, words and ideas included with this stamp set.  GET YOURS NOW BEFORE THEY ARE ALL GONE.  You will be GLAD you did!!

GATE FOLD BIRTHDAY CARD

HEY BLOGGIES,

Whew, we are just trying now to dry up and blow away here in central Texas.  It has been 100* here this week and is not going away any time soon.  We are putting out a sprinkler for our horses each afternoon to give them a chance to cool off if they want to.  Several days they chose to let it get them wet and today they chose not to.  But at least it is there if they need it.  AND it waters the grass at the same time.

I told my hubby that it is too hot.  How hot is it?  I said it is so hot that the boys (my male horses) are too hot to try to be naughty!!  hee hee  Being naughty is my interpretation when they are bored and start looking for something to get into that they should NOT be into - like my canna plants or my pear tree.  Evidently those taste very good when you are feeling frisky!

Anyways, on to my card for this week.  I have made a gate fold birthday card using Sprinkles of Life and Bohemian DSP.

My gate fold card has two overlapping pieces.  The cupcake is adhered on the left and the sentiment is adhered on the right.   Coastal cabana card stock is one of the colors that coordinates with our Bohemian DSP.  I used white and coastal cabana as the two coordinating colors of the patterned paper I chose from this pack.

 A closeup of my stamped images layered with coastal cabana cs and decorative label punch or circle punches.  I fussy cut the cupcake pieces. Cherry red square sequins adorn the sentiment piece.

The cherry on top with the small square sequin is covered with glossy accents.

BOHEMIAN PATTERNED PAPER AND A DRAGONFLY

HEY BLOGGIES,

Today I have a card that made me stretch out of my norm.  It is a very simple card, just not the kind of card I usually make.  I used the sketch from SKETCH FRENZY FRIDAY to create my card.  Here it is:

The strips are what was so hard for me because it is not something I would usually do.  But that is what's so fun about sketch challenges, isn't it?  To try something new.  I am so glad I did this card from the sketch.

The adorable dragonfly silver charm on the blackboard tag is my favorite thing on this card.  I was going to stamp the dragonfly from the Awesomely Artistic, but one of my team mates already did that so I had to change midstream to something different.  I still went with the dragonfly, but did a silver charm attached to a blackboard tag instead.  How is that for AWESOMELY ARTISTIC!!

BOHEMIAN BORDERS SYMPATHY CARD

HEY BLOGGIES,

Hope you are all doing well.  We have some joy in our family this week:  our 8th Grandchild was born this week!!  A sweet tiny little boy named Levi.  How such a tiny thing can wiggle into your heart so quickly is a mystery.  But I feel such love for him already!!

Today I have an idea for a different way to use Bohemian Borders stamp set.  I made it into a flower-type of shape.  Enjoy:

There was a death in the family this week so I made this sympathy for the son of the deceased.  I feel like the colors make it a good card for a man.  But mostly it will be the letter I will write inside that will be the most important part of this card.

The very small layers behind the stamped layer is from the Bohemian DSP.  The sentiment is from Teeny Tiny Wishes.

I am entering this at Sketch Frenzy Friday.  Thanks for stopping by.
