SIMON SAYS STAMP JUNE CARD KIT - YOU MAKE ME SMILE CARD

HEY BLOGGIES,

I designed this card myself with the items from the June Card Kit, as well as using some cloud dies and stamps from Stamps of Life.

 The Smile die is so much fun.  I love that they included this die in the kit.  The washi tape was also included in the kit.

I love the adorable little smiling sun puffy sticker.  It is so much.

I used a die from SU for the top of the sky, as well as soft sky ink.  And I used some wonderful moonstone drops underneath the clouds, unknown maker.

I am entering this card in the FRIDAY MASHUP! challenge this week - SUNSHINE.

Hope you enjoyed my card.  If you have any questions, please let me know.

HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY AMERICA

HEY BLOGGIES,

Happy Independence Day to all and a great big THANK YOU to all our veterans who have helped keep our land free.

Today I have a fun interlocking star card with a July 4th color theme.  I had this card in my mind for a while when I saw one with circles, but I wanted to try it with star framelits instead.  Tell me what you think, won't you?

 Cherry cobbler, night of navy and smokey slate card stock was used.  I used the Star Framelits to cut out the stars and adhered them on the side fold card to have them interlock as the way to close the card.

 Here it is completely closed so you can see how the stars fit together.  The sentiment banner uses Pewter embossing powder and the sentiment is from the Kinda Eclectic stamp set.  The little die cut is from a package I got from Michaels last year after the holiday was over.

 I used a French translation stamp set of Lots of Thanks and pewter embossing powder again for the inside of my card.  I used the inside piece of the interlocking star and adhered it where the two fit together if that right flap is closed into the inside.

One more look at the closed card.  The little polka dot flower is from the Festival of Trees paper pad from the holidays. Oh, and the border punch is retired but I still love it!!

Thanks for stopping by.  Stop at Sketch Frenzy Friday to see more cards with this week's sketch.

I also entered this at The Friday Mashup - use 3 elements.  Go see what else go entered there as well.

SKETCH FRENZY FRIDAY CARD WITH MY BIG SHOT

HEY BLOGGIES,

I still have a special love for my BIG SHOT.  And now that there are so many word dies out there I am falling in love all over again with it!!

Today I have a simple but beautiful card following this SKETCH FRENZY FRIDAY CHALLENGE:

And here is my card that just happens to NOT have any stamping on it!!  That doesn't happen very often, but this time it did and it is still a beautiful card because of my BIG SHOT.

I used clear plastic thread to hang the purchased die cut butterfly in the center of the die cut oval hole.  I used the oval framelets for the smaller hole and the Oval Scallop Frame that is retired for the larger hole and scallop edge.  I love how it came out and hope you do too.  Always is a small framelit word on a line die.

Make sure you stop by to see what all the design team have made for you.  Then create your own card and upload it so we can see your creation, ok?

I am also entering this card at Friday Mashup using their sketch:
