Happy Sunday. I had a super crafty weekend. Here are my cards... First up is a card inspired by this lovely sample from Muse #269 created by Anita.
I was inspired by the sponged blue background, the white die cut border and the pop of color.
I was focused on Father's Day cards this weekend, as I realized that some of them need to be mailed on Monday. I pulled out a very old (5 years or more, perhaps) stamp set PTI Polka Dot Parade #3 and was able to make 3 cards with this little $5 mini set.
I'm entering this first card at Retro Rubber #88.
This card is based on a card I saw online when I Googled the stamp set, but I could not find who made the original. I am entering it at Addicted to CAS #138: Rainbow.
My next Father's Day card is inspired by the sketch at CAS(E) this Sketch #275. I used some Lawn Fawn patterned paper and a 'dad' die from Lil Inker.
Last up for Father's Day is a card I CASEd from Kara Lynne. I loved how she used speech bubbles for her sentiment with her crowd of puppies. I am entering this card at CAS-ual Fridays #201: Boys of Summer. Dad's are boys, and Father's Day is in the summer, right?
Last up is a fun birthday card for a young boy. I am entering it at Poppystamps #45: For the Boys and The Male Room #87: Little Boys. I used the Pond Frogs dies from Poppystamps die cut in various colors, and paired them with an old sentiment from PTI Frog Hop.
Thanks for Visiting
I spy, with my little eye, my most favorite frogs who haven't had the least bit of attention in my craft room in far too long - I'd better get a jump on it, right?

Wonderful cards as always Joyce! I'm smitten with the one with the colorful frogs! Brilliant!
ReplyDeleteI love the frogs all over the card, so fun!
ReplyDeleteBy the time I get down to the end of the comments I have such short term memory problems I cant remember everything I wanted to say about each card. BUT I know they were all bloody brilliant and I wish I had that TV stamp, the the recliner stamp and the frogs and dogs and scene die cuts cause they all look so amazing. You rock it out every week I love how you do this.
