Hello and happy Sunday. My first card is inspired by the sketch at MFT Sketches #500 and features images from Sunny Vibes, my latest favorite set. I am also entering this card at AAA Cards #171: Along the Edge + Beach.
I really liked this week's MFT Sketches #500, so I used it also on my second card. This card features this adorable Giraffe and his punny birthday sentiment. I am also entering this card at Seize the Birthday #196: no topping.
Next up is a card inspired by the sketch at CAS(E) this Sketch #383. I used Avery Elle Beside the Sea stamps for this card. I fell in love with those little beach cabanas, as they reminded me of where I used to swim with my family when I was a kid. I made my beach using Copics free hand, and stenciled the clouds. My three elements, in case it is not obvious from the card are the sun, the bird, and the pail.
Back to the beach with Hero Arts. I created a surfing scene with a girl (not me!) and a dog surfing (not my dog). Before you laugh too hard, I must tell you that I live in a beach town north of San Diego, and there are dog surfing competitions every summer at my beach. I am entering this card at The Male Room #140: Sport and The Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers #165: D is for Dog.
Next up is the card I made at Summer School with MFT, where the first lesson is Visual Triangle. I am also entering this card at Just Us Girls #547: Travel (by car) and Seize the Birthday #196: no topping.
Last up for today is a wedding card, although I think it could also be used as an anniversary card. Either way, it works for The Paper Players #502: Wedding/Anniversary. I am also entering this card at A Blog Named Hero July: Embossing, as my sentiment is heat embossed in gold.
Thanks for Visiting
My goodness, where to start? You will not be surprised that I have that laid-back reading kitty on my wish list, and what a perfect card! Is that a wonky rectangle for the cut-out on the adorable giraffe card? Definitely keeping that idea in mind. Your beach scene is so beautiful and it feels calming just looking at it. Of course I love a surfing dog! And love the die cut big wave. The beary best birthday card is so cute! Especially with polka-dot grass. The wedding/anniversary card is total class. Finally - thanks for playing along with Seize the Birthday and the Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers!

ReplyDeleteYour creatures are adorable but my favorite cards are the cabanas and surfing. After spending the past few Februarys in San Diego, visiting Ocean Beach's hippie market street, imagining a dog surfing contest isn't hard. Always something going on at the beach.
