More Birthdays and Books....Fun Sentiments Edition

 



I had big fun this weekend, pulling out many of my book themed stamps and dies to play around.  I created quite a few cards--and I'm not sure that I'm done yet.  But, because 2 of the challenges that inspired my crafting are ending shortly, I have taken a pause to post just those cards.

I loved Jacquie's sketch at Freshly Made Sketches #548, but it took me a while to figure out what I would do with it.  I really like how this card came together, and it was such fun to make.  I die cut a whole bunch of book covers and pages from one of my new Waffle Flower book dies and used that as the vertical stripe in the sketch.  I find this sentiment to be hilarious and true, and it comes from an older PTI set gifted to me by my BFF Tracey.  I may have to make a couple more of these, as I can think of so many people who would appreciate this card.






Next up is a pair of cards inspired by the sketch at Just Add Ink #616.  I used some other book and pages die cuts from the same Waffle Flower book dies and combined them with 2 of my favorite sentiments from Clearly Besotted Bedtime Story stamps.  I added a bit of texture to the card front, as it was looking a little plain.  The texture is a bunch of inspiring words...hard to see in the photo, but you can sort of make them out in real life.


















Thanks for Visiting
