Happy Father's Day

Are you ready for Father's Day?  I am, as of now.  I've got three cards to share today, and one of them uses one of this week's Make it Monday MIM#69 sketches.

I had to take some liberties with the flowers--I used a stamp from Grunge Me instead, and made it into a background, since everything else I tried looked strange.

I finally broke out my new Chevron Dies for this next card.  I took pieces of Canyon Clay, Enchanted Evening, and Scarlet Jewel card stock and stamped them with the Crackle Background stamp.  Then, I cut then into random width chevrons, and arranged them on my card.  I got the idea to cut letters out of postage stamp die cuts from this card by Kara.

Despite my excitement several months back over the Movers and Shakers dies, this is the first time I have used this die set to make a slider card.  It came together pretty easily, thanks to the tutorial here.

Two cards--Four Challenges

I had some time to craft this morning, and made a few cards that popped into my head while I was at spin class.  

This first card is for this week's CAS-ual Friday's CFC37 and ColourQ cQc#122 challenges.  On the suggestion of a helpful commenter, I am also going to enter this card in The Shabby Tea Room Week #99 challenge:  Love is in the Air.  This is a brand new challenge for me.  How fun.

Are you sick of Rosie Posie yet?  I hope not.  I keep putting it away, and taking it back out again.  It seems to be the perfect set for almost everything lately. 

Just a Note

This next card is for this week's One Layer Wednesday OLW77 challenge, which is to make a one layer birthday card incorporating a bird or birds.  Well, I just could not resist pulling out my favorite little owl stamp for this challenge.  I won't confess as to how many owl stamps I own, but I have to say this this was my very first, and probably still gets used the most, even though it is wooden and, therefore, a real pain to use.  Oh, what I would do to get this guy as a clear stamp...

Owl Birthday

The colors are a bit off in this photo--this is Orange Zest and Summer Sunrise ink from Papertrey--I am LOVING having all the right ink colors.  And, Turquoise by Versacolor, which has been working for me as my go-to  match for Hawaiian Shores.
