Happy 16!

Today my oldest child turns 16! The day before he was born there were snowflakes in the air and we were still planting potatoes - in fact a few hours after he arrived, Joe went back to the tractor and finished planting for the season. 

It is also the last day of school for my kids and I don't know how many times he asked me if he could not go today since they only have school until about noon.  Being the mean mom, I didn't let him skip...

His card is pretty simple but I chose to use one of the new colors that Stampin' Up! is giving us in the new Idea Book and Catalog - Granny Apple Green.  It is the card base and the ink color for the "16".  In addition I added some Fresh Fig stars cut out using the Stars framelits and some Tranquil Textures designer series paper (also from the new Idea Book and Catalog).  

Supplies:

Number of Years

Basic Gray, Granny Apple Green ink

Celebrate You

As promised, here is another version of my graduation card stock up.  Again, I used the stars framelits and Scattered Sequins dynamic impressions folder.  This time around I chose to use the Celebrate you thinlits for my words and added some Bubbles and Fizz designer series paper (SAB 2018).

For these cards, I chose to use a lighter background and embossed some Lemon Lime Twist card stock.

Supplies:

Lemon Lime Twist, Fresh Fig, Basic Gray, Bermuda Bay, Whisper White card stock

Silver foil paper

I decided to try to get ahead of the game and get some graduation cards ready to go since that will be around before I know it and I am sure we will be busy planting potatoes!  Playing around with the Stars framelits, I put together a few different cards and I will share another with you tomorrow.

For this one, I embossed some Night of Navy card stock with the Scattered Sequins dynamic impressions folder and then layered some die cut stars with dimensionals.  The congrats is die cut using the Sunshine Wishes thinlits and Silver foil paper.  

Supplies:

Night of Navy, Fresh Fig, Basic Gray, Whisper White card stock

New Driver

At a retreat recently instead of focusing on making scrapbook pages, I put together lots and lots of cards but I did mix things up a little bit and put together a few scrapbook pages using pictures that were taken in the last 6 months or so.  This one focuses on the Bubbles and Fizz designer series paper (SAB 2018) and is a really simple layout with lots of color.  

I added some stars cut out with the Stars framelits using Lemon Lime Twist card stock for some accents and the banners are punched with the Banner triple punch.

September Stamp Club Projects

There is lots of variety in the projects this month ranging from Halloween to thanks to a layout that could be used for lots of occasions including the 4th of July. 



 

 

I chose to use the Stars framelits for the layout and paired them with the Maritime designer series paper.

 

The first card uses the Color Me Autumn designer series paper and For all things stamp set.

 

 

And finally a Halloween card using the Mingle all the Way set and some Typeset specialty paper.

 

If these look like fun make sure you contact me about joining my monthly club or a Virtual Club!
