Picture Perfect - WWYS 69

It's full on summer. We spent the day at the beach yesterday for Father's day. It was so nice and relaxing. YEAH!!! In honor of summer, beaches and all things happy and sunny here is a nautically inspired card using the starfish image from Picture Perfect. You guessed it, Picture Perfect is this week's What Will You Stamp challenge set.

I wasn't really sure what direction to take this card when I started but I am please with how it turned out. I'm itching to use new catalog sets so I paired Picture Perfect with the new Thoughtful Banners stamp and Duet Banner punch. Bright, simple and sunny. The little bits of copper glimmer you see are from the Affectionately Yours Designer Washi Tape! Love it.

The pop of dark blue is the new Incolor Dapper Denim. Another LOVE IT.

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY - Badges & Banners, Thoughtful Banners

Happy Father's DAY weekend. We have some fun things planned and hopefully you do too. I'm not sure crafting will make it into the mix this weekend so I made my Father's Day cards early. I figured I'd post these cards today, instead of tomorrow, in case you need some last minute Father's Day card inspiration! My Dad and Chris rarely follow the crafty blog posts so I think I am ok. I mailed my Dad's gift, sans card, last week. Oops. Looks like he'll be getting is card a little later.

These two cards use all sorts of fun new products. The Diagonal background stamp is going to be a very well used stamp. I LOVE It.  These supplies lists are not for the faint of heart. Ouch! I guess I needed to use all sorts of new goodies.

Greatest Greetings - WWYS 68

You've got to love a good timeless greetings set. Greatest Greetings is just that, and it is the stamp set for this week's What Will You stamp challenge. This set works well with just about any image stamp set. I've paired it with the new Swirly Bird Stamp set & Thinletsfrom the Stampin' Up! catalog.  

The primary color on this card is Sweet Sugarplum, a new SU InColor. This color is growing on me but I'm not sure I love it yet. Maybe it's just bad memories from a high school dance where I wore a similarly colored dress? Maybe this memory was my subconscious inspiration for this week's card?  Between my giant hair and puffy/swirly dress I think this card totally reeks of 1989. What do you think?

We'd love it if you'd join in on this weeks WWYS challenge. Check out the WWYS blog to see all the great inspiration from some seriously fabulous card makers. Thanks for stopping by.

Manly Occasions - Paper Pumpkin Alternates for May 2016

I feel like I am always a bit behind on making my Paper Pumpkin Kits - a month late I guess. What do you think of the May Manly Occasions kit? Here are a select few of the alternates I created. I've seen some really amazing cards with this kit and am super inspired by them. I'm not sure I pushed myself enough with these samples, oh well. Check out this Pinterest board to see THESE super cool samples using this kit.
