Cards Made in August

 

August FSC swap cards - Die cut, mixed up and pieced back together. Backgrounds were done with Distress Inks while on vacation. The die sets are from Tim Holtz's Alterations line.

 

Cards made for two I haven't met but feel like I know as a hopeful pick me up to their hectic lives - stamped with VersaFine Clair Nocturne. The stamp set used is More Big Time Sayings and were heat embossed and 3 thick. Gems I used are from Blingee Thingee on Etsy.


 

Saw my cousin for the first time in over 2 years and thought belatedly I should give him a good luck card since he was on his way back for his junior year in college. I was able to get this out in an afternoon - normally I way overthink things. The background was one I did blues/greens of Shimmering Bliss some time ago and saved. The embossing folder I used is from WRMK's Revolution Collection


This was another Shimmering Bliss background that I used in yellows and orange. The embossing folder I used was Stargazer. I used Gold for the thank you. The 'Thank You' stamp was a freebie I received from KSS. I used the stamp set Build a Sentiment - On Sale! for the heat embossed You're so Awesome. I ended up adding just a smidge of bling.

Mod Squad Challenge  Theme: Sympathy Hi there! I got this stamp off Amazon Warehouse and ever since, I've been wanting to have a go at it using my Sharpie markers. With the gift of some Memento ink, I was finally able to play! I stamped the image in the aforementioned Memento, a couple times to make sure I had the whole image. I hadn't used a dye pad since I was a child and it was hard for me to tell if I was putting ink down on the stamp. I colored it in with Sharpies and tried my hand at alternating colors with like colors. For my first time, I'm thrilled. I used the print then cut feature on Cricut for the sentiment and layered the background for the text an extra 3 times for some dimension. The vase started on A2 cut card stock but I cut it down so that I could layer it on the gray matting. It is a side folding card and I left it blank inside.

Theme: Sympathy Week of 7.21.21             For this top folding card I made for the MSC ( https://modsquadchallenge.com/with-sympathy/ ) I cut 'With Sympathy' using my Cricut Maker from gold vellum and secured it to the blue card stock border then adhered it to a black card stock. I glued a white panel on the inside so that there is space to write a personalized message.

 Another Day, Another Card Theme: Sympathy      Thinking of the Rainbow Bridge always brings me sadness but also the good memories start to pour forth. As soon as I saw the rainbow stencil on  KSS , I thought I should make a Rainbow Bridge card. I used both their rainbow and cloud stencil SVG. I used Broken China, Cracked Pistachio, Squeezed Lemon, Spiced Marmalade and Wilted Violet Distress Oxides for the rainbow. For the clouds I used a base of Black Soot and blended in Hickory Smoke Oxides. I found the cat silhouette on Cricut and modified it down to what you see. I also used the Cricut writing feature for the words. I glued the black silhouette to the rainbow and then matted it on purple. I had another version of the rainbow that I embossed but I didn't like that one either so I used the rainbow I liked best of the two. I made this for the  Mod Squad Challenge but I also think it's a good one to have on hand. The very first pet I lost as an adult rocked my world and my da
