I just wanted to pop in this holiday weekend and show you a couple of cards that I made the other day for the
Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps June release party. It was my first time to officially be part of a release party as well as hosting a challenge. Talk about fast paced fun!! My challenge was to make a card using ribbon. I made a couple CAS cards. One I made in about 20 minutes. It took awhile to get my sea legs but all in all I was thrilled to be a part.
My first card uses
Feeling Fruity Cocoa. I love this paper from K&Co. and thought it went well with the little guy hiding behind a strawberry which is colored with Copics. I cut him out and popped him up onto two Spellbinders Labels One dies. He is cute isn't he. I know my grandkids will love him!
My second card is one that I made using the
August Gladiola set. It is another CAS card. I made it right before the party. It is the fastest card I ever made since most of my cards take hours. I am poky. I colored the glads with my Prismacolor colored pencils and Gamsol. Running SU paper through the Fleur de Lei embossing folder, adding a bow made with my bow easy, stamping on a sweet MS tag punch, trimming it out with a bit of green and white, and done! Whew, fast but loving the simplicity and elegance of this one.
Today's Blessing: My brother is coming to visit for the weekend. He lost his wife four years ago and it is always a blessing for him to stay. We will laugh, stay up too late talking, and eat coney dogs (hot dogs with sauce) as this is his favorite hometown food. I can feel the indigestion. LOL We all have those childhood favs don't we.
Have a great holiday!
