Birthday card for dh

Well technically his birthday isn’t until Tuesday but since I had to give away four cards I made this week before I could get a chance to upload them, I thought I would post this card. I have been trying to use some things from my stash that I have had for awhile and this one uses some magic mesh and Heidi Swapp rub ons (the stars).  The Corvette is from Rubbernecker stamps and thought it would be great for dh’s card since he is really into old classic muscle cars. Too bad I couldn’t find an old Camaro stamp but the Vette will do.

I am so happy that most of the graduation parties are over now and with only two days left of school for my kids, I will finally get more time to stamp!! I have had so many challenges that I wanted to do the last couple weeks but have not had the time.

Graduation Card

Today is my nieces graduation party and I needed a card for her, so what better image to use than Graduation Anya from The Greeting Farm. I have to say I am really liking digi stamps! Although I don't have many cards posted using them, I have downloaded and printed out TONS of them so far and don't see it stopping anytime soon. Since I also needed to enclose some money in her card I decorated the inside and made a pocket on the left for the money.

Recipe: paper: Bazzill black cardstock, dsp DCWV Rockstar; stamps: Grad Anya, The Greeting Farm, SU Congratulations (can't think of the set, brain freeze) silver ribbon and brads from my stash. SU wide oval punch for the notch on the pocket; bic markits; sizzix grad hat die cut.

Sorry the pics aren't that clear. I am still using the scanner (because now I can't find any of my multiple camera cards) and the bumpiness of the brads, and ribbon caused the scan to be somewhat blurry.

Funky Fairys Challenge #15

 

So I found another challenge blog. Funky Fairys has really cute digital papers, embellishments and stamps and some lovely challenges as well. The challenge this week was to make a get well card. I don’t usually do get well cards but with winning those new GinaK stamps I knew they would be perfect.  I did get to use them a few days ago too to make some cards for the nurses at the extended care but I didn’t get pictures of them before I gave them away.

Happy Mail last week!!

A couple of weeks ago I was lucky enough to win some new stamps on Gina K’s blog. I won both the Nurse Feelgood and Dr. Feelgood sets!! They came early last week, but I had not had a chance to upload the pic or to even blog since then so I am just now getting around to using them! If you haven’t seen them yet here they are.

Aren’t they cute?!
