Touch of Nature

Touch of Nature stamp set from Amuse, cardstock from

Gina K Designs, Distress Ink, sequins from Amuse,
clear detail embossing powder.

 

I had been wanting to challenge myself to making a one layer

card. They always feel so unfinished to me. I love this stamp

set from Amuse and the saying is appropriate for what

my daughter and I have been talking about lately.

So I snuck away to my craft room while everyone was

either sleeping or occupied on Saturday and

played away. I am pleased with the results, but do still

feel that it is somewhat unfinished. I have to keep

working on these I guess.

 

Frog Birthday

 

Retired TAC stamp set, Joy Found, (now available

at Red Rubber Designs), Amuse Cardstock,

designer paper Just Like Dad from TAC (retired),

Dazzles Happy Birthday sentiment from Hot Off The Press,

ribbon from my stash, and Copic markers.

 

I have always loved this stamp set and found it recently

when cleaning out my stamp room. My grandson's

birthday was Sept 13 and he asked for a frog collection

jar for his birthday from his parents. (Glad them and not me!).

Anyway I thought this card was perfect for him. I really

had a lot of fun stamping and coloring it. Also happy

to be using some of the items I have on hand.

Tools Happy Birthday Card

Bazzill and Neena cardstock, designer paper from MME,

Tool Die Cuts from Dynamics, and Dazzels

stickers from Hot Off The Press.

 

My son's birthday was on Sept 7th, and I cannot believe he is

now 34 yrs old! He is a wonderful man and son, and

he loves to fix and build things so this card was

perfect for him.

I had so much fun making the card, you can mix and match

some of the pieces so it looks more realistic. I am

very happy with the way it turned out.

Here is a picture of the inside of the card.

 

 

Life has been crazy for me for a while now, but hopefully I

will not be gone so long this time!
