Confirmation 2018 - last card

;

This is the last of a series of cards I have made to send to members of this year's confirmation class at our church.  We are mostly mature members, and I think it is so important to do all we can to encourage the younger members.  Image - Sweet 'n sassy;  Darice embossing folder; die cut sentiment by Cheery Lynn;  labels die cut by Spellbinder; Washi tape and gold ribbon.

Especiallly for Father

We have had a busy two weeks of travel, graduations, and a wedding.  I hope to get some photos posted soon.  Now that we are in the RV for the summer, I am having to make do with what I brought along - there will probably be more improvisation than I would like!  This card, suitable for a birthday or Father's Day,  includes an image from my Wish RAK stash (SplitCoastStampers).  It is colored with chalk pencils.  The image bg has blue sky and water and a layer of beige sand.  The sentiment is by Recollections.  The Kraft bg is embossed with a Tim Holz folder.  I used the metallic seal from a can of International Coffee for the die cut strip.  A metal brad holds the button die cut.

Anniversary for fall

Here is another of the images I have received through WishRAK (at SCS) and I have forgotten who makes it.  It is such a fun image for my friends!  I colored with prismas, and added some sparlkle with Spica pens, but I think it does not show here.  The sentiment is 7Gypsies library stamp.  The floral DP is Daisy D, and the hexagon and green are A Muse.

Happy Birthday,golfing friends

Friends of ours, a couple who love golf, both celebrate their birthdays this week. I will send them this joint card - including a huge golf ball!  The image is from a Wish RAK friend at SCS.  The dark olive cs and DP are AMuse, and the flowers are Petaloo.

Get well, Friend (Dale)

This is not the "friend" card I intended to make, but we just heard a good friend is in the hospital with serious internal bleeding.  He definitely needs a lift.  This Bugaboo image and sentiment are so funny, but I have not found a lot of suitable situations - Dale will appreciate the humor!  '
Image and sentiment - Bugaboo;  cs - AMuse,  die cut buttons

Immature for a lifetime...

  

I got this image from a friend - maybe you can help with the origin.  I used AMuse dp and cs.  Coloring is with Prismas, and the flower is Petaloo,  I added glitter to her hat, the skirt, and the platform.  The bg is embossed with the Happy Birthday folder.

Die cut butterflies

For the card full of butterflies I used AMuse papers I was lucky enough to win a few weeks ago - this is a gorgeous palette (Venetian),  I used lido and titian.  The butterflies and circles are Spellbinder die cuts - cut and embossed.  I had all the "holes" from the center butterfly still floating around on my desk, and I decided to add them along the top and bottom - kind of like the look. I used a strip of ribbon but ended up hiding most of it.

Hedgie Get Well

I am getting this posted at the last minute for a couple of challenges.
This is a fun sketch:  http://allsortschallenge.blogspot.com/
I used a Penny Black hedgie, and NO patterned paper (I still have the Cuttlebug, right?):  http://pennybfriendssaturdaychallenge.blogspot.com/
The colored cs is from a prize package received from AMuse reps - thanks!  The embossing folder is swirls.  I colored with prismas and baby oil, and added a bit of ribbon.

Thank You in orange

I need to add to my supply of Thank You cards.  This sentiment was given to me and I do not know the origin.  The diamond pattern DP and main mat are AMuse papers.  The other DP is from a box of My Mind's Eye papers - all are colors I do not use often but make a bright and cheery thank you.  I added a bit of narrow grosgrain ribbon.
