Grad - Hanna's sister

I need more graduation cards than any other year - need to keep them fairly simple.  These are school colors - for the sister of our future granddaughter-in-law.
I used the Cuttlebug Congrats folder, and LifeStyle labels dies.
The butterfly and branches are Cheery Lynn dies.  The butterfly is cut from one of my favorite non-crafting items - a Marie callender pie box - this is coconut cream.  I added glitter to the butterfly and a gem to hold the branches.  The ribbon is a metallic gold.  The stamp is a 7Gypsies library stamp.   The starry bb is DCWV, and I used scraps for the labels and the branches. The gold cs is AMuse.

Tailored Birthday

Good timing!  I just received a little order today.  It included  a Sizzix Wedding set (embossing folders).  I embossed a portion of the larger folder to include the hearts on the bg strip.  I hope this set will prove to be as versatile and useful as I expect.  The sentiment is from a set - I think it is Recollections.  I added some small butterflies, a button and bow.  The double sided DP is from my never ending Costco pack.

Father's Day

I have lots of fishing and golfing images, but it is time to do something different!  Again, this is from my stash of images (mostly from Wish RAK on SCS).  It might be Noble Deer by SU.  The sentiment is JustRite.  I embossed the Kraft cs with Distressed Stripes.  The DP at the top is DCWV.  The card is completed with brown and white striped Baker's Twine and brads.  This is #12 of my 100 cards in 100 days - without purchasing new supplies.

Too many candles

Can some one tell me who makes this stamp and sentiment?  They were in my WIshRAK stash.  I colored with metallic gel pens. I used a product I have had for a while and used now the first time - called Enamel Accents.  It is the frosting.  I added some glittery stickles for the dots.  The fancy punch is Fiskars, and the corners are Nesties photo corners.  I am going to make a lot of masculine cards (birthdays for DH and two friends - all on Sunday). We are going to have a big party!  This is about the extent of flourishes I will use!

My apologies if I am in error for any ot these - my internet is super slow and often loads only part of a page, so it is hard to stay with it and find all the details.

May Flowers

I just gave several thinking of you cards to a friend - she has devastating cancer, and wanted cards for friends and family members who also have cancer.  Life is just difficult some times.  At any rate, I need to replenish my stash.  This is one of my favorite go-to images for a monochromatic look. The image and sentiment are from the Our Daily Bread set called Faith.  I used the textile CB folder, Nesties, blue ink, and some odds and ends of cs.I added a tiny butterfly and flower.

For a Nurse

Many times customers ask for specialty cards, and I am trying to create a few that will meet these requests.  I think this would be great for a birthday, or as a thank you for a nurse who has provided special care.  The image is CC Designs.  I colored with metallic gel pens and pastel chalk pencils.  The sentiment is computer generated.  The DP is from a Debbie Mumm stack.  The ovals are Nesties, and the strip is a CB die.
