Project 7 — Kids Cards

On to Project 7 and what fun this one was. So far we've covered Guy Cards, Ladies Cards, Sympathy Cards, Gift Cards, and our last set of cards is for Kids — I think we've covered them all.
I love these Etch-a-Sketch cards — they are quick to make but everyone loves it. This stamp set is From the Herd — what a great set.
This card was my daughter's favorite — she is a music teacher.
It seems all kids have a cell phone now so this card is quite appropriate and works well for the teens.
Don't these blocks look like real legos. They are really rectangles of cardstock and we added Brights Candy Dots to make them look like a pile of lego blocks — clever, huh…

Quick, Easy, Elegant Sympathy Cards

Sympathy cards aren't my favorite cards to have to make but unfortunately we all need them from time to time and it's best to have them on hand so you don't have to make one when you aren't feeling real creative.

This group of cards was our sixth project at our Stampin' Sisters Retreat. We started with a template made with the Oval Collection Framelits, sponged on some color, stamped the image and added the words, pretty easy, but fabulous cards.
We started by sponging the ovals on the first three cards using Early Espresso ink — next we stamped the images (the first three used Lovely as a Tree stamp set — a classic that everyone should own). The words are from Love & Sympathy stamp set.
Aren't they lovely.
Next we did three cards with Blushing Bride ink sponged in the ovals.
We again stamped the image with Early Espresso ink — this time we used Serene Silhouette stamp set.
Do you feel calm and peaceful yet?

I think this is my favorite card. I love these flowers. Now I am ready with 6 wonderful cards when I need them — I really hope I don't needs any Sympathy cards for a very long time.

Only two projects left from retreat — come back tomorrow for Project 7.

Guy Greetings — Part 2

The Guys Greetings stamp set is easy to pass over in the Occasions Catalog but once you start using it you will fall in love with it like I have. The images are great for so many of the guys in your life. Most masculine set are "outdoorsy" or animals, this set is quite versatile.

Here are the last three cards that we made:

The love the look of this card — the DSP just helps it pop. Everyone received a package of Neutral Candy Dots to add just a bit more to their cards.

This card makes me think of my dad — he was always working with tools and fixing cars when I was growing up. When I turned 16 and got my drivers license my parents bought my first car — it cost them $65 (I think), it didn't run but my dad worked on it and he made it run like a charm. It was my pride and joy because I actually had my own car (even though it really wasn't mine) and most of my friends didn't have a car. Wow that was a long time ago.

Last but not least — Hats Off to You.
