Bookmark: Split with Fun Foam

Our Daily Bread Designs has bookmark stamps and matching dies.  My grandson, Jakob, wanted to make another bookmark.  I really like the split bookmark, but it was too flimsy with a single layer of card stock.  I chose Fun Foam to make the bookmark more sturdy.

The book is A-Z Beekeeping with the Slovenian Hive by Janko Bozic.  I liked the pretty cover.

Sympathy: Flower Shop and Petite Petals

A simple sympathy card is always the best.  A colleague just lost her husband of 40 years.  What a devastating loss.

Gift Bags for Father's Day Gifts

I used the Stampin' Up! gift box punch board for these cute boxes.  I can never remember how to use the punch board, so I don't use the punch board as often as I could.

The boxes use the small size on the board.  The card stock was cut 10" x 6.5".

You're Sublime is used for the tag.

Birthday: Eastern Beauty Rainbow

This my first card using the Eastern Beauty set with the matching dies.  I actually only used the dies for this rainbow card.

Bookmark: Glittery Dinosaurs!

When my grandchildren are allowed to pick out their own paper, they usually have glitter paper in mind!  Jakob just finished kindergarten and is reading every day so he can be ready for first grade in the fall.  This is the bookmark he designed - until I can find a dragon stamp for his bookmark.  😊

Bermuda Bay and silver glitter paper are his colors of choice.  Old Bones and the matching dies (Dave's Dies) were his choice of designs. 

Birthday: Balloons on Watercolored Background

I used eight different greens and browns for the watercolored background.  Always Artichoke, Early Espresso, Very Vanilla, and gold glitter paper were used.  

Father's Day: You're Toadally Awesome!

I love the set You're Sublime.  I also like puns!  I made three of these cards, one for each of my children.  All three of my children have become wonderful parents.  I am the luckiest!
