Birthday: Bookmark Card

The corner die holds the bookmark.  Both the die and the stamp are from Our Daily Bread Designs.  The background stamps are SU! -- Timeless Texture and Gorgeous Grunge.

All Occasion: Tarnished Foil Bee Happy!

For Father's Day, I made this card for all three of my children.  The foil was a silver foil sheet.  Layers of black StazOn, and gold, silver, and copper embossing powders were applied to the dry embossed foil sheet.  Love, love, love the tarnished foil look.

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.

My brother and sister-in-law's cat was euthanized recently.  It is always difficult to lose a member of the family.

Birthday: Window Box in Pinks

Update:  After this was published, I took off two of the four little flowers on the top.

The Window Box thinlet dies are quite versatile.  This card uses the hexagonal floral die that could be used for the box for the negative cut.  I used stamps (Simple Shapes) to color the background, but I had to use markers and a blender pen to blend the colors.  I will try sponging the next card.

Birthday: Cogs with Motorcycle in Red

Aaron made this card for a coworker.  It is the same card, but different colors,  as the card I made last week.

This card is a hodgepodge of old and new.  The motorcycle and sentiments are very old stamps.  The cogs were punched from the cog punch.  The metal cogs are from Tim Holtz.  The stamped cogs are from an Our Daily Bread Designs.  Real Red and Black are the colors.

All Occasion Bookmark with Corner Die
