Kayak Girl

When I saw Angie Blom's Kayak Girl I knew I would make a card for my friend Martha. She and her husband have a house on Anderson Island, WA and love to kayak. If I had a Mt. Rainier stamp I would have fussy cut the tree line.


The Kayak Girl image was fussy cut and colored with Copics. I tried to choose colors for a harmonious feel (one with nature).

Stamps: Angie Blom Kayak Girl and Love the Lake Background digis

Create and give with joy. 💛

Destination Happiness

Pulled out The Greetery Destination set for this card for a friend who enjoys road trips.


Even though I have the Destination die, I used the stencil for the background. Double stacked the elements for added heft and dimension. Omitted the flowers on the compass wreath because this card is for a guy.

Stamps: The Greetery Destination and Destination Summer, Honey Bee Be Still                  (sentiment)
Dies: The Greetery Destination and Destination Summer


Looking forward to a cool, crafty fall!

Being Awesome in Seattle

This card came together nicely using saved event brochures and mailers (Seahawks and Mariners logos). 


Side view for the Stardream sparkle.




Our nephew just moved to Seattle, his first time living away from home. He's going to the Seahawks season opener on his birthday, and has been to a couple of Mariners games so I thought a collage card would be fun.

The border, Space Needle, and ferry are die cut out of Stardream silver cardstock. Background is Stardream Sapphire.

Poolside

Played with the Concord & 9th Poolside stamp and dies today. I love it! The added die cut layered leg and hat brim add so much!




First time playing with the MFT Perfect Pool Water stencil. So cool! Forgot to start with light blue cardstock, so after turning the stencil four times I went over the white spots with the ink left on the blending brush. Also spritzed the whole panel with sparkly spritz I've had for years. Wish you could see it! Added a flower and tiny pearl center to the floppy hat. Cased Carissa Wiley's tropical leaves stamped on the swimsuit, so cute! Her video here.

Stamps: C9 Poolside
Dies: C9 Poolside, Hello Bluebird Tropical Leaves
Misc: C9 Sand cardstock from the neutrals assortment, MFT Perfect Pool stencil,             tiny flower punch, tiny pearl

Have a beautiful, crafty day!
