Since both my father and father in law are veterans I thought it would be nice to make them cards with a red, white and blue color scheme. I used the same layout for these cards that I used for my Mother's Day cards this year.</span><br />

I made two Father's Day cards using the Father's Day digital stamp I created a couple years ago. These were really quick to put together.<br />
<br />
For the first card I printed out the sentiment, cut each letter out, put it on the card with foam dots above the Happy Father's Day sentiment. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-w3dVSH0aVlk/WTSaxQGHh4I/AAAAAAAADnE/uTEnS3OA9xA1NGFxj-LBcBrB6NlzlBvGgCLcB/s1600/Father%2527s%2BDay%2B2017%2Bkraft.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1280" data-original-width="985" height="320" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-w3dVSH0aVlk/WTSaxQGHh4I/AAAAAAAADnE/uTEnS3OA9xA1NGFxj-LBcBrB6NlzlBvGgCLcB/s320/Father%2527s%2BDay%2B2017%2Bkraft.jpg" width="246" /></a></div>

</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
For the second card I printed out the sentiment twice. I cut the DAD tiles out of one and used foam dots to put them over the letters on the other printed sentiment. I did a better job lining up the tiles on that card because I used the original tiles as my guide.<br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Today I have my 2016 Christmas card to share with you. I used the Elzyabells Girl with Sleigh Stamp that I bought several years ago. The sentiment was computer generated. I used my Stampin Up markers to color the image and a little bit of Dazzling Diamonds glitter on the snow. The image was mounted with the SU Dimensionals. I kept the design very clean and simple because I made 40 of these.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br />Today I have a birthday card to share with you.
I made this simple little puppy card for my niece who loves puppies. I used a puppy stamp that I picked up a few years ago from the dollar bin at JoAnn Fabrics. I fussy cut the little dog and popped him up with some dimensionals. I love that this card didn't require any coloring. I'm including this card in the CASology challenge this week. The cue card is BARK. Thanks for stopping by and checking out my card today! You can find the challenge here: <a href="http://casology.blogspot.ae/2016/09/week-215-bark.html" target="_blank">CASology Week 215 BARK</a></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">It's been a long time since I've posted anything. I've still been making cards. Finding time to get them on my blog has been a challenge. I made some cards last night and want to share them. These are special to me because I made them as a tribute to one of the most amazing musicians of all time....Prince. His passing last week has brought back so many memories of the great times I spent with my friends listening to his music. </span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I drew inspiration on the layout for the first card from this week's CAS(E) This Sketch challenge. The placement of the sentiment is a little lower than on the sketch but the sketch inspired me so I'm including this card in that challenge. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The second card was inspired by this week's sketch at The Paper Players. Again I ended up going a bit off the sketch but I think you can see on both of these cards where I drew the inspiration.</span><br />

<br />
<br />
Today I have a Peachy Card to share with you. For some reason it made me think of the quote "Peachy Keen, Jelly Bean" from Grease. It's kind of fitting since the color is peachy and jelly beans are plentiful at this time of year.<br />
<br />

To create this card, I ran white cardstock through the
cuttlebug with the PTI Linen Embossing Folder, then I stamped the sentiment
with versamark and heat embossed it. I cut the circle frame out of white
cardstock and sponged it to get a color close to the card base color. I
stamped the glass on vellum with versa mark and embossed it with white
embossing powder. Then I colored the image.<br />

Today I have a fun tropical celebration card. It will likely be a birthday card but it could go along with some other celebration as well.<br />
<br />
There is still snow on the ground here, and I don't want to jinx it, but
it is starting to melt. I am starting to feel like spring is on it's
way. So, it's about time to be inspired by something more cheerful. <br />
<br />
<br />
I've been coming across a lot of cards with sponging this week. There
were quite a few that really inspired me to get out some supplies I
haven't used in a while. I have these chalk ink pads in some fun colors like peach, lime green, yellow and teal. They remind me of summer. I don't make many cards using sponging. In fact, I was looking through my cards on Pinterest and I could only find 2 cards with any sponging. <br />

<br />
To make this card I ran white cardstock through the cuttlebug with the PTI Linen Embossing Folder, then I sponged with Versa Magic Chalk Inks. I covered it with some Glossy Accents and spritzed it with the SU Shimmer Smooch Spritz and let it dry. I stamped the glass on vellum with versa mark and embossed it with white embossing powder. Then I colored the image. I cut two circles out of the center with the Sizzix Circle dies and
taped the image under the circle. The top circle is popped up with
dimensionals. I also embossed the sentiment.<br />

Today I have a fun and simple birthday card to share with you. I punched circles from designer and glitter paper and glued them to the card base in a random patter. The card base is embossed to add some texture. I used heat embossing on the happy birthday sentiment. <br />

<br />
Today I have a special BIRTHDAY card to share with you. This month is my Dad's 70th birthday. I wanted to make a really special card. I picked a few challenges to play along with and went about creating the card. I would never have put these colors together. That's why I love playing along with card challenges. I think this color combo works nicely. When I started pulling out my paper I wasn't sure this was going to work. It did work. <br />

Today I have a Birthday card to share with you. I used My Digital Studio to design the card layout and create the sentiment. The cupcake is stamped on colored card stock and paper pieced to the white card stock. It was not easy to cut that little heart out, but it does look cute.<br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Happy New Year 2015!!!</span><br />
<br />
Today I have two cards to share with you.
Both cards are for the Virginia's View Challenge # 11 Clean Slate. You can find the challenge linked to the photo at the bottom of the page if you'd like to play along.<br />
<br />
The layout for this card was inspired by a card I designed a couple years ago (<a href="http://juliemakescards.blogspot.com/2012/01/deepest-sympathy-black-and-white.html" target="_blank">Deepest Sympathy</a>). I changed it up by making it white on white, took out some butterflies, added pearls, and used a Happy Anniversary sentiment.<br /><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-cda1Mo9s7l0/VKV79jsQPRI/AAAAAAAADag/Oe_bmr-5ysw/s1600/White%2Bon%2BWhite%2BAnniversary.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-cda1Mo9s7l0/VKV79jsQPRI/AAAAAAAADag/Oe_bmr-5ysw/s1600/White%2Bon%2BWhite%2BAnniversary.jpg" height="320" width="270" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
I also did a sympathy version of this card. The only difference is there are a few extra butterflies and the sentiment is for sympathy. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-qoAnURMeufo/VKV_AemwaRI/AAAAAAAADas/BdPm9rwq2YE/s1600/White%2Bon%2BWhite%2BDeepest%2BSympathy.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-qoAnURMeufo/VKV_AemwaRI/AAAAAAAADas/BdPm9rwq2YE/s1600/White%2Bon%2BWhite%2BDeepest%2BSympathy.jpg" height="320" width="275" /></a></div>
<br />
While I don't make "resolutions" at the new year I have made a couple
"goals". The difference I see between resolutions and goals is having a
plan to get to the goal. My biggest goal for 2015 is to send out more
cards to my family and friends. This will require planning in advance.
I've already designed some cards and picked up some stamps for January
birthdays so I have a good start on my goal.<br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">It's a really clean and SIMPLE Graduation card. The cool thing about this card is that by using the swiss dots embossed background I was able to easily cut the diagonal along the dots. Sometimes it can be hard to get the cut just right.</span></span></span><br />

I had some Pistachio Pudding paper with embossed hearts left over from my other card so I trimmed a strip and used it on the image panel, I used the scallop edge punch at the bottom and added Dazzling Diamonds to dress it up a bit.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Today I have a Valentines card to share with you. Although now that I think about it this would make a nice thank you card too. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"> <a href="http://the-lilypad.com/store/" target="_blank"></a></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I've been spending what little crafting time I have working on digital projects. The digital file I used for this card came from a super cute Element Pack called <a href="https://the-lilypad.com/store/DIGITAL-STAMPS-Colour-in-Valentines.html" target="_blank">Color In Valentines</a> by </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><a href="http://the-lilypad.com/store/Kate-Hadfield/" target="_blank">Kate Hadfield</a> at <a href="http://the-lilypad.com/store/" target="_blank">The Lilypad.</a> </span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">I picked the color combo from this week's Dynamic Duos colors Pistachio Pudding and Blushing Bride.</span></span></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"></span></span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">The cupcake was printed twice so I could cut one cupcake out and use dimensionals to pop it up. The image was colored digitally using the Stampin Up color codes for Pistachio Pudding and Blushing Bride. I corner rounded the top and bottom edges and used Dazzling Diamonds to add some sparkle<span style="font-size: small;">.</span></span></span></span><br />

<span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;">I found this beautiful quote on Pinterest a few months
back on a vinyl wall art picture. I thought the sentiment would
be perfect for an Anniversary card. </span></span></span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-size: large;">I can tell you the hardest part about making this card was creating the sentiment. I couldn't find a download online with a digital stamp that had this quote.</span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-size: large;">To create the sentiment I used Times New Roman and Edwardian Script for the fonts. Each line of the sentiment was created using text boxes so I could move the boxes and place the text exactly where I wanted it to go. Then I grouped the text boxes to hold them together.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Hello! </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The September Digi at Birdie Brown is so cute - I just had to play along. I decided to use the sketch from this week's CAS(E) this sketch with the digi and came up with this..... </span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;">Aren't those little pumpkins adorable?</span></span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I made the little bat using a small heart punch for the wings and a 1/2 inch circle punch for the body. For the wings I punched out a small heart and then punched the top of the heart again over the negative from the first heart. Then I just added booglie eyes. I'm pretty happy with how he turned out.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Hello! I have a quick little birthday card to share today. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I downloaded this cute ladybug digital stamp from Bugaboo Stamps (linked below). The image is colored using fine point sharpie markers. I added some crystal effects to the spots. The layout is super simple. I typed up and printed a sentiment for the inside that says Happy 1st Birthday, Let's Celebrate!</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">The pool party background paper is embossed with the SU clouds embossing folder. I masked the dolphin image and sponged some pool party ink around it. This card is for my niece's birthday so I thought something cheerful would be appropriate. Now I need to make an envelope for this 5x5 square card.</span><br />

For this card I made a mirror copy of the dolphin image (original image is on the left of the sentiment). The image was manipulated using GIMP2. The dolphins were also colored in gimp. I'm pretty good at the bucket fill (LOL). The colored images were then inserted into a word document, sized and printed on Naturals White CS. I think the image manipulation of the digi stamp is pretty neat.</span><div class="MsoNormal">
