Frames

 Sorry a little blurry, I was in a hurry to rescue the dog toys from the baby :) Simple baseball frame with ribbon on the side. The edges of this frame are inked in black.

 Soccer Frame with ribbon on the side. This frame also has black inked edges.

This frame has ribbon and flower embellishments with a cork board butterfly. The saying is 'Good times are even better when they are shared with friends.' Edges are inked brown.

I got all the paper from Hobby Lobby, and cannot remember who the 'name brands' are. I need to get better at writing all that down. :) 

Father's Day Cards

 Card made for my sports fanatic Uncle. I scrambled to make this last minute..in the wee hours of the morning and forgot to write down where the sports stickers came from. Sentiment is printed out on Microsoft Word.

 This one was for my mom to give to my grandpa. She asked for a farm themed card. This was the best I could do. The animals are from the 'Just Because Cards' Cricut cart (and the corn), the grass is from Plantin Cricut cart, and the fence is from the Mickey and Friends Cricut Cart. I used my versa mark mocha ink to 'dab' on the page for dirt. 'DAD" stamp is from a cheap clear set I got as a gift.

 Inside of the card, printed from Microsoft Word.

 This was for a co-worker. She wanted a step-dad card. He likes wine, so I tried to convert these champagne glasses from the Cricut Tie the Knot cart to red wine glasses. :) Twine is wrapped around the top of the card.

 Double Sided paper from CM, Buttons are from a random mix I got at Joann's, sentiment printed out on Microsoft Word.

After a long hiatus, I am back! June was CRAZY busy. My husband and I are both high school coaches, so we planned all our actives in June so we could have a month (July) break. It was exhausting, but that is the way it goes. It took a long time to get my new Scotch ATG gun, but it is finally here. 'We' have a love-hate relationship as of right now. :) So, without further ado, here are the Father's Day Cards I made this year.

Frame

 A frame I made for a co-worker who retired this week. Swirls are stamped and embossed. Flowers have pearl embellishments. Twine is wrapped around. Middle is a sticker adhered to layers of blue, yellow and white card stock. Wood frame is from Michael's.

Multi-Purpose Card

 I made this card for a co-work's mom for Mother's Day; however, this could be used for anything really. I used the Cricut Just Because Cards cartridge. I used my white gel pen to add dimension to the leaves. I used pop-up stickers to set the brown background up off the card. Also used the Texture Boutique Dots for the base.

Birthday Card

 I used some brown glitter glue to go around of the outlines, a white gel pen for the border. VersaMark espresso ink around the edges and white sentiment on the inside.

 I used the Martha Stewart Page Punch for the side.

Cake is set up on pop-up stickers. I used the Cricut Tie the Knot cartridge for the Cake cut-out. 

Frame

This is a frame I made for my sister-in-law for Mother's Day. The sentiment is from Creative Memories. The butterfly is cork board that I bought at Micheal's. Pearl embellishments.

Graduation Cards

 Texture Boutique Dots used for the bottom half of the card. Graduation Hat pop-up sticker. Sentiment is stamped and heat embossed; also, set up with 3D pop-up stickers.

Inside read, 'The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.' -Eleanor Roosevelt

 Sentiment stamped and embossed. Hat stamped and faded down. Mortar boards have black 'pearls' where the tassel attaches. Set off with pop-up stickers.

Inside reads, 'Do not go where the path may lead; go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.' Ralph Waldo Emerson

 Stars cut out with Cricut Plantin at 2. Set up on 3D pop up stickers against black stars for dimension. Sentiment stamped and embossed. Black pearls for embellishing. Inside has two yellow stars.

Inside, 'For I know the plan I have for you declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plants to give you hope and a future. Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.' Jeremiah 29:11-13.

Diploma, stamped and embossed.

Inside reads, 'There is a good reason they call these ceremonies 'commencement exercises.' Graduation is not the end, it's the beginning.' -Orrin Hatch
