Just Add Text

I received a wonderful set, Just Add Text, during the On Stage Local that was held in San Diego last March. When I needed a thank you for a special customer, this was my go-to set:

Paired with the fun Naturally Eclectic Designer Series Paper, Just Add Text made a beautiful card.

I chose my colors directly from the DSP: Pool Party, Tranquil Tide, Lemon Lime Twist, and Soft Sky. The DSP on the bottom of the card inspired the stamping on the top; using the round stamp from Happy Celebrations, I mimicked the colors and created my own DSP.

Here's the sentiment, stamped and cut out with the Stitched Shapes ovals. A slightly larger one in Tranquil Tide uses the Layering Ovals Framelits dies.

And see those flowers? Two-step stamps from Happy Birthday Gorgeous (so easy to stamp, as they are see-through-photopolymer) and snipped by hand, with Glitter Enamel Dot centers just make a perfect embellishment.

And of course there's a matching envelope!

Happy Father's Day

A special shout out to all the dads in our lives. Today is YOUR day!

My husband has been my best friend, partner and "god send" this year. As many of you know, I had a minor knee surgery in March with subsequent complications, resulting in weeks of pain and immobility, a second surgery, hospital stay and a month of IV antibiotics. And through it all, my "rock" was a champ. He helped me get around the house, did all the cooking, laundry and shopping, and even learned how to administer my antibiotics!

So although he's not MY father, he IS the father to my kids, and he's also been someone without whom I couldn't have survived the past few months. A special card is due:

This card combines the best of both of us. My husband is a music lover and musician, and I am a "beach" person. Other than the linen thread, this card uses all new items: Sheet Music, So Many Shells, and Just Add Text.

The card base is Crumb Cake, 4-1/4" x 11". The Sheet Music background stamp was inked with Crumb Cake and stamped on a piece of 4-1/4" x 5-1/2" Crumb Cake, and I sponged the edges. I also roughed up the edges with a retired distressing tool. Then the Linen Thread was wrapped and tied in a bow; the layer was adhered to the card base.

The shells are two-step stamping. Inks used are Crumb Cake and Soft Suede, Powder Pink and Blushing Bride, Wild Wasabi and Old Olive, and Sahara Sand with Early Espresso. The shells were fussy cut and adhered with Dimensionals.

The sentiment was stamped with Early Espresso and cut with the Stitched Shapes framelits.

After the past few months, I am truly HAPPY that my husband is in my life! Happy Father's Day, Jim!
