U.S. Army Strong Congratulations card for Husband. HOOAH!

I made this card today to send to my husband.  He recently celebrated his 27th Anniversary in the Army.   I am also sending this as a Congratulations for the new job he is about to start.   Hooah!!

I used papers from Uniformed Scrapbooks of America U.S. Army Paper Collection.  I have always wanted some of this paper and when I seen it at a local store marked down to $5.96 a pack, I bought 6 packs.  I might go back and get some more.  I love the yellow paper with the Army logos on it

I used my Silhouette Cameo to cut out the rank ~ love that machine!!

Card stock used was black and MFT Lemon Drop yellow.

"MERRY CHRISTMAS" card using My Monthly Hero-Hero Arts Kit

Several weeks ago I ordered the Hero Arts My Monthly Hero Kit the day it launched  I spent a good deal of time that day trying to get in and when I did I was so excited to get this kit in my hands.   My kit arrived and for some reason I wasn't "feeling it" to make anything.   This morning I watched a video on YouTube where the lady made a template and then stamped in the open areas, then put a thin strip of gold along the sides of each section.  I so wanted to try this so I made a template, however the first one I made was out of thicker paper and when I stamped the first image I knew I had to make another out of thinner paper.     

I used gold poster board on my card.  I buy it at Hobby Lobby and get the frame department to slice it across the middle into two sheets. They charge $1.00 per cut and it was so worth it.  I can then fit each piece into my paper trimmer to cut it down.  

The "bling" on the poinsettias are from The Eyelet Outlet.  I shipped my gold sharpie, so I figured I'd use them instead. When my son came home he still had his, so he let me use it in case I make more of these cards. 

I know I said in my last post I would be putting together a giveaway. I hadn't forgotten forgotten ~  I have had a few appointments this week to deal with and it kinda slipped my mind. I'll get some goodies gathered up.      


SUPPLIES:

card stock:  Red, White and Gold Poster Board
ink: Hero Arts Monthly Kit inks
stamps: Hero Arts Oct My Monthly Hero Kit
accessories:  Scor-Pal, My Favorite Things Circle Stax Die-namics, Bling and Foam Tape, Homemade Template

"MANY THANKS" card using Lawn Fawn's Happy Harvest

It's been a long while since I made anything.  I had a laundry list a mile long ~ with getting a child off to college in another state, then preparing a household for two moves, packers, movers and then moving what was being kept to move to another house.   It's finally all done, we are moved and I can finally sit down and start creating again.

Even though I wasn't making anything (because the supplies that I kept, were still in tubs), I have bought some goodies that I am ready to play with.

I bought this adorable Lawn Fawn stamp set in Springfield last week and was anxious to get it inked up, colored and onto a card.  Lawn Fawn's images are so darn cute!   I have a bunch of these images stamped and cut out, so I just need to get busy coloring to make some more cards.

SUPPLIES USED ON CARD:

card stock:  White, Brown

pattern paper: Lawn Fawn Sweater Weather

stamps: Lawn Fawn Happy Harvest

ink:  Hero Arts Black, Asst. Copic Markers, SU Crushed Curry

accessories:  Scor-Pal, Silhouette Cameo, Lawn Fawn Stitched Hillside Borders, Lawn Fawn Stitched Journaling Card and Foam Tape
