Card Fun

Hello,

I am so happy that I have had time to make some cards for my favorite group Operation Write Home.
I was fortunate to get a stamp set from  Lawn Fawn and have had fun making kid cards. Now I have two cards that would be wonderful or a serviceman or woman to send home to a husband, wife, boyfriend or girlfriend. I combined my boomerrang from Lawn Fawn with a sentiment I picked up when I was in Salt Lake City for work from Words to the Rescue.

This first card was really simple to make with just the two stamps and layering.





My second card is a bit more elegant looking but just as easy. 



You can't see it in this picture but after folding the card in half I embossed with my Scor Pal an inch from the bottom edge and then an inch from the fold.

I stamped and colored the boomerang from Lawn Fawn the layered it.
My next step was to stamp the sentiment at the bottom. Is this not the perfect sentiment?


 Here you can see both of the lines I embossed with the Scor Pal and that I popped the boomerang image with dimensionals.


Thanks it for today.
I hope your Monday was a great one.

Lawn Fawn Midweek Throwdown Challenge

The birthday party is still going strong.
The challenge is to make a kid themed card with scallops.

I used a lot of scallops. The sun is a Martha Stewart scallop punch. The ground and grass is a Fiskar border punch. I used a large scallop to make the cloud background.

I hope you enjoy my card. Click here to join in the challenge.

Have a blessed week.

VCMP & ODBD September Challenge
 Here is a close up of the background paper. I was stamping with several girlfriends and we had fun doing an older technique. It is making marbleized paper with shaving cream. It was so fun just getting messy. Thank you Miss Faye for letting us use your table to make our designs.

Now go check out all the challenge cards at the link above.
I am working on the church remodel later today so I don't know how many challenges I'll get done today but plan on playing along tonight and tomorrow.

Have a blessed day,
Marianne
