Hubby's 1st Father's Day

My MIL came over & it gave me some time to get into my scrap room to make a few cards. I wanted to make something special for my husband for his 1st Father's Day. I just got this MFT die while shopping w/ the girls & I wanted to try it out! I absolutely love it & I am so glad I ended up buying both the scalloped dies. The paper is from The Guys stack I got at J's. It had been out of stock forever but I was lucky enough to find ONE left on the shelf during my last trip there so I had to buy it. I just love it! The fishing stamps are from The Angel Company & the sentiment is from PTI. I sooo love PTI sentiments, they think of everything! I am very happy with the way it turned out & he loved it. :)

Black & White

I love the clean look for black & white, and our challenge for card club was to use B&W. I added the red to make it pop! I used my long rectangle nestabilities for the front & then just cut the card to make it the size I wanted that way it would be a little bigger than if I let the nestie overlap in order to make the seam of the card. The "enjoy" sentiment makes it a pretty generic card - you can use it for retirement, birthday, etc all you need to do is add a more specific sentiment inside. I don't know about you, but I do this a lot with my cards because that way I can just stamp it as I need it for whichever occasion arises. Hope you are enjoying your weekend!

Long time, no post!

I haven't posted in a while because our baby boy was born 5/8! :) Life as we knew it has changed drastically so I haven't had much time to play. Today my MIL came & I got to make 6 cards - this is only the 2nd time I have stamped since he was born.

The card I am showcasing I made for our friend's bridal shower. Her colors are teal & lime green so I decided to stick with those colors for her card. I made the cake using my Sweet Treats Cricut cartridge. The cake was a birthday cake but I made it into an elegant wedding cake by using a Cuttlebug embossing folder & some spritz I made from the SU powder in the last mini. I just mixed it w/ alcohol & viola! I took some pictures so you can (hopefully) see the sheen to the cake & also the fact that I popped it up giving it a layered look. Hope you like it
