Now here are my cards!
This is my card for Sketch #73. I decided to give summer one last gasp, since it's still summer weather here in San Diego County. We get our hottest weather August through mid November, which stinks for me. I love fall weather (well, the kind of fall weather you get in Pennsylvania, or Upstate New York, or New England, the kind I grew up with!) Most of the supplies for this card came from my July TNT kit (from my LSS club).
I added some faux stitching to this card...since I cannot use my daughter's sewing machine to save my life! It looks pretty cool. My SB Club pals were amazed that I did some free hand "stitching" since I crab about how I stink at doodling. Here are the card details: Card size: 5x5
Cardstock: Bazzill
Printed paper: Bo Bunny
Sticker: Bo Bunny (relax)
Stamps: Close to My Heart (fun in the sun, summer)
Ink: Staz-On
Pen: Sharpie (for drawing the faux stitching)
Staples: Making Memories
Flowers: Prima, Stampin' Up (felt)
Button: Making Memories
Floss: DMC
Ribbon: TNT kit
Tools: Spellbinders dies, Big Shot, stapler
Here is my card for Sketch #74. (I rotated the sketch.) I needed a card for my best friend's younger daughter, who graduated homeschool high school this spring. I am very late getting the card off to my "fake dd" (sorry Shannon!). I had a hard time deciding what to make. I found this scripture stamp in my stash and felt it was perfect for this particular student.
I used my Close to My Heart tool to grunge up the paper and some old MAMBI cardstock photo stickers to convey that school feel.
I die cut the flowers from an old dictionary. Even old, falling apart books have lots of life in them! Here are the card details:size: 51/2 x 4 1/4
Cardstock: Close to My Heart, Stampin' Up
Printed paper: Scenic Route
Stickers: Me and My Big Ideas
Stamp: unknown
Ink: Staz-On
Flowers: cut from an old book using Spellbinders dies
Button: vintage
Floss: DMC
Tools: Spellbinders dies, Big Shot, Close to My Heart edge tool
