More Cards

It's June so that means lots of cards on this blog! I have three cards to share today. 

First up is a graduation card. The design is very similar to the graduation card I shared a couple of weeks ago, I again used school colors.

This is another tried and true design. I used my floral Turnabout stamp and shades of yellow and white on cream cardstock for this card. The Turnabout stamp makes a 6x6 panel, so I cut it in half and trimmed it to fit on a 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 card. I then added a piece of gold glitter cardstock and a punched yellow cardstock border to the bottom of the card. I used the coordinating stamps to stamp a couple of flowers to embellish the card. For the sentiment, I stamped and heat embossed the word "Happy" and cut the word "birthday" from cream cardstock. I stacked the cut outs for dimension and then brushed pearlized ink over the word for some shimmer. I finished off the card with some clear gems.

My last card used up some scraps and premade bits I had laying around. The background is made of strips trimmed off of inked backgrounds. I attached them to a piece of cardstock trimmed to the right size and then clipped off the excess. The sentiement was already stamped on the punched circle, so I added them with some foam tape. The stars were also already cut, but I did add some yellow Stickles gel for some sparkle. Once those pieces were attached, I decided I wanted to add a bit more so I stamped and water colored the little puppy and balloon. I attached that with foam tape as well.

 Thanks for stopping by to check out my cards!
