Mom's Birthday Card

***I am away on vacation right now in a place that doesn't really have internet, so forgive me if I don't get back to you if you have any questions! We are sneaking in a pre-baby mini getaway in the Santa Cruz Mountains (the redwoods). It's absolutely gorgeous!***

Happy Father's Day to all of the FABULOUS fathers out there including my dad and my husband (father to be!)!!!


I made this for my mom's birthday. She is a gardener and when I saw this kit, I knew this was JUST perfect for her. 

I totally fell in love with this Simple Stories line and quite literally have been waiting for it to come out for months! So I was tickled! 

I used the Artful Delight June Sketch below:

Sentiment: My Pink Stamper: Birthday Crazy™

You're a Great Catch - Father's Day Card

I made this for the Imaginisce June Challenge. It is a sketch challenge using over 75% Imaginisce as well.

I made this for my Father-in-Law who I call my co-dad. He's fantastic and he'll be fly-fishing in Idaho during Father's Day so he is receiving this WAY early! For me, he was a great catch of a father-in-law. He is wise, patient, kind, and caring. I got super lucky.

For the new mommy...

A HUGE happy birthday to MY mom! It's her birthday today and I am SO lucky to live close enough to her to celebrate with her! I am very excited! My birthday is on the 10th so we usually do something together. :) We like to eat. It will be some place with good food. :)

Another Canvas Corp card. LOVING their products! Make sure to check them out a craft store near you!

I went to a friend's baby shower on the 19th and she is having a little girl. She is all about being girlie, so I made this card girlie too! :)

Canvas Corp Thank You!

Another card made with Canvas Corp goodies! I love their products and the combo with 7Gypsies is always so much fun! 

I simply grabbed the stamps and put them all on one block and stamped them right onto the canvas. It stamped beautifully.

The twine is from the tags and twine combos that Canvas Corp has. I didn't even have to cut it. Perfect length! 

Lastly, I have always stamped my sentiment onto a plain colored background for the most part. I am just starting to get into stamping on a patterned paper background. Sometimes it comes out more vivid and sometimes it hides it more! It's really fun. Give it a try! It works beautifully on this 7Gypsies paper though!

• Patterned Paper:
• 7Gypsies: Conservatory Paper: Mesofauna™
• 7Gypsies: Conservatory Paper: Butterfly™
• Card base and envelope: Canvas Corp: NTC/envelopes in Speckle™

• 7Gypsies Conservatory Clear Stamps™
• Ink: My Pink Stamper in Darkest Night™
• Sentiment Stamp: My Pink Stamper: Around the Corner™

Make sure to stop by the Canvas Corp blog and let them know I sent you please! :) 

I will be giving away some of their goodies in my 500th post celebration! :) 

SPS Blog Hop - Sympathy Cards

***Note: I am SOOO sorry, but I am getting super spammed with super bad stuff. So I have turned on word verification TEMPORARILY and will be taking it down in a week or two - hopefully weeding out the anonymous spammers. I hope you understand! I personally hate word verification, so it won't be up long!***
