so much fun to be in my crafty space again :)

I have a few cards to share with you today!  And time to do so... yay to summer hours!  Plus, I had a medical procedure done and I'm not supposed to do much for 48 hours, so it's a guilt free excuse to be lazy and make cards, right?  :) 

Okay! First up!  I'm still having lots of fun with the hot4balloons stamp/die set from The Stamps of Life.  I picked up this pre-cut word bubble window card pack from Michael's a long time ago.  It's studio G.  I wanted it to look like someone was yelling "hey, hottie" from the balloon. ;)  I dry embossed the clouds to give them a little more texture/appeal.  The sky is chalk.  The 3D balloon idea I cardlifted from one of TSOL DT members. 

back of the card using my personalized stamp I purchased from TSOL.  The bar code is also from a set from TSOL.  :)

 

Again, more balloons.... I also used one of the framelit flip it card dies from The Stamps of Life, too. 

This next card I created for my Grandma's birthday next week.  She is a retired mail carrier, so she likes "mail stuff"  ;)  I got that designer paper (you know me, I never pay attention or remember who makes what paper) from a scrapbook kit, so it's finally coming in handy.  I cut it using a Lawn Fawn stitched journaling card die.  The mail theme stamps are all Lawn fawn.  The little bird is SU!  The cute girl sending off her card is a Fresh Brewed Designs rubber stamp.  She's Decorate it girl.  She's actually a "Christmas" theme stamp as she holds an ornament and has a box near her feet.  She also is wearing long underwear... but no longer.....

I made her a ribbon skirt and drew her some shoes. 

The inside stamp is SU!  Also, the little heart on the envelope and the ones inside are from a butterfly triplet die cut set from The Stamps of Life. 

and lastly....  the colors are off on this card, but you get the idea.  I also got this paper from a scrapbook kit, but have had no use for it, but thought it would be great with these hot air balloons... traveling the world. ;)  I didn't want to cover the words, so I stamped directly onto the paper and then die cut the shape out and pop dotted it back on so you can see the balloon, but still read the words.  I added a ribbon so it would stand out more..  Up, Up, and away is stamped onto washi tape........

TFL!  Have a great Wednesday!  :)
