Watercolored Sunflower Die Cut Encouragement Card

Today, I’m sharing an encouragement card featuring the My Favorite Things Sunflower die set. I feel as if August is sunflower month, as the palette of flowers and foliage begins to turn to golds and oranges.

Sunflower-Encouragement

I colored the Distress watercolor cardstock with Peerless watercolors, and once dry, I cut out the pieces. In some cases, I added more paint after die cutting. Once dry, I assembled the sunflowers with dimensional adhesive. After adhering the sunflowers, leaves and flourish to the card base, I intentionally bent the petals and leaves for more dimension.

Supplies: Stampin’ Up sentiment, Stampin’ Up ink, My Favorite Things Sunflower, My Favorite Things Die-namics Leaf-Filled Flourish, My Favorite Things Die-namics Royal Leaves

Reverse Confetti Back-to-School Card

Today, I’m sharing a card with a back-to-school theme showcasing Reverse Confetti stamps and Confetti Cuts.

TakeNote

I used the Woodgrain Confetti Cuts to create a clipboard base to which I added a hinge cut with a die in the Posted Note Confetti Cuts set. The apple was cut with dies in the Class Act Confetti Cuts set, as was the notebook paper (which was stamped with the Class Act set). The “take note” stamp is in the Posted Note Sentiments set. I just love the bold font that looks as if it’s written with a Sharpie.

I’m joining the Simon Says Back To School Challenge.

Freshly Made Sketches #200

Today, I’m playing along with Freshly Made Sketches #200 with Reverse Confetti stamps and Confetti Cuts. Reverse Confetti is one of the sponsors for Freshly Made Sketches 200th sketch!

Here’s my take on the sketch:FMS200Card

I paired die cuts from Weather It Together for the top rectangle with a heat-embossed sentiment from God is Good for the lower rectangle.

Lawn Fawn Big Hello

I’m sharing a “just because” card featuring the images from Lawn Fawn’s Year Four set.

BigHello

I Copic-colored the hippo and bird, adding die cut elements and a heat-embossed sentiment (which I amended with the die cut letters for a punny sentiment). I dry-embossed the background for some texture. I thought that the larger polka dots fit the card’s playful theme.
