Rainbow Card #3

Okay I promise this is the last of the rainbow cards, at least for now! This time I made them into Birthday cards.

I added some crystal effects to the word "Bright" just for some interest. 

 Here are some additional color combinations I made. Like I said these are a lot of fun to make! And it is fun to mix up the color orders and combinations as well as use the dies at different angles.

Kid Notes - Rawr!!

When I was growing up, my mom often times would tuck a little note or card inside of my bag whenever I go away whether spending the weekend at Girl Scout camp or going to a friend's house or whatever. Now that I have children, I continued with that  tradition. I tuck a little note into their backpacks for the first day of school. I tuck notes into their notes into their bags when they're going to the grandparents house for a few days.  I pack notes in the their luggage when they go camping with Scouts. We don't actually pack lunches for school anymore, but on the occasion that we did in the past I would tuck notes in there as well.

Sometimes in the hustle and bustle of everyday life we don't think of these little notes.  So I thought I would share that tradition. I decided to make some kids card sets. Something little that you could just let your little ones know that you're thinking of them, that you're proud of them, or you think they're awesome. So the adorable Critters by Lawn Fawn are perfect for this. 

Below is my first version of my Rawr card. While I liked the basics of it, I felt it was missing something.

So off I went to look for something to jazz it up a little bit. On the card below I added a stitched square as well as a stitched circle to the card front. I also decided to add more to the scene behind the dino, so I stuck a palm tree in there. Not a lot of differences, but I like this version so much better!

I am going to be making sets of these note cards for sale at any of my events in 2018, or they can be special ordered! Stay tuned for more cards which will be in the sets!st

One image, Six ways

I went back today and made another image to replace the one that I messed up yesterday. This way I could finish my first 1 image, 6 ways challenge. 

I bought this My Favorite Things die yesterday during my trip to the Lancaster area. It's called the Oval Flop card. The thing is, it came with ZERO directions!!! I searhed through Google to get the jist of how to do it, and then created this card. I stamped a mat with en Francois by Stampin Up. I layered that on the INSIDE of the card before I sent the flop die through my BigShot. Then I cut the flowers, "Sweet You" by Funstampers Journey (FSJ) with the oval die that came with the flop die. One other complaint I have about the flop die, besides no directions, is that it should have offered another oval for layering. The scalloped oval die is from another set, and while it is close, it isn't perfect. Then I layered red and white on the other side after I sponged the red layer. I stamped the "Happy Birthday" from Stampin Up's "Occasional Quotes". I like how this turned out!
