Happy Father's Day!!!!

Hello everyone, hope all the men in your life are having a great Father's Day. Since my Dad lives in another province, I made him a card and sent it in the mail.

He loves eagles so I started by cutting out this Bald Eagle from the Silhouette store by Jennifer Wambach. I used the Houndstooth embossing folder for his outer wing and a popdot for dimension.

Then I added some tree tops from the Tree file from Silhouette and inked them with Tim Holtz Peeled Paint. I didn't really have any sentiments that matched but I found this one by Just Rite from the Bird Houses set.

This card reminds me of the other day at the lake, there was an eagle sitting on the tree tops watching over everyone, just like a Father watches over his kids.

The inside sentiment is from Pink By Design's Spring Has Sprung set and the other stamp is one I had in my stash.

Wishing all the Dad's out there a Happy Father's Day!!!

A little bird told me.....

Well time to get back at it.... I have been sick with an ear infection that just wouldn't go away.
Now it is gone and I can enjoy life again... yay

So I started the other day with a birthday card for the LPN on the unit I work.

She is a wonderful, thoughtful lady that I love to work with. Since it was her special day we decided to celebrate with balloons,flowers, cake and of course a  card.

I stamped one of the birdhouses from my JustRite Birdhouses stamp set and colored it using my Copics. I cut out and embossed the image using my Spellbinders Standard Circle Large Dies. Then ran the bottom half of the teal paper through the Cuttlebug with the Floral Fantasy folder.  

Both sentiments come from the Simply Everything stamp set from Pink By Design. This is a great versatile stamp set to own, it simply has a bit of everything...lol

The cardstock is Recollections Cool Water .... I love the colors in this paper pack, a mixture of purples and teals. I added a few large and mini flower brads from Recollections that I picked up on sale at Michaels.

Since the card is a 5 1/2" square I realized that I needed to make an envelope to fit.

I used my Martha Stewart Score Board and Momenta Chloe's Garden pyramid paper pack that I got at Walmart to make this envelope. I just love the great assortment of beautiful double sided cardstock in Chloe's Garden.... great for many uses.

Have a great day and stay crafty.
