We have been officially on summer break for since Thursday at noon and I snuck away from our semi-annual closet clean out to make a couple of cards. This first one is completely inspired by Therese Calvird, the Muse for Challenge #71.
How cool is this card?! I love the bright colors and stacked diecuts and used them on my card.
The font on the Lawn Fawn paper is a good match for the PTI Happy die. The Happy is cut from the panel three times, then stacked with three layers of cardstock and set back into the patterned paper panel.
The bright summer colors and birthday sentiment make this card eligible for the current Seize the Birthday Summertime challenge
Our "Toppings" option this time is
"Summertime"
My second card combines the Freshly Made Sketches #140 with The Card Concept #12 to make a Father's Day card for my daughter to give her dad tomorrow.
Wplus9's Dockside stamps & dies were combined with the wood veneer pieces to make the diagonal panel.
The big question is which category does this fit for The Card Concept challenge - Clean & Simple of Clean & Layering?
Thanks for stopping by,
Jacquie

Another WOW card, Jacquie! Well, all of them really, but you entered the Big Happy Birthday die cut card in Seize the Birthday and I am just loving it! Everything about it is fabulous! Thank you for linking it up to Seize the Birthday!
ReplyDeleteWow! Both of your cards are amazing! The happy birthday one is fabulous with the layered die cuts and the nautical card is fabulous too! I'd say it would fall into the clean and layered category :)
ReplyDeleteThese are both amazing. I really love your first card. Those stacked die cuts are such fun. And, your nautical card is just perfect.
ReplyDeleteHow perfect is that happy paper for the first card, perfect execution, I really love that happy die and love the little wood veneer people on the second card.
ReplyDeleteAmazing! Love these cards. Did you do you die cutting out of the original background paper? I am so impressed with your perfect execution. Great job and thanks for playing along with Seize the Birthday!
ReplyDeleteFab cards- the happy card is so cheerful.
ReplyDeleteLove that anchor sentiment! And the little wooden people are cute, too. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for joining us at The Card Concept. :)
This is so cute and unique -- love your design!
ReplyDeleteI love the way you put the printed paper over the stacked colored paper. It really makes them stand out (again with the puns, sorry lol).
