Happy Father's Day with Word Art Wednesday

Dad's sometimes don't get special stuff on their holiday like Mom's do.

My customers love their Dad just as much!  Here are the custom order requests I received:

A Dad that loves wood working. Used the wood stamp from stamping up and some SVG files for the cute tools!

            


           A Dad that loves the beach.  See the real sea shell glued on top of the ribbon??

A Dad that loves the water.....did some clear embossing and used distress inks. 

This Dad is a super hero!!  Loves Superman!

Hope you show some love to your Dad!  I know I will mine!

This is family friendly -I'll be entering my friend Karen Letchworth's blog
WORD ART WEDNESDAY.  Please check it out! They have beautiful scripture featured weekly that's FREE.

Altered Box using Unity Stamp sentiment

Friday is Friends With Flair with Unity Stamps.

I LOVE Unity Stamps.  They can be used in so many ways!

The quality is superb.  

This altered box is for a special little girl turning 8 next week.  Her Mom wanted something special to give her.  I was so glad to be a part of making it more special.

 Wild orchid Flowers are always my go to item.  The Black Pearl flourishes are beautiful.

 The designer paper has fun bright colors for an 8 year old girl.  I cut her first inital out with my silhouette.  Boxes are fun to collect and alter.  I encourage you to try it!

 I'm linking up with:

Simon Wednesday Challenge: Using your favorite technique/product:  love altering boxes and love Wild Orchid Flowers and Unity Stamps.

Need something made for that special someone??

Today I'm sharing some items I made special order.

   Below is an 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 oversized card.  For a special young man that wanted to honor his Mother that has passed. He wanted to display it on the mantel so I made it extra sturdy.

Below is a fun birthday card for a young lady's dad.  He's a chef.  I think he's adorable!

Mother's Day with Really Reasonable Ribbon

Really Reasonable Ribbon has an inspiration photo for their challenge.

I was immediately drawn to the vibrant color of the flowers.

I had this beautiful purple ribbon from RRR to use!

The background is a gelli plate creation of mine.  As you know-I'm addicted and make multiples every time I get my gelli plate out!

I always use DecoArt acrylic paint.  There are so many shades to choose from!

 The flowers are from Wild Orchid Flowers.  They have the best mulberry flowers!
The hummingbird is from Doodle Pantry.  I love how it turned out!

Mojo Monday /Mother's Day

In order to complete all the Mother's Day cards that were ordered,

I like to use sketches.  

There are none better than Mojo Monday  396!

Here's my take on this week's sketch.

I used Kaiser Craft designer paper, Wild orchid flowers and pearls.

 I'll have more to share....I had orders for 35 Mother's Day cards!  I've been busy!!

 

May Challenge with Blue Fern Studio

Wedding Cards are so fun to make! You can doll them up.

Add flowers, bows, ribbons, hearts-and even Blue Fern Studio Chipboard!

I followed the May Sketch at Blue Fern Studio and created this gorgeous card!

In case you can't tell-The Big Day is a chipboard piece from Blue Fern Studio.

I covered it with gesso, painted it with a maroon acrylic paint and then coated it with DecoArt Metallic Wax in gold. Just love how it turned out.

 I added flowers from Wild orchid flowers along with rosettes, heart pearl rope. The tiny banner was created with a Stampin up punch and stamp set.

I love using DecoArt products with other products. I used their gesso, acrylic paint and metallic wax product. You can purchase DecoArt HERE.

Thanks for stopping by!
