Chelsea's Birthday

 
Today's card is for my DIL's birthday next week.  Purple is her favorite color, so I'm sure she will love it!  This is Cowboy Dottie from Bugaboo Stamps (I couldn't find her in their new store).  The layout is for Stella Says Sketch Challenge #511 at Catch the Bug.  I colored her with copics, cut out with Lawn Fawn large stitched oval die, and the scalloped mat was cut on my Cameo with a nesting image from the Silhouette Store.  The purple dp is from Cocoamint at her Etsy Shop, green plaid is The Paper Studio The Basics 12x12 pad, and purple and green cs from Hobby Lobby.  I used vintage photo distress ink around all the edges, lavender stickles on her belt and boots, and stamped the Happy Birthday (by Paper & Such) with dusty concord distress ink.  Fiskars scalloped punch, lime jute trim, and cowboy hat button from Hobby Lobby.

Wedding Card

I made this card for a friend's daughter who is getting married...her colors are navy and gold.  I found this cake topper image when I did a google search, which  I imported it into Silhouette Studio, traced, and cut it out.  The hearts are a Silhouette image.  I used Cuttlebug divine swirl embossing folder and heat embossed the sentiment.  Navy cs from Craft & Smith blues 12x12 pad and gold paper from Recollections.

Hubby's Father's Day Card

I thought this would be the perfect image for DH Father's Day card.  This past spring we bought a couple steers to raise, so of course, he had to get a new tractor!  His is a little newer than this one, as it has a cab (with air conditioning and a radio!), a front bucket, hay fork, and brushhog!  I included a picture of his tractor.

Anyhow, on to my card!  I chose "Got Tractor" and "Hay Bale" pre-colored images from Doodle Pantry...unfortunately she closed her shop:(  The layout is for Mojo Monday Sketch #500, which is her last challenge.  The image is cut out with Lawn Fawn large stitched square die.  I imported the hay bales into Silhouette Studio to add the text, print, and cut out.  The red dp is from Bo Bunny, striped and straw paper from The Paper Studio, as is the teal and black cs.  Burlap strips colored with copics and gear embossing folder from Darice.  I used dried marigold distress ink around the image and hay bales.

Father's Day

Today's card is my FIL's Father's Day card.  I CASEd one I found on Pinterest, hers was a birthday card tho.  I used The Open Sea set from Stampin' Up! and did the "triple time stamping" technique.  The layers are 2x3 1/4, 3x4 1/4, and 4x5 1/4.  I used temporary adhesive to glue them together, then did my stamping.  I stamped with Color Box in Putty and Black Soot distress ink.  Cut a mat for each layer 1/4" larger from black cs.  Referee bakers twine and sentiment from Paper and Such (couldn't find their link to post).

***I am taking the summer off from QKR Stampede design team, so I won't be posting every week.  Please continue to look at their blog for inspiration from the other girls and enter their ATG challenges w/twist!
