One Nation Under God

Happy Tuesday!! I hope you are having a wonderful week!! I want to sincerely thank those of you who suggested using Benedryl for my poison outbreak. It totally works on the itching. More spots keep popping up and I look like I'm molting or something, but at least I'm not itching as much anymore :) It's my turn to post on the Die-Versions blog and I have a patriotic card to share with you today.

The new USA Whispers die is one of my all-time favorites and with the Fourth of July just around the corner, I couldn't wait to create a project with it. It is currently sold out but should be back in stock soon. I popped it up with foam tape for dimension and used patriotic papers from Bo Bunny. I've hoarded this paper for two years and I am just about out :( The edges were distressed with a Zutter DIA.

The pull-out tag is a Stars Tag die. Both sentiments are from an old K Andrew Designs stamp set.

I used a Wee Petites Super Stars die for the center of the bow.

And I added some Super Stars to the inside as well.

I am entering this in the following challenges:

1. DL.Art - June Linky
2. Little Scrap Pieces - Show it Off Saturday
3. Craftin Desert Divas Craft It Up & Link It Up - July 4th

Thanks so much for stopping by :)

Celebrate Father's Day

Happy Monday!! I hope you had a wonderful weekend!! It's my turn again to post on the Die-Versions blog and I have a couple of cards to share with you today using one of the awesome new dies from the May 2015 release.

I don't create many masculine cards, so I was so excited to see the new Whispers Vintage Motorcycle die from the latest release!! It's perfect for a masculine birthday card or for Father's Day...so I've made one of each.

A Whispers Circles Background was used for the base. The Vintage Motorcycle was cut in silver foil so that it would shine :)

Happy Birthday is a Corner Concepts die. The star is a Wee Petites Super Stars die.

For this card, the Whispers Circles Background was cut in silver foil. Celebrate is an Express Banner die.The two star bursts and the stars along the top are Wee Petites Super Stars dies.

A Sweet Spots Angel Wing Scalloped Circle was used for the sentiment, which was created with the A Little Mint Font set.

I am entering this in the following challenges:

1. DL.Art - May Linky

Thanks so much for stopping by!! Have a fabulous week :)
