I needed a retirement card quickly one night, so I put together this card using the Pun Fun stamp set.  The stamp set actually says “you rock” under the rocking chair, so I used masked the sentiment so I could just stamp the chair, kind of like a retirement rocking chair.  I then used our alcohol markers to color it in.  The “Wishing You Congrats” comes from the 4 My Friend stamp set.

The bottom has some layered Washi Tape and Shimmer Trim with a flower from the For Always Assortment.  Simple and effective!  I hope they like it!

I am so loving doing my honeymoon pics. Only 2 years late, lol! I wanted to use the CTMH Tommy collection because of this pretty cranberry cardstock that comes in it. Plus, it has a nautical theme to it and so that looks great with this pic of me sitting at the dock in Cozumel. I was waiting here for the new hubs to get back from walking down the long, long pier to our cruise ship. We had gotten off the boat, walked around a little and then tried to get money from an ATM. His bank refused it because it was outside of the USA. I remembered there was an ATM on the cruise ship and suggested he use that one, but I didn’t wanna walk all the way back. It really is a long pier! Anyway this is where he found me and took a pic of me before I saw him walking towards me. Yep, that’s me just chillin’ in Mexico all by myself.

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE these CTMH butterfliles! I wanted to stack them and so I painted one yellow so it would show up against the other one. Adding a butterfly to a circle gives the impression of movement.

Putting butterflies in a line (staggered or not) also gives the impression that they are flying.

I thought this little cork wood embellishment with the anchor and crown from the Tommy collection went very well with the nautical theme. I think the red and white twine looks like a rope. Very cool!

This pennant is from the Tommy collection, too.

This “moment” is from a border strip off of one the Tommy papers.

I used a blank white card and then using my new Cuttlebug embossed the circles on just part of the card using the Spots/Dots folder.  The stamp set is Joyful Birthday, which is a great one to have on hand when creating birthday cards.

I cut a 1″ strip of the grey cardstock from the Dream Pop paper!  But wait, isn’t that embossed.  Why yes, it is.  But I flipped it over and used the regular cardstock side!  Then I used a small piece of patterned paper from the same Dream Pop packet and cut it at only 1/2″.   I then just layered some accessories from the For Always assortment.

So here is a quick and simple card using the Dream Pop papers and some Washi Tape.  I first balanced the card by laying down the Washi Tape at top left and bottom right.

The top left is layered with the paper.  I have one texture, cut a banner with a different paper, then used my punch to cut out the scalloped circle.  I decided to cut part of it off to make it flush at the top.  Then I used some Baker’s Twine around it and popped up the Happy Birthday sentiment, which comes from the Perfect Fit – Birthday stamp set.
