A Little Bit of Lovin’

Monday Larry and I celebrated my 29th Wedding Anniversary. (I know I can’t believe it either. How did that happen? Since I’m only 29, I must have been a child bride LOL!!) And so I thought I’d share some great love themed swaps that I’ve received.

This first one is from Irene and I love the way she used the Number of Years Bundle (140811) with the Bloomin’ Heart Thinlits Die (140621).

While this card is for that special Silver Anniversary, I think the layout is perfect for any year. Just change up the colors and you’re sure to make an impression!

This second card I made in a shoe box swap and it uses the You’re So Sweet stamp set (138682/139440).

And this card from the Shoe box swap uses the Everything Eleanor (131987/124164) and Butterfly Basics sets (138813/138816/137154). I think it would make a lovely wedding or bridal shower card. How about you?

And finally another Anniversary card that was given to me by Donna. I love the way she used the Bird Builder Punch (117191) and Woodgrain Embossing Folder (127821) to create the look of wood the bird is peaking out of.

The cute little flowers are from the Tree Builder Punch (138295).

Look Who’s Turning 17!

Don’t you love birthdays? I know I do and when I made this card  yesterday for a special young man I wanted something bright and cheerful – so of course I reached for the Brights Collection.

Number of Years

I wanted something bold so I chose the stripped pattern from the stack. And since it was for a dude I went straight to the blues and chose the Pacific Point pattern to stay with the primary color theme I had in my mind.

I just love the versatility of the Number of Years stamp set since it covers almost everything. And the fact it has coordinating Framelit Dies…. Well as a Big Shot lover, do I need to say more? Bundle (140811) them and you’ll save 15%. Whoo hoo! Got to love that.

I’ve got my complete supply list below for you.

Number of Years

It’s been a very blustery day here in North Georgia and the yard is sopping wet from all the rain we’ve had today. The bands of rain coming through earlier today have been pretty intense. The power of nature always amazes me. Just a few minutes into the downpour and I watched the muddy red “rivers” form in the fields around us and our yard as the water headed to the lower ground and the creek that is close by. Hopefully as you read today’s post your dry and safe.

Anyhow on to the fun stuff!. Today’s cards use the Number of Years stamp set (140653) found on page 11 in the Occasions Catalog. While they both use the same set they are two very different cards.

This first card was given to me by my friend Anna. It’s bright and cheerful and for some reason reminds me of sock hops for some reason. (Odd I know LOL!)

Number of Years SC Swap Occasions 2016 (3)

I love the color combination of Basic Black and Melon Mambo. Anna used the Large Numbers Framelits (140622) to create the focal point on the front. You can get both when you order the Bundle (140811) at a 15% discount.

Open the card and you’ll get a surprise – It’s a fancy fold.

Anna also used our Everyday Chic Designer Series Paper (138445) and the cute little Party Punch Pack (140608) too!

This second card was created by Kate and uses the flower images from the set.

I LOVE the soft background Kate created. It’s soft and subtle.
