- Dragonfly Stamp – Stampendous
- Swirl Stamp – Penny Black “Scroll Strip”
- Sentiment Stamp – Hero Arts “Thinking of You”
- Patterned paper – We R MemoryKeepers
- Square Scalloped Punch – Marvy Uchida
- Cuttlebug embossing folder – Polka Dots
- Background – Dryer sheet adhered to cardstock, then run through the Cuttlebug.
This card was made as part of the Operation Write Home “Try a New Technique” Challenge. I decided to try the dryer sheet technique and had mediocre results! The background with the dryer sheet definitely adds a different texture and stamping on it gives you a soft image (I only stamped the scroll stamp on the dryer sheet). It was fun to try something new.

- Flower – made with dies from The Cat’s Pajamas “Easy Rosette 017”
- Patterned papers used in flower – 7gypsies “Asmara” and “Bazrah”
- Die-cuts – Spellbinders Shapeabilities “Foliage”
- Scallops embossed with Cuttlebug “Victoria” embossing folder and inked with creamy brown Colorbox Chalk Ink.
- Background stamped with Hero Arts “Flourish Wave”
- Notched banner – die-cut also from The Cat’s Pajamas “Easy Rosette 017” set. Sentiment stamped with Hero Arts “Petite Wishes.”
This card was made with the Card Patterns Sketch 116. Lots of texture and dimension to this card! I used the dies for this card for the first time. The flower is die-cut, and then accordian pleated. The “middles” are part of the set, as is the banner. Very useful! I also used the folliage Spellbinders dies for the first time. I love them and I’ll use them and the others in the set often. Thanks for visiting.

I made this card for the Operation Write Home Summer Fun Challenge. Two cats jumping rope in summer attire seemed pretty much the epitome of Summer fun! Since I just shipped off some cards to OWH this week, this will be the start of my next shipment.

- Floral frame – digital art designed by Catherine Scanlon – I painted it with Twinkling H2Os for some color and sparkle. Cut the frame out and popped up some of the flowers.
- Cardstock – Bazzill Bling
- Embossing folder – Cuttlebug “Kassie’s Brocade”
- Patterned paper – Kaisercraft “Chanteuse Collection”
- Sentiment stamp – Northwoods Inc.
I made this card as part of an online class I’m taking from My Creative Classroom, taught by Catherine Scanlon. The class covers different cards using Spellbinders Nestabilities dies. Unfortunately my timing for the class isn’t the best as I don’t have much free time for creating. It is fun anyway.
