Missing My Marine Cards

I had a sweet request for a few cards last week from a girlfriend who was missing her marine currently serving our country overseas.  I didn't have any military specific stamps which gave me a bit of a challenge and maybe even made this assignment more fun! :)  Here is what I came up with for her:

I used some Lawn Fawn stamps for this one, keeping the design simple so the sentiment would stand out.  It was really hard not to add doilies and sequins to these cards!  lol!  I am not a good man-card maker :)

My second card also features some Lawn Fawn goodies!  This one took a turn towards patriotic :)  I love how the map looks in red white and blue though!

The last one is a mix of Lawn Fawn and Avery Elle stamps.  It's also pretty patriotic.  I added a few hearts- hope it's not too girly for him!

It's always fun to get a request for something fun like this!  I hope they like them!

Happy 4th Card

Hello!

Did you have a good weekend?  I did!  I taught classes at Scrapdoodles on Saturday and yesterday was my anniversary!  We spent the whole day outside hiking and relaxing... it was pretty nice!

Today I want to share a fun 4th of July card I made!  I used the new Happy 4th set by Lawn Fawn:

Don't you love those fun fireworks and stars?  I used Stampin' Up! inks in Pool Party, Bermuda Bay, and Real Red for them on my background panel.  I stamped the rocket and both sentiments with Versamark and heat embossed them using white powder.  I embellished with a few clear rhinestones and a bit of red twine from The Twinery as well.

It's still a little early for 4th of July cards but I know with school ending soon, my stamping time will happen less and less!  Lol!  I am really looking forward to summer break though!

Well, hope your week is off to a great start!  Thanks for stopping by to see my card today!
