Bremertown Musician Card

3 1/2 x 4 black rectangle
2 1/8 x 2 3/4 black rectangle
3 1 x 3 3/4 rectangles

I used a clip art image and added some Pearl Pen dots.  The lighter colored strip was embossed with a Cuttlebug folder.

So far today...

I cleaned house!  Not something I do a lot of since there's just me and Fred here.  But my house is cleaner than it's been in years since we just finished our remodeling projects and got new floor coverings so I'm trying to keep it that way!  LOL!

We have some long time friends coming to visit in June and for once, I don't want to have to kill myself cleaning and straightening up for two days before they arrive! 

I enjoyed looking around at Splitcoast Stampers for a while in between loads of laundry and got inspired to do these two simple cards.  They're blank inside and that way they can be used for any purpose.

This card has Botanical Blooms stamp on it from SU.  I used an overstamping technique on it.  The scalloped edge is a SU punch, sentiment is computer generated and punched with the SU Word Window punch.

Another Botanical Blooms card.  The sentiment is from SU.

This is one of a series of cards that I made using the same three papers.  I had found a drawing on Splitcoast Stampers with the dimensions to stack and cut three sheets of 12 x 12 paper and get multiple cards from them.

This card turned out prettier in person that it appears in the photo.  I used SU punches for the scallop, circle and heart.  The red, white, and black combination is one that I enjoy using.

The image is a digital image of a SU stamp.  The diagonal cut on the paper was done with a shaped blade.   As you can tell, I've started putting my cards inside acetate sleeves.  The sleeve holds an A2 sized card with envelope and opens up so that the sentiment inside can be read.  This way the cards stay clean when being shipped and handled once they arrive to an overseas unit.

This one actually has some Cricut cuts on it!  I used a Cuttlebug folder on the turquoise solid paper to add some texture and then used the Signo pen to do some dots on the letters and hearts.

The next gallery that I'm going to post is going to feature CHERRIES!  I love my cherry paper and stamps and am trying to use them without running out of the paper.  It's always hard to use the last sheet of a a paper that I really like.
