Sister Floral Grater

Here is another birthday card for my Mom's birthday stash. This image is from Stamp by Judith & Heather. I dry embossed the background and have two ribbons.  I didn't realize how big the stamp was until I went to put it on a 5 inch X 7 inch card and there isn't much room around it.

Ladybug Birthday Wishes

Today at Catch the Bug starts a new Saturday Challenge in which the theme is a BINGO.  For my card, I used part of the 3 Square Floral Thinking of You and the sentiment is from a retired Verve set that I heat embossed. The background has lines and dots which is dry embossed, the photo doesn't show it well. I did some faux stitches.  So I was able to do a white out or complete BINGO card.  My player's choice was a sentiment  I used a Martha Stewart ladybug punch and some ribbon. So go see what the team did and join in. There is a cute bee freebie for the week.

Birthday Wishes Foiled and Embossed

Today I made another birthday card for my stash. I used my new Spellbinder Hot Foil system for the die and sentiment.  I dry embossed the background and then added some lace, ribbon and flowers.  The only green that I could get was on the leaf of the flower embellishment.

Stella and Tide pods

Today at Catch the Bug is Wednesday Humor Me and I chose to celebrate May 12 is International Nurses Day so I used Stella Nursing Better to Give along with my own sentiment. Stella is really sassy with this one!!! And I just happened to have a bottle of Nuvo drops explode for me the other morning at 3am so I happened to have a blob of Nuvo that looks like laundry detergent. lol Truly Coincidence...I think. And please don't eat any pods - it's only a joke!!!

Thank you for your service

Today at Catch the Bug it's a New Release or where an older image is brought into the new shop and this week we have AKV Army Salute and I made my own sentiment. I feel for those in service because I don't think that they can do social distancing and they live in a very different world. As a nurse, I have worked with a lot of vets and I have a lot of respect for them. My son will be finishing his tour in July.
