Summer Fun Card

 Summer! I love summer! So I made a bright and cheerful summer card. :)

Using the Maker's Movement Sweet Summer Paper Pad and the Maker's Movement Summer Stamp & Die Set, I die cut out the shadow of the word summer several times. Then I stamped the word summer from the Maker's Movement Summer Stamp & Die Set using VersaFine Clair in Cheerful and then die cut them out. Then I adhered the two together and then placed the die cuts on my card front how I wanted them.
Once I had them laid out how I wanted them, I then placed a piece of Glad Press'n Seal over them making them stick to the Press'n Seal so they stay in place where I want them. Next, I carefully pulled the die pieces up making sure they were still stuck to the Press'n Seal, and then applied adhesive to the back of the dies and then placed them back down onto my card front.
Then using several of the word stamps from the Maker's Movement Summer Stamp & Die Set, I stamped the words randomly in between the summer dies.

Next, I stamped the Unicorn floaty from the Maker's Movement Just Chillin' Stamp & Die Set and colored it with Copic Markers. Then I die cut the Unicorn out and adhered it to the front of my card with foam squares.

Still Playing With A Full Deck Birthday Card

 Hello! Today I am sharing a fun birthday card with a little bit of snark.

Some of the products I have used in this post have been provided to me by various companies. The opinions I share are solely my own. Affiliate links may be used where possible at no cost to you. However, I do earn a small commission when you click on my links and make a purchase from them. Thank you, and I appreciate your support!

First, I layered up black and red cardstock and then a piece of patterned paper to create my base. Then I added a playing card into the center. For the stamps, I stamped the Crackerbox Stamps Cards in both black and red ink because I couldn't decide which color I wanted them in and then fussy cut them out. Since I couldn't decide which one I liked better I decided to layer them and adhere them with some 3D Foam Squares.

Then I stamped the Crackerbox Stamps Full Deck Set of 2 Sentiments in red and added the sentiment with 3D Foam Squares as well. The cards and sentiment can be purchased separately or as a bundle with the Crackerbox Stamps Full Deck & Cards Set of 3.
This card would make a great masculine birthday card or add some bling to make it a little more feminine.
