SunKissed Layout

     Graphic 45's "Sun Kissed Collection" is used here to scrap some Destin Beach pictures.



     An unusually shaped tag is made using two stickers from the coordinating sticker sheet. The "Set Sail" and "Fun in the Sun" tags are from the pattered paper. All three buttons from the sticker sheet were matted and ivory seam binding added .





     A faux postcard was made using one of the 4 x 6 pictures. I place acetate over the picture, then used Stazon to stamp a postmark. I mounted a stamp sticker on a stamp die cut. The collage under the picture is made up of fussy cut images, mounted stickers, a bottle cap, a button with seam binding, and a couple small sea shells.




     For the title I used a journaling card cut from the patterned paper. Another collage under this consists of matted stickers, burlap flower, a punched button, purchased flower, and a sea shell.

     I trimmed a 1/2 inch ecru strip with fish tail cuts at each end and placed several banners across it. I used a strip from the patterned paper "Building Sand Castles and Memories" over the top of it. I finished it off with more flowers.

Vintage Cars

     I put this card together yesterday for a friend from our dinner group that is celebrating a birthday. 
     I started with one of Lili of the Valley's trio stamp sets. The car on the front flap is part of an older Lili of the Valley stamp called "Toot Toot". I colored the front of the card from that one and placed it on a vintage map mat.

Card and Envelope

     Previously, I have always made cube-shaped box cards and I have cut them on the trimmer and scored them myself. I purchased this box card die from Stamps of Life. I believe it is fairly new. I particularly liked working with it, because it makes larger mats on the front flap and back of card. There is also more room to spread out the goodies that are going in the box. Usually the side flaps (which are now smaller) are secondary anyway.


     Clocks and gears are always good filler for masculine cards so I added a few of those. I also used these on the side flaps.


Back of Card
     I always decorate the back of my box cards with scraps that are left on the table.

Envelope
     I die cut Tim Holtz's "Jalopy" for the envelope. The stamp giving it motion is a flourish from a floral stamp set.
