Good Morning. I hope you had a beautiful & safe 4th of July filled with colorful & fun celebrations! We had a wonderful day together with some friends & are so thankful to ALL the men & women who have made, make & will make that possible for us, as a country, to celebrate our Independence Day. May God continue to bless YOU & your families, daily, it IS truly the ultimate sacrifice, whether giving life, limb or time, YOU ALL ARE HEROES, and I thank you from the depths of my soul!
Today, I would like to share with you the rest of the cards created with the July CupCards To Go Card Kit. A kit, that ALL the designers, fell head over heels for. A kit, I know will be LOVED whether you have birthdays to create for, anniversaries, celebrations, or just fun little notecards, this kit is so FUN, thank you Sonda. If you haven't seen the gallery filled with all the gorgeous colors, embellies & trims from the kit, you can view all the DT creations HERE.
The first card I would like to share with you is the "specialty card" that was in the kit this month. This is a GROCERY SACK card. So cuuuuuute. I stitched the sides up, decorated front & back & created handles so as to insert a gift card to a favorite store for someone special.
A little something for the birthday girl card
It was sweet Sonda's birthday this month & we, all, decided to create a card from our kit for her special day. As soon as I saw this gorgeous ribbon, I KNEW I wanted to create her birthday card with it.
Sonda's birthday card
Do you see this FUN "sucker/lollipop" stamp from Unity Stamp Co.?
Giggle....it's actually this candle stamp from Unity Stamp Co.
My kids love these twisty lollipops that you can buy at the amusement parks. They usually don't even buy one but they love to look at all the colors & designs, so the minute I saw the stamp in the kit this month, it reminded me of those lollipops & I set out to try to create one with it. This is a "mom-friendly" twirly lollipop, NO mess, NO cavities....giggle
July '09 Sketch
Best Wishes Butterfly Card
And a "fluttering" envelope to get it there...
I LOVE mini cards, especially to use up scraps. They are perfect to stick in lunch boxes, gifts, or for gift cards. This one is a 3" x 3 1/2" mini card.
