    Happy Retirement!

    Hi Everyone! Priscilla here from Nubble Light Designs. Today I am sharing a summertime retirement card. So timely as I have just  retired from a 15 year teaching career, so consequently this summer means extra beach time and sun!

    But First . . . 

    CHRISTMAS IN JULY SALE!

    For the background of my card, I used the Under The Sea Coverplate Die by Kat Scrappiness to create a coral colored ocean background adhered over a light blue layer of card stock.

     

     

    To create the sandy beach I used the sand die included in the Summer Fun Essentials Dies by Kat Scrappiness and sponged it with Distress Oxide Ink before lightly splattering it with white acrylic paint.

    The beach bag (from the same die collection) was stamped  with “Happy Retirement” – part of the Happy Day stamp set.

     

    I added 3 enamels dots for the finishing touch.

     

    And More Sales!

  • Happy Father’s Day

    Happy Father’s Day

     

    Hello all! I’m up on the Kat Scrappiness blog today with a mini slimline card featuring lots of new goodies from the new release! Since Father’s Day is coming up soon I decided to make a card using some of the fun beachy elements from the new Summer Fun Essentials Dies.  I’m in love with those cute flip flops and for this card I cut them out of burlap to give them a more rugged masculine look. I also used distressed a couple of starfish to match the theme!

    I also used the brand new Lumber Yard Slimline Paper Pad for the first layer on my card base and then I cut another layer out of cream colored card stock using the largest die from the
    MINI Slimline Zig Zag Dies.
    And now for the star of the show, the Happy Father’s Day Word Dies With Shadow! I just love how the addition of the shadow layer behind the words really makes the sentiment stand out! I used the Lumber Yard Slimline Paper Pad for the shadow layer behind the card. To add some extra interest to the card I added some Espresso Pearl Mix because why not?!

    Here’s one more look at today’s card with all of the supplies used.
