wish big

Hi everybody! I hope you’re having a great week – it’s all good here with absolutely no complaints! The hubs started this year’s garden several months ago and tends to it several times a day. We live in a rural area and we’re not close to a farmer’s market, so this is the second year in a row that he’s grown our veggies, and they are SO good! Thankfully he has green thumbs!

I really appreciate your support! Our new challenge is live this morning over at Love To Craft Challenge Blog and I’m super stoked to share my DT inspiration project for LTCCB #60 – July Anything Goes! The cut file I used for this awesome birthday card was in the CanvasWorkspace Project/Pattern Collection, and when I saw it I just had to make a colorful one!

I cut the card base from Neenah Classic Crest 80# Solar White cardstock and the rest of the pieces from CutCardStock Stardream Metallic 105# Amethyst, Aquamarine and Lagoon cardstock; CutCardStock Pop-Tone 65# Tangy Orange and Razzleberry cardstock; CutCardStock Basis 80# Dark Purple and Basis Orange; CutCardStock 80# Granny Smith cardstock; and The Paper Studio Four Seasons and Everything In Between -2- paper pad. The fun part is always assembling and watching the project come together, and this card was no exception! Using CUTplorations Skinny Sentiments, I die cut the sentiment from CutCardStock Basis Gold cardstock. The finishing touch was adding several tiny iridescent gemstones.

I cut the inside panel from Neenah Classic Crest 80# Solar White cardstock and embellished it with a leftover strip of the patterned paper used on the front. I found this hilarious rubber stamp among my Great Impressions stamps so I stamped it in Catherine Pooler Serenade ink and layered it on a larger piece of the patterned paper.

And one more peek… SO loving how this turned out! I’m all about colors and this sure fits the bill!
