HA Daisies Clocks thanksabunch Card

Had not done heat embossing on a pattern piece of paper before so was nervous as to how it would look. Stamped the one Daisy & sentiment with VersaMark and heat embossed with Lawn Fawn white embossing powder. I liked the way I placed the sentiment in one of the clocks. Then thought since the sentiment uses the word 'bunch' I needed more than one flower so I stamped & heat embossed another flower. Added the twine and gems to complement the color & flower scheme.




























      Supplies List  

embossing: Lawn Fawn white emb powder 

gems: flowers

Hero Arts: stamp - Hello Sunshine Daisies

ink: VersaMark

paper:  cardstock - tan   scrapbook - Clocks

HA Sunflower Bee HaveAFabulousDay/Mother's Day Card

My husband had found a jar of springs and I had the idea of using a spring for a Bee on a card.

Used 2 different Hero Arts sets. Used one HA stamp/die set for Sunflower & Bee. Used another HA stamp for sentiment. Card can bee used for Mother's Day or another occasion.
Paper pieced the Sunflower. Used glossy accents to attach spring to card but also pushed the spring thru cardstock layer and tied it down so it would bee more secure. Used stickles for sparkle.

Simon RadGrad #2 Grad Card for Daughter

My daughter received her Bachelor's degrees in Animation & Art History from Kansas City Art Institute KCAI in KC, Missouri in May 2014. She returned home to live with us (welcomed her since I missed her while she was away) and worked at Star Bucks and did free lance animation work for a CA company while living at home here. She started Master's Animation program at University of Texas at Dallas in 2015. In 2015 she began working as an intern in the quality assurance division for a company, GearBox, that creates games for gaming devices. 6 mths later she was made a contractor in the art/animation dept at GearBox. In 2017 she was hired full-time (they counted her intern & contractor time towards her full-time) salary at Gearbox. In May of this year 2018 she will receive her Master's degree in Animation from University of Texas at Dallas UTD. As part of her Master's program project she published a book on Animation. I have seen my daughter in a cap & gown 5 times (pre-school, Kindergarten, 8th grade, high school, KCAI) and look forward to seeing her once again wear a cap & gown. We are so proud of her! You can see many of her artwork creations on my blog right sidebar.
