I live in Southern California and during summer the hubby and I mainly head out to Newport Beach, Huntington Beach, Long Beach, and Santa Monica Beach where we enjoy the ocean and the clear blue skies ♥ This was the inspiration for my card. 

Here are the deets on the card. 

The boat is from the B is for Boy Lite cartridge. The waves are from Life's a Beach cartridge. 

Yup, you're seeing one of Joy's NEW stamps! The sentiment is from Joy's new set, Pun in the Sun! 

 The boat is on some zots for extra dimension. I added some stitching and doodling on the card. The face on the sail is from Peachy Keen's Happy Lashes set. The cloud patterned paper is from Echo Paper's Hello Summer 6x6 paper pad.

sweet wishes

Hello peeps!

This week we are showcasing birthday projects over at Joy's Life's DT blog. 

I created a card since birthday cards are a must in my stash! 

This cupcake is from the Simply Charmed cartridge.  

If you're like me and don't own all of Joy's stamps -YET, you can improvise! 

All of the stamp sets are very versatile! 

I created "sweet wishes" by masking "summertime" from the original sentiment "sweet summertime wishes" from the Sweet Popsicle Puns set.

Here's the inside of the card. 

 Again, I used the masking technique to get the perfect sentiment. 

"Happy" is from "Happy Bird-day" from the Wild Life Puns set and "Birthday" is from "It's Past-ure Birthday" from the Barnyard Puns set. 

I added Yellow Stickles to the outer layer of the flame and Spiced Marmalade Distress Stickles on the inner part of the flame. The twine is Posy Pink and Blue Berry from Trendy Twine. 

The face on the cupcake is from Peachy Keen's Happy Lashes set. 

I put the cupcake on two layers of foam tape to give it dimension. I also inked around the patterned paper with Tim Holtz Vintage Photo Distress Ink. 

Thank you so much for looking and check out Joy's Life's DT blog for more birthday inspiration here!

Best Buddies card

Hello everybody! I'm super excited because this is my first post for Joy's Life! 

The theme for this week is to create a Father's Day project. I decided to create a card. 

 The cut of the man with the child is from Summer Celebrations cartridge (I'm really liking this cartridge!)

 "best buddies" is from Joy's Life's Sweet Popsicle Puns. 

Here's a look at the inside of the card. 

This sentiment is actually made up of two stamps, both from Joy's Life's Sweet Popsicle Puns.

"you're one of a kind" and "best pops ever" 

I masked "best" and "ever" from the second sentiment and added it to "you're one of a kind" to create this one. This set is so versatile! 

I inked around most of the papers with Vintage Photo distress ink. 

Thank you so much for looking and don't forget to stop by Joy's Life Design Team blog!
