Flowers and a Foiled Hexagon

 Good morning!

Today I have a quick post before I head to last minute prepping for our end-of-year campout.

Today's card will feature two new-to-me products, the hot foil hexagons and another set of flower dies, because I just couldn't put them away without use to await another year, plus a few snippets used.  Oh!  And I used the colors from over at the MFT challenge.

How about that shine?  Wow, I love the polished brass foil that I used, it just pulled an extra warmth into the card.  The hexagon and sentiment were hot foiled all at once, yep I beat the odds of something ending up wonky!  But doesn't that hexagon just make the perfect wreath-like base?

While these flowers are new, they are similar in some ways to this card.

This card will go to NBUS #54, Triple B: September and Snippets Playground #463.

Supplies:

   EH - Essential Hexagon foil plates (NBUS)

   SB - Mini Blooms & Springs (NBUS)

   PF - Fancy Script Words

Thank you for the visit, have a GREAT weekend and I'll see you around!

Hugs,

Mom

 Welcome!

It's a partially clear day outside, the birds are chirping and Spring is unleashing its colors -- a great day to post a card from Mom.  I don't know about you, but my mom is a flower enthusiast, perpetual green thumb and lover of all things garden.  In time things have changed, but her enthusiasm remains!  While this card is for Hubbs' mom, she too is thankful and appreciative of all that the Lord blesses us with.  With that, this card was born ~

A new pack of flower dies, a VERY old tag die and a whole lot of snippets allowed me to pull this cared together rather easily.  The flowers and the woodgrain were all snippets of past projects, kept for another day, another project and today's the day!

I was inspired by:  CTD741, Snippets #453 and Four Seasons: Spring.

Supplies:

   Spl:  Be Bold Blooms

   PTI:  My Mother, My Friend + die

   

I hope your world has sprung to life in living color!

Hugs,

TK

Congratulations on your Retirement

 Hello, and welcome!

Today's card was for my boss who will retiring.  While his retirement is not official until the end of June, he will burning up his vacation bank, out of office (how fun is that?)!

Here is his card ~

Mr Happy to the rescue!  A bit of stamping, foiling, coloring and die cutting using two tones of gray, and this cutie was delivered!

A close-up of the bold blue foiling ~

While it doesn't look like it with all the weird camera angles, the blue on Mr Happy's hat and the foiling all match really well.  This will be going over to Snippets Playground #451, all for the snippets of paper used except the actual card base, and NBUS #49, for the NBUS stamp and stripey foiling plate, and I totally missed the MFT Sketch this was taken inspiration from.

 

Supplies:

   St Bella - Gnomes Have Feelings Too (NBUS)

   SB - Modern Lines foiling plate (NBUS)

Thank you for the visit, and I pray that everyone is staying safe from recent weather and healthy!

Hugs,

TK
