Good morning!
It’s the last day of the month and the year is half over. How did that happen so quickly?!
I made a ton of cards this month and didn’t get the chance to blog them all so I’m sharing them in one post to finish June.
This one was for my husband’s birthday a few weeks ago. I used Sketch #273 at Sweet Sunday Sketch. The adorable bunny is from The Cat’s Pajamas. The baseball themed card went with his baseball themed gift of a Yankees t-shirt AND game tickets for us to see the Yankees play my team, The Boston Red Sox, at Yankee Stadium in early August.
The next two cards are sympathy cards that I had to send out early in the month.
This first one used Sketch #272 at Sweet Sunday Sketch and my go-to set, Forever in Our Hearts, from Verve Stamps. I also used some ancient Basic Grey papers.
This last card used Sketch #364 from Techno Stamper. I inked up Stampin’ Up!’s Lovely as a Tree for the first time. I feel like it was a rite of passage to finally use this long time favorite of many SU stampers.
I’ve gotta go get ready for my last day of work before my mini break! Hopefully lots of crafting will be happening over the next 5 days.

Wonderful cards! I love the colors and papers you chose on these! Perfect embossing on the tree card. I need to get a wood grain embossing folder…
Thanks so much for sharing!

I love them all. I think my favorite is the green and brown sympathy card. I really like that image of the tree you used.

Great cards Kristie – I too love the Tree stamp set – it was one of my first purchases, ever. I am not a super SU fan, but love this set.
