Masculine Cards for the VA Hospital

The Cards For A Cause Challenge for April at Splitcoast Stampers is to make cards for the VA Medical Center.  They are asking for thank you, congrats, birthday and general every day type cards.  I printed all the pieces, then cut out the card base, wood grain layers, antique auto, saying and stars using my Cameo and printable patterns and cut files from the Silhouette store.  Ovals were cut out with Spellbinders dies.

First flip flop flower card

While going through some boxes in my craft room, I found a full package of Bazzill purple textured card stock.  Need a few more cards to fill up the package for the children's charity so I cut out this flip flop card using my Cameo and some cut files form the Silhouette store.  Corners were cut out with EK Success punch.  Added some pearls to the flower centers.

Purple Butterfly Card

Found a full package of Bazzill with 5 shades of  purple textured card stock that I bought a long time ago and forgot about. Instead of putting it back in the drawer, I decided it was time to use some of it.  I cut out this card with my Cameo and a cut file I found at the Silhouette store.  Assembled all the layers, then added a few gems to form the body of the butterfly.

Your the cat's meow

I was the lucky winner of some digi images from Di's Designs.  As one of my prizes, I selected this darling precolored image called Plant Pot Kitty. The talk bubble and saying were cut out with my Silhouette Cameo using a cut file I found at the Silhouette store.  Polka dot papers are from a paper pack called Icing On The Cake by Wild Rose Studios.  Used Spellbinders dies to cut out the image and background layer and MFT die to cut the scalloped border.  This is for the Cards For Hospitalized Kids Charity.

4th holiday card for 2016

I need to make a lot of holiday cards for the various charities I contribute to, so I'm making a few each month.  This vintage looking Santa is a graphics file I found a few years ago at the Lettering Delights store.   I printed the image, then cut out the Santa image by hand.  Cut out the HO HO HO saying banner with my Cameo.  Red layer was cut out with a Spellbinders die and small dots with a EK Success punch.  Holiday patterned papers are scraps that were left over from other projects I made last year.  This is going in the November box for the Cards For Hospitalized Kids Charity.

Birthday Card #2 for the VA Hospital

The Cards For A Cause Challenge at Splitcoast Stampers this month is to create cards for the VA Hospital to give to their patients.  They are requesting birthday, thank you, congratulations and general theme cards.  I am in my comfort zone when I  make cards for kids and cutesy stuff, but I always struggle when making cards for men.  So I kept this simple and made a CAS card using a precolored digi image called Slugger Sam from Dr Digi's House Of Stamps.   I used the Silhouette Studio software to arrange the image, add the saying and cut out the image with my Silhouette Cameo.
