Shhh, don't spoil the surprise!   I'm making a set of these house cards for my cousin.  She's in real estate.  I want to make her one for every month for two years.

 Art Impressions, little boy fishing from my class with Bonnie Krebs. Dies from assorted companies, Our Daily Bread Designs, Impression Obsession, Diamond Press.

 Not only is does this die set make a pretty card, but it is spectacularly engineered to be not as complicated as it looks!  I love all the details they put  into the design.  This was so much fun to make!!  Diamond Press

 Making flowers seems like the height of creativity to me, and Diamond Press made these so simple to do. I layer them on my pokey tool with a few dots of glue, then top it with a center.  I also love these large sentiment die cuts.  The background die is Lawn Fawn.  Note the background die on the You are loved card and the recessed leaves.  This is a cool background perforated die from DP.

 Happy Birthday, 3 year old!!!  Sizzix, Diamond Press, Our Daily Bread Designs.

 Tea is a thing in my family.  We take our enjoyment of it seriously.  Diamond Press dies, Art Impression stamps and one other (tea cup) that I will need to look up and edit this post.

 Happy Father's Day!
