I am using a Freebie by Trinity from our hop back in 2019..
.link below 

For this card, I printed out the image and sized it to fit my card.
Then, all I had to do was a bit of coloring on the cups..I used my white Posca Marker pen (a new to me discovery) ...The heart paper is from Doodlebugs
I tied some thin jute from PTI around it, then cut a little tag with the same paper!
 
Brown Gift Card Holder


For this card, I watched a Youtube video by Ashley Hughes
YouTube Video
For This shape card I used Trinity Stamps Summertime Sips die
The bottom lifts up to the sentiment inside. It could also hold a gift card, too...
The bow keeps this one closed, but slides off like a belly band.

Blue Faux Shaker Crad

 
I used a dotted stencil and some paste.
Then again with the Summertime Sips die
I added clear card stock over the top for a faux shaker look. I absolutely love this die set. I love the domed lid and the straw. So many options 




Shocker!!

 Another card with Summertime Sips

This time I use some yellows and greens. I did do some color blending with 2 Oxides and Trinity's amazing blending brushes!!

Did I mention the flowers are from Pink & Main?

 I hope you're having fun Hopping with us!

I love how fast this mini slimline card came together
I first printed the image and sentiment together~
as you can see, I just made it with the scalloped die (from Trinity Stamps)
Then I added some color to the cup with a few Copic markers.
What you cannot see very well (because I covered it up) is the pretty shinny paper under the top layer. So I cut out the presents from the paper and added them to the right side of the card front.
AND, that was it.
It was fun and easy

robyn6420@aol.com 
Subject~ FOU Winner
I'll need your mailing address, please
Carla, I have yours 😍
Isn't this the cutest???!!
 



 For this sweet card, I used the bird from the Kit of the Month April 2017 ~ "be my bird"
 I stamped him with Memento black and colored him with a few Copics in a flicking motion to resemble feathers...I'm ok with how he turned out, but, it could have been better..then I fussy cut the entire image. (Yes, it took a good while to do 💪)
 I used pop dots to adhere him to this piece of card stock I had already cut out (Sizzix dies I think)
 The sentiment is from ______ I have no idea which kit I grabbed it from...but, when I figure it out, I will jump back here and add that info for you...sorry, but I do this A LOT!!
 I have a bowl of stamps that need to go back into their kit.
 I have started writing on the backing of that stamp, which kit I got it from...
This card is a 4 1/4 X 4 1/4. A good size for this guy I think.
 
Next up is a little fun!!! 

 





I stamped the flamingo from the Kit of the Month July 2013~"stand tall"~ in Tim Holtz's newest color
 Kitsch flamingo, and picked raspberry..., then used clear embossing powder!! 
SO cute!! 
The frame is from Impression Obsession, and the flowers are from Prima.
 I love using Gina Marie enamel dots, and scatter them on my cards, and I think they are still around $3.00 a sheet. 💖
 
OK, then...that's it from me this month!! 
Thanks for getting all the way to the end!!!
