Our New card Swap

For our 2nd Card Swap - due in July, There are Five of us in this fun swap.  We are doing these 4 different categories and make 5 cards of each one. 

Flower - Baby - Birthday - Congrats

I am working on my first one today and I chose the Flower Card.  I am using the Country Life Cartridge.  I love the little Pitcher of flowers on that cart so lets see what it comes out like.  I used a 4 1/4" X 5 1/2" card base.  I cut out all of the layers, including the shadow layer at 5".  I used the Martha Stewart Corner Punch -Optic Dot on the card liner.

Country Life - Father's Day Tri-fold Card

I just finished a Father's Day Card for my Husband who is a dairy Farmer.  This is my first Tri-Fold or Shutter Card, I loved it!  I also love this Country Life Cartridge.  What a fun card to make.  I wanted to incorporate something about him into his card this year.  I think I managed it with this one...lol.

I entered this card in the Quick Cards men's challenge over at CardmakingandPapercraft.com.   I used the Country Life Cart for the Farmer, the Milk bottle ( used black sticker letters for word milk), the Cow, the Grass and the Farm Fresh.  I used Wild Card Cart for the Happy Father's Day Phrase.  I used Essentials for the scallop border.  Also I chose my background paper's from My Mind's Eye - Bohemia Stack.

I got my inspiration for this card from a video I watched on you tube from Janice at Cricutology.  Her's is done in a Nautical theme, which I also love. 

We have some Birthday's coming up this month so I think I will do another Tri-Fold card this morning if I have time with a Fishing theme.
