It's Word Week at Just Us Girls and Vicki is our hostess and has chosen a perfect summer word, Water!

Hop on over to JUGS to see what our amazing Guest Designer, Donna Mikasa and the rest of our talented Design Team have created with Water.

Started with a piece of watercolor paper and just kept adding various watercolors and inks for the variation in blues.  Cut a piece off of a cover plate die for the waves.  Die cut the sailboat coloring with alcohol ink markers and leaving the sails white.  Snipped a piece of red cardstock for the little flap on top of the mast.  Die cut a blue banner die and layered onto red, putting it all together on a white card base.

Summer to me is more golf!  This sassy golfer is from Art Impressions.  Stamped the image then paper pieced her visor and skort.  Colored with a combination of alcohol markers, Prismacolor pencils and some gel pen.  Die cut the image with a rectangle die as well as the teal and green layers.  Stamped the sentiment in Memento Pine Green and die cut with a banner die.

I think this is our last Grad party for this year.  Stenciled the stars with Memento Luxe yellow ink on a linen card base.  Stamped the sentiment in Memento navy ink.  Die cut a couple of layered stars in yellow and glitter paper then colored the glitter star with a blue alcohol ink marker.  I always try to make grad cards in the school colors and this year I had 2 that were blue and gold and the other was blue and white.

 It's time for our Moodboard Week at Just Us Girls and Vicki has chosen a beautiful scene for our inspiration.

Hop on over to JUGS to see how this inspired our Guest Designer, Joanne James and the rest of our amazing Design Team.

I was drawn to the poppies and the blue of the sky and water.  Inked a striped embossing folder with blue ink and ran it through my Big Shot.  I've had these poppies for a long time and now am finally using them from Concord & 9th.  Stamped the poppies in Memento Morrocco and DI Aged Mahagony, die cut with the matching dies and added black glaze pen in dots to the centers.  Die cut some stems from another set in green.  Die cut the unknown tag and stamped the sentiment with more Morrocco.  Die cut a little bow from another unknown set and colored with alcohol ink pen.  Put it all together on a white linen card base.

Still grad season here.  The background was stenciled with yellow stars on this mini slimline card.  Added a couple of die cut stars and a die cut banner with the sentiment heat embossed with yellow ep.  Had a little boo boo on the lower edge of the card, so I added a couple of blue striped pieces to the top and bottom edges.

This month their is a 5th Thursday, so it's CASE a DT Week at Just Us Girls.! Who will inspire you to CASE them?

Hop on over to JUGS to see what our amazing Design Team have created this week and pick one out to CASE.

Since it is graduation time and I needed a few cards for the occasion, it was a perfect opportunity to get this card done.  This one is pretty simple.  Inked up a striped embossing folder with some blue ink and ran it through my Big Shot.  Die cut a large star from some white linen cardstock and then die cut the 2025 with a Concord & 9th set from both blue and white glitter cardstock.  It's hard to see, but the outline of the numbers is the glitter cardstock.
