Father's Day Card... a bit late

Life has been crazy!!  I have taken the summer off from all design team obligations to focus on projects just for me... and that means less posting, sorry about that.  I have been snapping pics and have a whole bunch to load so hopefully, we can get you inspired again.
This card was made for a special guy's first Father's Day.  I made this card using the amazing layering pieces from Anna Griffin.  I just love LOVE her card kits ... see why!!

Pretty Congratulations

I just can't tell you happy I am to have found these card kits by Anna Griffin... When I need a special card these are my go to pieces.  The way they layer and all coordinate make the cards look so finished and artful, in a very quick... run out the door kind of time!!  Seriously, this card took me less than 3 minutes start to finish!!
I have made so many of them, I am finally starting to see where other products, like Butterbee Scraps metal fits right in.  And of course, every special girl deserves some bling on her big day.

Anna Griffin Card Making

Have you tried these card kits yet??? You can find them on HSN and HOLY COW!!!! They make the nicest, most detailed cards in literally minutes! Now, the kits include perefctly coordinated little bows, but I have to confess, I prefer my Rumple Ribbon from Lovebug Creations. I like to wrap around a card and often like the knot as opposed to a bow. You might see a few more of these in the next few posts because I just LOVE how quickly they come together. This Garden Window set is perfectly matched to the Spring Collection Lovebug

Here is my project for the hop... a little out of the box for me, huh???

I love the play on textures with this heavy stone supported by Lovebug's new sheer ribbon.

I have been meaning to try wire wrapping for a while - not too bad for my first try, I think.

For this kind of ribbon I had just the right closure to hold the ends for the fastener.  Since this one went so well, there just might be more jewelry in my future!
