"Sew" Sweet & Masculine and Feminine

I have a super cute project from one of our new Design Team members who couldn't wait till her day to post to show her first project. Cheryl Walker got her new dies in the mail and went right to work and wanted to show this card - it's "sew" cute don't you think?? This is from the new
Thanks for sharing this with us today Cheryl!



I'm doing a little masculine and a little feminine today for my post. I used the lawn mower die from last years Summer release and the Grass Border die from the Flower Power release to make this card for my brother-in-law who has a birthday this week. I saw this cute little lawn mower pun on Split Coaster Stampers and just had to use it! (We're setting up a gallery on Split Coast Stampers so be sure to check it out.)

For my feminine card I used the same die (Flower w/stem) that Barry used yesterday to create his projects and I almost made mine a poppy as well, glad I chose to make mine pink to show you different ways to use the same die. I also used the Circle w/eyelets die for my sentiment and just trimmed off the top for a different look.
Hope you like these projects today and be sure to stay tuned for some sneak peeks of our upcoming release as well as the My Little Shoebox dies.
Have a great day!

Sign of Summer

Mowing the lawn is a chore my husband absolutely hates. Don't ask me why, considering our teeny lawn area that takes maybe 15 minutes at the most to mow. It usually takes many "gentle" reminders before he'll wheel out the mower, but this time I nearly fell over when he did it on his own without any prodding whatsoever from me! Go hubby! I keep telling him it's the little things that make me happy...but I guess to him, the mowing is a big thing. Oh well.

Now on to the details. Let it first be known that he doesn't even know I got these pictures. LOL Pattern papers on this page are October Afternoon, Farm Fresh. One of my faves, but most everything OA is a fave really.


I used the Cottage Cutz lawn mower cuz, well, how could I not for these pics!?? I used the grass from the pumpkin scarecrows and you can see I "trimmed" the grass behind the mower. Hee hee!


For my subtitle, I used one of the flags from the plain pennant die. The top of the flagpole is the dot for the 'i' that I didn't use with the letter.



And the main title banner is done using both the plain pennant and the pinking pennant dies. These are both must-haves for layering. Super cute! I popped the letters with foam tape, and added tiny buttons to the twine for even more dimension.


These pennants have endless possibilties. Great for party invites, thank you cards, birthday or any celebratory occasion. How cute would it be to make a mini banner for a bake sale table at church, or lemonade stand in the summer...endless. :)

Thanks for coming by today. I hope you'll be inspired to create a fun banner for one of your projects this week!
