I was Thrilled to be invited by my very creative friend, Michele Ferguson
(I Card Everyone) to play on her
Playing Cards with Friends series😄
The simple Rules for June 2023:
Use a fruit on your card: Stamped, Die Cut or Stenciled!
Also: Say Hi or Hello on your card in honor of "Say Hi Day"!
Do read this sweet story😊 You will want to say Hi or Hello everyday and
on a card to join the Playing Cards with Friends Fun!
Thank you again Michele for inviting me to play with you this month💕
I can't wait to see Michele's Card on June 11th😄You will want to see her card too!
I immediately made a card after Michele's invitation,
but could not stop at one...finally chose my 2 favorite Hello cards😂
Hello Wreath Card!
My 2nd card Hello Card!
What do you think? Now for the Deets:-)
My surprise for Michele😄
Do you recognize the die cut Pink Fresh "Lemons and Blueberries Washi Tape"
on both cards, Michele?
You gifted these beautiful fruit filled images to our mutual very dear friend, Leslie
(Running with Scissors). She then shared a few with me and I immediately went
home and created 7 cards using the beautiful die cuts💕
They were so perfect for your June Playing Cards with Friends theme!
I already had made the Group of Seven Cardmakers May 2023
Alcohol Inks on Gelli Plates Technique backgrounds, which I
did not get a chance to post to their blog. I used a 4" circle Gelli plate.
Because of Michele and Leslie I have recently ordered the Pink Fresh
Christmas Poinsettia Washi Tape, Dies and Stamp set on clearance😂
Now I can share💕
I popped up the die cut fruit with craft foam and added the stacked
die cut sentiments and the stamped PF sentiment.
Attached to SU colored cardstock and Done!
Loved the results.
I will post more finished cards in the future.
Thank you again, Michele for our Fun Play day, dear friend💞
Love and Hugs,

Such a beautiful surprise, Nancy!! I had sent extra so Leslie could share them with you - these beautiful lemons and blueberries were a gift to me from our friend, Marcia - they are making a fun journey, aren't they? It was indeed the perfect assignment for us today so you'd have these wonderful cards to share with us all! LOve the AI backgrounds that you make with your fun group. You have found the perfect inks to draw out those colors from the washi.
ReplyDeleteThanks so very much for being my guest today, my friend and for making TWO cards! love and hugs,

Thank you for the invitation and for sharing all the beautiful die cut Washi Tape and stamped sentiments with Leslie, who shared with me:-) So fun being friends..Hugs..
DeleteTwo delightful cards, Nancy. The washi with dies seems to be a thing to share since a roll has so many images. You made great use of your 'gift'.
ReplyDeleteSuch fabulous creations so full of juicy colours and who knew washi could be so versatile both of them are positively mouth watering.
