Happy 4th Car Decals Girl -My Craft Spot Challenge

Hello everyone, I hope you have your sparklers ready for the 4th of July, they were always one of my favorite fireworks during this holiday, I used to swirl them around and write my name with the sparks... such great memories!
Today is another fantastic challenge at My Craft Spot 
#62 4th of July and Canadian Day
 Happy Canada Day yesterday to my Canadian friends!

Here is my cute little independence day girl enjoying the holiday and her paper windmills. She is cut from the Car Decals cricut cartridge, the little star on her shirt is cut from George and Basic Shapes cartridge.
The sentiment is from My Craft Spot's Sweet Sentiments set #1 stamps, I also used Blueberry Divine Twine, both can be purchase from My Craft Spot -HERE.

Love these little windmills, I show how I made them in the video.

Stars were a retired Stampin' Up punch. Border is punched from a Recollections Border Punch.

Roller Skate Shape Card

Hello everyone I have a fun shape card for you today....
When I was a little girl we had those old metal roller skates that you would adjust the size and attach to your shoes with leather straps... does anyone remember those? Similar to the photo below, well that dates me I'm sure. :)
My card is cut from the Birthday Bash Cricut cartridge, and this shape card is an actual shape card in the handbook, no need to weld the images together.
This great Happy Birthday sentiment is from My Craft Spot's Birthday Wishes clear stamps, and the twine is Blueberry you can fine these items in Kimberly's shop -HERE.
Below is a video... enjoy
Rolled Rose and Royal leaves metal dies (die-namics) are from My Favorite Things and can be found -HERE.
 The inside sentiment is from the same stamps set Birthday Wishes.
 
Thanks for visiting... have a fantastic day!

Thinking of You Island of Palm Trees Card

Hello everyone,
Today I got to post a design team feature post over at My Craft Spot, this is my "Thinking of you" Island of palm trees card.
I used Kimberly's Inside & Out -Set #2 stamp set for the sentiments on the outside and the inside of the card. This is a great versatile stamp set for many occasions and if you like to add words to the inside of the card as well as the outside it's perfect! You can find the stamp set -HERE
Below is a video of how I made this card...

I used the cricut cartridge Life Is a Beach for the images, the cloud image is from the Everyday Paper Dolls cartridge. I added inking to all the edges with the Tim Holtz Vintage Photo or Tea Dye ink pads, and for the clouds I used Jenny Bowlin Soap Powder ink.

I adding a hint of stitching using my sewing machine on the "thinking of you" tab and the waves.
