Coolest Day with Amy

Hi, it’s Amy @craftee1. My project was inspired by the newest Inspired by Challenge: Poolside

I was inspired by the theme + colors. My card features the following Lawn Fawn products:

  • Flamingo Floatie | lawn cuts
  • Build-a-Bunny | lawn cuts
  • Build-a-Bunny accessories | lawn cuts
  • Secret Garden Window | lawn cuts
  • Simply Summer Sentiments | stamp

I also squeezed in these products:

  • Waffle Flower – Happy Circles Texture | die
  • Spellbinders – Suds & Buds | 3D embossing folder

I used the following Concord & 9th cardstock:

  • Watermelon
  • Buttercup
  • Aqua Sky

The sentiment has been heat embossed in white on a black cardstock strip. I used the Spellbinders Suds & Buds 3D embossing folder for a tiled ground. I love how the Happy Circles Texture reminds me of water drops.

If you were following me last year, you might remember that I did a call out for Birthday cards for my former Mother-in-law’s 99th birthday. I’m doing it again for her 100th birthday that is in August. In honor of this fantastic woman, I want to send her a total of 100 birthday cards. I’d love for my papercrafting friends to contribute one of their card designs. Here’s how it will work:

  • I’m collecting birthday cards until August 1st
  • I’m asking that cards are sent directly to me so that I can make weekly visits with a handful of cards to share with the birthday queen.
  • When I receive your card, I’ll link it up with your name in a separate post – details to come.
  • BONUS: I will draw five random cards and those designers will receive a $20 Gift card to their choice of one of these shops:
    • Altenew
    • Brass & Bliss Craft Co – US Shipping only
    • Catherine Pooler
    • Doodlebugswa – US Shipping only
    • Hero Arts
    • Simon Says Stamp
    • Spellbinders

Help me to celebrate this fabulous lady!

Yes, I designed today’s card especially for her birthday. I’m designing a small stockpile of birthday cards for her for my non-crafty friends and family. Although I believe that everyone is crafty in their own way.

I can’t wait to see how you’re inspired!

Thanks for stopping by!
