Sea Life Dies

 The retired Sea Life dies work so well for

underwater scenes.  In this example, I scribbled on velum with

Stampin Blends, and then spritzed with alcohol.   I cut the

sea life out of a Gold Foil sheet (page 135).  I didn't feel like this

project needed a sentiment, given how well the background

stands out.

Sending Smiles Sailboat

 This card uses several products, including the Sending

Smiles Bundle (pages 14 and 166), and the Sailboat Builder

punch on page 151.  I layered these elements on a piece of

the retired New Horizons DSP (I love this DSP).  

I always need masculine birthday cards, so was happy

with how quickly this one came together.

He's the Man DSP

 The He's the Man 12x12 Specialty Designer Series

paper, on page 132,  is just wonderful.  It has lots of 

masculine patterns, plus two sheets of die cuts that coordinate.

It's an easy way to make a personalized card for someone who

camps, barbecues or likes cars.  For me, this is a must-have

product, given the number of guys in my family.
