Sailing Home for the 4th

Some of my family lives in Duluth Minnesota, where

there are a number of lighthouses.  For the 4th, the fireworks

are shot over the harbor, and a large lighthouse museum. 

It is a spectacular display, and inspiration for this card.

I used the lighthouse from the Sailing Home set on page 31.

The lighthouse was run through the Subtle 3D Embossing 

Folder (page 185), to add texture,  and mounted on a 

layer cut out with the Ornate Layers Dies on page 177.

I didn't feel the need to add a sentiment, because the 

Ornate Layers Dies are pretty "busy" as is.

Nothing's Better with Love You More Dies

Here's another card using the Nothing's Better Than bundle on 

page 91.  It is comprised of the Nothing's Better Than stamp set

and Love You More Dies, on page 176.  This is such an easy

bundle to create with.  It's perfect for drinkers, whatever 

their "poison".  

Nothing's Better

There is a story behind this card.  My mother is

moving.  She still has her refrigerator and a toaster oven.

She has discovered that she can make a small batch of

cookies, with store bought cookie dough. She's had the toaster oven, but never used it very much.   Each time we talk on

the telephone, she giggles about how many batches she

has made, or how she didn't have time to cook them

and just ate the dough.  I did mention that she may

complicate things, because we will not be sure if she

has COVID, or is sick on cookie dough.

I had to send her a card, made with the Nothing's Better

set and coordinating Love You More Than dies (page 176).

This is my favorite new catty set because it is funny,

and I have family members who fit many of the sentiments.  

I ran some Velum Cardstock thru a Stitched Rectangles Die

and the Pacific Point layer through the Absolutely Argyle

Embossing Folder (page 184).
