Fresh Air Cards for Joyful Stars July Blog Hop

Welcome to the Joyful Stars July Blog Hop.  I'm so glad you are able to join us today.  If you have come from  Michelle's Blog, then you are on the right track.  It is a circular hop so you can start anywhere and when you get back to the first blog, you will know you have seen all the blogs. If you get lost along the way, you can find a list of participants on Joyce's Blog.  Today I have cards that were made using the beautiful Fresh Air Paper packet.  The are both 5 x 7 cards.  I made them larger to accommodate the Thin Cut Alpha Letters.  They are great on cards or titles for your scrapbook pages.

The first one is a Father's Day card. 


The second one is a version of it with just a few changes.


I just love this paper pack.  It is very versatile and can be used for just about every type of outdoor event.

Now it is time to hop on over to Joyce Gough's Blog to see her creation.

Masculine Birthday Card

Hope you are enjoying this summer weather - or at least tolerating it well!  Today I have a card I made recently for my teenage nephew's birthday.  So I wanted something masculine and not childish. 
I used the CTMH retired "Happy" thin cut and cut the birthday using the CTMH Artistry font. The striped paper was made using the Shin Han markers by making free hand stripes.  The colors are Peacock, and the retired Whisper and Slate.
