Happy Heart

Hello and welcome. Today’s card is for our 8-year-old great-grandson. When I saw this silly looking heart I thought it was something an 8-year-old would like. PP was found online, silly heart is computer clip art, corner hearts were punched with a very old small hand punch. Corner hearts are popped up. I fussy cut the silly heart using a small exacto knife on the skinny arms and legs.

Be Mine

Hello and welcome. Today’s card is for our great-granddaughter. Background paper and clip art image were found online but I added the name. Since I didn’t have a die to fit the image, I hand cut it. Sentiment was printed on the computer and punched with Stampin Up’s modern label and word window punches. To make the label smaller after punching it out I stuck it to a piece of paper then moved the punch over and punched again. I hope you can understand how I did that. I’m not good at explaining things in writing.

Be My Valentine

Hello and welcome. My first Valentine card for this year. Background paper is a piece I found in my stash, image is computer clip art. The heart teddy is holding was blank so I added the sentiment before printing the image and Happy Valentine’s Day was printed on the computer. Bear is fussy cut and popped up. I’m pretty happy with the end result and hubby liked it too.

Bernadette’s Birthday

Hello and welcome. Today’s card is for our youngest great-granddaughter. Why do these kids have to grow up so fast?? Background paper was found online, dies used are Spellbinders Classic & Scalloped Circles, number is from the Silhouette, sentiment was printed in my Hallmark card program. Circle is popped up. For the inside I had thought about writing ‘happy birthday’ 5 times but decided to just write the happy 5 times. I used both her full name and nickname on the card because her dad and her maternal grandpa always call her Bernadette but everyone else calls her Bernie.

Birthday Pinwheel

Hello and welcome. Thank you, Double D, for 10 years of fun challenges.

When I found this pp in my stash and realized it was a good match to Stampin Up’s Fresh Freesia cs I thought it would make a pretty pinwheel card. For the embossed layer I used the Argyle ef by Cuttlebug, sentiment was printed on the computer and gems are from my stash. A decorative scissors was used to fussy cut the edges of the sentiment strip. Since I can’t cut a straight line I had hubby cut it.

Thanks for stopping by I really appreciate you your time and any comments you leave. Have a great day and stay healthy & safe.

Incredible Will Power

Hello and welcome. Dear old sisters first chuckle card for 2026. One day she had a notice from the post office that it would be delivered that day, but it never showed up. The next best thing is for her to see it here. Sentiment “If it weren’t for my incredible will power… I’d be exercising right now.” and image were found online. I even found this perfect frame online. This is not the ideal way for her to see it.

Big Hugs

I seem to have acquired a lot of Taylored Expressions Foil-it Insider panels. This is the left over portion of a foiled insider message that I foiled on Gina K Designs polyglaze. A two-for-one!!! My card also includes a stamped and fussy cut image from Inkadinkadoo’s Christmas Characters. TE’s Arched die stacklets were used for my image and shaped card as well as a tone on tone starfall background stamp. A few of my favorite snowflake dies and a stitched hill completes my card. My card will be shared with:

Flying By

Hello and welcome. Like Buddy Gayle, I think it’s time to get going on Halloween cards for 2026. Patterned paper was found online, sky background with flying witch was also found online. Window frame is from the Silhouette and embossed with an ef from The Paper Studio, ghost is an old Sizzix die, spiders are from a die I bought on Amazon. The window frame is popped up with mounting tape. Popping the spiders up was a challenge since they’re so tiny but I managed to cut teeny tiny pieces of Stampin Up’s small dimensionals. Now that I look at it, I think I should have made the ghost a little smaller.

Thanks for stopping by I really appreciate you and your time and any comments you might have. Have a great day and stay healthy & safe.
