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.

Thanks for stopping by I really appreciate you taking the time. Have a great day and stay healthy, safe & warm.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Hello and welcome. Today’s card is for my b-i-l. I found the headline page online and in my Hallmark card program I was able to add his photo and name. Inside sentiment “Happy 90th! You’ve officially reached vintage status.” was found online. I think he’ll especially like seeing what things cost back then.

Happy New Year. While our daughter was here between Christmas and New Years, she wanted me to help her make a couple cards. I love playing in my craft room with her.

The first one is to welcome her first grandchild, due in June. She looked through baby cards on Pinterest to get an idea of what she wanted to make. Pp was in my stash, onesie is from the Silhouette, ef is from Sizzix, letters are from a very old Sizzix alphabet die set. She found the piece of lace and ribbon in my drawer.

The second card is for her son-in-law. Again, she looked through Pinterest to find a design she liked. Pp was just the right size piece in my stash, dies are stitched squares by Die-namics, ef used for the center strip is from Sizzix. Sentiment was printed on the computer. I cut everything, but she put them all together.

Hello and welcome. Today’s card is for one of our grandson-in-law’s. Last summer he went big game hunting in Africa and shot a kudu, so I thought what better image to find for his birthday card. Image and background frame were both found online, brown frame is Spellbinders Classic Rectangles. I added the sentiment before printing the patterned frame. I think he’s going to like this.
