Hello and welcome. Getting a little jump on my Christmas cards this year. Background paper was found online, center die cut is Stitched Squares by Die-namics. Center Christmas tree is computer clip art, sentiment was printed in my Hallmark card program. For my fractured cards I usually cut the strips 1/4″ but since I wanted both red & green each strip is 1/8″.

Hello and welcome. Today’s card inspired from JUGs word week, Fruit, challenge. Strawberry frame was found online then I added the sentiment in my Hallmark program. Corner strawberries are computer clip art, fussy cut and popped up. Easy peasy.

Hello and welcome. Oh yeah, time again for dear-old-sister’s chuckle of the month. Card base is textured cs, sentiment “Do you believe in the hereafter? Absolutely. Every time I go into a room I wonder what am I here after.” Image was also found online, and I added the word bubbles and sentiment in my Hallmark program. Stitched frame is Stitched Framelits by Stampin Up. D-o-s said she’s always in the hereafter…. me too.

Hello and welcome. I just love making Halloween cards.

Background paper was found on scrapbooks.com, witch is computer clip art, die cut rectangles are no name dies bought on Amazon, sentiment was printed in my Hallmark card program. Center pink strip was cut with my antique paper trimmer and lightly sponged with black stamp pad. Pumpkin border is an EK border punch. It doesn’t show in the photo, but I did add a little Wink of Stella to the border.

Hello and welcome. After seeing this video https://lisasstampstudio.com/2024/12/the-best-card-layout-for-beginner-card-making.html on Pinterest I just had to try making one.

Papers are from Stampin Up, stamp used is from Stampin Up’s Butterfly Basics., ef used is Divine Swirls by Cuttlebug, ribbon from my stash. Bottom flower was fussy cut from a left-over piece of the pp. As you can see, the sentiment didn’t come out real solid. With the arthritis in my hands even with using the Mini Misti I can’t apply enough pressure, plus, I think my Basic Gray stamp pad was getting a little dry. I’m not too sure about it but I think it’s growing on me.

Hello and welcome. Today’s card is a nontraditional Christmas card. Background paper was found online, metal frame die was bought on Amazon, poinsettia is computer clip art. This was so easy I feel a little guilty entering it in a challenge. I’ll put more effort into the next one.

Hello and welcome. Our granddaughter’s bridal shower is coming up soon so here’s the card I made for her. Filagree Frame is by Frantic Stamper Inc. I found the die cut frame in my stash and it was the right color, so I used it. The silhouette was found online. I had thought of maybe adding some gems but I like it the way it is, so does hubby. Inside sentiment, “I can’t wait to watch my beautiful granddaughter walk down the aisle.” was found online.

Hello and welcome.

Time for a Halloween challenge. Background paper was found online, witch & cat is a Tim Holtz Sizzix Thinlits die. Spider is from a old Cuttlebug die. I added a tiny piece of green cs under the spiders eyes and popped up the spider. Drippy goo strip is a Martha Stewart punch, and I used a cotton ball and black stamp pad to dirty it up a little.

Hello and welcome. Today’s card is for our great-grandson. The idea for a personalized license plate was found on Pinterest. I Googled WI license plate clip art then brought it into my Hallmark card program and added Ryan’s age and name. He’s very excited to be getting his driver’s license, as all 16-year-olds are. This card was printed on an 8″x7″ piece of white cs so finished size is 4″x7″. I think he’ll like it.
