Hello and welcome. Time again for dear-old-sister’s chuckle card. Image and quote–“I try to be a nice person but sometimes my mouth doesn’t want to cooperate” were found online. Image and word bubble were printed in my Hallmark card program, frame is a no name die I bought on Amazon. D-o-s agrees with it. 🙂

Hello and welcome. I just had to make a fractured Halloween card. Background paper and paper for the 1/4″ strips were found online, fussy cut ghost was in my Halloween stash and popped up, bats are a very old wood mount rubber stamp. At first I cut the strips from a black spider web paper but thought they looked too much like snakeskin, so I used a lighter spider web paper.

Hello and welcome. Today’s card is for one of our favorite servers. I wanted to try something new, so I found several tutorials for the buckle card on Pinterest. Cardstock is Pear Pizzaz, pp from a 6×6 book from Stampin Up. I didn’t really like the stark white panel, so I softened it with a cotton ball and Pear Pizzaz stamp pad. Circle is stitched circles from Die-namics and I embossed it with a Cuttlebug happy birthday ef. Slit is a no name die that was laying on my desk. Inside sentiment was printed on the computer.

Pattern paper was found online. The pp was embossed with a Cuttlebug Leaves ef but it doesn’t really show so I also embossed the leaves. Embossing folder used for the leaves is a no name one from Amazon. Leaf with sentiment was printed on the computer then fussy cut. Small leaves dies are also no name from Amazon.

Hello and welcome. This card is for our granddaughter & hubby. Thanks to Google, I found out wood is traditional for the fifth anniversary. Panel was run through a Cuttlebug Wood Grain ef then lightly sponged with Crumb Cake stamp pad. Center heart frame is Stampin Up’s Sweet & Sassy Framelits also run through the Cuttlebug ef. Corner hearts are a small heart punch also dry embossed. It doesn’t show in the photo, but the center of the large heart is wood grain pp found online. Sentiment was printed on the computer.

Hello and welcome. It’s hard to believe we can have a great-grandchild turning 19. Yikes, time goes by fast.

I saw this design on Pinterest and thought I should try it. Card base is 5×5 square. Patterned paper was found online, numbers are from the Silhouette, sentiment was printed on the computer. The numbers looked kind of blah, so I dry embossed them. This was very easy to make.

Hello and welcome. Today’s card is for the couple that bought our MN house 24 years ago. We have maintained contact with them all these years and on our recent trip to MN they invited us to the house for a wonderful dinner.

Background paper is from my online stash, die cut is Stitched Squares by Die-namics, sentiment was printed on the computer. The pink strips were cut 1/8″ wide and blue strips are 1/4″.

Seeing family was so good. Our 5-year-old great-granddaughter loved pushing me in my wheelchair. Now the bad part of the trip. The first day of our 3-day drive something twisted in my back and was pushing on the sciatic nerve, so I was in pain the whole time we were there. The day after we got home, I saw the doctor and was put on Prednisone and that is helping.

Hello and welcome. Today’s card is for one of our daughter’s best friends whose mom just passed away. Card base is Balmy Blue, pink panel is a scrap piece, pp paper was found online. Die cut is Flourish Thinlits by Stampin Up, sentiment was printed on the computer, gems are from my stash. I’m hoping it will bring some comfort.

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