Hello and welcome. It has been a few years since I did any stenciling so I thought it’s time to try again. Since it’s been so long I decided not to use more than one color.

Stencil used is by Hero Arts, die cut tag is Spellbinders. For just a little sparkle I added Wink of Stella to the label. Sentiment was printed on the computer and punched with a Stampin Up punch and lightly sponged the edges with Whisteria Wonder. Pearls were in my stash.

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

Hello and welcome. Today’s card is just because.

Mom & daughter images are from online coloring pages colored with Copic’s, and fussy cut. Umbrella is online clip art, fussy cut and popped up. Sun is a small hand punch lightly sponged with Summer Sun stamp pad from Stampin Up.

Hello and welcome. After a wonderful 5 day visit from our daughter, I’m back to posting.

While our daughter was here, she and her dad played many games of scrabble, so she decided to make a Father’s Day card with a scrabble theme. I Googled scrabble board clip art for the background paper. We cut 1/4″ squares that she wrote the letters on and glued them down. We made the card square so it looked like a game board. We also went shopping and she bought a gift to go with the card and left it here for me to give to him. I can’t wait to see his reaction to the card.

Hello and welcome. I’m so happy that that the Two Old Bats challenge helps me build my Halloween stash all year. I had to get this one finished today because our daughter will be here tomorrow. I am so excited.

Halloween sky background was found online, jack-o-lanterns are from online coloring pages colored with Copic’s and fussy cut. Eyes and mouths have Wink of Stella on them but that doesn’t show to well in the photo. Center jack is popped up.

Hello and welcome. When I saw buddy Johanns’s card for the Cardz 4 Galz challenge I really liked it and thought it would be fun to try to CASE it.

I started with a 4 1/4 x 11 cardstock, scored at 2 /12 & 6 1/2. Patterned paper was found online, “clasp” is a brad from my stash, and I put a piece of Velcro behind it to keep it closed. Pearls in the bottom corners are also from my stash. Handle was cut with Stitched Circles by Die-namics.

Hello and welcome. For some reason I wanted to make a fractured card with a garden like background. While searching Google I found this picture and I just happen to have the right color cardstock. Sentiment square is Stitched Squares by Die-namics, with clip art flowers added. Strips were embossed with a scallop ef by Stampin Up. I am very pleased with this one.

Hello and welcome. Today’s card is for our niece. It’s unreal how fast these kids get old.

Again, background paper was found online. Center die is Stitched Squares by Die-Namics, sentiment was printed on the computer. The 1/4″ strips were run through Stampin Up’s Seaside embossing folder for a little dimension. Inside sentiment “At 60 years old, your birthday suit requires regular ironing.” was found on Pinterest.
