Hello and welcome. A friend asked me to make an engagement card for their granddaughter, of course I jumped right on that.

The die cuts look grey in the photo, but they were cut from light blue metalic cardstock. Dies used are Opulent Swirls by Gemini, hearts are a small hand punch. Before die cutting I backed the metalic paper with double back sticky paper. My friend was very happy with it.

Hello and welcome. Thanks to the Peace On Earth Christmas challenge it’s never too early to start Christmas cards.

Background paper is from my stash, sentiment is computer clip art, poinsettia is from a coloring page colored with Copic’s. Before fussy cutting I adhered the flower to a second piece of cardstock for some stability. Poinsettia has some Wink of Stella on it and is popped up.

Hello and welcome. Today’s card is for our b-i-l. Patterned paper was found online. White layer and blue squares were embossed with a Stampin Up diamond ef. The white panel and patterned papers were edged with a blue marker. I think the colored edges gives it a more finished look. Label is Stampin Up’s modern label and word window punches, sentiment was printed on the computer and label is popped up. Inside sentiment, found online, “It’s nice to be young, healthy, and full of energy… remember what that feels like?” If I put a nice sentiment in his card he wonders what he did to tick me off.

Hello and welcome. I thought it was about time to make another fractured card. Patterned paper was found online, sentiment was found on Pinterest, party hats are computer clip art. Die used is Stitched Squares by Die-Namics. Blue strips are 1/2″ and the zig zag trim is from a very old Extended Sizlit by Sizix. This was so easy I feel like I cheated.

Hello and welcome. Today’s card is for our oldest great-grandson. Actually, he finished his classes in Oct. but decided to wait and walk with his class to get his diploma. He’s now going to school to go into law enforcement. We’re all very proud of him.

The design I first wanted just didn’t work for me so off to plan B. The school colors are red & white. Luckily I found this pp online. Sentiment was printed on the computer and red caps are clip art. Red brads were added for a little interest. This is very plain & simple but I like it.

Hello and welcome. Today’s layout came from Dawn Ochefske. You can see her card here https://www.pinterest.com/pin/162974080258733493/.

The patterned paper was in my stash (I think for a very long time). Sentiment was printed in my Hallmark card program with clip art rosses added. Circle die is Stitched Circles by Die-namics and popped up. Corner gems are from my stash. Before making it, I practiced using another pp to make sure my measurements were right. This one will go to my sweet nail gal.

Hello and welcome. Recently my granddaughter asked me to make 2 baby shower cards. She bought baby bathtubs and filled them with bath time supplies. She sent me pictures of how she packed them so I could see the color schemes and patterns.

The first one is a shaped card from the Silhouette. Patterned paper was found online, The yellow cs straps were run through a striped ef. For the buttons and top trim, I fussy cut rainbows from the pp and added Wink of Stella. The second one is 5 x 5 square. Again, pp was found online, and the elephant towel is clip art, cover photo of the book Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See was also found online. Footprints are a small hand punch. She loved both of them.
