Hello and welcome. When I saw this design on Pinterest I just knew I had to try it. I think it’s the colors that really caught my eye. Strips are 1/2″ and adhered to a piece of white cs, 3 3/4″ X 5″ then mounted on white cs 4″ x 5 1/4″. Sentiment circle was found online a long time ago. Die cut circles are Spellbinders scalloped and classic circles large.

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

Hello and welcome. Today’s card will be for our 2 year old great-granddaughter who has 2 black kittens. Patterned paper was found online, image is from an online coloring page colored with Copic’s. Bow and nose have Wink of Stella for a little shine and Yellow Stickles were used to give light to the pumpkin. And of course, I couldn’t resist googly eyes. Grass is from a Martha Stewart punch and I used a stamp pad and sponge dauber to kind of dirty up the grass. Image and top layer of grass are popped up. Sentiment was printed in my Hallmark card program and I cut the card stock with my antique photo paper cutter. This will be entered in the following challenges.

Hello and welcome. Time again for dear-old-sister’s chuckle of the month. Again, sentiment was found while scrolling through Pinterest. Inside photo was with the sentiment, front photo was found while scrolling through Google. Background papers are double scored on 4 sides, front gems are from my stash. D-o-s could relate because she has never been able to learn my sassiness. LOL

Thanks for stopping by your visits mean a lot to me. Have a great day and stay healthy & safe!

Hello and welcome. Today’s card is for our oldest great-grandson. YIKES!! that just doesn’t seem possible.

Card stock is Cajun Craze from Stampin Up. For the pp I Googled birthday background paper but then clicked on birthday gift wrap and that’s where I found what I really liked. Numbers are from the Silhouette double cut and topped with Glossy Accents. There’s not a lot of room for a sentiment but simple is good.

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

Hello and welcome.

The Detailed Santa Thinlits die from Stampin Up is one of my very favorite Christmas dies. Stars were cut from white glitter paper, sentiment die is Spellbinders Holiday Sentiments. Sentiment was cut twice for a little stability then I used Clear Wink Of Stella for a little shine.

Hello and welcome.

Today’s card is a CASE of an entry I saw on Cardz 4 Guyz so I didn’t think it was right for me to enter this one. The red panel was run through a Tim Holtz bricked embossing folder, pp is from the Silhouette. Sentiment is Spellbinders Holiday Sentiments. To make the sentiment more stable and add a little dimension I first cut it in black then textured white cs. I put some adhesive backed paper to the cs before cutting it.

Hello and welcome. Feels good to be back to creating after a wonderful visit with family.

Today’s card is for our grandson-in-law. Not knowing what to do I finally decided on using wonky squares from the Silhouette. Card base is 5×5 and it took a few tries for me to get the wonky squares the right size. Pp was found online, sentiment circle was also found online but it had a swirly center that I changed to the number. Being the nasty person that I am I just had to show his age. Circle is popped up. When I set the wonky squares on the card it looked like it needed something else, so I decided to add a little texture using a crimper.

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

Hello and welcome.
