Hello and welcome. Today’s card is for our youngest granddaughter, the one who really likes cards with different folds. Sorry about the difference in photos. The first one was taken with a camera, the second was scanned. The first one is truer to color which is SU’s Pumpkin Pie. Labels are Spellbinders Labels 16, side flowers are Rose Garden Thinlits by SU with small green gems in the center. Small flowers in the corners are a small hand punch. Numbers are Sizzix, Alphabet Sizzlets, Rat-A-Tat. I think the Sizzlets are about 20 years old. You can see the video for the vertical easel card here https://janbcards.com/2022/04/vertical-easel-birthday-card-video.html.

We just had wonderful, very special fun week with our daughter. I got a little tired out but it’s a good tired.

While she was here, she asked if I would help her make a couple graduation cards (she is not a card maker). We found a box fold card on Pinterest you can see here http://paperfantasies.blogspot.com/2013/04/graduation-box-card-gift-idea.html?m=1#.UWzCNMrqqTI

We went to Hobby Lobby for the pp and came home and got to work. She did a lot of it herself. The graduation caps, on the belly bands, were fussy cut from a different piece of pp and we added Glossy Accents to them.

Today’s card is for the man my hubby hired to take his place when he retired. Here we are 22 years later, and his replacement is retiring. I got the idea for this on Pinterest. Since the business is manufacturing trailer hitches, I decided to add a couple clip art trailer hitches on the business card. It’s kind of plain and simple, but hubby thought it was perfect.

Hello and welcome. Today’s card is for my daughter’s m-i-l. She decided it was time to downsize and sold her big house and bought a townhome. Card is a Silhouette file and the tulips are from an old hand punch. It didn’t start out to be a square card but because of my bad sizing on the file that’s how it turned out. Just another example of one of my mishaps that turned out kind of o.k.

Hello and welcome. Today’s card will be entered in the Peace On Earth challenge. Pp and candy cane foam stickers were in my stash. I didn’t even know I had those stickers till I went rummaging through some of my stash. I have no idea of when or where I got them. Frame is Stitched Oval by Die-namics. Santa Teddy image was found on an online coloring page and colored with Copic’s. Corners of pp were punched with a small circle punch.

Hello and welcome.

Today’s card is for my niece. The saying, “9 out of 10 children get their awesomeness from their aunt” was found on Pinterest. Adding 9 children seemed like a good idea so I Googled ‘Children Playing’ clip art. There was a little editing to do but it was kind of fun. Soft sky background was made using a cotton ball and Bashful Blue stamp pad. Since I don’t have a cloud stencil, I just tore the edge of a piece of paper. For just a little texture I doubled scored all 4 edges. I usually put a sticker on the back of my cards with my name but for this one I’m putting Awesome Auntie.

Glad you stopped by to meet Frankie. He’s being entered in the Two Old Bats challenge. This was not a lot of work. Frankie is from the Silhouette. His face seemed a little blah, so I tried to mark it up a bit with a stylus but that didn’t work out so well, so I used a cotton ball and black stamp pad to sort of mess up his face. Since I cut him a little too big, I wasn’t able to keep a border around the pp. Pp was found online.

Thanks for stopping by. Have a great day and stay healthy & safe.

Today’s card is DOS’s chuckle of the month. Sentiment, “My husband always takes the garbage out.. …but never me” is from a Mother Goose And Grimm comic strip. Background papers and image were found online. DOS liked the card and said her husband had never even taken the garbage out. Hope this qualifies for the White with one other color challenge at DoubleD
