Hello and welcome. Today’s card was started last week with some input from my daughter. She picked out a little beach girl from an online coloring page, but my fingers were not cooperating with coloring. The arthritis in my fingers has been pretty nasty lately so I’ve been wearing compression gloves most of the time and using markers doesn’t work too well. So, I looked for beach girl clip art on the computer. Puppy was in my stash. Girl and puppy were fussy cut, clip art beach ball was punched with Stampin Up’s 1 1/2″ circle punch. I printed Happy Birthday on the ball before punching. Sky was made using a cotton ball with Soft Sky stamp pad and a handmade paper cloud template. Ocean background paper was in my stash. To tear the wavy edge, I used an old tearing tool from Stampin Up. Paper for the sand was found online and I tore the top edge. Since my daughter helped me with the layout but I didn’t finish the card while she was here I will send this to her for her birthday.

Thanks for stopping by I really appreciate you taking the time. Have a great day and try to stay out of the heat.

Hello and welcome. Yay, another Christmas card done. PP is Echo Park, center die is Stitched Squares by Die-namics, center ornament is computer clip art. Sentiment was printed on the computer and punched with Stampin Up’s Modern Label and word window punches. It might be a little much to have the pp strips on top of the green, but I like it.

In about an hour we’re heading to the airport to pick up our daughter. I’m so excited.

Hello and welcome. I was in need of a sympathy card, so I looked on Pinterest for ideas. I found several using this Tim Holtz corner die and I really liked this layout. Sentiment was printed in my Hallmark card program then I did the die cut. Butterfly die is Flourishing Elements by Gemini. I put double back adhesive on a piece of cardstock before cutting the butterfly.

Hello and welcome. Can’t believe I’m posting twice in one day. For some reason I really wanted to make a Halloween card using this sentiment. Background paper is from Scrapbook.com, witch was cut on the Silhouette and is popped up with dimensionals. Card is 5 x 5. The hardest part for me was getting the printing placed right. I like the fact that in my Hallmark program I can make the font kind of wavy.

Hello and welcome. Oh yes, time again for DOS’s chuckle. Sentiment, “Sometimes you may feel like there’s no one there for you, but you know who’s always there for you? Laundry. Laundry will always be there for you.” was found online. For the image I Googled lonely old ladies clip art. To add a little interest, I scored all four edges. Very quick and simple. She loved it.

Hello and welcome. After several videos and attempts I finally got a Fan Fold card done. I don’t know what my problem was, but I just couldn’t get the pieces cut right. PP was found online, die cut label is an Amazon purchase. Sentiment was printed in my Hallmark card program, and I printed it out in navy blue. I’m actually pretty pleased with it.

Hello and welcome. Today’s card is for my niece. The sentiment “You are far too special for just a birthday card so… Please, do keep the envelope too.” is just a little bit snarky. EF used is Happy Birthday by Cuttlebug, stitched dies were bought on Amazon.

Hello and welcome. Today’s card is for our granddaughter whose wedding will be Aug. 15. They chose an outside venue, so I went to the website and found a picture of the arch they will be at to use as a background. Die set is Hying Wedding Frame Dies found on Amazon. Below is a look at the inside. To get the heart shape I Googled wedding clip art. I pulled the heart into my Hallmark card program and added the sentiment.

Hello and welcome.

Another Christmas card done, yay! I don’t know why, but this is the third fractured Christmas card. Card stock is Stampin Up, background paper is Echo Park, label die was bought on Amazon. Center die cut is Stitched Squares by Die-namics, center Nut Cracker is computer clip art. The red border on the label is the same die cut in half so it’s only on the top and bottom. Strips were run through a dotted ef from Stampin Up.
