Foiled Birthday

Hello and welcome. Today’s card is for one of our grandson-in-laws. I think cards using foil make a great masculine card. Embossing folder used is Spots and Dots by Cuttlebug, sentiment is from an old Gina K stamp set, circles were cut with the Silhouette. I wanted to add a little accent to it and found the black dots at the bottom on my gem box. I wasn’t too sure if I really liked it, but hubby liked it and thought that Josh would too.

9 th Birthday

Hello and welcome. Today’s card is for our youngest great-grandson. Since he was playing baseball this summer, I thought a baseball theme card would be perfect. White side panel was embossed with a Stampin Up embossing folder, sentiment die is unbranded from Amazon, baseballs are computer clit art. I added the number 9 to one ball. Balls were punched with Stampin Up’s 1 3/8 circle punch, and I went around the outside edges with a black marker. I hope he’ll like it.

Acts Of Kindness

Hello and welcome. Yup, time again for d-o-s chuckle card.

Background paper was found in my scraps, arch dies are unbranded from Amazon, image and sentiment were found online. “Sometimes I like to do little random acts of kindness. Like keeping my mouth shut.”. Lots of people think I’m being kind when I keep my mouth shut. lol

O-fish-ally Retired

Hello and welcome. This card is for an employee my husband hired while he was in high school and 45 years later, he’s retiring. He plans on doing a lot of fishing now.

Background paper and image were found online, the fish is computer clip art. Sentiment was found from looking at cards on Pinterest. Inside sentiment “Turn all your work stories into giant fish tales.” was also found on Pinterest. Hubby thinks this a great card, and I think the recipient will like it.

Black, White, Red Birthday

Hello and welcome. Today’s card is for our son-in-law. The idea for this card came from Pinterest.

Background paper was in my stash, red and black panels were cut with my Stampin Up paper trimmer, white label is from a die set that I don’t have a name for. Sentiment was printed in my Hallmark card program, gems were in my stash. Hubby thinks this a great masculine card and I’m very happy with it.

We’re having some pretty high temps this week so I’m not spending much time outside.

Diamond Fold Birthday

Hello and welcome. After seeing some Diamond Fun Fold cards on Pinterest I had to give it a try.

I decided to make it a 5″ square. Sorry I didn’t save the site with the tutorial I used. Background paper was in my stash, dies used are Spellbinders scalloped and classic rectangles, sentiment was printed on the computer, and small flowers are computer clip art. Since I didn’t have any yellow cs light enough I took a white piece and colored it using a blending sponge and Summer Sun stamp pad. I’ve never done that before and I’m very happy how it turned out. That’s something I’ll be trying again.

Pearl Anniversary

Hello and welcome. Today’s card is for our daughter & son-in-law’s 30 anniversary. I looked up what the symbol was for 30 and found out its pearl. Then I went online and found some pearl background paper. After printing it and going through my cs I couldn’t decide which color worked best I asked for hubby’s advice and we both thought the Smokey Slate was best. The decorative edge die is one from a package I bought on Amazon. Sentiment was printed in my Hallmark card program, and the pearls were in my stash. I’m not sure if I really like it but I’ve got a couple weeks to decide. It’s possible I could make a different one.

First Mom Birthday

Hello and welcome. Today’s card is for our granddaughter who just had her first baby. For some reason I decided to wish her Happy first birthday as a mom then my daughter suggested also adding and last of your 20’s, so that’s on the inside. Sorry but I don’t have any name of the embossing folder or dies I used. The little gems were found in my drawer. I do like how it turned out.

Becoming Grandma

Hello and welcome. Since our daughter became a grandma last week and I just happened to see this quote online “Becoming a Grandma Is Magical! One moment you’re simply a mother the next, you’re wise beyond time.” I just knew I had to use it. She knows I can’t resist a little snark. Image was also found online. Frame is Stitched Squares by Die-namics. I used a marker to edge the top layer and scored all edges.
