Hello and welcome. The spider web background was found online but I decided to print it on gray cs instead of white and I kind of like it. Spiders and skulls are from an old metal die by Provo Craft. I added Wink of Stella to the die cuts and popped up the spiders. To make the eyes more interesting I added green Stickles. Since I didn’t want to get too much of the Stickles on, I used a toothpick to put it through the tiny holes. Goo border is a Martha Stewart punch and I used a cotton ball and black stamp pad to darken it a bit.

Hello and welcome. For today’s card I used the Santa’s Sleigh stamp set from Stampin Up. I’m sure this set has been long retired. Images were stamped and cut with the matching dies. For the sky background I used a cotton ball and Bashful Blue stamp pad, the little snowy hills were fussy cut and very lightly colored with a cotton ball and Soft Sky stamp pad. I wasn’t too sure if I liked it, but when hubby said he liked it I thought it must be ok.

Hello and welcome. While looking for Christmas scene images online I saw one that looked like it was a puzzle. Remembering the Puzzle Pieces Thinlits die set from Stampin Up I thought it would be fun to make one.

Even though this is a small puzzle I had a hard time putting the pieces where they belonged. Hubby is the puzzle maker in this family. lol I adhered the pieces to a piece of cs using Tombow liquid glue then trimmed the edges. Sorry but I don’t have a name for the ef used for the background layer. I’m really happy with how this turned out.

Because our 5-year-old great-granddaughter likes to make puzzles this card will go to her. She will be visiting us in Oct. and plans on challenging great-grandpa to make a puzzle.

Hello and welcome. Today’s card has a little sarcasm for our neighbor who knows a lot about wine. I’m the kind of person who goes for the cheapest wine on the menu. Whenever this neighbor asks me what I think of the wine he’s serving I just tell him it tastes like wine.

Since he likes my sarcastic cards when I found this image online I thought it would be perfect for his birthday card. The Happy Birthday script is computer clip art that I fussy cut and popped up, and pp was also found online. Dies used are Spellbinders Labels.

Hello and welcome. When I found this sentiment “When I said I wanted to be mysterious & fascinating, I didn’t mean medically.” I thought it would be good for d-o-s’s chuckle card. My family has always said that I’m a medical mystery. There have been many times my doctors just couldn’t’ explain what was going on.

Sentiment, image and border print were found online, and this went together pretty quick. I think it’s time I get myself away from easy cards.

Hello and welcome. Since I don’t have any birthday’s coming up soon, I decided to get a head start on Christmas cards.

Background paper and Santa clip art image were found online. I hadn’t planned on making a square card till I found this pp. Santa image and sentiment were added using my Hallmark Card Program.

Hello and welcome. Today’s card is for our b-i-l’s birthday which I only remembered the day before so he will receive this a little late. Sentiment “You probably get lots of cards on your birthday. But what about after? When the balloons have withered and the cake has crumbled Who’s looking out for you then? Who’s looking out for you when the spotlight is off? I am, that’s who. Me.” Since the card is from both hubby & me, I changed the inside to read We are, that’s who. Us. Now when I look at the picture, I see a couple errors in my printing…oh well, mistakes happen. 😉 Balloon frame was also found online.

Hello and welcome. Today’s card was really quite simple. Flower image is from an online coloring page, colored with Stampin Up’s Stampin Write markers. When I found a small piece of a specialty white cs I decided to print the vase on that then fussy cut and paper pieced it to the image. Embossing folder used is from Sizzix, oval was cut with Spellbinders Classic Oval die. Since I didn’t know how I would use this card I didn’t add any sentiment.

Hello and welcome. This finished product is not what I started to make but I’m very happy with it. When I started, the image (which was gifted to me) was supposed to fit the full front of the card, well, that didn’t work because I accidently cut the image way too short. So, to selvage it I trimmed the sides down to make it a smaller rectangle. Using the Wonky Square in my Silhouette I stretched it a little to make it rectangle. Background paper is white cs that I smudged up with a cotton ball and black stamp pad, I also added a little smudge around that sweet little image. Sentiment was printed on the computer and punched with Stampin Up’s Word Window and Modern Label punches. As you can see, I also smudged up the words. Corner pumpkin heads are computer clip art, fussy cut with Wink of Stella added.
