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.

Hello and welcome. Today’s card is for a friend who appreciates my snark. Sentiment “You are far too special for just a birthday card, so…. please do keep the envelope too.” was found online and I have used it before. Looking through my old card photos, I found one I had made a few years ago with this design and decided to go with that layout again. Patterned paper was found online, scalloped border is a border punch, sentiment was printed on the computer, gems were in my stash and I used a corner rounder punch on the top corners.

We have been very fortunate not needing heat or ac for a couple of weeks, just open windows and fresh air. Feels so good.

Hello and welcome. Today’s card is for our soon to be 17-year-old great-grandson. Embossing folder used is by Cuttlebug, stitched circle dies are non-branded bought on Amazon, center strips were cut on my paper trimmer. I wasn’t too sure of it, but hubby really liked it so I guess it will pass.

Hello and welcome. It feels so good to be back to creating. After a miserable week I finally went to the er and found out I had pneumonia. For this past week I felt a little better each day. Now I finally feel like being in my craft room.

Today’s card is for a busser at our favorite restaurant. On our (hubby & me) birthday last month she had a box of chocolates sitting on our table. We thought that was so sweet I decided she should get a special card for her birthday.

Patterned paper was in my stash, and I was anxious to use one of the new decorative edge dies I recently purchased. No brand name for the dies. Sentiment was printed in my Hallmark card program. It took several tries to get the words curved and placed just right. Pearls are from my stash. The pearls didn’t get placed just right but hubby thinks they look just fine.

Hello and welcome. Being in need of a masculine birthday card I thought a black & white, fractured card would be good. Unfortunately, I don’t have a brand name for the ef. Center image is computer clip art, die used is Stitched Squares by Die-namics, 1/4 ” strips cut with my paper trimmer. This was way too quick and easy to make, but I do like the end result. Knowing the recipient, I think he will like it.

Hello and welcome. Today’s card is for our son & d-i-l. When I found this piece of pp in my scrap pile, I thought it would be perfect for an anniversary card. Sentiment was printed on the computer, pearl gems are from my stash. The edge die used is one from a set I just bought on Amazon, GLOBLELAND brand. This is the first time I used an edge die and I’m very pleased with the end result.

Hello and welcome. Today’s card if for our son. While going through Pinterest looking for ideas, I saw a card with this sentiment and thought that would be fun to work around. First step was to go online to find a clock theme background paper. When printing the sentiment, I thought it would be fun to add number birthday candles. Candles are computer clip art, Stitched square is from Die-namics. At first, I cut the black strips 1/4″ but thought they looked too narrow when I added the 1/8″ white strip, so, I cut the black ones 5/16″ and thought that looked better.

Hello and welcome. Another simple Easter card done. Center egg shape and border eggs were cut on the Silhouette, ef used is from Sizzix, sentiment was printed on the computer and punched with Stampin Up’s modern label and word window punch. Chocolate bunny is computer clip art and fussy cut, the small piece of background paper was laying on my desk. Border eggs have Wink of Stella on them.
