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.

Hello and welcome. Yay, another Christmas card done.

Background paper is from Echo Park, center jingle bells are from a computer coloring page colored with Copic’s. Sentiment was printed in my Hallmark card program. Square die cuts are Stitched Squares by Die-namics. I thought it would add a little interest if the green die cut was cornered.

Hello and welcome. I just love making Halloween cards.

Hello and welcome. After seeing this video https://lisasstampstudio.com/2024/12/the-best-card-layout-for-beginner-card-making.html on Pinterest I just had to try making one.

Papers are from Stampin Up, stamp used is from Stampin Up’s Butterfly Basics., ef used is Divine Swirls by Cuttlebug, ribbon from my stash. Bottom flower was fussy cut from a left-over piece of the pp. As you can see, the sentiment didn’t come out real solid. With the arthritis in my hands even with using the Mini Misti I can’t apply enough pressure, plus, I think my Basic Gray stamp pad was getting a little dry. I’m not too sure about it but I think it’s growing on me.
