Hello and welcome. I can’t believe we have a son turning 60. His birthday isn’t till April 10th, but I just couldn’t wait to make the card.

Background paper was found online. With all the different colors in the paper I thought Old Olive cs worked best. Frame is a no name die from Amazon, labels are Stampin Up’s Modern Label and Word Window punch, sentiment was printed on the computer. Photo was taken last week while he was here for a couple days (I cropped myself out). Inside sentiment was found on Google.

Thanks for stopping by I really appreciate you taking the time. Have a great day and stay healthy & safe.

Hello and welcome. It’s never too early for Halloween cards.

Background paper was found online and I sponged the edges in black. Dies used are from two different Tim Holtz Thinlits sets. The “dead man” was cut from Basic Gray cs then I lightly sponged it with black. Grass is a Martha Stewert punch. The grass was also sponged with black.

Hello and welcome. Today’s card is to congratulate our granddaughter & fiancé who just bought and moved into their first house. They’re getting married Aug. 15. I can’t wait.

I thought it would be fun to have a picture of the house on the card front. I went to the relator’s web site to get this picture. I had a soft sky patterned paper from online for the background then added the photo and sentiment. Card base is Azure Afternoon by Stampin Up. It took me quite a while to get everything sized and placed right but I’m happy with the end result.

Hello and welcome. DOS’s Feb. chuckle card never made it to her so I’m posting it for her to see. Quote was found on Pinterest. Patterned paper is an old Stampin Up piece. Black circles were made with a Sharpie and topped with Wink of Stella, OOPS, I cropped the photo of the inside of the insert too close. It has an easel back so it can stand up. Base is 5 1/2 x 4 1/4.

Hello and welcome. Finally, I’m back to making a challenge card.

Thanks to buddy Lisa B. I bought a fractured card base die, only I bought mine on Amazon, so it’s not quite the same as Lisas. But it works.

Patterned papers were found online. For a more finished look on the shaped pieces, I edged them with a yellow marker.

Hello and welcome. Hubby and I share the same birthday, and we stopped giving each other gifts or cards a long time ago. However, since he played the accordion in elementary school, when I saw a card like this on Pinterest, I just had to make him one. This is an easel card so I’m going to stand it on his desk. Image is clip art, sentiment and music notes were printed on the computer. Edges of top layer were cut with an antique photo cutter.

Hello and welcome. I’m so proud of myself. After several tries to make a triangle card this one finally worked.

Patterned paper is from Stampin Up. I’m sure it has been long retired. Sentiment label was punched with Stampin Up punches. The piece of ribbon was found in the back of a drawer. Sentiment was printed on the computer.

I am SO happy I finally got a triangle card made. Sorry for repeating myself, but I am really pleased with this one.

Hello and welcome. Today’s card was inspired by a one I saw on Pinterest. Embossing folder used is Happy Birthday by Cuttlebug, flowers are Flourish Thinlits from Stampin Up. I added clear Wink of Stella to the flowers for a little sparkle. Sentiment was printed on the computer and cut with my paper trimmer then I rounded the corners. Since I don’t do bows very well, I just looped a piece of hanging ribbon. Flowers and hanging ribbon have tiny pearl gems in the centers.

Hello and welcome. It’s good to be getting a little strength back.

Today’s card is for a casual friend who loves to bake and share the treats. Background paper and sentiment were found online. At first, I tried the sentiment in the center but decided a little wonky was much better. This was so quick and easy I felt like I was cheating.
