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.

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

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.

Hello and welcome. When our daughter was here this past weekend she wanted to make shower card for her daughter. When she “makes” a card it’s sitting next to me while I do the work. LOL We found several cards with the dress made from paper doilies and she liked this pattern best. She just wanted it to be plain, no sentiment on the front. She hand wrote a beautiful note inside. Doily, ribbon & gem are from my stash. Embossing folder used is from Cuttlebug.

Hello and welcome. I’ve been wanting to use different ribbons or strips of pp to make die cuts, so I finally did it. I cut 1/4″ strips of two different patterned papers, glued them to a piece of white cs then used Stampin Up’s Sweet & Sassy framelits heart die. Then edged it with a black marker. Back layered heart is from the same set with Wink Of Stella around the edges. I recently watched a video on using a circle punch so that’s what I did for corners. Embossing folder is from Cuttlebug. Sentiment was printed on the computer. Here’s the link to the punch video https://stamptasticdesigns.com/2020/05/10/fun-and-simple-way-to-use-circle-shapes-in-card-making/

Hello and welcome. Today’s card is for a friend that we see every week at our favorite restaurant, he’s the only man at a table for 6. The background page was found online. First, I cloned out the photo and words that were there then added his photo and my own words. I did all that in my Hallmark card program. The page has lists Of What Things Cost, Sporting Highlights, On Television, Stars Born, Top Songs, At The Cinama & Events. It was fun reading about those things.

Hello and welcome. Today’s card is for our youngest great-granddaughter (who should still be a baby). When I started, I had no idea what I wanted to do except use her picture. Patterned paper was found online, frame is Spellbinders Classic & Scalloped Rectangles. Numbers are from an online coloring page fussy cut and edged with black marker. Corners were rounded for a little interest.

Hello and welcome. I got the idea for this card while perusing Pinterest. You can see that card here https://www.pinterest.com/pin/342555115426299413/. Cardstock is Stampin Up background paper was a piece in my stash. Heart dies are Sweet and Sassy Framelits by Stampin Up. Sentiment and clip art hearts were done in my Hallmark card program. Ribbon has been in my stash for years and since I don’t do much ribbon it took me some time to get the bow right. At first when I looked at the finished product, I thought it didn’t look right with the one red square covered by the heart but the more I looked at it the more I liked it.

Hello and welcome. Today’s card for our 15 year old great-grandson. Yup, you guessed it, he plays basketball for his high school. I looked at a lot of basketball Valentine’s online to come up a design. Basketball, net and hearts are computer clip art. For the ball I printed off a basketball and punched it out with a hand punch. I used an exacto knife to make a slit at the rim of the basket so I could tuck the ball in to make it look like a slam dunk. For a little interest I rounded the corners. It was printed in my Hallmark card program.
