Hello and welcome. Don’t know about you but I’m glad the holidays are over.

Today’s card is for my b-i-l. Hubby thought gray was appropriate for a gray old man’s card. Inside sentiment is “Enjoy the last year of your 80’s”. Background paper was embossed with Cuttlebug’s Happy Birthday ef. Patterned papers were in my stash and I have no idea where they came from. Pinwheel squares were cut with my paper trimmer. Center ‘button’ is hand punched with Glossy Accents added. Photo corners are punched squares cut in half diagonally.

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

Happy New Year!!

Today’s card is for our soon to be grandson-in-law. I have become very fond of embossed foil for masculine cards. Since I learned to put the foil on a piece of cs before embossing it turns out so much better. Embossing folder used is Happy Birthday by Cuttlebug. Center image is clip art from my Hallmark card program and popped up. This was so quick and easy.

Hello and welcome, hope you had a wonderful Christmas. Ours was quiet but very nice, and today our bonus gift is a 4-day visit from our daughter. We’re going to have some good mother-daughter time.

Today’s card is for one of our granddaughter’s. When I saw this sentiment, “For the 32nd time…. happy birthday.” I couldn’t resist it for her. Patterned paper was found online, die used is Spellbinders scalloped rectangle, sentiment was printed on the computer. This was very quick and simple and she’s going to love it. She has my sense of humor.

Hello and welcome.

Today’s card is for our great-granddaughter. She’s been taking ballet for a couple of years so I was happy to find this pp online. The 6 is number clip art printed on pink cs, fussy cut, dry embossed and popped up. Before embossing the number, I edged it with a black marker. Corners of pp are rounded to add a little interest. This might be the easiest/quickest card I’ve ever made.

Hello and welcome. Today’s card is for our grandson. He is so sweet, he told us he still has every card I’ve made for him since he was a baby.

I think foil works very well for masculine cards. Dies used for the center are Stitched Squares by Die-namics, Ef used is a no name from Amazon. To add a little interest, I embossed the top strips. Sentiment was printed on the computer.

Hello and welcome. I’m still working on Christmas cards but just had to squees in a special birthday card. This one is for our neighbor’s grandson that they “share” with us.

His school picture from this year is the focal point. Sentiment was printed in my Hallmark card program. Since this little guy is fascinated with garbage trucks I just had to include a couple. After scoring the four edges I snipped out the four corners.

Hello and welcome. Hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving. Ours was really great. What made it extra special was that our granddaughter’s boyfriend surprised us all by coming and proposed to our granddaughter. She was so excited. Now on to my card.

I made two of these cards, for our 5-year-old and 3-year-old great-granddaughters. Background paper was found online, gingerbread men are computer clip art. After fussy cutting I edged them with black marker and attached them with wobblers. Sentiment tags were printed on the computer, cut on my paper trimmer then I rounded the corners. Those edges were also trimmed with a marker and popped up.
