Fractured Sympathy

Hello and welcome. Today’s card is for a very special friend who just lost her longtime live-in boyfriend. He was only in his mid-forties. The past few weeks have been very difficult for her so I hope this card will bring her some comfort.

Background paper was found online, center diamond is Spellbinders Classic Diamonds die, sentiment was printed on the computer. It was about time I got back to fractured cards.

Spider And Monster

Hello and welcome. Even though my Halloween cards are done I just couldn’t pass up the CYHTP Monster challenge. Background paper was found online, and I embossed it with the Spider Web ef by The Paper Studio. Gates and monster are Tim Holtz dies, spider is from an old Provo Craft die. Yellow Stickles were added to the spider’s eyes and spider is popped up. The Happy Halloween washi tape was an afterthought when I found it in my stash.

Wine Or Be Skinny

Hello and welcome. Time again for d-o-s’s chuckle of the month. The sentiment “If you had to choose between drinking wine every day or being skinny, which would you choose? Red or white?” was found online. D-o-s chose red. Pp was in my stash, die used is a no name I bought on Amazon, wine glasses are computer clip art.

Baby Fox

Hello and welcome. Today’s card is for our favorite breakfast server. She’s expecting her first baby and when she and her husband first got together, they were big fans of the X-Files series and decided if they ever had a boy his name would be Fox. The gift we’re giving them is a stuffed fox I had a friend crochet, so I wanted to bring the fox theme to the card.

Pp was found online, template for the boy’s dungaree card was found on Pinterest. I was having issues with my Silhouette, so I used the template and fussy cut the card pieces. I embossed the strapped overall to give them a little interest. Buttons are a hand punch then I poked tiny holes in them. Pockets are 1/2″ squares that I rounded the bottom corners using a nail file, and I did the same to the baby fox square. Baby fox was found online, Since the way the pp was cut the foxes in the paper didn’t show so I cut pieces with the fox on them for the pocket tops.

Happy Thanksgiving

Hello and welcome. While thinking about making a Thanksgiving card I came across this piece of pp and thought that would be perfect. Strip and leaves were embossed with Cuttlebug embossing folders. Sentiment was printed on the computer and cut with Stitched Rectangles by Die-namics. The punched leaves were in my fall stash.

Group Therapy

Hello and welcome. When I saw this quote, “Sometimes you just need a little group therapy with your besties.” I knew I had to use it somehow. I Googled witches drinking wine clip art and found this photo. After sizing it in my Hallmark card program I printed the quote. The top line doesn’t show well in the photo, but it does show quite well in real life. For a little more interest, I embossed the top card base with a Sizzix ef. Sorry I don’t know the name of it. I wasn’t too sure about it till hubby saw it and liked it.

Plain And Simple

Hello and welcome. Today’s card is for my sister-in-law. After seeing so many cards using scraps I decided it was time to try one. Circle was cut with Stitched Circles die by Die-namics. Before embossing with a Darice birch tree ef I printed sentiment on the computer. Circle and embossed layer were edged with a Copic marker. Surprisingly I kind of like it.
