Mom & daughter images are from online coloring pages colored with Copic’s, and fussy cut. Umbrella is online clip art, fussy cut and popped up.

Hello and welcome. After a wonderful 5 day visit from our daughter, I’m back to posting.

While our daughter was here, she and her dad played many games of scrabble, so she decided to make a Father’s Day card with a scrabble theme. I Googled scrabble board clip art for the background paper. We cut 1/4″ squares that she wrote the letters on and glued them down. We made the card square so it looked like a game board. We also went shopping and she bought a gift to go with the card and left it here for me to give to him. I can’t wait to see his reaction to the card.

Hello and welcome. When I saw buddy Johanns’s card for the Cardz 4 Galz challenge I really liked it and thought it would be fun to try to CASE it.

I started with a 4 1/4 x 11 cardstock, scored at 2 /12 & 6 1/2. Patterned paper was found online, “clasp” is a brad from my stash, and I put a piece of Velcro behind it to keep it closed. Pearls in the bottom corners are also from my stash. Handle was cut with Stitched Circles by Die-namics.

Hello and welcome.

This was my first attempt at using this layout and I’m very pleased with it (hubby likes it too). Patterned paper was in my stash, dies used are Spellbinders Rectangles. Sentiment was printed on the computer. Pp rectangles were edged with a red marker. One more card for Christmas 2024.

Hello and welcome. For some reason I wanted to make a fractured card with a garden like background. While searching Google I found this picture and I just happen to have the right color cardstock. Sentiment square is Stitched Squares by Die-namics, with clip art flowers added. Strips were embossed with a scallop ef by Stampin Up. I am very pleased with this one.

Hello and welcome. Today’s card is for our niece. It’s unreal how fast these kids get old.

Again, background paper was found online. Center die is Stitched Squares by Die-Namics, sentiment was printed on the computer. The 1/4″ strips were run through Stampin Up’s Seaside embossing folder for a little dimension. Inside sentiment “At 60 years old, your birthday suit requires regular ironing.” was found on Pinterest.

Hello and welcome. A friend asked me to make a simple card to welcome her newest great-grandbaby.

Embossing folder used is hearts by Cuttlebug. I embossed white cardstock then I sponged Bashful Blue stamp pad over it. Hearts are Sweet & Sassy Framelits by Stampin Up, footprints are computer clip art. Corner footprints were punched with a small hand punch. You’ll probably notice the name in the title is spelled a little different than on the card, well, she gave me the wrong spelling at first, but I did correct it. I just didn’t scan it again before it was mailed.
