Hello and welcome. When I saw a card with layout on Pinterest, I knew I just had to try it. You can see it here https://sdbeansfromtheheart.blogspot.com/2017/08/christmas-card-using-sc657.html . Reading how she embossed the vellum I thought that was too interesting not to try it. To my surprise it worked the first time. Just put a piece of white cs in the folder and put the vellum on top.

From the mood board at Peace On Earth I decided to focus on the color green. All paper and embossing folder are from Stampin Up. Sentiment was printed in my Hallmark card program with holly clip art added.

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

Hello and welcome. Today’s card is for our great-grandson who’s turning 7. When I asked what he is into now his mom said he was into WWE all the way. The picture she sent me was taken after they had been bowling and I thought it was just perfect for this card. The wrestling background and the WWE belt were found online. Images were fussy cut. Sentiment was printed in my Hallmark card program. Fussy cutting the small photo was the most time-consuming part of this card.

Hello and welcome.

Today’s card is for our granddaughter’s 26th birthday. Since she’s always liked sparkly and I saw the Double D challenge was stars, I thought what’s more sparkly than stars.

Background paper was found online, center star was cut from glitter paper on the Silhouette, center die is Stitched Squares by Die-namics. I’ve had that birthday ribbon for years. The small stars are from Detailed Santa Thinlits from Stamipn Up. Before cutting the small stars I added double backed adhesive to the glitter cardstock. In the picture the ribbon that goes to the top and the bottom of the pp looks like a little different color, but it isn’t.

Hello and welcome. Another Christmas card done.

Again, patterned paper was found online, and image is clip art, die used is Stitched Ovals by Die-namics. Glitter music notes are a small hand punch. At first, I tried to color a stamped image, but my hands were not cooperating. I like this clip art image because it shows both lantern and music.

Hello and welcome. It has been a few years since I did any stenciling so I thought it’s time to try again. Since it’s been so long I decided not to use more than one color.

Stencil used is by Hero Arts, die cut tag is Spellbinders. For just a little sparkle I added Wink of Stella to the label. Sentiment was printed on the computer and punched with a Stampin Up punch and lightly sponged the edges with Whisteria Wonder. Pearls were in my stash.

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.
