steel trap

Hello and welcome. Yup, time again for d-o-s chuckle of the month.

Sentiment “My mind is like a steel trap, what goes in never comes out” was a statement hubby dear made one day. As soon as he said it, I thought that would make a good chuckle of the month card. I searched Google ‘old lady clip art’ for the image. Die cut squares are Stitched squares by Die-namic’s. For a little interest I scored the 4 corners.

yellow tulips

Hello and welcome. Today’s card came about because I wanted to use my new no name die set that I bought on Amazon.

White layer was run through a Cuttlebug ef, tulips are from an online coloring page colored with Copic’s. Frame is popped up. Since my hands don’t work so well the coloring isn’t the best but I think is acceptable.

ENGAGEMENT CONGRATULATIONS

Hello and welcome. A friend asked me to make an engagement card for their granddaughter, of course I jumped right on that.

The die cuts look grey in the photo, but they were cut from light blue metalic cardstock. Dies used are Opulent Swirls by Gemini, hearts are a small hand punch. Before die cutting I backed the metalic paper with double back sticky paper. My friend was very happy with it.

Merry Christmas

Hello and welcome. Thanks to the Peace On Earth Christmas challenge it’s never too early to start Christmas cards.

Background paper is from my stash, sentiment is computer clip art, poinsettia is from a coloring page colored with Copic’s. Before fussy cutting I adhered the flower to a second piece of cardstock for some stability. Poinsettia has some Wink of Stella on it and is popped up.

Drippy goo border is a Martha Stewart punch, large spider is an old Sizzix Sizzlit die, small spiders are an old Cuttlebug die. Spiders eyes are green and yellow Stickles, spiders are popped up.

Happy 83rd

Hello and welcome. Today’s card is for our b-i-l. Patterned paper was found online. White layer and blue squares were embossed with a Stampin Up diamond ef. The white panel and patterned papers were edged with a blue marker. I think the colored edges gives it a more finished look. Label is Stampin Up’s modern label and word window punches, sentiment was printed on the computer and label is popped up. Inside sentiment, found online, “It’s nice to be young, healthy, and full of energy… remember what that feels like?” If I put a nice sentiment in his card he wonders what he did to tick me off.

Amazing Birthday

Hello and welcome. I thought it was about time to make another fractured card. Patterned paper was found online, sentiment was found on Pinterest, party hats are computer clip art. Die used is Stitched Squares by Die-Namics. Blue strips are 1/2″ and the zig zag trim is from a very old Extended Sizlit by Sizix. This was so easy I feel like I cheated.

Congratulations Kaden

Hello and welcome. Today’s card is for our oldest great-grandson. Actually, he finished his classes in Oct. but decided to wait and walk with his class to get his diploma. He’s now going to school to go into law enforcement. We’re all very proud of him.

The design I first wanted just didn’t work for me so off to plan B. The school colors are red & white. Luckily I found this pp online. Sentiment was printed on the computer and red caps are clip art. Red brads were added for a little interest. This is very plain & simple but I like it.

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