Hello and welcome. While perusing Pinterest I came across an Easter card with a yellow checked bunny and thought it was so cute. The one I saw had a small grass border but since I don’t have a grass border stamp I found some grass border clip art on Google. After printing the grass I used Spellbinders Labels Small then with a cotton ball and Bashful Blue stamp pad to lightly add some sky color. Bunny is from a coloring page, fussy cut and popped up. Sentiment is from Stampin Up’s Easter Blossoms stamp set (I’m sure long retired). Going through my Easter stash I found the little chicken stickers and yellow bow. I think some of the stuff in my Easter stash must be 20 years old.

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

Hello and welcome. Yep, time again for DOS chuckle card.

Colored cs was dry embossed with a stripe ef by The Paper Studio, image is clip art, sentiment, “Before you judge someone walk a mile in their shoes. After that, who cares? They’re a mile away and you have their shoes.” was found online. Quick, easy and snarky.

Hello and welcome. It’s time to start my Easter cards.

As usual the pp was found online. It’s unusual for me but I decided to dry emboss the pp. Ef used is Dots from Stampin Up. Bunnies are online clip art, Circles are Spellbinders classic & scalloped circle dies. Sentiment is a no name die I recently bought on Amazon. I double cut the sentiment for more stability then I used Wink of Stella for a little shine.

Hello and welcome. Sunday night my cousin passed away after years of dementia and other health issues. Today’s card will go to his surviving brother.

Starting out all I had in mind was to use this Tim Holtz die, once I decided on a color combo the rest came easy. Before cutting the die, I backed the cs with double stick paper and embossed it after cutting. The embossing folder I used is Swirls by Cuttlebug. Ovals and flowers are from hand punches, sentiment was printed on the computer.

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

Hello and welcome. After seeing Stamp Buddy Lisa Babitz scrambled box card and what the Double D challenge was I just had to try it. Lisa was so kind to provide the measurements. For the pp I Googled St. Patric’s Day backgrounds and found this one. Card base is white with a green panel then I added the pp to a white piece of cs. Sentiment was printed on the computer. I hope I did justice to Lisa’s design.

I’m so sorry but I was not able to post this on Double D.

Hello and welcome. There’s a group of 8 people that are always at our favorite restaurant the same night we are. Two of the women are really good bakers and when they bring in dessert for their group (and the staff) they always share with us. Last week, on Valentine’s Day, they brought two desserts and not only shared with us, but also our friends that were with us.

Both patterned papers and the clip art thank you’s were found online. Die used is Stitched Squares by Die-namics. I didn’t want them exactly the same, so I made one a 5×5 square.

Hello and welcome. Lately I’ve been seeing a lot of faux twisted ribbon cards and just had to try it. Card stock is Blushing Bride from Stampin Up, pp was found online, ef used is Cuttlebug’s Happy Birthday. I’m thinking of sending this to our daughter-in-law, but I need some honest opinions of it first.

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 dear old sister, her chuckle of the month.

Patterned paper was found online, wine glass is computer clip art that I added a clip art smiley heart to. Die cuts are Stitched Ovals by Die-namics. Sentiment was found online. Inside says “Because you can’t drink flowers.” She loved it.

Thanks for stopping by I really appreciate you taking the time. Have a great day and stay healthy & safe. Happy Valentine’s Day!

Hello and welcome. Today’s card is for our favorite breakfast server. Since she also sings in band, I thought a music theme card would be fun. The whole staff at this restaurant are almost like family.

I went online to find music note patterned paper. After downloading it to my Hallmark card program I added the Happy Birthday song. It needed some kind of embellishment and I just happened to have a small music note punch in my stash. I experimented with using Glossy Accents or Wink of Stella on the punched notes but decided I liked the notes just plane.
