Sewing and Reading

Hello and welcome. Today’s cards are the last 2 for our grandkids special gift.

Our oldest granddaughter has her own business making therapeutic corn wraps, so I thought a sewing theme was best for her. Die cut is Stitched Ovals by Die-namics. Half circle corner pieces have Wink of Stella on them but that doesn’t show well in the photo. Spools of thread are clip art.

Card with books is for our middle granddaughter who loves to read. She started “reading” books when she was 3. She now has quite a nice library in her house. Corners were punched with a small circle punch, label is Spellbinders. Both background papers were found online

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

l & d nurse

Hello and welcome. This is the second grandkids card. This granddaughter is a labor & delivery nurse. Hats in the center are clip art. Die used is Stitched Squares by Die-namics. Thank goodness for the internet, it makes my card making much easier.

Going Solar

Hello and welcome. This summer I will be giving each of our 4 grandkids a special surprise gift, so I am making a personalized card for each of them. Today’s card is for our grandson who installs solar panels.

Luckily, I found this picture of a man installing solar panels. Name tag and corner strips were cut with an antique paper cutter and sponged edges with Night of Navy. The “things” on the name tag are solar tools I found online. Jake will know what they are, but I sure don’t.

Pink Christmas

Hello and welcome. That’s right a Pink Christmas.

White background was run through a snowflake ef by The Paper Studio. For the stocking top, heel & toe I used a dots ef from Stampin Up. Labels are Spellbinders. Pink label and stocking, from the Silhouette, were cut from snowflake patterned paper found online. Sentiment was printed on the computer and punched out with the word window punch from Stampin Up, small snowflakes are a small hand punch.

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.
