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.

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.

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.

Hello and welcome. Today’s card is for my sweet nail gal. She is so accommodating if I have to change an appointment.

I saw this design on Pinterest, and I just happened to have that Stampin Up pattern paper book and I also had a couple doilies in my stash. Circle dies used are Spellbinders Classic Circles. Sentiment was printed on the computer with some clip art hearts added. I’m very happy with it.

Hello and welcome. The idea for today’s card came from Pinterest. The cards I saw had strips of pp paper under the cut-out heart but when I looked at my ribbon stash on the wall, I thought why not use ribbon. After printing the sentiment and cutting the heart, SU’s Sweet & Sassy Framelits, I ran the cs through the SU hearts ef. Small hearts are hand punched from glitter paper.
