what i deserve

Time again for dear-old-sister’s chuckle of the month. Sentiment “maybe someday I’ll finally get what I deserve, but I hope not” is from a Garfield cartoon. Image and thought bubbles were found online. After printing the sentiment I fussy cut bubbles and image. Oval is Spellbinders Scalloped Ovals, embossed border is Cuttlebug embossing borders. There are 5 different borders in the package. Normally I don’t emboss the card base nor the inside but I think it works well on this card.

Thanks for stopping by I really appreciate your visits. Have a great day and stay healthy & safe.

sunflower skeletons

Happy Labor Day.

For today’s I used black and calypso coral cs. Embossed layer was done with Sizzix 3-D Halloween ef. For the picture I Googled skeleton sunflower clip art. Sentiment was printed on the computer. I used my antique photo paper cutter for the picture and word strips, then used a cotton ball with black stamp pad to darken the word strips and popped them all up.

with deepest sympathy

Hello and welcome. The need for a sympathy card came earlier this week when hubby’s sister passed away. Tomorrow we’ll be going to MN for her funeral on Mon. She had dementia and was in a nursing home. Her daughter said she’s in a better place now. It was very hard for her children when she didn’t know who they were.

Sentiment was printed on the computer, flourish and border strip are Flourish Thinlits by Stampin Up. Iridescent Pearls from Stampin Up were add for little special touch.

christmas window

Hello and welcome. Today’s card was inspired by many window cards on Pinterest.

Patterned paper was found online. Window die is Memory Box Small Madison Window cut from a scrap on my desk. Tree was found on an online coloring page, colored with Copic’s and Spectrum Noir markers. Star has gold Stickles. Sentiment dies are Spellbinders Holiday Sentiments cut from white glitter paper. Since the tree was printed on white paper it looked too stark so I masked it and stippled the background with Distress Oxide gathered twigs.

happy birthday

Hello and welcome. When I saw this design on Pinterest I just knew I had to try it. I think it’s the colors that really caught my eye. Strips are 1/2″ and adhered to a piece of white cs, 3 3/4″ X 5″ then mounted on white cs 4″ x 5 1/4″. Sentiment circle was found online a long time ago. Die cut circles are Spellbinders scalloped and classic circles large.

cat in pumpkin

Hello and welcome. Today’s card will be for our 2 year old great-granddaughter who has 2 black kittens. Patterned paper was found online, image is from an online coloring page colored with Copic’s. Bow and nose have Wink of Stella for a little shine and Yellow Stickles were used to give light to the pumpkin. And of course, I couldn’t resist googly eyes. Grass is from a Martha Stewart punch and I used a stamp pad and sponge dauber to kind of dirty up the grass. Image and top layer of grass are popped up. Sentiment was printed in my Hallmark card program and I cut the card stock with my antique photo paper cutter. This will be entered in the following challenges.

sassy

Hello and welcome. Time again for dear-old-sister’s chuckle of the month. Again, sentiment was found while scrolling through Pinterest. Inside photo was with the sentiment, front photo was found while scrolling through Google. Background papers are double scored on 4 sides, front gems are from my stash. D-o-s could relate because she has never been able to learn my sassiness. LOL

Thanks for stopping by your visits mean a lot to me. Have a great day and stay healthy & safe!

happy birthday tower card

Hello and welcome. Today’s card is for our oldest great-grandson. YIKES!! that just doesn’t seem possible.

Card stock is Cajun Craze from Stampin Up. For the pp I Googled birthday background paper but then clicked on birthday gift wrap and that’s where I found what I really liked. Numbers are from the Silhouette double cut and topped with Glossy Accents. There’s not a lot of room for a sentiment but simple is good.

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