Hello and welcome. Today’s card is for my favorite son-in-law. Our daughter and her hubby have birthday’s one day apart.

Card is a shaped card file from the Silhouette. Once all the pieces were cut, I just had to put them together. It was quite easy. Card stock is Crum Cake from Stampin Up, pp is The Paper Studio, twine from my stash, sentiment is from Gina K’s Birthday Blessings. My next card will be for their anniversary, a week before the birthdays.

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

Hello and welcome. Today’s card is for our daughter’s 50th birthday. I had made one of these peek-a-boo cards for our son’s 50th so our daughter gets one too.

Papers are all The Paper Studio from Hobby Lobby, ovals are Spellbinders Scalloped and Classic ovals. Numbers are from the Silhouette, doubled with Glossy Accents on them. Photo corners are from a hand punch then I ran them through a dots embossing folder. Inside sentiment was printed on the computer then fussy cut with a decorative scissors. Her 50 year picture is a selfie.

Hello and welcome. Since I’ve really enjoyed making trellis cards, I thought that design would could make a cool Halloween card. I found the patterned paper across the top panel online then saved it to my Halloween file. For this card I just resized it. I started thinking the “planks” would look pretty cool cut from distressed wood pp. So of course I Googled Distressed wood background paper and found just what I wanted. Skull is a sticker I found in my stash, bats, spiders, ghost are die cuts also found in my stash. I added red stickles to the bats, yellow to the spiders and black to the ghost’s eyes. Top of ghost is popped with double pop dots, other images just have single pop dots.

Hello and welcome. I found the idea for today’s card on Pinterest.

Lemons are from an online coloring page colored with Copic’s and fussy cut. You’re the zest image was also found online then cut with Die-namics stitched circles die. Circle is popped up. Since my brain doesn’t do well with measurements and spacing this took me a couple tries but I’m very happy with the end result.

Hello and welcome. The idea for today’s card was found on Pinterest.

There’s a little story behind this one that I’ll get to in a minute. All papers are Stampin Up, die used is Spellbinders Classic Diamonds, sentiment was printed on the computer, crown is computer clip art with small clear gems from my stash, stars are from a small hand punch with Wink of Stella added.

Here’s the story: Our granddaughter did the first semester of her sophomore year of college in New Zeeland. When she met her new “mates” she told them she was Junior Miss Minnesota and they believed her. After she told us that, hubby told me I should somehow use that for her birthday card. So, I thought it definitely needed a crown on it and the inside sentiment just says, “Happy Birthday to the former Junior Miss Minnesota.” I’m not entirely happy with it but she’ll like it.

Hello and welcome. Lattice cards have become one of my favorites to make and this one is for my niece. I usually make kind of a snarky card for her but all I did this year was to show her age.

Pp is from a pad bought at Joanne’s. Numbers are from an old Sizzix Sizzlet set, double cut then I added some Wink of Stella. Candles were cut on the Silhouette, and I used yellow Stickles on the flames. Embossing folder used is from Sizzix (sorry I don’t know the name). I also added a piece of pp to the inside behind the lattice part.

Happy Memorial Day. Today’s card is very simple but very heartfelt.

My b-i-l has been visiting for a couple of days and since this is Memorial Day and he served in Korea I thought it would be very appropriate. The flag border and soldier image were both found online, and I printed the sentiment in my Hallmark card program. This will be on his plate at the dinner table tonight.

Hello and welcome. Just a little history for this card. When our daughter was 12 she became very good friends with 4 girls, they are now turning 50 this year and are still very close. This is the first marriage for one of them. Three of them have been in long term marriages and the other one will probably never get married. I think it is just amazing they have all stayed so close for so many years. OK, enough yammering, now on to the card.

Dies used are from Crafter’s Companion Opulent Swirls. To make it easier to adhere them I added double back sticker paper to the cs before cutting. Hearts are from EK punches. First, I punched the tiny hearts then centered the larger one over the cutout. In the photo the hearts blue looks a little different because they’re from glitter paper, but in real life they match. Sentiment was printed on the computer. Inside sentiment was found on Pinterest.

Hello and welcome. Today’s card will be entered in two challenges.

When I first saw this pp online, I knew I just had to use it. After finding this penguin cut file on the Silhouette a layout started coming together. Frame is a Torn Edge die from I don’t know who. Snowflake pp was also found online. I felt the featured penguin needed to be on paper other than the penguin pattern. Being so small, it was a little tedious putting that little guy together. After he was put together I realized I probably should have used a blue pp for the scarf so instead, I dropped a small amount on Craft White reinker on a piece of paper and used a small stylus to add dots to the scarf. Then I added white fun flock to the hat top & bottom and the earmuffs. And of course I just had to use googly eyes and popped him up.
