Hello and welcome. When I started this card, my intention was to give it to my nail gal, but it didn’t turn out like I had hoped. Pumpkin stack was cut on the Silhouette. The faces, that I used yellow Stickles on, ended up a little messy but hey, it’s a Halloween card so goofy faces are acceptable. Fence was made from woodgrain paper that was run through a tree bark ef by Cuttlebug, then I lightly sponged black ink on it and cut into 1/2″ strips. The “buckle” on the hat band was hand drawn with a gold metalic pen that was gifted to me. Fence and stacked pumpkin are popped up. Background paper is a light purple with spiders and webs on it. Even though I’m not really happy with it I still might give it to her.

Hello and welcome. Oh yes, time again for dear-old-sister’s chuckle of the month. Image is from an online coloring page, colored with Prisma colored pencils and Gamsol. Debossed edges are from a Cuttlebug edge embossing folder. Sentiment “I was going to quit all my bad habits I really, really was. But then it occurred to me that no one likes a quitter” was found online. The hair was colored pink because my d-o-s let her granddaughter color her hair pink. Now, that is true grandmotherly love. It really doesn’t look too bad.

Hello and welcome. Today’s card is just a single layer post card. Our neighbor, who shares her grandson with us, is the best bread baker ever. She bakes bread very often and graciously shares it with us. Along with the bread these past two weeks she also brought over homemade vegetable & split pea soups. So, I thought it would be nice to add a thank you with the return of her dishes. The pictures are online clip art, and I scored 1/4″ on all 4 sides.

Hello and welcome. Today’s card is for my dear sister-in-law. This layout was found on Pinterest. The one I really liked was an A6 size but I decided to make it a 5 x 7. Patterned paper and base cardstock are from Stampin Up, cream layer was in my stash. Sentiment diamond is Stitched Squares by Die-namics, sentiment was printed on the computer with clip art candles added. My first thought, while putting it together, was yuk. However, once it was done, I liked it, and best of all, hubby liked it too.

Card base is 10 x 7 folded at 5, background paper is 4 3/4 x 6 3/4, pp is 6 1/4 x 4 1/4 cut corner to corner both directions.

I’m entering this at Cardz 4 Galz is green & cream challenge.

Hello and welcome. Yes, I’m still hung up on the fractured layout. Since this is 5 x 5 I used a 2 1/4″ square die instead of the 2 1/8″ used on the A2 size. Patterned paper is another one found online, die used is Stitched Squares by Die-namics. While printing the sentiment I went online to find fall leaves clip art then brought them in and sized and placed them. It took several attempts to get the spacing right. Now I’m telling myself “self, it’s time for a different design.” We’ll see how well I listen to that.

Hello and welcome. Today’s card is for two of the best servers ever. She’s our server and he is also a server at the same place. They’ve been together for several years and just the two of them are going to the courthouse, nothing fancy for these two, so, I decided on a very simple sentiment “Congratulations on taking this next step”.

Die cut is Opulent Swirls by Gemini, hearts are from 2 hand punches. First I punched the small one then the larger one around it. This is the second wedding card I’ve made with this layout.

Hello and welcome. Today’s card is for our oldest granddaughter.

I’ve had the patterned paper, from Stampin UP, for years. Sentiment was printed on the computer, gems are Opal Rounds from Stampin Up. This was so quick and easy I almost feel guilty. For some reason I’ve gotten hooked on making fractured cards.

Hello and welcome. Today I decided to go green. The vellum package used is from Stampin Up. Patterned paper is from my stash. For the sentiment circle I found holly circle clip art online, brought it into my Hallmark card program, sized it and printed the Merry Christmas, cut it with Stitched Circles by Die-namics. I don’t like this one as well as the red one from yesterday but I think it’s ok.
