passing out treats

Hello and welcome. Again, my background paper was found online. Silhouette images are from the Silhouette, ghosts are from a very old Provo Craft metal multi-images die. After getting the Silhouette images sized right it was fairly easy to make. This will be entered in 3 Halloween challenges.

new home

Hello and welcome. Today’s card is for my nail gal and her hubby who are just moving into a new house. Since most homes here in the desert are stucco, I went online and found a stucco background paper. Window is Small Madison Window die by Memory Box. Curtains are edges cut from a paper doily, cactus plant is online clip art and fussy cut. Sentiment strips were cut on my paper trimmer then I hand cut the ends. I’ll be giving a small cactus plant with the card.

Hello and welcome. Remembering how much my daughter and her friends used to love playing with Strawberry Shortcake Dolls I thought I could fit that into the current Double D challenge. So, this will be entered in the challenge then sent to my daughter. It’s about time I send her a ‘just because’ card.

Background paper was found online, and Strawberry Shortcake and strawberries are from online coloring pages. Images were colored with Copic’s and fussy cut. The idea for a lattice card came when I looked at the last lattice card I made. I hope this will bring fond memories to my daughter.

happy 14th birthday

Hello and welcome.

Oh my, great-grandchildren grow up way too fast. Today’s card is for our second oldest great-grandson. I didn’t really have any idea of what kind of card to make but I thought a black & white background might be kind of cool so off to Google I went and found this kind of funky pattern. Then I thought a funky background should have a wonky square accent. Wonky square is from the Silhouette, then I printed the sentiment from my Hallmark program. My little brain just hasn’t figured out the print and cut feature of the Silhouette. Square is popped up. Here’s a look at the inside.

butterflies and roses

Hello and welcome. Well, I finally finished my first lattice card. Because the creative part of my brain was on vacation this took longer than it should have. I’m actually kind of pleased with the end result.

Patterned paper on the top front and lower inside was found online, die cut rose is Gina K’s Tropical Blooms colored with Copic’s, butterflies are Butterfly 2 from Dies R Us. Butterflies have a piece of mounting tape in the center so the wings aren’t attached to the background.

young once

Hello and welcome. Today’s card is for our b-i-l. Since I didn’t have any actual burlap, I found burlap background paper online. Sentiment was also found online. Because the paper looks burlapy I thought this wonky edge unnamed die set would work well. Sentiment piece is popped up. Corner gold pieces are from my stash. Below is a look at the inside.

Seeing the “frame” from the die cut I thought it would be perfect for inside.

wedding day

Hello and welcome. My BFF since 3rd grade asked me to make a wedding card for her granddaughter, and of course I was happy to do it. She is very happy with it.

Silhouette image was found online, sentiment was printed in my Hallmark program, frame is from Frantic Stamper Inc., Ovals and Filagree Frame. Below is a look at the inside sentiment.

birthday advice

Hello and welcome. Today’s card is for a very special gal who appreciates my humor. After a couple years of her being our favorite server we became very good friends.

Patterned paper and sentiments were found online. Outside sentiment is a recent find and the inside sentiment has been in my file for several years. I thought they combined pretty well. Oval die is Stitched Ovals by Di-namics. That seems to be my go-to die lately.
