homemade goodness

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.

GREEN AND CREAM BIRTHDAY

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.

FRACTURED SQUARE

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.

taking the next step

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.

glowing pumpkins

Hello and welcome. Today’s card is for our 6-year-old great-grandson. And as usual the background paper was found online. Using my Silhouette, it was much easier sizing it to 5 1/4″ x 4″. Pumpkins stack is from an online coloring page, colored with Copic’s and yellow Stickles for facial features. After coloring I added a second layer of card stock then fussy cut. Image is popped up. Not to toot my own horn but I think it turned out pretty cute.

granddaughter birthday

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.

christmas vellum # 2

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.

vellum christmas

Hello and welcome. Today’s card is another addition to my Christmas stash. I saw several Christmas cards using vellum on Pinterest and luckily I had some embossed Christmas vellum in my stash. Patterned paper is also from my stash. Sentiment circle is computer clip art cut with Spellbinders Classic Circles and popped up. Circle looks like it has splatters on it but it’s actually little stars and snowflakes. To adhere the vellum I ran it through my Xyron.

window sheet anniversary

Hello and welcome. Today’s card is for our granddaughter & grandson-i-l. It’s been ages since I’ve made a window sheet card. As usual the pp was found online. Die used for the sentiment is one I found on Amazon but don’t have a name for it. Sentiment was printed on the computer, inside hearts are from a small hand punch. The bottom panel, for our signature, is also a gift card/money holder. The Cajun Craze cs from Stampin Up is one of my favorite fall colors. I really enjoyed making this and am pretty pleased with it.
