Hello and welcome. Today’s card is for my bonus grandson aka, favorite busser. While perusing Pinterest I saw several cards with a similar layout and using foil. I tried embossing the foil but that didn’t go well for me, so I just crumpled it. After it was all put together, I thought if I used a black stamp pad and a brayer it might soften the glare of the foil. So, I took it apart, used a different piece of foil, brayered it and was happy with the result and put it back together. Center square is Stitched Squares by Die-namics with sentiment printed on the computer. Square is popped up.

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

Hello and welcome. Time again for dear-old-sisters’ chuckle of the month card.

Leprechaun and 4 inside clovers are from an online coloring page colored with Copic’s, border was also found online. Well, isn’t this just one of the shortest posts ever???

Hello and welcome. It’s been a while since I’ve entered the Two Old Bats challenge, so I decided it’s about time to get back to it.

Today’s card was quite simple. Pp was found online, and Mr. Creepy is from the Silhouette. I sort of softened him with a cotton ball and Basic Gray stamp pad. He’s double popped up. Using a single pop dot didn’t raise him quite enough so I doubled them. Jus before I took the picture, I thought the eyes needed a little something, so I added Black Diamond Stickles.

Hello and welcome. After a wonderful 4 days with our granddaughter I’m back in my craft room.

Today’s card is for our busser who takes very good card of us every week. Unfortunately, his dad recently passed away. He is such a nice young man I just had to let him know how sorry we are for his loss.

Pp is from SU, die used is Swirly Scribbles Thinlits from SU. Sentiment was printed on the computer and punched with SU’s Small Oval punch and popped up. This was a very quick and easy card.

Hello and welcome. If you’re in the path of the nasty snowstorm I hope you stay safe.

Today’s card is my first try at a double angle tri-fold. Since the measure part of my brain doesn’t work well, I wasted more than a few pieces of pp. Card base is my last piece of SU’s Old Olive cs and the pp had been in my stash for several years. Scalloped circle is Spellbinders Scalloped Circle die, sentiment circle was found online and punched with a 1 3/8″ circle punch. I think I’ll be sending this to our d-i-l.

Hello and welcome. We just got the wonderful news that our youngest granddaughter is coming for a long weekend. So, of course, grandma just had to make a welcome card for her. After seeing so many double point cards on Pinterest, I decided to give it a try. I kind of made it my own by gluing the points down on the front. Die cuts are Spellbinders Labels 4, sentiment was printed on the computer. Labels are popped up, circle punches are a small hand punch and adhered with Glue Dots. Pp is a piece I found in my stash that I think is from Stampin Up.

Hello and welcome.

Today’s card is for the family of our neighbor. We were very good friends with them, but now, he passed, and she will be moving to CO to be near their son. I’ll miss them both.

Flower was a silhouette I found online, and I printed the sentiment in my Hallmark program. Die cut is by Elementals #12-Ovals and Filigree frame by Frantic Stamper Inc. I recently bought some double stick paper to use with intricate dies so it’s much easier to adhere them. Hopefully I won’t be in need of a sympathy card again soon.

Hello and welcome. Time again for dear-old-sister’s chuckle of the month.

As soon as I saw the sentiment…“I have taken up cross-fit… I cross my fingers and hope that my clothes fit.” I thought of d-o-s because one of her granddaughters & husband own a cross-fit gym. The lovely lady image was found online. Edges of the white layer were cut on an antique paper cutter, then I used a cotton ball with Rich Razzleberry stamp pad to create a border.

Hello and welcome. Today’s card, actually I made 2, are just because cards for our 2 kids. We usually send them a Valentine with little cash so they can enjoy a nice ‘romantic’ dinner. Well, this year we didn’t so they will be getting a just because card so they can enjoy a just because dinner.

All pp is from my stash. I decided to run the background piece through a Sizzix ef. I never embossed pp before but I kind of like it. Circle dies used are Stitched Circles from Die-namics. Red strip was run the Tiny Bubbles ef by Cuttlebug.
