Hello and welcome. Today’s card is for our grandson’s 23rd birthday. After seeing several cards made with aluminum foil I thought that would make a fun card for a young man. I slightly crumbled the foil then ran it through SU’s Seaside ef. Rectangles are from Spellbinders, band is strips cut with my paper cutter. The 4 gems on the sentiment piece are from my stash. Corner spots are hand punched then covered with Glossy Accents. This was very quick and easy to do.

Thanks for stopping by I really appreciate your visits. Have a great day and stay healthy & safe.

Hello and welcome.

Because I really like the split circle cards I’ve been seeing, I really wanted to make a Christmas one. White layer is embossed with Cuttlebug Snow Flakes ef. Circles and sentiment dies are Spellbinders. Sentiment was cut from white glitter paper, gems are from my stash. Hubby really liked this one so I guess it’s OK.

Thanks for stopping by your visit means a lot to me. Have a great day and stay healthy & safe.

Hello and welcome. I hope those of you on the east coast are staying safe from the heavy snow.

This card will be entered in CYHTP with twist of wreath. Ef is by Tim Holtz, wreath is Spellbinders Scalloped and Classic Circles. Bow is computer clip art and fussy cut, gems are from my stash. Banner was in my digi stamp file and fussy cut, sentiment was done on the computer. I lightly sponged a darker gray on the embossed layer. Sorry the gems are kind of wonky spaced.

Thanks for stopping by your visits are important to me. Have a great day and stay healthy & safe.

Hello and welcome.

Today’s card is dear-old-sister’s chuckle of the month. Sentiment “I’m thankful for my family, friends, this meal and… that I saw which part of the turkey the dog was licking.” was found somewhere online. Pp was found online, dies used were bought from Amazon. When I die cut the pp I used a 5 /4 x 4″ piece of paper and was able to use the frame for the inside.

Hello and welcome.

I got the idea for this card on Pinterest. I’m not too sure I like the way mine turned out. I need some honest opinions on it. Hat is from the Silhouette, burlap was in my stash, corrugated piece was in a card from my niece, pp was online, leaves are a small hand punch. Edges of the layered pieces were cut on an antique photograph paper cutter. The antique cutter was gifted to me by one of my brothers-in-law. Even though I’m not really happy with it I’m entering it in The Crafting Happiness Challenge Thanksgiving- Fall. I know that doesn’t make a lot of sense but I do a lot of things to don’t make sense.

Hello and welcome. Fall has definitely arrived here in the desert, we even turned the heat on to take the chill off.

Today’s card will probably be for our daughter & s-i-l. Corrugated piece is one my niece put in a card she sent to me. Thankful circle and pp are from online, corner leaves are from a small hand punch I’ve had forever. Circle dies are Spellbinder Classic and Scalloped Circles. Center strip was cut on an antique paper cutter that was used by photo developers. Sentiment circle is popped up. For a more finished look I edged the outer edges of the pp & corrugated paper with Cajon Craze stamp pad.

I’m entering this in 2 challenges

Hello and welcome.

Today’s money holder card is for payment to our granddaughter for another of her therapeutic corn wraps. This time I got one big enough for my back.

Again, pp is from online, die cut leaves are from no name dies from Amazon. I found the pattern on Connie Stewart’s Simply Simple Stamping YouTube page. This was too quick & easy. Below is a peek of the inside.

Hello and welcome.

Today’s card is for one of my sisters-in-law. As usual, pp is from online, circle dies are Stitched Circles by Die-namics, sentiment is from an old Stampin Up set Birthday Blossoms, sentiment and background pieces were hand cut. To round the corners on the small pieces I used a nail emery file. Center strip is a 1/8″ strip of Chocolate Chip cs.
