golfing Skeleton

Hello and welcome. Yup, another personalized card. This one is also for a busser at our favorite restaurant, who plays a lot of golf. We’ve been going to this restaurant so long the entire staff is like our second family. We’ve known this guy for several years and since our grandson, the same age, is in MN he very kindly listens to my grandmotherly advice. Background paper and golfer image were found online, gates are a Tim Holts die set.

Rockin Skeleton

Hello and welcome. Today’s card is for the busser that keeps our coffee filled every Tues. morning. He recently told us he plays bass guitar in a band, so I just had to find a skeleton playing a guitar. It’s amazing what you can find online. Pp and image were both found online. It took a little trial and error to get the sentiment placed just right. I’m very happy with it and hubby likes it too. I found the measurements here https://imastamping.blogspot.com/2023/09/bag-of-bones-missing-middle.html

creepy orange and black

Hello and welcome. This turned out to be a very fun card to make. I love those creepy little guys from a no name die set I got on Amazon and thought they might make a fun fractured card. Bats are from a Tim Holtz die set. Sentiment square is Stitched Squares by Die-namics. Background paper and sentiment were both found online. The strips were cut using an antique photo paper cutter.

Birthday Arrow

Hello and welcome. I thought it was about time to try a different fold. Thank goodness there were measurements posted on Pinterest. Patterned paper was found online. Before adhering the pp I edged the pieces with a marker matching the cardstock color. Flower is from a small hand punch with Wink of Stella added for a little sparkle, center gem is from my stash. Sentiment was printed on the computer and punched out with Stampin Up’s word window punch and mounted on the modern label punch.

Writing Book

Hello and welcome. Time again for d-o-s chuckle card. As usual sentiment “I’m writing a book about all the things I should be doing. It’s called my oughtobigrophy.” and image were found online. I thought a slim line card would work best with this image. These monthly chuckles are so fun to come with.

Simple Thanksgiving

Hello and welcome. Thought I’d take a break from Halloween and work on Thanksgiving cards.

Background paper is from Echo Park, die cuts are Spellbinders Labels 4. Sentiment was printed in my Hallmark card program with computer clip art leaves added. Labels are popped up. This is one of the easiest cards I’ve ever made but that’s o.k.

Trick Or Treat

Hello and welcome. Oh, how I love making Halloween cards. Pp was found online, sentiment was printed in my Hallmark card program. It really doesn’t show but I added black Wink of Stella to the letters hoping for a little shine. Images are from the Silhouette. Buttons were run through a striped ef and I scored a few lines on the pumpkin for a little texture. When I practice cut the images to get the size right, I used dark green cs because my black supply is getting low, but the size was right and the dark green actually looks good.
