Today’s card will be entered in JUGS Make a Tri-fold card. https://justusgirlschallenge.blogspot.com/2022/04/just-us-girls-wild-card-week-630.html

Cardstock is from a box of cs I bought at a local paper company several years ago. Pp is DCWV that I’ve had forever. Butterfly that is popped up is Butterfly Thinlits from SU. It’s a good thing the pp was a 12×12 sheet because I don’t do well with measuring and cutting angles. Here’s a link to the video https://stampwithlorraine.com/angled-tri-fold-card/

While perusing Pinterest I saw some quilt squares that I thought that might make a cool card. So, here’s my version of a quilt square

Card base 5×5. At first, I added the sentiment piece squared but then thought it would look much better cornered, kind of star shape. Embossing folder used for the corners is from SU, sentiment is from Gina K’s Dazzling Dahlias stamp set. Actually, I think it looks much better in real life.

Today’s card is for our great-grandson. Hard to believe we now have 2 teenage great-grandsons.

Card is from the Silhouette. The file cuts the card in one piece, but the front has no backing, so I cut it at 4 1/4 so I could mount it on a card front. The cut-out front looked kind of blah, so I embossed it. Before running it through SU’s Dots ef, I ran it through my Xyron so I’d be sure it would adhere really well. Inside just says “Happy First Teenage Birthday, Ryan!”

Thanks for stopping by. Any comments are greatly appreciated. Have a great day and stay healthy & safe.

Today’s card is for our b-i-l. When I found the sentiment “What, another birthday? Aren’t you old enough already?” I knew it would be perfect for him. I had a hard time coming up with a design till I thought of making a square card. The background papers and square brads were found in my stash. I would have liked a little larger brad but this is all I had.

Time again for a chuckle of the month for dear old sister. Sentiment “I always laugh when people try to hurt my feelings…as if I have any”. was found online, and image is online clip art.  Ef used is from SU but unfortunately, I don’t remember the name. Before embossing the background layer, I cut the circle using Spellbinders Classic Circle die. Sentiment tags were cut on my SU trimmer, I hand cut the ends and popped the strips up. 

Thanks for stopping by. have a great day and stay healthy & safe.

Glad you stopped by. Today’s card is for our s-i-l who is having his second hip replacement. To get ideas for a hip replacement card I went to Pinterest and found one with this sentiment. Color combination came about when I saw the color challenge at JUGS. It doesn’t show in the photo, but I scored all 4 sides of the black layer and corners on the white layer.

Hello and welcome. I want to wish you all a Happy Easter.
This treat box is for our neighbors 2 year old grandson. Every time he’s at grandma & grandpa’s he has to come to see Doug & Gerry, could that be because I always have a treat for him???
The box is from the Silhouette. Instead of stamping & coloring, I took the easy way out and used a clip art bunny and fussy cut it. Corner dots are a small circle hand punch, punched from pp. Inside has light green tissue paper that I cut the top edge with a MS scissors. I’m not sure but I think the scissors is called a fringe cutter.

Hello and welcome. Today Vegas is definitely the windy city. I was almost blown over walker and all.
Today’s card is for our 24 year old granddaughter. I usually make some kind of fun fold for her but this year she gets a “plain” old card. Pp was found online, sentiment was printed on the computer, ovals are Spellbinders Petite oval & Petite scalloped petite oval. After rounding the corners of the pp I edged all around with a Copic marker.

Thanks for stopping by.

Today’s card is for our 1 year old great-granddaughter. Pp was found online, image is from an online coloring page colored with Copics, fussy cut and put on a wobbler. Center strip was hand cut with a decorative scissors, sentiment was printed on the computer. Corners of pp were punched with a corner rounder punch.

Thank you for stopping by.
