Hello and welcome. Today’s card happened because I just can’t resist making Halloween cards. Background paper was in my stash, creepy guys are from a die set by ALLIBBON bought on Amazon, bats are from a Tim Holtz Sizzix die set. Before die cutting, I added adhesive back paper to the cs. Sentiment was printed in my Hallmark card program. I used the Tim Holtz distress tool on the background paper then used a cotton ball with black ink to darken the edges. I am pretty happy with this one.

Hello and welcome. Today’s card is for our grandson-in-law. After finding this distressed look pp online I thought this layout would be perfect. The pp pieces were cut with my antique paper cutter giving the edges kind of a torn look. Die cuts for the sentiment are Stitched Squares by Die-namics, sentiment was printed in my Hallmark card program. Die cut is popped up. I used the Tim Holtz distress tool on the edges of the white layer. I wasn’t too sure about it, but hubby liked it, so I guess it’s ok.

Hello and welcome. Today’s card is for a very dear friend. After getting a new cell phone that’s bigger than the one I had I asked her to crochet me a new pouch for it. I always have the pouch with the phone in it hanging on my wheelchair, so the phone is always with me.

Patterned papers were found online, sentiment die was gifted to me. The sentiment is popped up. I’m so proud of myself, this is the first time I was able to actually print the papers double sided.

Hello and welcome. When I saw that Double D’s challenge was for kiddo’s I thought a silly monster card would be fun to make. I decided on an easel back pocket card. Patterned paper was found online, monster is from Stampin Up’s Owl Punch. Top layer on the insert was run through an ef from Sizzix. Googly eyes were in my stash; nose is a hand punched circle cut in half. I was having trouble coming up with a mouth, so I Googled silly monster mouth clip art printed one off and fussy cut it. To make the monster look a little creepier I used a cotton ball and black stamp pad to mess it up.

Hello and welcome. Today’s card is for our great-grandson. The idea for this card came from Pinterest. To add a little texture to the white layer I scored diagonally every 1/2″ in both directions. Balloons are from the Silhouette. Since my handwriting is so bad I had hubby write the letters on the balloons. Circle dies are Spellbinders Scalloped and Classic circles. Sentiment and number were done on the computer. Balloon strings are from my stash. Card is 5 x 5. I was a little worried about how it might turn out but I’m very pleased with it.

Background paper was found online. Pumpkins are from an online coloring page colored with Copic’s and fussy cut. The two stacked pumpkins are popped up. Sentiment was printed in my Hallmark card program, then I tore the cs around the sentiment and spooked it up using a cotton ball and Chocolate Chip stamp pad and popped it up.
