Hello and welcome. Today’s card is for our daughter’s m-i-l who was just diagnosed with lung cancer for the third time. The first time she had surgery and chemo, second time just surgery. This time it’s inoperable so she’s having radiation treatments. I want her to know we’re thinking of her and hoping for the best.

Patterned paper was found online, labels are Spellbinders Labels 1, sentiment was printed on the computer. Labels are popped up. I’m very proud of myself for cutting only one piece of pp wrong.

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

Hello and welcome. Today’s card is for our son-in-law. Patterned paper was in my stash, die cut square is Stitched Squares by Die-namics, printing was done on the computer. For the 1/4″ strips I ran a piece of gray cardstock through Stampin Up’s Corrugated Dynamic ef. before cutting.

Since we live in Sun City and he really enjoys coming to visit, the inside of his card says, “Congratulations, you are now eligible to live in Sun City”. I’m such a sweet m-i-l.

Hello and welcome. I finally got the courage to try making a three point card. Unfortunately, when I had it all done, I realized I didn’t leave a border around the inside patterned paper. Well, I decided it’s going the way it is. This is for our daughter & s-i-l’s 29 anniversary and they’ll forgive my mistake.

Patterned paper was found online, Dies used are unnamed stitched ovals that I bought on Amazon. Die cut sentiment is popped up.

Hello and welcome. Today’s card was started last week with some input from my daughter. She picked out a little beach girl from an online coloring page, but my fingers were not cooperating with coloring. The arthritis in my fingers has been pretty nasty lately so I’ve been wearing compression gloves most of the time and using markers doesn’t work too well. So, I looked for beach girl clip art on the computer. Puppy was in my stash. Girl and puppy were fussy cut, clip art beach ball was punched with Stampin Up’s 1 1/2″ circle punch. I printed Happy Birthday on the ball before punching. Sky was made using a cotton ball with Soft Sky stamp pad and a handmade paper cloud template. Ocean background paper was in my stash. To tear the wavy edge, I used an old tearing tool from Stampin Up. Paper for the sand was found online and I tore the top edge. Since my daughter helped me with the layout but I didn’t finish the card while she was here I will send this to her for her birthday.

Thanks for stopping by I really appreciate you taking the time. Have a great day and try to stay out of the heat.

Hello and welcome. Yay, another Christmas card done. PP is Echo Park, center die is Stitched Squares by Die-namics, center ornament is computer clip art. Sentiment was printed on the computer and punched with Stampin Up’s Modern Label and word window punches. It might be a little much to have the pp strips on top of the green, but I like it.

In about an hour we’re heading to the airport to pick up our daughter. I’m so excited.

Hello and welcome. I was in need of a sympathy card, so I looked on Pinterest for ideas. I found several using this Tim Holtz corner die and I really liked this layout. Sentiment was printed in my Hallmark card program then I did the die cut. Butterfly die is Flourishing Elements by Gemini. I put double back adhesive on a piece of cardstock before cutting the butterfly.

Hello and welcome. Can’t believe I’m posting twice in one day. For some reason I really wanted to make a Halloween card using this sentiment. Background paper is from Scrapbook.com, witch was cut on the Silhouette and is popped up with dimensionals. Card is 5 x 5. The hardest part for me was getting the printing placed right. I like the fact that in my Hallmark program I can make the font kind of wavy.

Hello and welcome. Oh yes, time again for DOS’s chuckle. Sentiment, “Sometimes you may feel like there’s no one there for you, but you know who’s always there for you? Laundry. Laundry will always be there for you.” was found online. For the image I Googled lonely old ladies clip art. To add a little interest, I scored all four edges. Very quick and simple. She loved it.

Hello and welcome. After several videos and attempts I finally got a Fan Fold card done. I don’t know what my problem was, but I just couldn’t get the pieces cut right. PP was found online, die cut label is an Amazon purchase. Sentiment was printed in my Hallmark card program, and I printed it out in navy blue. I’m actually pretty pleased with it.
