Hello and welcome. Everything for this card was found online but on different websites. It took me more than a few tries to get the image and sentiment sized and placed just right. I used Prisma Colored pencils for the “queen’s” face, the rest or her coloring was done with Copic’s. This was really kind of fun to put together.

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

Hello and welcome. Today’s card is for one of our granddaughter’s & hubby. The anniversary background paper was found looking online at anniversary gift wrap. Sorry I don’t have a name of the die used for the center panel. Corner hearts are from a small hand punch I’ve had for years. At first, I had the hearts punched from glitter paper but didn’t really think they looked right so I punched some from the same blue cardstock then added clear Wink of Stella for a little glimmer. Sentiment was printed in my Hallmark card program. I’m not really happy with it but it’s better than the first one I came up with.

Hello and welcome. After seeing several cards with this layout on Pinterest, I just had to try it. I wasn’t too sure about the end result, but hubby likes it so I guess it’s ok. PP was found online, die cuts are Spellbinders Scalloped and Classic circles, sentiment is computer generated, gems are from my stash. This probably took longer than it should, but I was having a little problem getting the folded corners just right. Measuring and folding are not my strong suits.

Hello and welcome. Today’s card is for my BFF since 3rd grade. Musical background paper was found online, and I add the words on the computer. I rounded the corners and used a marker on the edges of the pp. This was so quick and easy I really feel like I cheated big time. She liked it and that’s what counts.

Hello and welcome. It’s hard to believe but our oldest great-grandson is turning 20. YIKES!!

After embossing white cs with the Cuttlebug Happy Birthday ef, I colored it using a brayer and black stamp pad. Sentiment was printed in my Hallmark card program then cut with Stitched Squares die from Die-namics. This is the first time a made a fractured card with an embossed background. I wasn’t too sure about the finished product till hubby said he really liked it.

Hello and welcome. Time again for d-o-s chuckle card. As usual, sentiment, image and background paper were found online. Sentiment “I made a huge to do list today… I just can’t figure out who’s going to do it.” Dies used were bought on Amazon. It’s so fun making snarky cards for d-o-s.

I’m so excited, tomorrow we’re going to MN for our granddaughter’s wedding on Fri. The ceremony will be outside with the reception in a big red barn. If it rains the ceremony will be moved inside. It is going to be so fun I can’t wait.

Hello and welcome. Today’s card is for a good friend. For milestone birthday’s I like to find background paper with the number on it so for this paper I Googled ‘gift wrap 90-year-old’. There were several patterns to choose from, but I liked the colors in this one. Luckily, I had cardstock in just the right colors to match the pp. Card base and 1/8″ strips are Smokey Slate cs, cardstock for the numbers and 1/4″ strips is a piece I found in my stash. Center die cut is Stitched Squares by Die-namics, numbers are from the Silhouette. To make the numbers stand out a little more I used Glossy Accents on them.

Hello and welcome. The challenge at Just Us Girls this week is to CASE a design team member. I chose to case Vicki. While searching through online coloring pages I came across the same image Vicki had used. Coloring was done with Copic markers, then for a little interest I scored double lines on all 4 edges. Sentiment die is one I bought on Amazon; sorry I don’t have a name for it. Sentiment was printed in my Hallmark card program. Once finished I actually liked it.

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.
