By the sea

It has been a loooooong time since I posted a card. I needed a beach themed card for a friend who loves all things beachy and I was inspired by a card Stamp Buddy Gayle posted. I ink blended Peach Bellini, Bubblegum Pink, Lovely Lavender and Blue Sky. The palm trees and sentiment are from Ocean Silhouettes by GKD. I included a starfish from At the Beach by JustRite, since her favorite inspirational story is about a little boy an a starfish.

Bow Tie Bunnie

Hello and welcome. Today’s card is what I came up with for a masculine Easter card. For the pp I Googled Easter stripe background paper. To my amazement I just happened to have the right color cs. Bunny is from the Silhouette and popped up. Bow tie is from an online coloring page printed on orange cs and fussy cut. Ovals are Spellbinders classic ovals, with the white one dry embossed. Sentiment and small egg, which are double cut, are a no name die bought on Amazon. I’m pretending the googly eye is candy on the chocolate bunny.

unusual christmas card

Hello and welcome. Today’s card is for our bonus great-grandson. He just turned 4 and is big time into garbage and recycling trucks. You can find anything online, so I Googled Christmas garbage truck clip art. I brought this image into my Hallmark card program, added the sentiment and his name, printed and fussy cut it. It’s popped up. Pp is another one I found online. Usually, I leave a small border around the background paper but not this time.

fractured christmas

Hello and welcome. Oh yeah, I’m still working on Christmas cards.

This was very quick and easy. I recently found this pp online and thought it would work well for the fractured technique. However, I used the easy way out. I mounted the sentiment diamond on a 4 x 5 1/4 piece of the pp then added the strips and mounted on the card base. Sentiment was printed in my Hallmark card program, and I added computer clip art ornaments that kind of matched the paper.

happy thanksgiving

Hello and welcome. Today’s card is for our son & d-i-l. I know I said I should get away from the fractured design, but here it is again. As usual pp was found online and leaves are clip art. There is so much free stuff out there in cyber space. Die used is Stitched Squares by Die-namics. That seems to be my go-to die.

Thanks for stopping by your visits mean a lot to me. Have a great day and stay healthy & safe. Have a great weekend.

garbage truck glass

Hello and welcome. Today I have a fun little project to share with you. This is for our neighbor’s grandson (our “bonus” great-grandson). When grandpa comes over for a glass of wine, Riley has water that he gets himself from the refrigerator door. Since this little guy is SO fascinated with garbage trucks I decided to make him a special glass. I found a clip art garbage truck, brought it in to my Hallmark card program and printed his name on the cab. After I ran it through my Xyron Creative Station with a laminate & permanent adhesive cartridge I fussy cut it and put it on a plastic glass. I can’t wait till we see him again.

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

what i deserve

Time again for dear-old-sister’s chuckle of the month. Sentiment “maybe someday I’ll finally get what I deserve, but I hope not” is from a Garfield cartoon. Image and thought bubbles were found online. After printing the sentiment I fussy cut bubbles and image. Oval is Spellbinders Scalloped Ovals, embossed border is Cuttlebug embossing borders. There are 5 different borders in the package. Normally I don’t emboss the card base nor the inside but I think it works well on this card.

Butterfly Pressed

I added stencil butter to the deboss side of this ef then embossed the white text vellum paper. Added green swipes direct to paper with ink pad, smeared blue ink pad on glass mat, spritzed with water then picked up smooching style. Trimmed to fit mini slimline and mounted on fun foam that is on white cs base. Added Silhouette cut sentiment in white.
