Hello and welcome. Time again for dear old sister’s chuckle card. Image and sentiment “Hey, my good old friend. I was thinking of you just the other day… What’s your name again.” were found online. I added score lines to each side for a little interest and to make it look like I actually did something making it.
Thanks for stopping by I really appreciate you taking the time. Have a great day and stay healthy & safe.
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.

I don’t have a lot of musical stamps although I did remember this unmounted red rubber jukebox that has been in my stash forever and a day! Google Lens identified the stamp as a jukebox cookie cutter! Close but I knew it was a stamp and maybe from Gina K Designs back from StampTV days as a freebie. The checked patterened paper was gifted to me by a stamp buddy and I added two strips of red cardstock. Sentiment is Taylored Expressions and notes and stars are another “yikes” I cannot remember clear stamp set…..maybe Fiskars…cute clear stamp images for different occasions that was so old I could hardly peel off the stamp from the plastic. After begin stuck for a sentiment I thought the one used could be a twist on the music theme! My card will be shared with:

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.

I am in a green mode…..lots of green grass…..green leaves…..or is it just that the green inks from my last project are still on my desk! Probably the last!!! My card project uses Taylored Expressions Halftone Dots embossing folder, Birthday Balloons stencil & die combo and a previously sentiment from my stash. The balloons were colored using the stencil, then white pigment ink through the decorated stencil and white heat embossed with the exception of the green on green sprinkles balloon. The tiny bows are also a TE product as is the gold strip. A bit of ink blending on the note card and white spatter completes my card today. This card will be shared with:
Can You Handle the Pressures: Anything Goes with a Twist of Balloons challenge and of course the required embossing folder. Fun challenge. I thought I had balloon strings but just used a black pen to draw them.
Thanks for stopping in for a peek. I appreciate you and your time. Take care; stay safe. I think this card will go to my brother who’s birthday is in a few days.
After deciding on a variety of green inks from Taylored Expressions, chosing a sketchy leaf stamp and a sentiment and my card stocks, I was ready to start the time on this CAS card. My first Gina K Autumn Silhouettes leaf was stamped using peapod ink and a quick swipe of a baby wipe and dry towel, the next color was sweet basil, then granny smith, then spearmint and finally mint julep. The focal panel was rushed to my Big Shot with a Waffle Flower A2 layering die, then back to the misti to position and stamp the Gina K Scripty Sayings 2 sentiment in the mint julep. This was layered on a piece of green cardstock and cut to size on my paper cutter and finally layered on my A2 notecard. Completed in 5 minutes, 7 seconds. I did find that stamping with ink cubes was a bit more time consuming than a full size pad. It also helped to have a stamp set that was a bit sketchy and the leaves overlapping slightly to hide any oops! Another fun Speed Challenge with:
As You See It Challenge: Challenge #355: Lively Leaves This was a speed challege of under 10 minutes and a theme of leaves.
Thanks for stopping in for a peek. I appreciate you and your time. Take care, stay safe.
Daisy Dreams by Taylored Expressions is my focal point for this card. The set is a stamp/stencil combination. Somehow my white daisies didn’t work out so I added some color that was left on a brush…..still not satisfied so I flicked a bit of OLO marker ink onto the petals. Butterflies are Martha Stewart 3 butterfly punch.
