Hello and welcome. Today’s card is for my b-i-l. I found the headline page online and in my Hallmark card program I was able to add his photo and name. Inside sentiment “Happy 90th! You’ve officially reached vintage status.” was found online. I think he’ll especially like seeing what things cost back then.
Thanks for stopping by I really appreciate you, your time and any comments you might add. Have a great day and stay healthy & safe. Happy 2026!
I was intrigued by the ink blended backgrounds by Ciara T Designs YouTube using Tim Holtz Distress Oxide inks and started blending in a variety of colors. The blues with the white heat embossed Gina K Designs Ruffled Blooms stamp set seemed to fit the following challenge:
Colorful Options: January 2026 Blue and White Challenge
Instead of a winter scene, I opted for a line artblooms and a simple sentiment.
Thanks for stopping in for a peek. I appreciate you and your time. Happy 2026!!
Happy New Year. While our daughter was here between Christmas and New Years, she wanted me to help her make a couple cards. I love playing in my craft room with her.
The first one is to welcome her first grandchild, due in June. She looked through baby cards on Pinterest to get an idea of what she wanted to make. Pp was in my stash, onesie is from the Silhouette, ef is from Sizzix, letters are from a very old Sizzix alphabet die set. She found the piece of lace and ribbon in my drawer.
The second card is for her son-in-law. Again, she looked through Pinterest to find a design she liked. Pp was just the right size piece in my stash, dies are stitched squares by Die-namics, ef used for the center strip is from Sizzix. Sentiment was printed on the computer. I cut everything, but she put them all together.
Thanks for stopping by I really appreciate you taking the time. Have a great day and stay healthy & safe.
One more for 2025! My card today was made using Taylored Expressions Create in Quads Mistletoe stencils, A2 Thin Frame Cutting Plate and bows die.

I normally don’t do the coffee/cocoa mug themes but I wanted to play along with Peace On Earth Christmas challenge and their mood board was too adorable to resist. I was able to make two cards using Taylored Expressions Perk Up! Stamp and Stencil set, All Planned Out 1 dies, Tiny Twinkles embossing folder and Honey, Gumdrop and Jujube inks. The image is from a Gina K Designs kit and the stamp set is Playful Penguins as well as the top sentiment. The coffee sentiment was also TE. I live close enough to the shopping centers so the day after Christmas until New Year’s Day definitely is chaotic.

A SimonSaysStamp Kaleidoscope embossing folder on light blue cardstock and ink blended with two darker shades of blue were used for my focal panel. I decided to swipe some VersaMark embossing and watermark pad over the raised edges for a bit of dimension. The side snowflake strip is an unbranded die from my stash and the doubled snowflake is one of my favorites from SSS. Sentiment is a Tim Holtz. I included a panel of printed acetate behind my focal panel for a bit more snowflakes.

Thanks for stopping in for a peek. I appreciate you and your time. It took quite awhile to clear all of the ice today. I definitely got my steps in today as we had to remove one layer of ice at a time until we hit sidewalk. NOW….there may be another ice storm Sunday night….I’m not quite ready for those winter blues!
Tonight’s card is an adorable free incentive with purchase gift from Gina K Designs named Snowflake Kisses. A bit of color to the friends, a piece of patterned paper from my stash and Whimsy Stamps Drippy Frame die with a bit of spatter completes my card. My card will be shared with:

Our snow storm today turned into an icy mess! We are definitely not looking forward to clearing out tomorrow. Snow would have been nice; ice not! Thanks for stopping in for a peek. I appreciate you and your time. If you have snow, be safe. If you have ice, stay inside. If you have no winter weather, enjoy-enjoy.
A gatefold card using the new Gina K Designs Glorious Gatefolds die from the 12 Days of Christmas box layered with black shimmer cardstock. The stamped image is Inkadinkadoo stamp that I was afraid it would rip when I tried to remove it from the stamp sheet. The sentiment is Taylored Expressions that was in my stash. This GKD die cuts like a dream.

Working off the mood board with the black and white images inspired me to create my card. I was going to use an Inkadinkadoo bird stamp but here’s another butterfly!! Thanks for stopping in for a peek. I appreciate you and your time. Take care!
Hello and welcome. Today’s card is for one of our grandson-in-law’s. Last summer he went big game hunting in Africa and shot a kudu, so I thought what better image to find for his birthday card. Image and background frame were both found online, brown frame is Spellbinders Classic Rectangles. I added the sentiment before printing the patterned frame. I think he’s going to like this.
Thanks for stopping by I really appreciate you taking the time. Have a great day and stay healthy & safe.
