Outside and inside cards for my son in law’s birthday. Amazing at just how old these kids are getting. I came across this old set (possibly an Inkadinkadoo) and thought it would be fun to use.
Old Bird-Day
Sympathy
A clean and simple sympathy card that is focusing on embossing folder and dies.
P.S. Bonnie this is a second post since I forgot to click my name so not sure what happened to the original…oops…sorry! Lol.
Sympathy
Thought I would share the ones I just uploaded onto my own blog. All descriptions etc are there.
Layered Stencils
Started with lines and diamonds stencil sponged with Soft Stone on white copy paper. Left that taped down and layered leaves and berries that got sponged in Jelly Bean Green. Then stamped focal and sentiment in black. Colored wings with mica watercolors in two shades of green. Layered behind die cut frame with Jelly Bean Green cs pop-dots on top of Soft Stone cs.
For Mod Squad: Use Green
Stenciled Sympathy
Woohoo – Finished a Card!
As they are having a shower in upper Michigan for our Granddaughter and Grandson, needed a special card. This will be our 1st Great grandchild. Used Blue Denim Card stock, pp is scraps and not sure what pack it is from. Kept it simple. Just need to finish the inside. Typing a cute saying I found and die cutting it to fit.
Also, last night just figured out how to comment on everyone’s photos! Duh, let’s just blame it on me being the oldest of the group! Will be commenting in the future!
Baby Boy Congrats
A new grandson for one of my girlfriends. I found this adorable giraffe from my stash, die cut the letters using Concord & 9th’s double cut alphabet dies, sizzix embossing folder and GKD card stock.
Stencil Challenge Accepted
Bonnie challenged us to create using a stencil on our project. My card uses the Tim Holtz Alterations 660220 Thinlits die that I die cut on a transparency sheet. I used Gina K Designs stamps from the Bold & Blooming stamp set and the sentiment from Up & Away as well as GDK card stock and inks. Bonnie your stencils are amazing and you are so generous.
I believe I will enter this card into the Gina K Designs monthly mix challenge to use flowers.

Card for Louise
This card was made and sent to a lady turning 106 years old. The person requesting the card said that the recipient had failing eye-sight, so large images and bright colors would help. I chose to use a bright purple card base and patterned paper in matching colors. I used butterflies from The Stamps of Life along with a sentiment from the same set. It is called butterfly2stamp and a couple of matching sets and dies. The flip-it die set is a 5 X 7 set from Sizzix. I cut a piece of white paper for the back to have an easy place to write a sentiment. I chose to stamp You are awesome, from Cas-ual Friday, This card was mailed earlier in the week to ensure that it would be delivered in time for her birthday.
