’tis the season

Hello and welcome. This card is a CASE of one I saw on Pinterest. The background paper was in my stash. For the square cut out in the frame layer I used a Spellbinders classic square die then ran the piece through a Cuttlebug snowflake ef. Punches used for the snowman are 1 3/4, 3/4″ circles for body and hands, hat is a 1″square with the top corners rounded, Word Window for the hat band, eyes and heart cheeks are hand punches, nose was hand cut, mouth was drawn. Holly in the hat is from an unbranded die set. I used a sponge dauber with Bashful Blue stamp pad to edge the circles. Sentiment was printed on the computer and the tags were cut with my paper trimmer. Snowflakes are from a small punch.

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

Faults And Flaws

Hello and welcome. Time for DOS chuckle of the month card. As usual, image and sentiment “Some people refuse to admit their faults and flaws. I would if I had any.” were found online. Because it’s been a while since I made a slimline card, I decided to make this a mini slimline. Since it’s so plain, beyond CAS, I decided to score 1/2″ squares down each side to add some texture. I’m not too sure about this one but DOS liked it.

Getting Red–y

Hoping to be motivated to begin making Christmas cards so when the Colorful Options color of the month was RED I immediately thought Christmas. My mostly RED card was made using Taylored Expressions products: Easy Strip Maps, Ho Ho Ho die, 1/4″ easy strip patterns die, A2 postage stamp stacklets. Reds were from my stash.

My card today will be shared with:

Angled Thanksgiving

Hello and welcome. For today’s card I cut a 5 1/4 x 4 piece of Pumpkin Pie to layer on the Soft Suede card base then cut the PP layer 1″ shorter and cut from the top right corner to 1″ from bottom left. I adhered the PP after the sentiment was printed. Pilgrim hats are computer clip art. It took a few tries on scrap paper to get the sentiment angle right, but I think it came out ok. I’m not sure if I’m happy with the end result or not.

Square Thanksgiving

Hello and welcome. Here I am with yet another very easy Thanksgiving card. This one will go to our 25-year-old grandson. Background paper was found online, turkey with greeting is computer clip art, dies used are stitched squares by Die-namics. I really need to stop taking the easy way out.

Joy Wreath

Something a bit different today for me. My fall wreath was made in mind for a friend’s November birthday. Using some bits and pieces of previously inked and die cut leaves from Taylored Expressions and two different sizes of mushrooms to decorate my unbranded wreath die. Not sure if I needed the die cut bow but it’s there! Sentiment is also a TE stamp/die. A SSS woodgrain background stamp inked in ivory pigment ink on ivory cardstock.

Happy Thanksgiving

Hello and welcome. Now on to Thanksgiving cards. I wasn’t very sure about this one till hubby said he thought it looks good. Patterned papers were in my stash. The scalloped edges were hand cut with decorative scissors. Stitched dies used are ones I bought on Amazon and don’t have a brand for them. Sentiment was printed on the computer. Pretty quick and easy.

Last ’25 Halloween Card

Hello and welcome. Thought I was done with Halloween cards for this year but then I realized our cleaning lady will be here on Halloween.

When I was looking through Pinterest, I saw this background image and thought it would work well with the witch and cat die cuts I had just discovered in my Halloween stash. Sentiment was printed in my Hallmark card program. It took several tries to get it placed just right but I think it’s in a good spot.
