Hello and welcome. Today’s card is for our grandson-in-law. You guessed it, he’s a big MN Twins fan. Background paper was found online, sentiment & clip art were done in my Hallmark card program. Before cutting the strips, I ran the paper through a dots embossing folder for a little texture. This is weird, when I look at the photo the center looks a little off kilter, but it doesn’t in real life. hmmm.

Monchromatic stamping on my card today. I was inspired by a recent Gina K Designs YouTube video where she used silhouette stamps however I was looking for a set with a basket and flowers for a challenge when I remembered this GKD set Vintage Summer. This was a card kit from last year. The images and the sentiment font is a fav of mine. I masked off two edges of the focal panel and ink blended ocean mist ink and stamped the bicycle in blue lagoon. A touch of color for the subtle blooms and some wink of stella for shine as well as a few clay embellishments to finish my card. The frame is a Taylored Expressions die set.

After a day at the beach at the shore, our family would clean up and head the the boardwalk for some shopping for t-shirts and hermit crabs, noise, arcade games and maybe a ride or two describes what USED to be a favorite beach activity. Now, when hubby and I go to the shore the quieter it is the happier we are just watching the ocean and the people…….LOL….
My card today uses an Inkadinkadoo stamp set for my amusement pier and sentiment from a Hero Arts set. I definitely wanted to use this stamp and the idea that formed in my brain and then brain freeze!! So I die cut pieces and layered them to try to make it work.
I will be sharing my card with and just under the deadline:

Hello and welcome. The pinwheel design has become one of my favorites for masculine cards. Embossing folder used for the background is from Sizzix but unfortunately, I don’t know what it’s called. Patterned paper is Stampin Up. Center circle is hand punched and covered with Glossy Accents. Banners for computer printed sentiment were cut on my paper trimmer.

Hello and welcome. Yay!! I’ve got good jump on Christmas cards this year (that is really unusual).
Embossed background folder is a no name one I bought on Amazon, ornament is Holiday Ornaments Thinlits from SU. After foiling the ornament with the Mini Mink I embossed it with a snowflake ef by The Paper Studio. For the ornament top I fussy cut a piece of gold glitter paper, cord is from my stash. At first I wasn’t too sure about it, but I like it.

A new grandbaby is one the way for a dear friend so I made this card for the little one. Sage green is a favorite color of mom-to-be and found these two patterns in a The Paper Studio Sweet Pea paper pad that was in my stash, Denami Stamps onesie and rattle as well as a sentiment from a Inkadinkadoo stamp that needed some stamp surgery. The split background was made with Taylored Expressions All Planned Out 1 dies and circle punches from my stash.
I did make a card for the “sprinkle” I and my girlfriends had for mom and baby but forgot to take a photo of it. UGH!

Hello and welcome. Today’s card is the first sympathy card for a pet that I’ve made. The other day a good friend was telling me that she had to put her pug, Buttercup, down. When she was telling me she was so sad and crying I just had to make her a card.
The background paper has been in my stash for a long time. Pug image is computer clip art fussy cut and adhered to cardstock. Sentiment was printed on the computer. The focal cardstock piece looked kind of plain so added 1/4″ background paper strips to each side.
Thanks for stopping by I really appreciate you and your time. Have a great day and stay healthy, safe & cool. Our daily high temps are still hanging around 108-111. We’re getting pretty tired of it.
Taking inspiration from our Buddy Bonnie’s design team card for a balloon card challenge, I pulled out an older die from Serendipity Stamps. This Hot Air Balloon Reverse die has 5 balloons and 3 clouds on the background die plate. So after a little googling I found a card by Lori Craig who used the die as a stencil. Let’s say I pretty much CASE’d her card however using inks instead of copics in the balloon die cuts. Many pieces of sticky notes later to mask off each section of the balloon, my rainbow hot air balloon was finished. Using a cloud stencil, lightly inked clouds on the focal image layer, embossed clouds on the pink layer and swiped white pigment ink over them…..which I know you cannot really make out…..a piece of rainbow blots designer paper from my desk, a TE easy strip die, and sentiment from GKD’s Up & Away stamp set to complete today’s card.
