Hello and welcome. Today’s card is for my b-i-l who lives in AZ. For the background paper I Googled AZ desert background paper. It is amazing what’s up there in cyber space. The cake holding birthday boys are from a birthday border paper that I cropped out just one image then sized and copied it. Die cut is Stitched Squares by Die-namics.
Thanks for stopping by, I really appreciate your visits. Have a great day and stay healthy & safe.
It’s a New Year and a new challenge from Diane and Darlene and it’s all about Words.
I went through a bunch of stamp sets searching for words of different fonts and size and was determined to use the large Cheers stamp set from Taylored Expressions and it seemed to fit this new Word Power challenge. Sentiments are from Gina K Designs Party Time stamp set and the Taylored Expressions Big Cheers. Lined up all of the sentiments in one Misti and stamped multiple panels and then that meant stamping the big Cheers in my mini-misti and fussy cutting it out times eight. I decided at the last minute and that means after the card was assembled to add some fireworks with Newton’s Nook’s fireworks stencil and TE’s Iridescent Glitter Happy Medium paste.
My card will be shared with:
Thanks Darlene and Diane for another fun challenge to play along with.
Thanks for stopping in for a peek. I appreciate you and your time. Take care and be safe.
P.S. We will probably be shoveling snow this weekend. I would much rather be in my “elf room” but maybe the white stuff will miss us. I don’t mind more rain.
Hello and welcome. It feels good to be getting back to normal after the holidays.
Today’s card is Dear Old Sister’s first chuckle of the month card for 2024. This time I decided on a mini slimline. As usual, border, images and sentiment “My new Year’s resolution is to be more positive and less sarcastic. Like I won’t screw that up right away.” were all found online. DOS loved it.
Thanks for stopping by I really appreciate your visits. Have a great day and stay healthy & safe.
This started out as a finished card I found in my stash of cards to be finished. Maybe because it was on such flimsy cardstock I thought I would do something else with it. I trimmed the card front and added an In the Navy Mat and put on a Powder Blue CB. The snowflakes are from various GKD sets. The sentiment is from the Sparkling Christmas kit from 2015. I was delighted to discover that it works for the Color Hues Challenge to use Light Blue and Navy. Another card for my 2024 stash.
I was asked about how to use the Bible Verse on the Word Art Wednesday blog. I helped the person then decided to actually use the verse and see what I could create.
This sketch is from Crafty Al December, 2023. I used Gina K Designs stamps, patterned paper, cardstock, and ink for this card. I used the frame from Christmas Wishes. I chose this frame as I received a stamped one in the mail; each month I have received an image to color but this time, the person sent stamped images. I printed the verse on my laser printer, than stamped the wreath on the printed verse. The printing was not as dark as I like, so I traced it with a thin line marker. The patterned paper is Watercolor Garden and the cardstock is lemon yellow and the red is possibly red velvet; my reds are all stored together so I am not sure exactly which red it is.

A new year! I hope to continue to create and share my cards this year. I often create more than I post. Thanks for stopping by. I appreciate each of you.
Hello, welcome and Happy New Year.
Yes, another fractured sports card. Again, paper and image were found online. I wasn’t sure how it would look having the narrow vertical strip next to the image and the opposite for the horizontal strips, but I like it. This is a fun card to make for your sports fans. This is my last fractured sports card for a while……maybe.
Thanks for stopping by and spending time with me. I really appreciate it. Have a great day and stay healthy & safe.
Hello and welcome. I’m back with sports fractured #2. This will go to our son as a ‘just because’ card. Again, pp and logo were found online, die cut is Stitched Squares by Die-namics. I added the M & W to the image. These cards are so fun make. Next up will be the MN Vikings.
Thanks for spending your time with me. I really appreciate it. Have a great day and stay healthy & safe.
Hello and welcome. Today’s card came about because I wanted to make a fractured card a little different than my other ones. Then I started thinking I’d like to use a foil background and since the Las Vegas Raiders colors are black & silver it became a sports card. Hubby was a little surprised because I am not a football fan, but he liked it. I found the Raiders logo online, sized and printed it to fit this Stitched Sqaure by Die-namics. Placed the die cut in the center then added the strips. Now hubby thinks I should make some with different sports teams. Our grandson-in-law is a MN Viking’s fan and our son is a MN Wild hockey fan. Now my little brain has to wake up.
Thanks for stopping by and spending time with me. Have a great day and stay healthy & safe.
Hello and welcome. Both yesterday and today’s cards are for Jan. 4th birthdays. Today’s card is for our youngest granddaughter’s boyfriend.
I didn’t realize it when I chose the colors, but these are his old high school colors. Embossing folder used is Happy Birthday by Cuttlebug, die cuts are Spellbinders Labels and are popped up. Cross strips were cut with my antique photo paper cutter. Sentiment was printed on the computer. Another very quick and easy card. I now see that I should have embossed the yellow strip… my bad.
Thanks for stopping by to spend some of your time with me. Have a great day and stay healthy & safe.
