I have been behind on sharing my destination cards. My family has been very helpful with finding destinations for me.
We were hearing noises that sounded like a hot air balloon being filled, so that is what prompted me to use a Hot Air Balloon Festival for H.
For the I destination, my daughter suggested India. Their national bird is Peacock, so that is what I went with.
This week’s letter was J. I chose Jungle, per my daughter’s idea. This is a new Stampin Up set and it was begging to be used. I enjoyed coloring these images, which were all fussy cut. I had the patterned paper and added Catherine Pooler leaves. The branch came from Hero Arts and the greeting from WPlus9. It was fun to create.
Thanks for joining in my alphabet challenge cards. I enjoy creating these. I like stretching my mind and using supplies that I have had for some time.
A few month’s ago I invited a cousin for an inpromptu card making session. As a thank you she gave me some photos that she had taken at her summer house in Ocean City Maryland and I thought I would turn this one into a card. It’s a little dark but hope you can see the beauty of the photo. My sentiment is my stamped portion and is a Gina K Designs stamp set “So many sentiments”. The domed shape is a Taylored Expressions die. This card went to my son-in-law.

Hello and welcome. After seeing Stamp Buddy Lisa Babitz scrambled box card and what the Double D challenge was I just had to try it. Lisa was so kind to provide the measurements. For the pp I Googled St. Patric’s Day backgrounds and found this one. Card base is white with a green panel then I added the pp to a white piece of cs. Sentiment was printed on the computer. I hope I did justice to Lisa’s design.
I’m so sorry but I was not able to post this on Double D.
Thanks for stopping by I really appreciate you taking the time. Have a great day and stay healthy & safe.
Another reason to make cards for a fun holiday is coming up quickly especially with Easter at the end of March. So to get started I stamped my background with SimonSaysStamp Shamrock background stamp in black ink on a light minty green cardstock then ink blended more color over the panel. I stamped an older red rubber sentiment stamp from DRS Designs in versamark and heat set with gold embossing powder. The layering panel was gold embossed after inking the edges with versamark so the panel gold color would match the sentiment gold color.
This was my first attempt but my cardstock shifted on the second stamping so I stamped, heat embossed on vellum and die cut with a circle die to cover up my oops!

Hello and welcome. There’s a group of 8 people that are always at our favorite restaurant the same night we are. Two of the women are really good bakers and when they bring in dessert for their group (and the staff) they always share with us. Last week, on Valentine’s Day, they brought two desserts and not only shared with us, but also our friends that were with us.
Both patterned papers and the clip art thank you’s were found online. Die used is Stitched Squares by Die-namics. I didn’t want them exactly the same, so I made one a 5×5 square.
Thanks for stopping by I really appreciate you taking the time. Have a great day and stay healthy & safe.
This is the Valentine I made for my husband following a technique Gina K did in a recent video. I cut the card base 8 ½ x 11, then trimmed it to 8” and scored at 4”. The hearts are from Master Layouts 4. The black layer was left from another project. The pattern paper is from a pad of Valentine PP by Stampin’ Up – the sheet I used has LOVE in various languages. The white scalloped layer is also from Master Layouts 4, trimmed so that the card base created a nice red border. The sentiment is from Frame Flora by GKD. The hearts are from Friendship Hearts also by GKD. The white behind the heart is the envelope – it made the black layered heart show up better.
I’m entering this in The Sisterhood of Crafters – LOVE and Word Power
Hello and welcome. Lately I’ve been seeing a lot of faux twisted ribbon cards and just had to try it. Card stock is Blushing Bride from Stampin Up, pp was found online, ef used is Cuttlebug’s Happy Birthday. I’m thinking of sending this to our daughter-in-law, but I need some honest opinions of it first.
Thanks for stopping by, I really appreciate you taking the time. Have a great day and stay healthy & safe.
Heart dies, love word die and plaid stencil, navy and black ink on mint colored cardstock = Valentine’s card? Maybe or maybe not! Spellbinders Celebrations Hearts die offset with black and mint as is the Love word die in reverse and Taylored Expressions Plaid Layering Stencil were all used for my card project.
