Hello and welcome. Yep, time again for DOS chuckle card.
Colored cs was dry embossed with a stripe ef by The Paper Studio, image is clip art, sentiment, “Before you judge someone walk a mile in their shoes. After that, who cares? They’re a mile away and you have their shoes.” was found online. Quick, easy and snarky.
Thanks for stopping by I appreciate you taking the time. Have a great day and stay healthy & safe.
I have fallen in love with stitching again. As a young woman, I stitched a lot. I made all sorts of home decor, gifts, and even added stitching to sweatshirts. Now, many years later, there are several dies to create stitching on. I will focus on Lawn Fawn with the focal of this card.
The pattern came from Lawn Fawn. They have several patterns available to use that fit their dies perfectly. I placed the shamrock on a Circle Flip-it Die Cut. I used my very retired Sizzix/The Stamps of Life die to cut the card base. The colors I chose for the card are SU Lemon Lime Twist with matching patterned paper. The shamrocks along the border were from Lawn Fawn also. I made the one at the top with heart dies.
I will add this to the Colorful Options March challenge: https://colorfuloptions.blogspot.com/2024/03/march-2024.html
I hope to continue adding stitching to cards. My family shopped for me to select the floss colors on my list, so I have no excuses. Thanks for coming by and seeing my card.
Smoky, green cocktail with an eyeball olive, anyone? My card today will be shared with, yes, you may have guessed the Two Old Bats Halloween Challenge. The mood board included lots of green and I decided on a witch’s green brew stirred not shaken!
The martini glass is an online coloring image to which I added color. A spider doily was used in certain areas as a stencil and added a little splotches of black for a smoky look. Die cut three spiders from a Tim Holtz die set, mounted my focal image on green glitter paper, cut a piece of my St. Patrick’s Day patterned paper and mounted on a piece of shimmer black.
Oh and yes, an eyeball in place of the olive was quite necessary.

Thanks for stopping in for a peek. I appreciate you and your time. More crazy weather is heading our direction when the rain stops tonight, the March winds will begin and then maybe more springlike for the middle of next week. Take care and sending green hugs.
A few more St Patrick’s Day cards. I ordered a St. Patrick’s Day kit from Riley and Company which included the overlay die and some pieces of cardstock to create 3 cards with instructions. The patterned paper is really nice quality and the die cuts out so easily. And the snarky message cracks me up and made me think of our Buddy Gerry.
I’m not sure if this would be appropriate for our 13 year old grandson but the leprechauns may trick me into sending it to him anyway.
Thanks for stopping in for a peek. I appreciate you and your time. Take care and green hugs!
I finally broke down and bought some St. Patrick’s Day patterned paper from Amazon and opted to make a fractured style card showcasing those patterned papers. Sentiment is Taylored Expressions, leprechaun is from my stash and he was a challenge to fussy cut because of his size, added a few stickers from my stash and used Taylored Expressions Simple Strips die. Of course, I was inspired by our Buddy, Gerry, to join in the fractured card phase.
I would like to share my card with:

Circles, stripes, dots are in order for this masculine birthday card. A few challenges have popped up that I wanted to play in so I searched my embossing folders for some circles. Using the Tim Holtz Alterations Retro Circles embossing folder for my background on GKD Sandy Beach cardstock, I then die cut some patterned paper from my stash in a dots background and striped background layering them on navy cardstock. Sentiment is GKD Sweet Sentiments will complete my card today.

We are on that roller coaster of weather again. Above average temperatures with lots of rain, then boom a 20 degree drop with high winds. Not sure in March will come in like a lion but I’m sure it will be an interesting weather month.
Hello and welcome. It’s time to start my Easter cards.
As usual the pp was found online. It’s unusual for me but I decided to dry emboss the pp. Ef used is Dots from Stampin Up. Bunnies are online clip art, Circles are Spellbinders classic & scalloped circle dies. Sentiment is a no name die I recently bought on Amazon. I double cut the sentiment for more stability then I used Wink of Stella for a little shine.

Another St Patrick’s Day card and this one will definitely be going to our granddaughter Brooke who still “knows” that the more you add to a card the absolute best it is!!! A fun fold card that I came across from Lisa’s Stamp Studio and her Easy DIY Accordion Flip Card Using Designer Paper. I’m still scrounging around for some St. Patrick’s Day themed papers but shopped my stash for my card today and came up with lots of greens! The front panel is Taylored Expressions Luck of the Irish foil It panel which was foiled in gold foil then ink blended in rainbow colors. The pot of gold is also TE’s Rainbow’s End dies. The second picture is the opened card and left includes, Tutti Designs Paylful Leprechauns die. I cut off the third leprechaun because he didn’t fit and fussy cut the pot after die cutting in gold. The little ‘stars’ are also TE’x Rainbow’s End die set. The middle sections I opted to continue with a rainbow pattern which was from a SSS kit I believe. Sentiments are also TE and small shamrocks from my stash. Finally the last panel was stamped with Gina K Designs Best of Luck stamp set and the sentiment is Penny Black’s Irish Luck. Phew!!! A lot of card and a lot of different products but I’m sure my Brooke will like it.
Today’s card will be shared with:
Make My Monday Challenge #220 Fun Folds – Any Theme chosen by our Buddy Johanna.
Happy to play along with Johanna’s theme today.
Thanks for stopping in for a peek. I appreciate you and your time. Take care and be safe. 20 days until SPRING!
The Sisterhood of Crafters is all about dots or stripes. I made a card today that has stripes.
This is my destination card for this week, a kitchen for K. I chose to use Yummy Mimi from Penny Black for my focal image. The greeting is from a Hero Arts set. I presented my daughter with a few pieces of paper and she suggested the stripes as they matched the colors in my image. The stripes are perfect for the Sisterhood of Crafters challenge.
