Thinking of you

 

I had several backgrounds similar to this one and decided to use them.  The 
turtles were already colored  (except the flower) and the sentiments in my sentiment 
binder.  I embossed the background, die cut the circles and the
green piece behind the sentiment and was ready to assemble.  My snippets
were, the white for the sentiment and behind the turtle, and the
embossed background as it had been around for
quite while.  It'salways nice to have a few any occasion card to send out.

Cup of chocolate

 

 




 Playing around with Christmas cards for the grand kids teachers, this is one of my
cards today.  I used up a lot of snippets for this one and a die cut set that
has been in my stash for awhile from Momenta that I got on
clearance at Hobby Lobby years ago.   My one granddaughter likes
to make cards when she comes over and my grandson played at my
table with me on their last visit. So much fun!

Stamping Get Together

 I had a great time a couple of weeks ago visiting a good friend, 
crafting, chatting and eating!  Grab a cup of coffee and see
all the cards we made:

Shirley's beautiful designs that I made:
 




My designs:




So much fun and both of our cards for each project came out
different (papers, colors etc)  I wish I had taken pictures of 
both, next time I will.

Fall Card Swap

 


I recently participated in a fall card swap. I made an easel card. 
Colored with Copics.  Stamp set: Hello Harvest, never been
inked before and about a year old.  I am trying to use items
that have not been used yet and making several cards with
them.  I am looking forward to seeing everyone cards.

Fun Fold Inside

 



 

Open: 



Two of the grand kids are celebrating their birthdays together so I made 
cards using clip art of their favorite characters.  Minions and Actonots,
I used free clip art from online. Die cuts used on the Minions,
Scan N Cut for the Actonots. Die cuts used for numbers and
round base.
 
I like this cute fun fold inside so used it for both of them.  You cut
a 6" square of white card stock, score in half each direction and also
once diagonally. Fold and scor well.  Patterned paper is a2 3 3/4" squares
cut in half diagonally.  Notches made with an envelope board.  Aren't 
these cute?

Fun Fold Birthday Card


 


 

I made this Double Decker Pop out card for a friends birthday.  It was not
difficult, you just had to think a bit.  I used a Beautifully Happy set 
from Stampin Up, I've had it and this was my first time using it, I don't
do real well with stamping the color on the image but I am happy
with how it turned out. Papers are Magnolia Lane, it is hard to 
tell but the striped panels are embossed with a linen
embossing folder.
