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 Swap Cards

 

 

 

I got my fall swap cards yesterday and could not be happier, thought I

would share with you.

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.

Washi Tape Book Marks

 Joined the craft group at our local community center, we meet once a month and

this month we made Washi Tape book marks.  This would be a great way to

use up some of my stash.  The leader had a fabulous collection of Washi

tapes for us to choose from.

 

 

 

They look like they are laminated but she had us use clear

packing tape and then trip the edges, great idea and easy.

 

I just got back from vacation and am ready to get going on some crafting

and hope to post more often.  Have a wonderful day!

Cars on highway

  I know I have not posted or commented for awhile,  I have had very 

little crafting time with mom dying 8 weeks after dad.  Things are 

slowing down now, and I hope to be back to crafting.

I did get this card made for my grandson's second birthday.  He likes

cars, trucks and all things that move.  I used all his favorite colors

on this card.  It is a new die set by Inlovearts Car on the Highway

cutting dies.  I thought it turned out cute and he liked it.

Hope you are all doing well and I hope to catch up on your

creations soon!
