Another Cutie...

Another cutie from the Postcard collection. I left the sentiment blank and can add it later for many occasions.


Balmy Blue is the card base and the paper is from retired Stampin Up designer paper. Just love the image!

Until next time have a blessed day!

Belated Birthday

Don't you just love those cute little animal postcards? They are so cute. The base is crumb cake embossed with the Hardwood folder. The yellow gingham mat just sets it off.


The sentiment is from the Well Said set and punched separately and is for a belated birthday! The sequins make it pop!

Until next time have a blessed day!

Tri-fold Christmas

My stamper friend, Cindy showed me a fun fold card on Pinterest. This is my version. It was fun to make but took a while to figure it out. I do like it and it folds flat to mail!



I made this one as a sample and am planning on making more with different themes. Thanks, Cindy. Love the fold.

Until next time have a blessed day!

Tea Time

This is a gate-fold card using Coastal Cabana for the base. I used some older Stampin Up designer paper to cut the tea pot and cup.



I added a flower to the envelope and lined it with the matching paper. The inside of the card has a cut rose. I also cut the cup and tea pot using heavy cardstock so it would be white on the back and give it some body. You can stamp most any sentiment inside!

OOPS... I glued the cup too close to the tea pot and couldn't get it off to fix it. Next time will judge better.

Until next time have a blessed day!

Let it Ride

I thought I had better post something before you guys thought I had left town! LOL

After falling and breaking my 'tail bone' I haven't done much sitting long enough to stamp. This card did not turn out how I pictured it but I like it anyway and would make a great masculine card.


The base is Night of Navy with a Balmy Blue mat. The background was all sponged and the sentiment is from the Itty Bitty Wishes. The horse is cut out and on Dimensionals.

Tea Time


I know, I know - there is NO sentiment. I left it out on purpose so this card can be a birthday, sympathy, note card, etc. You just never know what kind of card you will need next.


The base is Whisper White (Sorry it looks Very Vanilla on the scan. I cut the frame using the largest stitched frame die with the smaller one inside to make a cute frame. It is adhered the Dimensionals.

The stamp set is Tea Together and cut with matching framelits. All images were colored using the Blends. The mat paper is retired. I love this stamp set!

Early Christmas

This cute stamp was given to me - and I loved it. Thank you, Shirley. I plan on making some more for Christmas but I wanted to share this one. The base is Very Vanilla and the mat (which has the stamped image) was distressed on the edges and dragged over the Gold stamp pad to give it dimension and it was adhered with Dimensionals.


Hope you like it. It is really a cute stamp.

Until next time have a blessed day!

'Princess Scarlett'

I love this picture of Miss Scarlett. I used two programs to remove the background and insert the cherry blossom trees. Turned out lots better than I thought.


The base is Rich Razzleberry with a sheet of matching Designer Paper (retired). I added the butterflies with pearls as an accent. The title is a Free download from Treasure Box Designs!

Peace

A friend of mine gave me a few of her old stamps Sunday and I made this card for Christmas. I love the stamp and design. I used Very Vanilla paper and distressed the mat after coloring. I then ran gold ink around the edge.


I wish I had been more careful distressing the paper but I still like it! The mat is on Dimensionals.

Miss Josie lost both front teeth at the same time.


I don't think I posted this already but if I did it's called a 're-run'!

2020 Refrigerator Calendar

We'll be making this Refrigerator Calendar (or stand up Calendar) during the months of July and August. The actual calendar sheet is 3.5 x 5 and will fit the smaller frame. After matting it will fit the 4 x 6 frame. You can get these frames at Walmart or the Dollar Tree for $1.00.


Makes a great gift!

Climbing Roses

This set, Climbing Roses, is retired but I still love it. It is fun to color and has matching framelits. The base is Grapefruit Groove with matching Gingham paper from a 6x6 paper stack.


I really fell in love with this card. I had enough of the gingham to line the envelope top only. I used the Light Calypso Coral to color the flowers and Granny Apple Green for the leaves. The frame is on Dimensionals and cut using the largest and 3rd largest stitched rectangle dies.

Geared up Garage

Geared up to celebrate! This is one of the best masculine stamp sets from Stampin Up. It also has a matching 6x6 paper pad.


The little wrench accents the black ribbon streamer. All the images are from that same stamp set. the Gas Can and Tool Box were colored with Stampin Up's Blends. I used the punch to punch the sentiment and I punched it twice to cut it down. Then I punched the gray mat leaving it full size! Worked perfectly!

Until next time have a blessed day!
