Yoga Frogs Pop Up card

I love this card. When you open it the frog pops up. That embossing folder is by Cuttlebug fits the frog theme so well. The frogs are by Stampendous and I colored them in with Copic markers. Thanks for looking. HAGD! 

Lovely blue card with Brass Corners

This card is a recycled card of mine. Like I made it and it came back to me from an aunt or someone. If I looked hard enough I could probably find the original card on my blog but I have other things to do. The blue paper is by Colorbok. The brown patterned paper is by Stampin Up. The dry embossed square is by Cuttlebug and the stamp inside it is from Stampin Up. Thanks for looking. HAGD! 

Floral Friday Autumn like colored cards

Background patterned paper by Cosmo Cricket. The patterned paper used in the Sizzix die cuts is by Papertrey Ink. The brown paper is a scrap and the gold letters, no clue. 

The second card has green opulent paper by Sizzix on the bottom half. The center cardstock is a dry embossed border by Cuttlebug. I don’t use those nearly enough but I should because when I do, I really like the way they look. The tag is an upcycled item from my stash. The sentiment is by Just Rite. I wish I could remember how I got the ombré color on the sentiment. It is looks great.

The above card started out as a birthday card but the sentiment was hard to read. (See below)

You can see why I changed it.

Thanks for looking.

Manly Monday Blues and Greens Christmas card

 The background paper is by Stampin Up. I dry embossed it with a snowflake embossing folder by Cuttlebug. Then I lightly inked the raised area with distress ink. The plaid background stamp is by Just Rite stamps. I inked it with a bunch of different ink colors because I was testing the ink pads on a mint colored cardstock and ended up liking it. I inked the edges before taping it down. 

The tree stamp is by Cloud Nine. I stamped and colored it in with Peerless Watercolors. After that, it was off to the die cut using a Spellbinders die. I inked blue to look like the sky and then Stickles to look like snow.

Floral Friday Christmas Cricut Slimline card

Slimline cards are a challenge for me. I feel like there’s so much wasted space yet if you fill it up, it’s just too much. 

The background patterned paper is by Bo Bunny.  The poinsettia is a Cricut die cut (Image set called Christmas Noel).

 

I dry embossed one of the layers of the poinsettia with a Cuttlebug embossing folder before adding Stickles to the petals.

The sentiment is by Hero Arts; I heat embossed it in gold and then colored in the frame with a mixture of paint and chalk. The ric rack is from my mother-in-law‘s stash.

Hope You are Back on Your Paws Soon Card

I really like this card. I found the dog stamp by Stamp n Plus and colored with Copic markers, in the images drawer. Behind the dog is a Creative Memories sticker. Behind the Creative Memories sticker is a chiffon ribbon. Behind the chiffon ribbon is a white piece of cardstock that was dry embossed with a Cuttlebug embossing folder, inked with Distress Ink, and sprayed with a gold shimmer spray.

Same Dog stamp

Easter Cards in Different shades of Greens

The patterned papers are old and by Provo Craft and K and Co. The top card uses that same embossing folder that I've used all week. The center embossed area works well with any cross. That cross is by Spellbinders and I inked the paper before I removed it from the die.
The second card, the cross is a stamp that I heat embossed with silver embossing powder. That square patterned paper has been stamped with a clear background stamp again very old. Thanks for looking

Double Polka Dot blue Celebrate Card

There is nothing fancy about this card. I cut the sentiment out with my Cricut.  The blue background paper is dry embossed with a Cuttlebug embossing folder. The pattern paper is by Making Memories. The circle uses paper by Provo Craft. I didn’t like the way the sentiment went over the patterned paper on that left side. So I decided to use colored pencils to enhance the letters.

I'm entering this card into the,

Borders, Dry Embossing and an Epoxy Sentiment Card

So yesterday was my 24th wedding anniversary. Crazy to think that I am old enough to have been married that long. Fitting for the occasion I have an anniversary card to show you today. The sentiment is an epoxy sticker in a set of baby stickers. The die-cut is by Sizzix(I think). The yellow circle in the center is an image from a single small embossing folder by Cuttlebug. I punched it out with a circle punch from CM. The border dies are by Spellbinders. The patterned paper is from my stash.

Today is a great day to post a card that says, love. 

My biggest fan who loved everything I made, she died on this day in 2019.

My Mom. most of the time she was lovingly known as Beth. Liz. Lizzy. Lizard. Grandma. And our favorite, “Grandma Wizz”. A name was given to her by her youngest granddaughter that couldn’t say, Liz. The irony was my Mom always had to pee. I disliked when my Mom would say she had to go to the “Pee Palace”. SMH in embarrassment.

There are loving memories of her that have been floating around in my head. They make me smile more and not as sad as they once did.

May she Rest In Peace.
