Happy 99th, Judy's Dad

Good Morning!

This card was so much FUN to make (I think I say that about every card lol)  But this was FUN for the making AND for the sending.  I sent it off to my dear BFF Judy Woodland's Dad, Merritt, he hit a milestone birthday of 99 years!  Isn't that just the coolest? 

I teased her that her dad will be 99 years older than my grand daughter, Penny.....when she arrives next month....did I just say next month?  JOY!!!

 I will be entering this card in the Challenges at; Simon Says Wednesday, Anything Goes!, Simon Says Work It Wednesday, Favorite Stamps and Scrapy Land, Anything Goes!


I made another of those 4 Fold Panel cards, you can check out from Dawn's Video HERE.

Card Box Holder

Good Afternoon!

I have been trying to make a bunch of cards for my Mom, ones that require no extra postage, so she can mail them easily.....no trips to the Post Office and hand stamping, IYKWIM?  Soooo, the next idea was to make her a cute little box to hold all of the cards in.  I perused the 'interwebs' and found an easy to follow tutorial HERE, at Pink Buckaroo's Blog.

This will be entered into the Challenge at Scor Pal, Hearts A Flutter. 

The score lines for the box are at: 

card stock 11 x 7 inches, 1/2"   3"   8"   10.5"
card stock  7 x 6  inches, 1/2"   3" turn 90 degrees score again at 1/2"   5.5"

My card holder box isn't fancy or overly adorned, but it certainly gets the job done.

I used many Gina K Designs stamps for the dividers, Basket Additions, Lots Of Thanks, Make A Statement, Stamper's Favorites, and Up And Away.  Spellbinder's Hearts, Classic and Scalloped Circle dies.  Glitter dotted ribbon.

Nothing Fancy

 

That's it.....full of all different types of cards made with love.

 

Thanks for coming by.

Summer Colors, Summer Flowers

Hello Again!

I have one more card for you today.  This will be entered into the following Challenges;

Mod Squad Blog Summer Colors

Simon Says Wednesday You've Gotta Have Friends

My Favorite Things Sketch

 

And here is my creation:

 

 

I used 3 sets of stamps from Gina K Designs, One In A Million, Stamper's Favorites, and Up And Away.  I stamped the flowers image 3 times, made a mask to do so.  All flowers were colored with Copic Markers, I tried to match the background Designer Paper.  Each flower center has a dot of Liquid Pearls.  A little ribbon, Swiss Dots Embossing Folder and a itty bitty tag for the sentiment.  This card will be mailed off to Gina's Mom, Ruth, who is recuperating after a nasty fall.

 

Thanks for stopping by.

 

Enjoy~~





Up And Away

Good Morning!  Just a short little post, busy work day.....but there is some light at the end of the tunnel!  :)

Today's card is just a sweet little thing.  And it's orange.....I think orange seems to get a bad rap, and to be honest, it's not one of my go to colors!  But I think it works here.....what do you think?

 

Stamp from Gina K Designs, Up And Away.

 

 

This card is entered in 2 Challenges;  Curtain Call, Carnival Craze and the Sketch Challenge at The Sweetest Thing.

 

 

And that's about it for today.

 

Hope you have a crafty kind of day, enjoy it all!
