May Your Holidays Sparkle

 Love this card.  I just may make several more to send out to friends and family.  It also was a fun card to make.  Not to mention, it was kind of easy, too!

I used a basic green, red and vanilla card stock plus a pretty plaid designer card stock.  I die cut poinsettia leaves with gold paper and delicate pine branches in green.  The little circle of bling in the middle of the poinsettia is a little cutie that I picked up at a scrapbooking show years ago.

 I think I may add some more sparkle inside the card.  Have to think about this.

Merry Christmas

Here is a sparkling Christmas card.  This card was fun to make and a little challenging.  The metallic glitter paper is kind of thick so cutting with the snowflake die took quite a few runs through my Big Shot.  After I finished the card, a little bell went off in my head - I think the last time I used this glitter paper, I turned the paper upside down so the backing was on top and would cut first.  duh??

Anyhow, I saw this sketch last week on Pinterest and thought I would try a couple different cards.  A solid blue basic card folded a couple times with a lovely delicate snowflake on the front and one on the inside along with a die cut Merry Christmas sentiment.

 A simple yet elegant Christmas card.  Great to send to a man or minimalist friend.

My second card for this sketch will be in another post.

Simple Happy Birthday Card

 Here is an easy to make birthday card.  Of course, the terrific paper covered with coffee cups adds a whole new element to this card.  The little sayings on the cups are so cute, too!

Books and Coffee

 A few months ago I picked up this digi and absolutely love it!  Each card I have made looks different due to the change in colors and shading.  This card is edged in gold and many of the books have gold trimmings.

 I took a card making class a couple years ago and one of the featured ideas was to use a gold ink pen to edge the cards and images.  The gold certainly adds quite a bit to the card.  Love the gold edging against the black frame.

2020 Fall Winter Coffee Lovers Blog Hop

 Well, I almost missed the 2020 Fall Winter Coffee Lovers Blog Hop!  We've been busy doing next to nothing, too!  Time and days just got away from us and before we knew it, November 10th was here.  OMG!!

So, I quickly ran to my cave and made a card:  I added some lovely watercolor to a digital cup and picked out cheerful paper and cardstock.

Hope you have a great day!

May all your wishes come true

 Happy Fall!   We have a beautiful maple tree in our front yard which I love looking at all summer.  Usually the leaves slowly turn orange and yellow in the fall.  But not this year.  It seems like half the leaves fell off the tree today - leaves were raining down!

So in honor of my tree, I made this card using fall colors (orange, gold, brown, green) in the paper, foil leaves and twine.

Friends

Such a sweet card.  Since I have not seen my friends in months (!!), I made a few friendship cards to send to them to let them know I was thinking of them.  I miss my bridge partners and the ladies in the woman's club.  😘

 

 

 

 

 

Have a great weekend!

For all Librarians and Book Lovers

Love this die!  I've made several cards with this die and love the results.  The cards can be a birthday card, a card with retirement wishes or just to say hello.  I like the different look of the books with the  printed paper and the plain white cardstock.

 

 

 

Have a great day!

All Occasion Card

Well, I made this card a few weeks for a challenge and then forgot to post it.  I think this virus and change of habits and schedule has me turned upside down.  Over the past weeks I have made several cards and there they sit on my desk.  So today I will start taking pics and start posting on this blog.

Here's the first card - an all occasion card - featuring pink and tan die cut flowers on a white paper doily with a brown ribbon.  The basic card is dark brown with a white cover and bright pink tag.   The center of the pink flower is made of flower fluff.

Good Friend

Thanks for being such a good friend:  great card to send to a great friend.  I made this card for the Festive Friday Challenge #FF0063 celebrating International Day of Friendship.  From the inspiration list I chose pink, green, friendship sentiment, polka dots, flower and embossing.  I had fun making this card with all the different elements.

Layers of Books

Love this image of a stack of books and a coffee cup - love the old fashioned design of the books.    I added a little bit of gold on several of the books.  When I saw the challenge theme for The Library Challenge, this layered stack of books came to mind immediately.

2020 Spring/Summer Coffee Lovers Blog Hop

The last couple months have dragged and I feel like a year has passed instead of a few weeks.  So, I was ever so happy for the 2020 Spring/Summer Coffee Lovers Blog Hop to begin!!

Card #1
This card is the first in a series of three coffee related cards that I will make.  It is a digital pic that I downloaded --  can't remember when or the source.  I need to do some backtracking of my orders to discover the company/person as I really like the design.  The pic is originally black and white and I used my Copic pens to color the image.

Have a great weekend!

Graduation

Congratulations to all graduates this year!  What a year to remember.

For the Festive Friday Challenge #FF0058 I created this gift card holder using the new graduation cap die set from The Stamps of Life.  I cut the front pieces out of a paper napkin.  I've made other cards using paper napkins and love them.  Such a unique method.  Then I made a little tassel from some black twine and glued the sections to a white base card.  Next was to die cut the inside black piece and add the white embossed sentiment, congratulations.  The black piece is adhered to the white card only along the edges so a gift card or cash can be slipped behind the piece.

The elements I chose for this challenge are a gift card holder, congratulations sentiment, a little green and embossing.  Fun card to make.

Happy Mother's Day!
