Hang in There

I'm a little behind in sharing this card.  I made it for my uncle before he was moved to hospice.  

I love this cute little elephant and teddy.   I colored a couple more but have yet to put on cards. 

I found the star in my stash of left over die cuts.  The 2 small pieces of patterned paper were also left overs that I kept just in case they would be useful some day.  The CAS design of this card is a little out of my comfort zone but I like the way it turned out.

Thank you for stopping by!

Warm Winter Wishes

 

Hello!  Popping by today to share a card I made using Warm Hands, Warm Heart digital stamp from All Dressed Up.  I used this same image to make a birthday card for my daughter.  Since I printed out two of them (I always print a spare in case of mistakes), I decided to use the image for a holiday card.

I found the vellum snowflake and the border punch piece in a bin I have of unused die cuts so the card went together really quick.

Thank you for stopping by today!   Stay safe!

Happy Vibes

Good morning!  Today I'm sharing the card I made for my daughter's 19th birthday.  She likes the colors pink and black, loves drinking hot cocoa and frequently wears slouchy hats so I thought this adorable image was perfect for her birthday card. 

I'm still trying to perfect shaker cards.  I'm a little more pleased with each one.   I don't know how to keep the sequins, etc. from sticking around the frame of the shaker.  Do other people have this problem?

Have a great day! Thank you for stopping by.

Merry Kiss-mas

 I hope you had a Happy Halloween.  We stayed home and kept everything pretty low key. Although I should work on cards for upcoming birthdays, an anniversary, and Thanksgiving before working on Christmas cards, I wanted to color this cute pup from All Dressed Up.  I love this image because it looks so much like my brother's dog, Magpie.

Happy Birthday To My Dear Friend

 Hello!   I made this card for a friend's recent birthday.  

This is my first shaker card.  I had fun making it and will try to make more in the future.  Since making this card, I bought some foam tape to make the process easier in the future.

Supplies:

All Dressed Up digital stamp - Happy Birthday

Challenges:

All Dressed Up Facebook Challenge – Embellish it – I used a bow and all the sequins in the shaker to embellish it.
