Turning 12 months old!

Good morning,

Another November birthday card I made for a sweet little that turned one year old.

The inside says: Congratulations on turning 12 ... months that is! Happy First Birthday! 

 I recieved the number line image from a Unity tamps grab bag and I just love using it for birthday cards, especially Littles!

This card is based on one I found on Pinterest

Today is the start of a new challenge at The Outlawz Challenge. You can play along HERE

I made this fun fold card for a woman who has mentored and mothered me for years. She considers me her daughter and I love her very much even though she lives quite a bit of distance from me so I’ve been unable to see her in person for a long time!

I saw this card on Pinterest and ended up watching and following a video (HERE) created by Sam Calcott UK. Great video, well done, fairly easy to follow and the card us fun to make and when I sent out, I used 5 x 7 envelope without issue.

Big Happy Wishes

Good morning,
November Birthdays have come and gone so I'm sharing a fun card I made for my daughter

This is called a Bay Window card and there seems to be quite a few variations of the layout. I think I like this one best.

The flowers on the side panel were done using the stamp off technique to add depth.(Looks better IRL)

I'm slowly starting to increase my selection of  6 x 6 pads for my cards as the patterns are a bit smaller and they are easier travel with. Still loving my 8 x 8 and 12 x 12 papers though. For this card I am using a new to me 6 x 6 pad called Family ties from Pebbles. I just love the designs and color combination of the set which consists of several shades of blue and green along with a love shade of yellow and brown and lends itself well to both feminine and masculine style cards.

Monstrous Halloween

Good evening,

I've pretty much got my craft stuff out but I've been job hunting and not spending much time making anything but I really wanted to play with paper when I saw a card on Pinterest called a Bay Window card. It was so cool that I looked up the directions on how to make one.

People, this card is so easy to make and very fun to decorate. Of course, for my first card I just did panels but you can die cut windows into them for another look.

This card does use an A2 base but I would like to try a 5 x 7 so I need to look for that or see if I can figure out the measurements. This card is so easy that I imagine figuring that out will be fairly uncomplicated.

So here is my first Bay Window card creating a fun Halloween card using an older stamp & die set from Close to My Heart which was released in 2016 I believe. I think these guys are so adorable and adding fun googly eyes just ramps them up a to hilarious!

Size: A2

Cardstock: Close to My Heart

Design Paper: Close to My Heart (Jeepers Creepers)

Embellishments: Stash (Googly eyes)

Ink: Stampin Up!

Spiderweb: Sizzix

Birthdays! What music in the world! In these unresting times, when nothing intellectual, economic, social, political, seems stable; when customs and traditions hoary with age are mixed with explosive elements, this oldest of institutions is not in danger of yielding to destructive forces. ~J.R. Macduff, Birthdays, 1893
