For the Lovebirds

I put the heart earring from the 1980s around two of the closest doves on the patterned paper. 

I heat embossed the Lawn Fawn letter stamps in gold onto self adhesive vellum. 

You can see how much dimension that heart has in the picture above. 

This is the first fold using patterned paper by Paper Favourites, gold cardstock by Creative Memories, and heart dies. (unknown)

 

This is the final fold using heart patterned paper from the same paper pack and a wedding stamp by Stamping Up. Thanks for looking. HAGD! 

I’m entering this card into the

Simon Says Stamp Monday PUN challenge

Creative Fingers-Anything goes challenge

Manly Monday Beach Scene Card

The car stamp is by Tim Holtz in brown chalk marker, that I regret giving them to my niece.the die cut was bought on eBay.

The baby is interested in what is Mom and Dad doing. Details on the guy/girl panel: they are on a die cut that resembles a rope net or mermaid tail scales. The chair is by Gina Marie and the flip flops were drawn by my husband. Y

Then you open the next panel and you can see the parts and pieces that I used to make this  card. The seashell die cut is by Creative Expression (i think). I used a post note to ask off the different shelves and seaweed with I sprayed it with glimmer Mist by Tattered Angels. Same chair and shoes but the sunglasses are Stampin Up

As the title says, Craft Roulette’s Mary Gunn and Irene Smith came up with this name to describe a card design that is part Z-Fold card and part Joy fold card.

In the image above, the embossing folder is by Darice and I inked it with distress ink. The vellum is from the Paper Studio and I cut it into a circle using my Creative Memories cutting system. The gems are by Couture Creations. 

The brick embossing folder by Darice. I inked it with all different inks before spraying it with water. This is the inside flap other side of the green cardstock.

Trio Window Birthday Card

A very big and loud birthday card that I sent to my brother. It weighs a lot. I enjoyed making it was something different.

Project-A tri-fold card (my card has three folds)

Colors-Sleigh ride (I did mine as in the Nightmare Before Christmas movie)

Element-funny or Joke(s) (The sentiment sticker says, “How old are you now?” That’s kind of funny.)

Random- out of proportion (both of the sentiment stickers have a large word in them and that is out of proportion from the other.

Now that I look at this card, the nonhuman middle cake looks like it’s flipping you off. LoL!

Fancy Fold Graduation card for Jazz

The whole card opened

 Graduation card for Jazz. She’s a former student of my husband. They had some sort of playful thing with pizza and donuts. I included both elements in the card.
My cards normally consist of stamps and for this card, I wanted to challenge myself not to use any stamps. 

That’s a big thing for me. I made this whole card with stickers and super old paper by Creative Memories. I think it’s super cute so she probably loved it. 

Thanks for looking. HAGD!
