Golden Retriever card

This dog card is one of many different dogs. This golden is one of many that I put together while upstairs with my new dog that had an infection on her incision. It was disappointing that her kennel didn’t keep her cone on her. But it is what it is. 

The patterned paper is by Provo Craft and the embossed paper by Cloud 9. The enamel dots are by Hero Arts. The border stickers are by Mrs.Grossmsn’s.

Fall Ephemera cards

I made this trio of cards using ephemera from a crafty friend.

The Fall card: The strip of paper in the center was stamped with a Stampin Up background stamp. It’s the same color for a tone on tone look. The checkered paper is by Provo Craft and the paper on top of that is a wood patterned paper by The Paper Studio. The jute is by Tim Holtz and the brad is by Creative Imagination. The sentiment was cut out with my Cricut.

The pumpkin card: This card has many of the same papers as above. The main thing that is different is I cut the wood patterned paper and gave each corner a fold up. Look closely and you can see how I did it.

The Bunny card: I stamped different leaf stamps with red ink onto a piece of striped patterned paper  by Provo Craft.  The brads are unknown. The sentiment stamp is by Stampendous and the orange oval die cut is by Sizzix.

Thanks for looking. HAGD! 

Floral Friday Paper Pieced Sunflower Sympathy Card

The sunflower background die is from Scrapbooking Made Simple. I used a host of old patterned papers by Provo Craft to paper piece the petals back into the die. The center of the flower is brown flock by Inkadinkado. 

Then, sigh, I matted the flower die panel onto another piece of patterned paper from that same paper pad. Well…it was crooked and for some reason I thought that I could straighten it out making the same marginal frame around the edges using pinking shears. It didn’t. SMH! I decided to make the whole thing look uneven by trimming the edges in different areas and ways. I made it look like it was supposed to be distressed.

The card base is from Current. I inked the edges so it wouldn’t stick out and compete with the white sentiment label. The sentiment is by Stampendous and it’s cut out with a Spellbinders die.

Thanks for looking. HAGD!

Teacher Appreciation Week Thank You Cards

You never want to hear the words “we had a lockdown today”. Worse yet it was because someone was in the building. That’s when I made these cards the night of the lockdown day. They’re not awesome cards but they were appreciated by the principal and vice principal. I didn’t take many pictures or close ups of them except that one. It was 6am and hubs was leaving for work.

The patterned papers are by Kaiser Crafts. The big Thank you and Grateful stamps are by The Paper Co. The yellow and green patterned papers are oldies by Provo Craft.

Floral Friday Yellow and Brown up-cycled card

This card is a crazy mix of products. It all started when I found this already colored in flower image in the drawer. (Colored pencils). The image is an oldie from the dollar bin at Michael's. 

Behind the image is a Creative Memories journal paper (I don’t like that paper.) with brown ribbon wrapped around the bottom. Behind that is a brown patterned paper which is a tissue box. I used a corner punch by Marvy and then put the corners of the journal box inside the holes that the corner punch made.

To finish things up, the yellow background paper is another oldie from my stash in the form of an 8.5 x 11 school themed paper by Provo Craft. I adhered the panel onto a kraft card base. Not my favorite but they can’t all be super uber good. .

 Same flower image Yellow flower card that is much better card for sure. Hehe!

I thank you for stopping by and taking a look at my card.  

Manly Monday Houndstooth Tags

The tags are upcycled from a bank that my mom swooped up from being trash when the bank went computerized and no longer needed them 

My mom worked at a bank for 35 years. In that time she experienced many changes; a name change, staffing changes, location changes, and a change to become computerized. They no longer needed paper tags or plastic bags for checks or these shaped boxes that held specific papers. She helped those things to be recycled and not just thrown away. My Mom swooped up those tags before they made it into the trash bin and rerouted them to my house.

Anyway, I stamped the tags with a houndstooth stamp by Deep Red stamps. The small round circle at the top is a tag by Basic Grey. The background paper is ancient by Provo Crafts . The brad is from my stash. Thanks for looking.

This one has patterned paper by My Mind's Eye. Project Life. The embossed present in the center is by Provo Craft. I freely cut it out of the paper and inked it with distress ink. Thanks for looking,

Easter Cards in Different shades of Greens

The patterned papers are old and by Provo Craft and K and Co. The top card uses that same embossing folder that I've used all week. The center embossed area works well with any cross. That cross is by Spellbinders and I inked the paper before I removed it from the die.
The second card, the cross is a stamp that I heat embossed with silver embossing powder. That square patterned paper has been stamped with a clear background stamp again very old. Thanks for looking

Easter Cross Cards in Pinks and Purples

On the 1st card, I really like how I did the floss. That sounded kind of cocky. ;) I sewed floss to the ends of the sentiment. Idk where I saw that from but you may see it again.

For these two cards I used patterned paper by Provo Craft- we’re talking old stuff. The floral images were printed on photo paper. Unfortunately, I do not know where the images came from.

The second card, uses rectangle die cuts by Spellbinders. The stamp set is downstairs and I’m still recovering from surgery and can’t find out. Thanks for looking

Accordion card With Candy Canes with a Yellow background

😭 The front sentiment smeared. But if you open the rest of the card, I think you can get past that. (I hope I fixed it before sending it out.)

The sentiment was created in Design Space and then I used a gel marker to write it on the white cardstock. I just didn't wait long enough or it got thrown on my desk and something piled over it. Anyway, this is old and I mean old patterned paper by Provo Craft. Green paper by Sunborn. Ribbon from Michael's. The back sentiment is a Hero Arts stamp and 2022 is a Stampendous stamp set. Thanks for looking. All of the accordion cards were made using a Melody Lane Cricut Design Space SVG.
