Gertrude and Mom

I made this card for my mother-in-law to celebrate Mother’s Day and the great job she did raising her son/my husband. The little black line near Gertrude’s chest must have been a little scrap I missed before taking the photo, but it is not on the actual card. Hope you enjoy. Materials Used: Tim Holtz/SizzixContinue reading “Gertrude and Mom”

Rupert and his Treasure Part 3 Finale!

I am finally getting to part three of Rupert. I had a slight delay due to feeling cruddy after Covid vaccine shot number 2. Excited that I’m vaccinated though. Today I will do a step-by-step on Rupert’s treasure sign and put everything together. Materials: Sizzix Thinlits die set – Alphanumeric Shadow Upper- #664729 Ranger/Tim HoltzContinue reading “Rupert and his Treasure Part 3 Finale!”

Rupert and His Treasure Part 2

Originally I was going to talk about the “Treasure” portion of the tag, but quickly realized I needed to have directions for the actual background pieces first so I am switching Part 2 and Part 3. Part 2 will now have directions for the background piece and the ledge that Rupert and his books areContinue reading “Rupert and His Treasure Part 2”

Rupert and His Treasure (part 1)

Hello everyone! This week, I finished my Rupert project. It has quite a few steps/techniques so I thought I’d break it into parts. In this part, I’ll talk about how I made Rupert and all of his books. I’m just going to list the products I used in each individual part to make it lessContinue reading “Rupert and His Treasure (part 1)”

Oliver and Friend

This month the theme for our swap group is Spring/Easter. I decided to use cute Oliver on a 5″ x 5″ card. On an 8 1/2″ x 11″ sheet of paper you end up with a 3 1/2″ x 11″ strip, so I decided to also make a little 3″ x 3″ note card toContinue reading “Oliver and Friend”

Sympathy Cards

I’ve been a bit AWOL for the last few weeks. A dear friend of mine has been fighting for her life since surgery in December. She fought hard until the end but unfortunately passed away last week. All of her friends and family are understandably devastated. She was a wonderful person and was always cheeringContinue reading “Sympathy Cards”

Bunny Band

When I saw this die, I immediately thought the carrots would be cute musical instruments. I guess my brain just works in weird ways…lol. Anyway, I thought it would be a fun project. I took lots of pics this time, because even though it’s not hard, it might be hard to explain without pictures. Materials:Continue reading “Bunny Band”

Harrison loves you

This week, Harrison wants to be your Valentine! There are not many steps to this card, but I think Harrison is super cute with his Valentine’s day box of candy. My lovely friend, Iris, gave me this idea while I was playing with the Harrison die. Finished size of this card is 5 1/2″ xContinue reading “Harrison loves you”

Snarky Cat Birthday

For this card, I thought the Stamptember snarky cat image paired well with this sentiment from the original Snarky Cats stamp set. My card swap group had “humor” as the theme this month, so I thought this was perfect. Materials Used: Tim Holtz Stamptember 2020 stamp set Tim Holtz Snarky Cats -CMS392 Crazy Talk stampContinue reading “Snarky Cat Birthday”

Materials Used: Distress Paints– Mermaid Lagoon, Speckled Egg, Festive Berries, Ground Espresso, Carved Pumpkin, Black Soot, Rustic Wilderness. Picket Fence Distress Ink– I inked several pieces and I am not 100% sure which endedContinue reading “Vintage Santa”
