A Cow and a Beaver

I participate in two card swap groups and this week they overlapped. The theme for one of the groups was animals, which I carried over to the other swap group that was open themed. I chose simple layered cards as these swaps are being done by mail due to the pandemic, and I didn’t wantContinue reading “A Cow and a Beaver”

Gertrude in the Fall

Ok, I admit it- I may be a little obsessed over the Gertrude colorize die by Tim Holtz. She is just too darn cute and perfect for slimline cards. Today Gertrude is dressed for fall ( with our temperatures climbing well into the 100’s here, I may be dreaming of cooler weather a bit). OnceContinue reading “Gertrude in the Fall”

Christmas Nature Walk

It’s Christmas in July! I know it is early, but I had an idea in my head and I decided to go for it. This little scene lights up (I think I might be getting addicted to tiny lights!). As a bonus, if you follow Stacy Hutchinson over at Tattered Nest Designs (www.tatterednestdesigns), she hasContinue reading “Christmas Nature Walk”

Crazy Dog Birthday

July 10 was my youngest son’s 23rd birthday. Time sure flies!. I decided it was time to pull out the crazy dogs and the crazy things. If you don’t have the crazy things stamps and dies, in particular, you should consider it. It is chock full of fun things you can add to your projects-Continue reading “Crazy Dog Birthday”

SUP

This card was for a dear friend of mine who had been in the hospital a couple of weeks and finally was able to come home. He is not a hearts and flowers type of person, so I wanted something more funny and masculine. Enter the Hipsters… Materials: Tim Holtz Hipster stamp set CMS288 BlackContinue reading “SUP”

The Professor

Hi everyone and happy Friday! This card started because of a prize I won on Instagram from Tim Holtz. The Professor 2 was the stamp set I chose and I felt I had to use it. I also recently learned this fun new fold, so I thought I’d combine them. It was lots of funContinue reading “The Professor”
