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!).

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”
