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”
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”
Winter Wonderland
This card came about after I saw someone post about reverse painting on acrylic. I thought it was so pretty, that I should try it. Mine is a shaker card with LOTS of mica flakes…lol. (Can never have too much mica right?) Materials: Stampers Anonymous Winterscape stamp set (CMS428) Stampers Anonymous Christmastime 2 stamp setContinue reading “Winter Wonderland”
Mr. Bones
I’ve been fighting a stomach bug this week, so my project this time is fairly simple, but fun. With all the new Halloween products coming out, I decided to go through my stash and use some of the older items up, because once you use it, you can get more, new, stuff right? LOL HopeContinue reading “Mr. Bones”
Just Breathe Butterfly card
I made this card for my dearest friend who has been going through some stressful times these past weeks. It is an easel card, so it can be stood up as a reminder that she will get through whatever life throws at her. Materials Used: Tattered Butterfly Bigz Die (664166) Ticket Book (TH94036) Distress CrayonContinue reading “Just Breathe Butterfly card”
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”
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”
