This is my card I made for my hubby. There is a Penny Black card with the most adorable teddy bears but I didn’t order it in time so I used a cute Sloth. The candy gift I made for my new card making friends. Card making gals are such nice people! I miss my group in TX but I have new friends here and that has been a huge blessing.

I copied Gina K recent card - a waterfall card made with hearts. She made a template and has a video if you would like to make it. I have made many waterfall cards but they are always little squares. Gina K is genius thinking of using this big heart! It’s beautiful. I happen to have the ephemera she had and was thrilled I could replicate it. I used different stamps though. Anyway this is for my mother-in-law for her birthday.
I just received this paper set, Perennial Lavender by Stampin Up and I love it! This is my first card with it.
A cute Penny Black stamp which is on one of those springs so you can make it wiggle! The design with the heart off the top edge is an idea from Gina K. Paper is Stampin Up. Just wanted to share it!
I cased these from MFT, just enjoy making them. I wont be sending them as I dont know who of my friends or family would like them. No matter, I love them! Fun!
I didn’t plan well, I should have made my cards in November apparently! I have to be in the Christmas mood though and that is after Thanksgiving. However I was gone the first week of December then had company the second week so here we are. I don’t believe my cards will get to their destinations by Christmas but I am sending them anyway. Here is what I have made so far.
This is a fun and easy die from HoneyBee. I love the dies they use to go with this bird in the samples- branches and foliage but I haven’t taken the plunge to purchase them. I had these pine branches from The Stamps of Life so I used them. I am pleased with how this turned out!
Pretty straightforward Stampin Up card. I enjoyed making it, sometimes it’s nice to have the coordinating papers and ink!

Here are two very different birthday cards for two very different friends! I love them both and wanted to make cards that would be specifically for them. One is a very traditional Stampin Up card with their supplies and the other is a Tim Holtz stamp set. Both fun to do. I am still learning Alcohol markers, they are getting a little easier for me but I really want to get that polished look I see card makers achieve. I am showing the inside of the cards too since I decorated them a bit.

I recently saw some beautiful Fall cards with colored leaves and was inspired to give it a try. I am not sure what they used to color the leaves but I found a post by Kittie Caracciolo where she used distress inks and they are the best color combo! I had so much fun with this that I made a second card just to do more ink blending of the leaves. The leaves are a Spellbinder die set from oh gosh 15 years ago? The stamps are the Gnome set by Stampin Up - Kindest Gnomes. I ink blended behind the Gnome and used Stampin Blends for coloring the Gnome home and part of the Gnome. On one I paper pieced the hat.
Saw a card on Pinterest with the striped strip and was inspired to make these cards. Kind of a break from Halloween and Fall cards. The first card is a Rubbernecker Stamp and I used water color markers and spritzed water before stamping and the other card's stamp is from MFT My Favorite Things which I colored with Stamp n Blend alcohol markers.
