Hello Friend card




Here's a card I made in a class at a scrapbook/paper show a few years back. If I remember correctly, it uses products from Technique Tuesday. If a reader knows otherwise let me know. I'm sending to a...yes friend, thus the sentiment.

Whatever card





Here's a card I made for birthday of a young man. A long time I made a 12x12 using some Ranger techniques and then did nothing with it. After a while I cut it up and made some cards with it. This is one of them. I used a Hero Arts clock stamp on top of the other stuff and cut the piece into four irregular rectangles. To finish the card I found this rub on that seemed to go with a birthday.

3 ladies card




Here's the card I sent for Mother's Day a few weeks ago. I set up my posts in advance and didn't feel like juggling them all around. I had this background sitting around. It was actually a tag that I cut to fit the card. It already had this design that I think was stamped on it but I sure can't remember. I added the three ladies and transformed it into a Mother's Day card.

Special Day Card



Here's one of four cards I made using a really easy technique from Club Scrap. I used an oversized stamp from Impression Obsession on four different slightly patterned paper scraps. I used a sentiment stamp from See Dee's and the card is done. Two of the other three are the same awaiting their sentiment. The third is just on a white cardstock background and I think that looks OK too.

Class of 2016 card





Here's a pretty simple card I made a free cut file from Clever Some Day. This gal has some great files, and informative videos for cutting machines. In a time when many kids take forever to graduate if at all from college hubby's niece did it in three years. Quite an accomplishment. She'll be on to grad school in the fall so we wish her all the luck in the world. I picked the colors for this card based on her school colors.

Yellow bird card




Here's a card I made using supplies from SEI. I'm sending it as an anniversary card. The flower is quite thick so extra postage will be required. Keep that in mind when sending cards. Also a square shape requires extra postage.

Untitled birthday card




Here's a card I had on hand that I made at a card show a few years back. I should have written down where the supplies came from, but oops I didn't. Anyway I like the idea of stacking die cut flowers. In this case they are vellum. We also added a bit of glue to the brad and topped it with glitter to showcase you can alter the supplies you have to suit your card.

Happy Birthday Card




Here's another card I made using the Club Scrap Curvy Woven Card technique. This one is for a guy birthday. I used Graphic 45 Perfect Gentlemen paper from a few years back. Ok, maybe more than a few years...

No title card




Here's a card I made using the techniques in this Jennifer McGuire post called Black Embossed Resist. Here's my substitutes: I used Basil card stock, the smoother side. I didn't have a Tombow marker so I used my pigment ink pad. I used Martha Stewart stamps and omitted the sentiment. Her card photographed quite a bit better but she's a professional and I'm certainly not. Anyway I like the technique and may make another but I think I'd like to use a marker next time.

Cure for the common birthday card





Here's a card I made using a background stamp by Hero Arts and a sentiment by Fiskars. I used white embossing powder on the background stamp and a cut/embossing dye for the sentiment.
