Things are starting to look up around here. Healing is making big leaps and bounds and I am feeling more like myself.
Today is a cute and simple ewe card! Enjoy.

I have been having a good time stamping since my mobility is decreased due to the belly incision not healing right. I think it’s getting better but hard to tell! I start back to work 4 hours a day today – that’s probably all my brain can take. Looking forward to getting some kind of routines going again. This card is so elegant in real life- pictures don’t tell the whole story. Happy Monday!
So I did take Kevin’s advice yesterday and didn’t “over due it” and stamped pretty much all day! I love this layout! I started with several sheets of 8.5×12 card stock and cut at 5.5” on the 11 inch side; then cut two pieces 4×5.25” and 3.75×5”. I discovered that you can’t score the paper under the circles to just cover the circles to save paper. You have to use a full 3.75×5 piece. Well, I guess you don’t have to but if you want your card to look good you need to! What I like about cutting several cards is then I can just make cards and not have to get up and cut every time. I did take two circle die cuts and cut out of the 4×5.35” paper- they did go on random – in other words I didn’t measure to get them in an exact spot. I scored the 3.75×5 all the way across- again it makes the cards even across.
Normally I would not tape these pieces together and stamp but because of the curl on the scored paper and I wanted a photo- I had to.
Will let this be all for now- but more to come!
Happy Saturday!
Good Morning!
I wanted to flip the layout on the cards that I’ve been doing. My sister also suggested I make a frame around the square. So I did both!
I did also sprinkle some gold sparkle on it too. Again I left the square empty since I’m not sure what kind of card it will be- more than likely Sympathy.

I think I’ll go do some more stamping! I have 3 inches of my belly incision that has “wound delayed healing” which actually means a painful belly🤪 I was planning to clean bathrooms today but when Kevin left he said “don’t over due it today” so stamping it is!
I got started making sympathy cards and couldn’t stop. I also want to try this same card layout but change it up a bit today – we’ll see how the time goes. I’ve got a doctors appt so that kills a lot of the day.
I did stack these die cuts. One of my favorite things to do rather than use 3-d-dots. I just cut two extra layers and glue together. Love the look and feel! Stamp links: GG47 Hollyhocks; CC31 KB’s Bees; C331 Heartfelt Sympathy Sm;
Here are some directions for the layer: The layer (4×5.25”) card stock is usually the same color as the base card. score as below.
I do score twice. I score, then take a 1.5” square cutting die, and line up.
Cut out and then re-score since they get smashed in the Die Cutting machine . You could cut first and then score but I like the visual of knowing where the scores are. My score tool is just holding the paper down for picture.
I decided to leave this blank and stamp when I know what kind of card I need.
Good Afternoon! I hope all are well. I’m getting better – I think! It’s been a tough road but we are moving on. We have a friend who turned 89 a few days ago – yep my card is late. Always running behind but I had some fun making him a card. I sometimes forget how much I like to stamp when I haven’t done it in a while.
I decided not to color the bees because I didn’t want to ruin it and then have to start over 🙄 I did have to split the Happy Beelated Birthday stamp. Here is the link for that stamp: C329 Happy Beelated Birthday and the bee stamp: CC31 KB’s Bees – this is also used on the inside
I’ve been organizing my cupboards while recouping so I best get back to it and clean up the mess!

I’ve needed to make some thank you cards lately to thank people for all their help during my surgeries and recoveries. Recovery goes a bit too slow for me – anxious to be feeling better but was fun to make a few cards. Today was really my first day alone – everyone back to work or gone so was able to just enjoy sitting at my desk and coloring!
One of my favorite stamps sets the CMO104 Trio Aloe Vera and of course it’s matching Cutting Die CDCMO104 Trio Aloe Vera Cutting Die; I also love the size of this thank you- C332 Thank You fits in a 1.75” circle
I promised pictures of my cards made with the paper I purchased at the garage sale. I’m really having fun with the paper.
I also have some news…a few weeks ago I was diagnosed with breast cancer. I under went double mastectomy on Thursday and I’m home recovering. it’s been quite a shock and I think I’m so a little numb but surgery went well and we are waiting on the biopsy to know what comes next.

Finished another Bee card! I bought some paper at the garage sale we had. Buying my sisters junk! Supposed to get rid of stuff not buy but I will post some pictures later with the super cute paper! But for now the bees! This is a great card to send if you just want to let someone know you care!

Spent some time in the Stamp Studio yesterday! Oh it was so much fun. I got this border Cutting Die from My Favorite Things several weeks ago and I am just getting a chance to use it. I love border punches and they are really a thing of the past so I need to move on to border Cutting Dies!
It’s hard to see but I’m really into layering my Cutting Dies.
I cut out extra and glue together and layer. No need for 3-D-Dots! They add so much depth to the card but it’s hard to see on the pictures. if you’ve gotten a Frog card kit or the Present card kit-you will know what I’m talking about!

Times fun when you are having flies! Boy does time ever fly! I’ve been wanting to get this card kit on the website and I finally got around to it! It’s super cute. The colors are great. There are extra frogs so they have depth to them! We’ve sent a few out in some of the orders.
