Happy Friday! The count down to Thanksgiving has started. Only a few days left to get cards in the mail!
For this card, I used the small turkey and the cutting die on dull glossy paper after stamping the circle. Used a 1.75″ punch to cut out the circle. The white floral pattern is created with an embossing folder. We don’t have the folder for sale anymore. I think it is discontinued now but could maybe be found in a google search or any plaid/leaf/autumn pattern would be fun. The images were colored with alcohol ink markers. Links are below!

Today we have a birthday card with a turtle and two options for the inside insert. I haven’t glued the insert yet because I haven’t decided which to use. It is fun to have options!
Any turtle/tortoise fans out there? Kevin’s mom has a tortoise that roams the backyard in AZ (picture at the bottom!).

Alternate inside stamps: F312 Happy Happy Happy Birthday, the just a note birthday is an older stamp that we are still trying to figure out what number it is and could be substituted with another but shows that stamps can last for years and continue to be used!
Two simple motorcycle cards for today. I recycled an old calendar (originally from Target I think) for the background. The white swatches (dull glossy) with the motorcycles are 4×2.5″ and the color swatch behind is 4.25×2.75″. Links are below!

Instead of using adhesive pop ups to add dimension to this card, I just cut out extra motorcycles from scrap paper with the cutting die and layered to pop it up slightly. In picture above, the top card has two layers and bottom has three. Can you see the difference?
Good Evening! I have been doing a bit of stamping- really just finishing up half finished projects. One of my favorite stamp is the hollyhock. It is a perfect size for A2 cards and is quick and easy to color and cut out. The bottom three cards I will add words as I need words. And I always need Belated Birthday cards. 🥴
I should be writing thank you cards for all the help I had during my 3rd and hopefully final surgery. I am still not cleared to go back to work yet so will enjoy a free more days of doing “not much”.
I’m looking forward to being healthy during the upcoming holidays!

It’s hard to tell in the picture but I did cut out 3 each and layered instead of using 3DDots.
Another Thanksgiving card! This card has a lot of stamps on it and is so fun to make. We’ve had a very productive day and now time to make supper.

Happy Saturday! The to do list is never ending and it is a day full of cleaning/chores. We are not hosting the holiday this year and are looking forward to gathering at my sister’s. Wahoo! Still need to prepare food of course but less work on the day. We just need to decide what we are bringing and have it ready. It is fun to host but with the surgery, we weren’t sure how I’d be feeling. Thankfully it is behind me now and I’m so glad I didn’t push it back. Nothing fun about surgery and told my doctors I would not be back in 2024! Links are below.

White Felt Paper Link (The Paper Cut)
This is a simple Christmas card that really comes together after all the images get colored. The scene is all one stamp! To change the message on the card, the words at the bottom can be switched up. I have some in progress but didn’t get to color them yet as we decided to go to a holiday craft show at the high school for the Saturday afternoon.
To add some sparkle, I used a Nuvo Glitter Marker along the snow hills. Another option I want to do is dry embossing the words. Endless possibilities!
In the bottom photo, you might see a fish stamp… card coming to the blog soon!

How cute is this pink and brown combo!? The white background piece on this card is white felt and the smaller white piece is dull gloss. The bouquet is colored with alcohol ink markers. This thinking of you comes as a set of 4 mini word stamps. The three other phrases with it are: Thank You, Happy Birthday, and Just Because.

We are slowly getting back into our regular routines post surgery. Recovery is much quicker after this, hopefully, last surgery. Still resting but there’s also much to do!
It’s almost holiday season! Thanksgiving is the holiday some of our extended family and friends can join us for and it is always a wonderful and special time together. We look forward to it every year!
For those who we are not able to get together with, we can send cards! It is not the same as being together in person but most years it is just not possible with family and friends spread all across the world.

Wishing everyone a happy Friday!
Happy Thursday! We went back to a familiar layout and circle rose for this card (link to previous post at the bottom!). We just skipped the extra piece of color backing the front white swatch and pop up. Opting instead to put directly on the white felt background. This makes the card easier to mail. We have a lot of half done cards but just need to get some time to complete them and take photos! Hopefully more posts soon. Stamp links are below.

Sharing two simple cards tonight. Both stamped on dull gloss paper and colored with copic markers. The grass on the lamb card was made with marker but the set does come with a grass stamp. I just didn’t use it for this card because it would have been too much for the layout. Although I might need to try some variations and you could give me your opinions! All for now, links are below.
