Hello!

Birthday, Cutting Dies w/ matching stamp, Frogs & Bugs

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!

Handmade cards for gifts

Baby Cards, Dull Glossy Paper, Thank You Cards, Thinking of You

Handmade cards make wonderful gifts! I had a stash of cards ready and picked a few to give to a neighbor as a thank you gift along with a mum flower. She loved them and now I’m inspired to make more as soon as I have more energy again!

Cutting Dies w/ matching stamp, Dull Glossy Paper, pattern paper, Thank You Cards

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

Recovery is slow and painful but making it through! Thank you to everyone for your support and patience. 💛

Long Time No Post

Card Kits, Coffee, Crazy Z Fold, Triple Circle Card Making Die

It has been a long time since we have sat down and written a blog post. I’m doing really good! No need for radiation or chemo so I feel really fortunate. Monday is my reconstruction surgery- I’m looking forward to having that in my rear view mirror. I have a new card kit. It’s a great coffee card that comes with four different options.

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.

Hello Friend

Cutting Dies w/ matching stamp, Dull Glossy Paper, flowers, Friendship

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!

Sometimes there are no words…

2022 New Releases, With Sympathy

We made this stamp for a friend who lost her baby in the last trimester and now we have had a second friend experience the same. There are just no words..

The card is pink and grey but the grey doesn’t photograph very well.

Stamps Used: F321 No Words; F323 Sending Love this time of Sorrow;

I’m sorry but I do not know the manufactures of the Cutting Die – just pulled it out of my stash!

Oh the weather is delightful! It is 82 degrees here in WI! Loving it.
