It was lovely to hear from many of you and we miss seeing you all on the road!
Here is a quick card for someone who has a new home. I’m a little disappointed with the glue spots on the background paper and need to remember to use less but love the simple look and the colors.

Wishing everyone a happy Monday!
Happy Saturday! Quick post with two birthday cards, both have candles in a square. On the first card, the background was created with alcohol inks. Create a water bath and drop alcohol inks into it, then gently lay the paper on top, quickly remove. I dry mine between paper towels but you could use old towels. They will stain though! And each result is different! It is hard to predict how the colors will look but sometimes I make a few and set aside for later use when it works with what I am working on. The textured paper on both cards is called white felt. Wishing everyone a wonderful weekend and stamp links are below!

Happy Wednesday! Today we have another zfold card. We were very surprised on Sunday to wake up to snow and Kevin had to shovel the sidewalk! We’ve been thinking of making card kits for this one too. Would there be any interest? Stamp 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!
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!
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.

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!
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!

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.
