 Hi there-

I am so happy to post this.  Our network was misbehaving today and we finally straightened it out.

Our nephew is accepting his Master's Degree Friday and here is the card I made for him.  (His university colors are orange and black)

 I've gotten quite a bit of use from this darice embossing folder over the years. 

 Thanks for visiting.

 Hello

A few challenges got my mojo going.  This cards resulted:

 Its going to visit Just us Girls (Stencil), Seize the Birthday (Primarily Pink), and Can You Handle the Pressure (optional twist flowers.)

The flower is the  elegant rose stencil from SSS along with the matching die, the inks were the cherry blossom set from Altenew, and the embossing folder came from SU so swirly.

       

 Thanks much for visiting.

 Hi Friends--

Not my card; my niece came to visit and wanted to make a grad card for a friend that just graduated and is receiving her degree. 

Her friends school colors are orange and black and she loves her cat.  So with those bits my niece came up with this card, and I think its adorable.  I asked my niece if I could share it on my blog and she said yes.

 

 Thanks for stopping by.

 Hello-

We are having a lovely sun shining day here in northwest Ohio.  I have a card visiting two of Diane and Darlene's challenges: Fourseasons Spring Season April and Stencil Fun Challenge.

 

 

This sweet bouquet comes from Pink Fresh along and the suite includes stencils and dies. Sign me up! No quicker way to make a card from my perspective.  Altenew inks  were used, the image and sentiment were stamped in versafine black and clear heat embossed so there is a bit of texture for the main image. 

The three blooms can be diecut as well and lifted above the image, next time perhaps.

     

 Thanks much for stopping by.

Hi friends.

I have a Birthday card for you today. One for a niece.  I struggle with man cards and cards for teens, tweens and down to toddlers.  I hope this one works for a soon to be 13 year old.

The image and sentiments were stamped, diecut and sent to me several years ago. I was first starting to make cards for the newest and younger nieces and nephews my Dads remarriage brought to the family. I had asked crafty friends for suggestions, and received quite a few envelopes of stamp offs.  I've kept them all, and am so grateful for lovely friends.

I am submitting this to the gallery at As you See it. Birthday cards are probably the second most in volume of the types of cards I make.

Thanks for stopping by!
