Sympathy Cards

Sympathy cards are never "fun" to make and I struggle with them and what is "appropriate". The first two cards are A7 (5x7). The last one is an A2.

Patriotic Cards

Patriotic Cards .... I love them, and there were so many on Pinterest that I had a hard time deciding who I was going to scraplift from. LOL


This one was lots of fun.

Recipe:
A2 Card
Stars cut at 1" from George & Basic Shapes
Blue Square 2.5" x 2.25"
Stripes 5.25" x 0.75" punched with the Scallop Trim punch from Stampin' Up


I made this card for Card Club. Lots of Fun.

Recipe:
A2 Card
Cream Star mat - 4" x 5.25"
Blue mat - 4.5" x 3.25"
Red mat - 3" x 4.25"
Blue and White star mat - 2.75" x 4"
Stars - cut at 0.75" & 1.75"


My Aunt found this one HERE. So, of course, I had to give it a try! I didn't have the horse stamp, so I improvised by welding three horses together from Old West.

Thanks for looking,

Baby Cards

Hello cafting friends. It has been a long time since I posted, but I haven't stopped crafting. My son got engaged recently and volunteered me to make all of the wedding invitations. I have been scouring the internet and Pinterest for ideas. I have so far sent them 10 samples to choose from. Thankfully, it sounds like it will be a small wedding!

Anyway on to my crafting ....

I participate in a Card Club at my local scrapbook store. We have a theme each month. This month was baby cards.


Recipe:
5.5" Doily Card - cut from Wild Card
5.25" circle - cut from Wild Card
2" Moon - Baby Steps
2" Mood & Cloud - Baby Steps
2" Baby Girl Sleeping - Baby Steps
1.75" Baby Boy Sleeping - Baby Steps
Cloud Cuttlebug embossing folder

Since I was mass producing these, I wasn't paying too much attention to the differences between the boy on cloud cut and the girl on cloud cut. So once I noticed there was a difference, I adjusted the size of he little boy to coincide with little girl.

Thanks for looking!
