Wonky Squares

 

Hello and welcome. Feels good to be back to creating after a wonderful visit with family.

Today’s card is for our grandson-in-law. Not knowing what to do I finally decided on using wonky squares from the Silhouette. Card base is 5×5 and it took a few tries for me to get the wonky squares the right size. Pp was found online, sentiment circle was also found online but it had a swirly center that I changed to the number. Being the nasty person that I am I just had to show his age. Circle is popped up. When I set the wonky squares on the card it looked like it needed something else, so I decided to add a little texture using a crimper.

Thanks for stopping by, I really appreciate you taking the time. Have a great day and stay healthy & safe.

Happy 6th Birthday

 

Hello and welcome.

Today’s card is for our youngest great-grandson. Background panel was embossed with Cuttlebug’s Happy Birthday ef. Patterned paper was found online. Large number 6 is from the Silhouette, small circles were punched from the pp. All images are popped up. This went together in a very short time.

I won’t be posting again very soon, we’re going to MN to celebrate our 60th anniversary with our kids. We’ll also be celebrating our daughter & s-i-l’s anniversary and our daughter’s 50th birthday. There will be a lot celebrating going on. Lots of fun time catching up with kids, grandkids & great grandkids.

Thanks for stopping by I really appreciate you taking the time. Have a great day and stay healthy & safe.

She sells seashells

 

Hello and welcome.

Oh my, looking at this photo I realize I spelled seashells wrong. I’m thinking that’s ok because each line has 4 words. (I can justify any mistake).

Background paper is was found online, umbrella is from the Silhouette, beach babe is from an online coloring page colored with Copic’s, earrings and bracelets have Gold Stickles, seashell bucket is computer clip art, sentiment was printed on the computer. Umbrella is popped up.

Boiling Pot

 

Hello and welcome.

Card base is Stampin Up’s Cajun Crase, for the background paper I Googled patriotic background papers. To kind of spook it up a bit I used a cotton ball and black stamp pad. Sentiment was printed with my Hallmark card program. Boiling pot with skeleton and fire border are from the Silhouette. Fire is popped up, bubbles are Opal Rounds from Stampin Up, and of course I just had to use googly eyes. I’m not real crazy about it but I think it’s ok.

Faux Lattice Anniversary

 

Hello and welcome. Today’s card is another experiment for me. While going through some You Tube videos for lattice cards I came across a Faux Lattice video by Rita Holmes. Sorry, I didn’t save the page and now I can’t find it again.

The double-sided pp used is from a (not so recent) 6×6 Stampin Up book. Stamped die cut image is Gina K’s Tropical Blooms. My not so good coloring was done with Copic and Stampin Up’s Stamp and Blend markers. Sentiment was printed on the computer. Not really knowing what to do for a little interest on the top panel I tried using a small circle punch to punch out the center of the flowers on the scrap piece of the floral side of the pp. I think they look ok. I like the idea of the pp on the top inside flap.
