Key To My Valentine's Day

It's a beautiful sunny yet snowy day here in the Northwoods of Wisconsin. Trying once again to get a year ahead on holiday cards for my family, I found 9 previously made Valentine's cards from Paper Pumpkin January 2023, Key To My Heart, 3 each of 3 designs.  I decided to reproduce 2 of the designs by scanning in elements from the cards, copying them and then using my ScanNCut to cut them out.  I used various supplies from my stash and they're listed below. I realize many people make alternative cards with the Paper Pumpkin kits but I'd rather figure out how use the existing design to make additional cards. I think they turned out pretty good.  What do you think? Card Recipe Stamps:  SU! PP Key To My Heart, PP Adoring Arrows (inside: SSS My Kind Of Peep) Punches & Dies:   SU! Labels Framelits, SU!

Spidey Birthday Pop-Up

Happy Daylight Savings Day.  Ugh.  I hate losing an hour, hee hee. Today I completed a birthday card for my grandnephew.  His birthday party is Spider Man themed so I made this Spidey Birthday Card.  I found this spider man card, pin,  but the spider web embossing folder I own isn't quite the same.  I could only make a smaller Spiderman face so I combined it with the design from  Freshly Made Sketches  #FMS365.  I wanted a little bit of WOW so on the inside I made a four (his age, of course) pop-up. Lots of fun and overall, it didn't take me too long.  Phew, because now I have to make Valentine's Cards for next year.  😁😂 Card Recipe Stamps:  SU!

St. Patrick's Day

Hello! Still creating at the last minute, I recently created family St Patrick's Day cards.  I used a previously saved pin by Shannon White posted on the Taylored Expressions site as inspiration and combined that with the   Freshly Made Sketches  # 366 design.  I think it turned out pretty good but not quite as "polished" as I like.  I guess they can't all be super winners. 😐 I had fun "shopping my stash" to create this.  I am trying super hard to not buy more crafting stuff until I use some of what I already have.  I tend to buy things and never take the time to use them.  There are just so many cute and neat things out there in the crafty world.  Eeeks! For the inside sentiment, I printed an Irish blessing onto cardstock and adhered it inside each card. May your mornings bring joy And your evenings bring peace. May your troubles grow less As your blessings increase. Card Recipe Stamps:  SSS Gnome Lucky Punches & Dies: ...
