Northwoods Summer Thank You's

I needed a few Thank You cards on hand for our neighbors here in the Wisconsin Northwoods. I've used this Thanks die with its shadow on a lot of cards now. I really like the way it fits on an A2 card, whether landscape or portrait.

I looked through my pattern paper and ephemera stash for summer and woodsy things. These are what I came up with. Some ephemera still needed to be colored and I'm loving those sunflowers from Gina K Designs! I'll have to use those again.

Thanks for poppin' in.

Cheerful Gingy Birthday

Good evening! I'm so glad you've visited. My younger sister and I have a common love of gingerbread girls and boys. I have often commented to her how I wish you'd see them year-round representing more holidays and seasons. With that though in mind immediately after the Christmas season, I decided to make my sister a non-Christmas gingerbread card. I started with the Freshly Made Sketches design #FMS364 and went from there. I chose the colors based on the SU! DSP Cherry On Top, concentrating on the red color since red is my sister's favorite color. In addition to what you can see in the photo, the gingy girl's body swings from side to side, as if dancing, AND there's a confetti flinger inside! I had so much fun making this cheerful birthday card. I hope you enjoyed it too. Card Recipe Stamps: SU! Itty Bitty Greetings, Lawn Fawn Simply Celebrate Winter Critters Punches & Dies: ...

Magical Unicorn See-Thru Shaker

Here's another cute card for one of my "littles" ... My grandniece turned 2 this year. I wanted to make her a card with a simple interactive element and shaker cards are the best for that, in my humble opinion ... nothing to move that could tear up the card. 😂 I also wanted to stretch my crafting skills a bit and step it up from normal shaker cards so I decided on making a see-thru shaker. With that decided, I went to my handy dandy stash of saved and unused Freshly Made Sketches designs and picked #FMS358 . Next, I looked through the splitcoaststampers.com past color challenges for a "girly" color combo and chose #CC1004 . Lastly, I looked through my Big Book of Stamps and found the rarely used SSS Magical Birthday set ... I actually think I used this stamp set to dress up the brown wrapping paper on her present last year, hmmm, theme? BTW , my handmade card related hobbies are BUYING stamps and dies, ORGANIZING stamps and dies and USING stamps and dies....

Easter Cross card

Good day! I often have conflicting thoughts on the theme of Easter cards for my family and friends because some of my friends are not Christians and I don't want to throw Jesus in their faces. In the past, this usually resulted in making two Easter cards, one religious and one not. This year though, I'm making ONE Easter card for all, and, since last year's Easter card had a bunny, this year's will be religious. 😀😊😇 I looked through my pinterest pins from years ago and found this one, Cross of Hope . I decided to CASE it but use primarily purple and yellow. I also chose to incorporate the Freshly Made Sketches design #369 into this card while using up some of my older 6x6 pattern paper. A win-win all around! I made the lamb on the inside pop-up for a bit more interest. I think the end result turned out very nicely. I hope you like it as well. Thanks for popping in and Happy Easter!
