With Sympathy Card

I just got this new Stampin Up Birds and Branches set and decided to make a sympathy card.  I just love these little birds.  We just lost my niece to covid so I made this card for my brother and his wife and thought I would tuck in a check to help with the funeral costs.  I figured that money in this case in lieu of flowers would be appropriate.  I am so over covid and so sad that it is here to stay.  My heart goes out to all who have lost loved ones due to this awful virus.  No everyone suffers a loss, but in our case, we did.  I think these birds make a pretty card and look forward to using them again.

Farm stamped card

 I have a friend that just lost her husband.  I have been sending her periodic cards to check in on her.  This is one I made.  One of my first attempts with alcohol markers.  Not the best but kinda fun.

Pop Up Flower Card

I just got this die and had to give it a try and then liked it so much I bought this flower .svg  like this to use also.  It is easier and faster to cut on the machine as I can cut all pieces at once whereas a die I have to cut one piece at a time.  I love my new cut file.   What a beautiful flower it makes!  I can't wait to try it with some really pretty paper as this was just my first go at it, but I think it is pretty.  Can't wait to use this one again!

Bunny Box

I had purchased this cute little bunny box awhile ago from My Scrap Chick.  I love their boxes as they are so easy to assemble and super cute to give as a little gift.  Since we were in quarantine, I decided to make these little bunnies to put in my kids Easter baskets to make them look a little more festive.  I also made some cute little frogs and I had some Easter eggs on sticks that I had intended to put on a wreath, but was so glad that I had them on hand.  As it was, their Easter baskets turned out so super cute and they didn't feel bad at all on Easter morning.  I know that isn't the real meaning of Easter, but it is fun to have a little something just for fun after we talk about why we truly celebrate the season.

Valentine's Box Card

 

Lookie how sweet!  I bought this Valentine's Box Card from LoriWhitlock's shop and decided to make one for my family for Valentine's Day.  Here is my first one.  I have a few more to make.  So much fun though.  What a cute card.  It folds flat for mailing so I will make one for my Mom also.
