Landscape Rectangle Accodion Die with Cupcake Add On

Playing around with a couple more versions of the Landscape Rectangle Accordion Die set.  This time I added the cupcakes.  Next is the fence!  These are so fun.  Since I cut a bunch of pieces, I decided to do 2 cards at once.  However, after having done it the bottom way, I would definately add the "frame" piece like I did on the top one, just to give it some more stability since my cardstock wasn't that thick.  Still ok, but next time I will add the frame or cut them twice to thicken the card.  Overall, it is super fun.  I do happen to like the first one with the sentiment in the middle instead of the cupcakes all the way across, but that is just a personal preference.  I did add the Happy Birthday sentiment that I made on my Scan n Cut to the back panel of the bottom one.  Such a fun card and a great way to make use of a 6x6 paper pad.  

Pop and Twist Jeep Get Well Card

So my son hasn't been feeling well so I wanted to send him a fun card.  Masculine cards are hard for me, but he likes jeeps and so this is what I came up with.  I actually hope he is feeling better BEFORE he gets this card, but if not, then I hope it at least makes him smile and remember how much he is loved!  The popup mechanism came from a Lori Whitlock file and I just modified it for my needs.  I hope he enjoys it!  

 

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.

Happy Bird Day Photo Collage Card

Oh my gosh!  This has just become my new favorite interactive card!  SOOOOOOO much fun and what an impact!  My FIL's bday is coming up and I wanted to make him a fun card since we are in quarentine and won't be spending the normal time together on his birthday.  I had just receive this die and had these stamps that I thougt would make a fun masculine card.  I just LOVE LOVE LOVE how it turned out.  These little birds were the perfect size to put on the inside and I think it is more masculine than feminine.  I have a hard time with male cards but I think he will like this one.  This is the first one of these I have ever made and it was so fun.  I think I am off to try it again!

Congratulations Reveal Wheel Card

I had bought these cute little stamps and the reveal wheel set and wanted to use it.  I must admit, these are so fun!  It takes a bit to get the stamps to line up, but such a fun interactive card.  These are a perfect way to use up those 6x6 paper pads that we all have stashed around.  I love how it turned out.  I wish them luck as they move on to new adventures in their life and hope they enjoy the card and remember us!

Congratulations Piggy Card

Sorry about the poor picture, but ..... not sure what happened.  This was one of  first stamping and coloring projects.  I masked off the pig and stamped the fence and then masked the fence and inked the background.  These were so much fun!  I love how it turned out.  I spent a few hours stamping and coloring and it was so fun.  I need to order more stamps!  I never have gotten into stamping because I could never get a clean image.  I bought a Tim Holtz stamping platform and LOVE LOVE LOVE it.  Everyone should have one.  What a whole new world this is to me.  So much fun!  Hope you like it.

3 Peaking Bird Card

What a fun project.   I saw a few cards online like this and decided to give it a try.   I love these little birds.  They are so fun!  I am still learning to blend with my markers, but I think, these turned out pretty cute.

Happy Birthday Bear Card

This was a fun card to make.   I used my new metallic rubons to create the metal look on the embossed cogs in the background.  It turned our so nice.  This card is for my FIL.  Inside it says, "Growing old is mandatory, growing up is optional!"  LOL.  Like father, like son....just sayin.'
