Happy Birthday Christina

Happy Birthday Christina!

Since I did not make an elegant card, I wanted you to have an elegant cake.

Thanks again Mrs. Party Planner Joyce!

Christina Is a sweet friend that I got to know from our 12 kits group. Christina is always so thoughtful and kind! When I grow up I would like to make cards just like her!  :) 

On limited time this week I thought I would try a few things : try and  Case one of Christina’s Cards , use the  PTI trees my sweet friend  Nancy sent me, and use this Lawn Fawn  snowman from another sweet friend  Sharron. This is what I came up with, not my normal style but a mix of a few things. 

Seize the Birthday with some Texture

Hope you have a wonderful day Christina!

Enjoy your hop!

Make It Monday #139: Stamped Square Frames

Back with a quick card and post for MIM and

colourQ challenge #214...

I really love Dawn’s MIM . I have used other stamps for frames before, but loving using the words to make a frame.

For this card I used Gobble, Gobble Stamp Set from Papertrey Ink. When I stamped the frame I left the first word off … the stitched frame is from LID The paper is Rustic White.

Take Care!

Make It Monday #139: Stamped Square Frames

by Dawn McVey

I think I spent more time trying to get a photo than I did making the card.

Good Monday morning to you!

Edited to say I lied! The stitched square is from Lil Inkers Designs(I use them on almost every card so I sometimes forget to say that.)

Everything I used on this card is from Papertrey Ink. For the frame I used Postmarks Stamp Set. I left off two lines on each end and crossed them in the corner.  When I stamped the trees I picked up the stamp just a bit and re-stamped it for a bit of a shadow.  

I love reading all your sweet comments ! I thank you for taking the time to leave them, when you stop by to take a look.

Stamps: Winter Hills , Postmarks Stamp Set and Think Big Favorites #20

Simon Says Monday

 Just wanted to stop in and wish all of you who celebrate Halloween, a Happy Halloween!

Have Fun! I love Halloween, always have always will! When I was younger my best friend and I would start planning our costume as soon as school would get out. We could not wait!

 For Timeless Tuesday you needed to add plaid or houndstooth.

 I din’t have either so I just made my own kinda funky plaid.

Second Post for the day!

Merry Monday #81 {Santa!!!!!}

Use a Santa on your card! 

Easy!

I should have brought the letters down a bit.

Hello again! I used Santa from Serendipity Stamps, don't you just love this one! My Alphabet is Wplus9 , I stamped the red and white stripes with my Pinstripe Backgrounder from Waltzingmouse Stamps( love this one )! The Christmas is from Hero Arts, and Lil Inkers circles. Quite a collection!

This is a card that I posted this morning for a split second then deleted it when I missed the deadline. I wanted to get a better picture than the one I had with my iPhone because it was in the early morning.

It was going to be for this Muse here and for Darnell Knauss card. 

 

For this card I use Stamps by Judith and A bit of glitter.

Make It Monday #138: Inlaid Die-cuts

by Betsy Veldman

Week 143 Recipe

Use string or twine.

Thanks for the heads up Ardyth!

Good morning! Hope you had a great weekend. We had two of our granddaughters for the weekend. They are just too much fun. They didn’t want to go home. They asked their parents if they could live here. I think is safe to say they had a great time as well. 

I had these snowshoes completed and siting on my desk and today they found a home on this card.  This weeks make it monday we were asked to inlay dies. I love inlaying dies. Theses also have a back on them and were kinda thick , this was the perfect solution. 

Everything is from papertrey Ink 

Two Feet Deep Stamp Set and dies!
 but the :Cuttlebug embossing folder

 I was going to post the three cards I made but decided to do the other two in a bit, one didn't make its deadline. 

Thanks !
