another Lavinia stamped card

Here's a birthday card I made for a friend's birthday.  It's 3D, as I used foam tape to raise the brown and green die cut areas.  Stamped with Lavinia fairy and used Lavinia alcohol ink background paper.  I just can not get enough of these Lavinia stamps.  I want to get more but that will have to wait. 
Thanks for popping by and leaving your comments.  I love to hear what y'all think of my creations.....

Parchment Birthday card for my Hubby

Hello to all the crafty peeps out there in blog land.   I have a card to share that I just finished for my Hubby's birthday this coming week.  I used a Groovi plate called Motor Bike and a background plate called Woven..... Colored with Prisma pencils to look like his Bike.   I am happy with it, a couple minor mistakes but he will never notice, LOL.  Just wanted to share.   Happy Sunday all.

Cards made this week

Hello crafty peeps.  I made a few cards with my new Altenew layering stamps.  These are from the "Beautiful Day" set.  The first is a get will for a sweet friend in one of my card groups, Nancy.  The next one is birthday card for a 99 yr young lady, Irene, whom I do not know but was asked to make a card for from a fellow card maker in a group I belong to.  She is trying to get 99 cards sent to Irene for her special day.  So that it and here they are.

Well I hope you got some inspiration from me, I am loving these stamps from Altenew......just in case anyone was thinking of getting them, they are wonderful.  And fairly easy to use .   Thanks for stopping by and have a great up coming week!

Until next time

3 for 3

Hello from cloudy rainy Texas... Since I had to be inside due to rainy weather an back/hip issues I figured it would be a good day to work on a few cards.  They are all Birthday Cards.  I is for my Niece for her 16th birthday and I did a Shaker card.  One is for a very good friend of my Husband who collects Dragon and love anything Celtic.   And the last one is for a sweet Gal Friend who's turning 59 next week, she was the first friend I made when I moved to Texas 34 years ago.  Boy it really is hard to believe we have been friends that long! I added a bit of wink of Stella to all the flowers but the picture does not show it, but it really shimmers nicely.  Anyway here are the 3 cards.  Love to hear what you think too.  And Thanks for popping by to visit.

Have Thursday to all.

Until next time

Quickie Card

Happy Saturday Peeps.  A friend called and wanted a card for her daughter's 30th birthday and needed it for today, of course, LOL.  So I used a bunch of pieces from assorted card kits that I had lying around, since I only had a very short window to make this for her.  I think it turned out pretty.  What do y'all think?  

Until next time,

Next to last Birthday Card for May finished!

OK, Ok, I know I said this was going to be the last birthday card but I left someone out by mistake so there will be on more birthday card coming before I get on to Mother's day cards.  This was fun to make it's from a kit with Downton Abbey theme.  It was a PBS show for those who do not know of it.   I loved the show and this set is nice.  Here is the card I came up with for a friend in one of my dearest friends.

Football Birthday Card

Hello Crafty Peeps.  Hope everyone is nice and cool where ever your at b/c It's definitely summer here.  110 degrees in the shade on my porch, yep that's hot.....  Anyway I promised to show the football card once I re-did it and well here it is. I cased it from one seen on Pinterest.  Mine's not as nicely done as the one I saw but I am still happy with the out come and this one looks like a football and not a "chocolate egg" as my sweet DH called the 1st one, LOL.  So here is my version of the football card:  

 Now DH is very happy with the cards for his friends Birthday's so I am happy too.  Stay cool and keep o0n crafting!

A Toolriffic Card!

Sorry Peeps could not help my self with the title........Anyways here is a fun guy card for the man who love to tinker in his tools.  I saw this on Pinterest and Hubby has a friend who is always tinkering in his garage with his tools.  So with his birthday just around the corner I had to case this Tool Chest card.  I am sure any of you who been to Pinterest will have seen this before.  It was fun and I picked up the tool stickers from Walmart of all places.....here's the card.  

So I should be sharing 2 cards with you, but I made a football shaped card for another friend of Hubby's and well let's just say I think it looks more like a chocolate egg, LOL !  So scrapped it and will try again another day......Such is the life of a card maker right!  

Until next time,

Been a bit behind on posting

Afternoon to all my online friends....I have been a bit lacks on posting the cards I've been working on.  Well not entirely my fault though.  My computer has started crashing a lot as of late....look like a new one is in my future!  So here is what I have been working on.

1st up a card for a Masculine cards swap I am in, I sent six identical and get 5 different in return.  Here is my Guy card:   

Second in line is a dry alcohol ink stamped card, done on glossy CS and image stamped in Black Stazon.  This one is for a special Friend.  

The 3rd and 4th  in the batch are made from a bunch of back grounds I made with nail polish and water and Alcohol Ink and water.  Made these cards into get well wishes I was needing.

I do have a couple others made but unfortunately I can not share these as they are for a swap in one of my card groups and would hate for my partner to see the cards before she actually rec'd them, LOL.  Kinda spoils the fun right!

Well that is all I got for today, Thanks for popping by and have great evening.

Until Next Time

100 yrs Old! Amazing......

So I a friend contacted me to ask if I would make a card for her Neighbor who was turning 100 this month.  She was contacting everyone she knew who made cards . This gentleman, James, was a WWII vet, he was in the Navy and was a radio man.  He could morse code 30 words a minute, which I have been told is amazing to do!  So unsure what to do for his card I waited til the mood stuck and here is what I came up with.......

Happy 100th James!

Accordian Card, my 1st one

Hello crafty peeps.  I ran over to my Mom's and used her camera to snap a picture of this accordian card I made for my niece's up coming birthday.  I have had this die form Elizabeth Craft for almost a year and decided it was time to put it to use.  I used outline sticker on sookwang, type of dble sided tape.  Then colored them with Copics and stuck them to the card. Sentiment is from Power Poppy, love their stamps!

Did the card in my niece's favorite colors, blue, green and yellow.  Well it was fun to make and I am very happy with the end product... Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful evening.

Also entering in the following challenges:

    Through the Craft Room Door - Anything Goes

A few Birthday Cards

Good Afternoon and Happy Saturday!  I want to send a warm welcome to all my new followers and of course to all of you who drop by and follow me here.  I read and love all your wonderful comments.  Thank You!

OK, Now for 2 birthday cards I made earlier this week.  The 1st one up is one for my nieces 15th birthday. She loves turtles and her fave color is yellow, so this is what I came up with:

  
And here's the inside too:

 Made this cad with the turtl digi I had in my files but unfortunately i failed to name who I got it from, sorry.  Colored it with Copics and fussy cut it out.  Added tiny white bow to top of presents, form Wal-mart.   Flowers are from Recollections.  Used  cuttle bug embossing folder, b/c I thought it kind of looked like the turtle's shell.  The green enamel dots are recollections also.  The die cut is from Spellbinders that I had for ages.  I used the cut out from the die cut to make a yellow space to match the front and stamped sentiment from Anna Griffin in blue.  Also stamped yellow tiny flower in corner also from Anna Griffin.  And that's it.....


I also made a birthday card for a dear friend, who loves to get handmade cards, Maria E.  She loves Stargazer Lilies, Shoes and the color purple, we both like all of theses actually!  So I made this card for her this year:                                            

OK, here I used another Spellbinder Die and the shoe die is from Top Dog Dies.  The flowers are from a Google search for lilies coloring pages.  It was a quixcke card but I really like the end product.  Hope you all do too.


Until next time,
