Shaped cards!

EARLY IN my card making career
I would love to view blogs that featured
shaped cards.  This card is a Lori Whitlock file
and it was so easy to put together.

Since retiring on December 1 of last year,
I think I've started to feel more domestic!  LOL.
My mixer has been getting use and
when I saw this file I just couldn't resist.
Of course when you purchase the file it's yours
so you can make this over and over again.




Of course I had to use my favorite Cardztv Stamp sets,
Sugar Rush & Foodie Punnies to finish
off the card on the outside and inside.



Have a terrific Memorial Day weekend
and remember those who have honored
our country by giving the ultimate sacrifice.

God Bless the USA!

My newest 3x3 cards!

I cannot get enough of making
little 3x3 note cards.
I use them at my church to give out
for birthdays, notes of encouragement, thank you
notes and get well.

Here are a few new ones I've recently completed.

I am now offering card classes to local
peeps who either want to learn how to make
cards or just want to get together with
other crafters.





I hope you enjoyed my cards!

Thank you for stopping by!

Loving these large cover plate dies!

I got a goodie box from
My Favorite Things with two new dies. 
I couldn't wait to try them out!

First I used the larger base die for the A2 size
card and used some paper scraps for the small
pieces needed to fill the die.  I thought the black
frame set off the hot pink/green/black color combo.


I took a photo of both cards up close so you
can see the detail.


The second die used was the Stitched Blooms DieNamics.
OMG!  This die is a must for all crafters!


I cut out two different flowers and don't they look
awesome on these cards!  The flower centers are
a couple of embellishments from Hobby Lobby.

I just love these cards - I hope they spur
on your creative juices!

Thank you for stopping by!

So sorry!  I know this is picture full, but I just had
to share a few more.  Sentiment is from My Creative Time
"You Matter" stamp set.  This is an awesome set!




PS - I love having these kinds of cards in my stash!
Sometimes you just need more than birthday and celebration
type cards!

More Fun!

Another awesome afternoon of card making!

I have a fun shaped card to share with you today.
I have a new Die-Namics die
and I just had to try and create
a cute shaped card!  I love it!


The stamped images are from Sizziz.  I used my
Copic pens for coloring the images. 
There are a set of dies that come with the
images but I wanted to put them on an entire white
card.  I love how the stitched die cut
frames my art!

Now that I have tried this shape - I can see
many more cards in my future!

Thanks for stopping by!
