CARD FOR A GRANDDAUGHTER

Our Granddaughter, Abby, celebrated her Golden Birthday - 12 on the 12th.  This is the card I made for my mother to give to her.

I used the Memory Box "happy birthday" die to cut the top of the white layer.  I left enough space for the strip of Washi tape cupcake design and used a second Memory Box die to add the bottom design.

Thanks for stopping by!

PURPLE AND YELLOW CARD SWAP

I had cards done ahead and thought I had them scheduled for Monday through Friday this week.  Somehow the whole week has gotten by me.  I've been busy finishing up 65 card kits for the religious education students to make, 44 cards for the independent living center staff to hand out to all of the residents and 18 cards for my own use.  I guess that explains in part what happened to my days.

I used the Stampin' Up folder for the embossed frame and the retired stamp set "Awash With Flowers".  The little  "For my Friend..." is from Darcie's.  I used Copic markers so I could do a little shading on the flowers.

I purchased the SU stamp set from my friend, Kris, and it happened that she was my partner in the card swap.  Thank you for stopping by!

THANKSGIVING #5

The idea for this came from Pinterest.  (I see my acorns are upside down!!!!)  The inks and "For All Things" stamps are from Stampin' Up!.  My husband and I will be sending these cards.

THANKSGIVING #4

Originally I made up 8 kits of this style of card for the kids at church to do but for some reason changed my mind.  I will finish off the cards myself and use them.  Last week I talked to the activity director at the independent living center where my mother lives and told her I would make up enough Thanksgiving cards for Ridgeview to give out to all of the residents. I have other cards that I am sending to some of them myself.

By the way, I want to wish my friend Terri and her husband HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!  I also am wishing my dear husband a HAPPY BIRTHDAY today.  We may not do anything today to celebrate but tomorrow night we are going to go to the high school production of "Grease".

THANKSGIVING #3

This is the third design which was made up into kits.  I sponged three different colors over the masked strip ahead of time because I didn't think the kids would want to be messing with inky fingers at class.  They will stamp leaves (I have three different small leaves to choose from).  I actually saw one like this on Pinterest and thought it would be a good one for the kids to do quickly.  The design is done on a white mat and then mounted onto the card base.  Some of the older kids will probably do this design so they can get the top layer mounted fairly even.

(I added the single maple leaf (top/right) because I saw a slight smear of ink from when I was doing the sponging..........so I covered it up and now it really doesn't show.)

THANKSGIVING #2

This is a sample of a card that I made into a dozen kits for religious education students to make for residents of a local care center.  There are three different designs they will be doing.  Another kit of 39 cards is like this only it has a maple leaf stamp on it.  The students will color the designs at class and then assemble the cards.  In all there will be 64 students will each get to make one card.

FIRST OF THANKSGIVING CARDS

The first of the Thanksgiving cards I made which will go to residents of care centers and independent living centers.  I used the Stampin' Up! inks and "Gently Falling" stamp set.
