SURPRISE!!!! THREE CARDS!!!

I had cards made for all week but just discovered that they hadn't gotten scheduled for Wednesday, Thursday or today.  Since I have some lined up already for next week, I'm going to let you see all of them today.

The first card was made with a die that I purchased recently.  It cuts on the three sides so that you can flip up the design and have a message underneath.  I had intended to use it for some Halloween cards and stamp BOO inside but that will have to wait for hopefully next year.


Wednesday's Card - Outisde


Wednesday's Card - Inside


Thursday's Card
I saw a similar card like this on Pintrest when I was needing some sympathy cards.  I used the Stampin' Up! set "Thoughts & Prayers".


Friday's Card
I used a Penny Black "Rose" die.  First I cut a rose from a piece of white card stock and mounted the negative of it over a piece of black card stock.  I then cut a second rose stem from green card stock and the bloom from red.  I used this card for some friend's anniversary.

Don't forget to change your clocks this weekend........FALL BACK...... and gain an extra hour of sleep!  Stay safe Halloweening!!!  I hope you enjoyed seeing all of these today,

ANNIVERSARY CARD


I used this Thinking of You card for my friend, Harriet.  She and her husband were celebrating their anniversary in September.  Inside I used an anniversary stamp (or maybe just wrote a message).

Thank you for stopping by today.

HAVE A GREAT BIRTHDAY!


A friend of mine from our Yahoo group had a birthday in September.  Although I did send the card before her birthday, I know it was probably late getting there.  The ice cream cone was made using a stamp set and papers from Stampin' Up!

I just saw the weather forecast for the end of the week and it is supposed to be chilly so I don't think ice cream cones will be sounding quite as good then.

Hope you had a great weekend.  Thank you for stopping by today!

TWO FINAL HALLOWEEN CARDS


The designer paper is from Stampin' Up! and the dies are from Impression Obsession.


I had a scrap of this dp  and the colored image left over form last year.

I managed to get 70 Halloween cards made.  I've never made this many for Halloween in the past.  I decided that maybe they would brighten the day for many who might be forgotten otherwise and let them know that there are people who care.  I'll send 6 to our grandchildren but the rest will go to people in various care centers.  

My next big project is going to be working with the students of the religious education classes at our church making Thanksgiving cards.  I will make up kits and have pieces all cut.  They can do some minor stamping and assembling.  Those cards will also be for the care centers.  We will also do cards for Christmas and then we'll see about after that.  If the students don't do any further, then I will probably take on the project myself.

Next week I think it is time to move on from ghosts and witches.  I hope the ones i have posted have possibly given you some fun ideas of your own.  Thanks for stopping by!

BLACK BIRDS ON A WIRE


Not necessarily a card for Halloween but the colors seemed to be good for the season.  The die is from Penny Black.

RITA HOLMES INSPIRED ME AGAIN

 Yesterday I watched Rita's video on Facebook.  This was a bit of a challenge for me but I am pleased with the results.  The front has a...
