Card for Jennifer

 I made another card for Jennifer using the Colorado Craft stamp/die set called Catch a Star.  These mice are so adorable I can't stop playing with them!

 

I used SU' Pacific Point for my base CS.   For my layer, I cut out a circle to use as a mask for the moon and did some ink blending.  I then blended some light pink ink over the moon and colored my images and stamped the sentiments.  

For my inside sentiment, I used the same set and added some more stars.  Besides the cute mice, I also love the sentiments they have in their collections.  Jennifer is so excited about her chorus recital this week.  Hard to believe that school will be over soon.

Mother's Day Cards

 I hope everyone had a wonderful Mother's Day yesterday.  We were blessed with a beautiful day.  We couldn't have asked for more perfect weather.  Everyone was here and it was so much fun watching Jennifer and Juan play in the yard.  

I managed to put together some cards using Gina K's Wreath Stencil.  I tried to find a small pansy in my stash to use but ended up using one of the flower stamps from SU's Tea Together set.

Sorry for the blurry picture.  My camera was not cooperating.  

Here is a better closeup picture.  I used CS in their favorite color and layered them in Basic Black.  The sentiment was from the Tea Together set and I decided to used tiny gold gems for the center of the flowers.

For the inside sentiment, I used another great stamp from that same collection.  This month is moving right along.  I always judge the time by what cards I am making.  I have already moved on to making Father's Day cards.

Birthday Card for Jeannie

 As I mentioned in my last post, I had another birthday card to make for my daughter Jeannie.  A few months ago, I had purchased a kit from Gina K and decided to finally try it out.  I was thrilled how it turned out!

I used the Waterfall Floral Paper Pak  along with some of the ephemera that was included in the kit and  outlined the layers with basic black CS.  The ephemera made the card come together so quick and easy!

For my inside sentiment, I used Gina K's stamp set So Many Sentiments along with  another piece of ephemera.  We met her and Jennifer for dinner and had a nice dinner.  We are looking forward to having everyone here for Mother's Day.  I hope the weather will cooperate.

Birthday Card for Rachel

 These birthdays are coming fast - one right after another!  We celebrated Rachel's birthday this weekend.  Hard to believe that she turned 23!!  The weather was miserable here over the weekend, but the rain held off so we could get into and out of the restaurant without getting drenched.  We had a nice time especially when it came to the desserts!  I was looking through my stamps trying to decide what type of card to make and chose a Gina K stamp set called Spread Your Wings.  My friend had gifted me this recently and it was the perfect stamp to use as she likes butterflies.

I used SU's CS Highland Heather for my base card and stamped the image with black ink using my Prismacolor pencils with Gamsol for the coloring.  The only thing I wish I had done differently would have been to emboss the image so it would have stood out more.  I love the sentiments that are with this stamp set.  I also used SU's Very Best Trio Punch for my CS.

For my inside sentiments, I used SU's Parisian Beauty and Perennial Birthday. 

Here is a picture of Rachel with her Mom and Jennifer plus her duck.  She doesn't go too far with it!!  LOL!  My other daughter's birthday is Thursday so back to the craft room!

Flame Floral Birthday Card

 I was cleaning up my desk this morning and realized that I didn't post Sarah's birthday card.  It is hard to believe that she turned 21!! Things were so screwed up being sick with Covid.  We didn't get to celebrate her birthday until Easter.  I decided to use a stamp set called Frame Flora by Gina K.  It has so many nice stamps/dies.

I used her 5 /8" Masking Magic on a piece of  3 1/2" x 4 3/4" white CS and did some light stamp blending.  Then I stamped over it with the main stamp and then with the Love You in the banner.  This stamp set has nice different sentiments that you can use.

Here is one that I used for inside the card along with some leaves that I stamped.  Here are some pictures of the kids looking for eggs.

Daisy had to get into the hunt as well!

The baby needed some help to get this large one!

These two definitely had a bond!

Bunny Hershey Kisses

 I hope everyone had a wonderful Easter.  We had beautiful weather here which made the Easter egg hunt so much fun.  I can't believe that I did not make one Easter card, but I did manage to make these cute little bunnies for the table. 

I saw these over at Brenda Quintana's website and loved them.  They came together so quick and easy.  There are two chocolate kisses slipped in the bottom of the tent.  It is a great way to use up some of the scrap paper as well.

Here's a close up.  Unfortunately, my pictures didn't turn out the greatest but you can see their cuteness!  

I used SU's stamp set Easter Bunny along with the matching bunny punch.  This is the reverse side where I stamped "an Easter treat for you".  I think they looked so cute on the table.  We are all trying to get back to normal after Covid so hopefully the good weather will help.

Playing in the Rain Card

 It is hard to believe that it has been so long since I posted a card.  Life certainly can get interesting!  We thought things were starting to get back to normal after Joes' surgery, but he started to get very tired and not feeling well at all.  He ended up in the ER being diagnosed with Covid.  He spend a few days there as they infused him with the medicine remdesivir.  Needless to say, he was glad to get home.  I figured I probably had it as well and got tested and it was positive too! We were able to escape it for all these years but it finally got us.  Unfortunately, due to my MS it made me really tired and weak and I fell and banged myself up pretty good - but we are all on the mend finally.  Pretty nasty stuff!  I  didn't go into my craft room for weeks, so finally over the weekend I made it back there to clean up and put away all the things I had been planning to make for Valentine's and St.  Patrick's Day for next year.  

I had ordered this really cute stamp/die set from SU called Playing In the Rain and decided to make a card for Jennifer.  I had been talking to Rachel about it and she remembered how she used to love putting her boots on and go jumping through the puddles!  All these girls loved to go out in the rain!

It was a pretty easy card to put together.  I used SU's Old Olive CS for my base and black CS to layer my white.  This is such a cute set with more critters to chose from, so I will definitely be using it again! I used a small wobble on my rabbit so he could dance around in the raindrops.  I can tell that Spring is rolling in as some of our flowers are blooming and lots of rabbits in all sizes can be seen in the yard.  I have to find our hummingbird feeders as we usually start putting them out in April.
