Crazy Bird Tent Card

Just a quick post for a lovely lady! My husband and I have a friend that is going through a hard time medically right now.  She loves to laugh and these Crazy Birds by Tim Holtz always make me laugh so I thought this was perfect for her.  Just a Thinking of You card for her.  I used Graphic 45 paper for the card and SU flowers for decorating the tent part of the card. The flower on the front of the card is from Heartfelt Creations which I love to make up and just have them available for cards. Take care Sharon, we love you!!

Hot, Hot, Hot!


 We are starting July off very hot for Maine!  Hazy,  hot and Humid for the next 3 days so we are enjoying our pool! Sometimes it is too hot to get out of the pool!  Yesterday the water temperation of the pool was 80 and that is early for this time of year.  I am not in my craftroom now because it is so hot but last week was busy making some cards for friends and family.



My sister and her husband's 25th Wedding Anniversary was yesterday and  here is a card that I made for them. Happy Anniversary Chris & Tom!  I used Marianne Creatables bride and groom die with SU design paper for the background. Memory Box heart die behind the bride and groom. Silver, gray, black and white make and awesome card.

A friend from high school is having a hard time right now so I thought I would send her a "thinking of you" card.  She lives in California so I wanted to send her a little taste of the Maine Coast.  Love making the Diorama cards.  The lighthouse stamp set from SU was perfect for her.  Love our Lighthouses in Maine!


Love the way these diorama cards fold up and can be mailed in an envelope so easily.  I used a lot of dies from Die-namics, Sizzix and Impression-Obsession.  I have made quite a few of these types of cards and I never get tired of doing them.  Happy 4th of July everyone!!  Enjoy your day!

Drapery Cards

Love this fold!
These curtain cards are all over pinterest and because it is such a versatile style, I have made a few. They can be a Birthday, Thinking of you, or Anniversary cards, pretty much an All-Occasion card.  They make such a pretty card especially with design series or double sided paper.  I have left one empty with a sentiment so that I can use it for whatever comes up.  Embellishments that I have used sizzix, Die-namic, Spellbinders and Memory box dies with MS butterfly punch and pretty flowers from Michael's $1 bin.  The paper is from Stampin up. Lastly, some lace and pearls added  to the cards.

When making the curtain part of the card, it is all about the scoring. Fun to do, give it a try!  Below is the link to directions for the scoring.
