Anniversary & Babies!

This double Z fold was easy to make. It is always fun to find a way to decorate for the special occasion and in this case it was for an Anniversary. I used a Stampin up stamp set with the coordinating dies.  

This is a gatefold card for a friend's son and his wife who are having twins in October! They found out recently that they are girls. Love working with pink! Echo park paper collection worked out perfect for this baby card. They really had some cute stickers! Thanks for stopping by!

 

A Runner's Card

 I love making a card when I know what theme I can use. This is a Z-fold card for my daughter's friend who ran in a 1/2 marathon a couple of weeks ago with her. They both did great! My cricut sure came in handy for the runner and the "Finish Line" images. This is a quick post to showcase this card. Happy Birthday Jess!  

Easy to fold and mail

Plenty of room for the sentiment

Pop Up Step Fold Cards for June!

 I saw this pop up step fold card on Pinterest and had to make a couple for June's celebration.  I love that I could use scraps for the card and then decorated with dies from stampin up.  I also made a birthday card using this same fold. There is plenty of room on the back for the sentiment and it folds for a 5 x 7 envelope. Here is the link to the tutorial https://www.pinterest.com/pin/34832597116586582/

Here is the second card I made with this style card. Love how they both came out!

Book Folding for Christmas

 I have started making items for our craft fair in the fall. The books I use for the book folding technique are books that have been used and used.  Loving how this Christmas tree and Christmas gnome came out. The Christmas tree I have made before but this time I put fairy lights on it. The picture below does not do it justice but it does look pretty cool.  Of course, the Santa hat makes the Christmas gnome. Hoping that these 2 items are hits at the craft fair. Enjoy!

May Days

Kentucky Derby Time!

 

Just a short post to show our favors for this weekend's Kentucky Derby dinner. I got the little horses from Amazon and decorated the little boxes with Graphic 45 paper, roses and the horseshoe is from my Cricut. Love how they came out. Below are more closeup photos of the favors. Can't wait for Derby Day!

More April Birthdays!

 Flowers, flowers and more flowers! This is the time of year for the flowers. In the Northeast it has been an interesting spring but my daffodils are surviving the cold, snow showers and, of course, loving the rain! It is great seeing all the perennials coming up! Love making this variation of a trifold card.  

I call this style card a One-Pillar pop out card. Love how it folds down to be mail and plenty of room for a sentiment on the back.  It has to be a beachy theme card because this guy lives near the ocean. Lots of fun using my dies for this card. Happy Birthday!

Lastly, here in Maine we usually don't get snow in April but time to time we do get it. Here on April 6th we got about an inch of snow to cover the grass but not the roads or driveway which is a blessing. It won't be long before we are complaining about the humidity and hot temperatures, can't wait!
