February Birthdays!

Love these pop up double tier cards especially for birthdays, and I love adding a photo! I made 2 of these for a friend's husband and my brother in law who's birthday is at the end of the month. Both of them, have a love affair with their cars! Below is the picture that I made for my brother-in-law. Did I mention that he is turning 70? Happy Birthday Tom & Sandy!

My sisters and I have changed up our booth at Cole's Corner in Wells, Maine and below are some pictures. We have added some of our crafts for Valentine's day which is a week from today!

Happy Valentine's Day Everyone!

Halloween Box Cards

 Here is the last of my Halloween cards. These are shadow box cards which fold flat to mail.  It is also the last of the Echo Park "Happy Halloween" paper collection.  I pretty much used all of it with all the Halloween cards and treat cards I made!  Love the colors in this collection!  The tutorial for this type of card is below. Give it a try it is fun to make!!

Here is a picture of the inside of both of these cards with a little Halloween joke to put a smile on your face.

Another Halloween type is a screen card which I think is a type of accordion card.  There is no right side of the card because I decorated both sides of this screen card. These type of cards are fun to decorate - check out the pictures below.

Birthday Wipers

March has been a busy month with birthdays, of course, retirement, and a new baby!  So I have been busy in my craftroom which is not a chore at all!  Love it all!  This is a Wiper card which I saw on Pinterest.  This card is for a friend's birthday and her favorite movie is the Wizard of Oz.  I used the paper from SU with the hot air balloons!  The pop up are hot air balloons which I purchased from Memory box.  It was perfect to coordinate with this card.

Just pull the tab on the left and it pop ups!

Added a flap for more room!

Here is a great tutorial for a wiper card.  You will be amazed at how easy this card is to make.

Another with red wording

The pop of for this card are balloons but you can use whatever you want.  I want to try one with flowers and maybe someone peaking out from above.  How cute would that be?? Not done with this type of card for sure.  Thanks for checking my blog out!

Crazy birds are too much fun!

Happy New Year 2017

These 2 Thank you cards are for my daughter and son who made out Christmas and our Anniversary special!  They took us to dinner for our Anniversary and Christmas was wonderful spending time with them and family.  My sister, Andrea had the big family Christmas and she did a great job.  I got this stamp set/bundle from Stampin up for Christmas and love them!!  The penquin and the snowmen are adorable!  The trees in the background are from Elizabeth Craft and the big snowflakes are a sizziz die. I love the cute little scarf, tie and ear muffs for the penquins and they snowmen.

Love the sentiment that is included in the stamp set.  It says, "there's snow place like home"! The background behind the penquin is a snowflake cuttlebug EF.  

I have been busy this week cleaning up and out my craftroom.  I got a few things for Christmas so a realized I had to go through my stuff and see what I haven't used in a long time and decided it was time to get rid of stuff.  Believe it or not, I love organizing so it was actually fun to do! I'll have to post some pictures of my craftroom once I get it the way I want it.  This is my first card of the year and again this is a great bundle from Stampin up!!  Happy 2017!

New Year's Eve Fun!

Twin Rose Birthday

Last week I bought this Elizabeth Craft rose die and I love it!!  So beautiful.  I needed to make a card with this die immediately.  The picture doesn't do the colors justice but the roses are a light pink and deeper pink background with a silver glitter outline.  The rose at the top for the stopper is Tim Holtz ceramic pink rose that I inked pink.  Love the way this upright Z fold stands up.  The paper is from My Mind's eye which is a diagonal gray/pink combo and pink rose/gray background, very pretty! Can't go wrong with gray/pink and green!!  I haven't decorated the inside yet because I am not sure who I am going to send this card but I will.  Check out the pictures below of this card and I added a picture of Elizabeth Craft rose die in the package to find it easier.  Just love it!  I see myself using this die a lot!!  Thanks for stopping by!

Closer look at the overlay roses!

Upright Z fold!

Added some glitter to the back too!

Gorgeous!
