Birthday Stepper Card

Camping

Perfect sentiment

 My son's birthday is next week and he is a guy who loves the outdoors especially camping!  These dies from Karen Burniston camping dies were perfect for his card.  The bear die is from Marianne Designs and the bears on the "Happy Birthday to you" sentiment are from Stampin up.  The cute fox on the back of the card is from Karen Burniston also.  I haven't made one of these stepper cards in a very long while, in fact, I think this fold was one of the first fold that I did after a trishutter fold.  This card was easy to pop in an envelope and mail. Happy Birthday Eric!! Your father and I love you!!

Eric is the anchor!

MFT Polar Bears

Loving these Polar bears from MFT's!  Here are the front of the cards that I made for my Christmas Cards this year.  The inside of the cards are scenic pop ups!  Love how the Polar bears are waving "Merry Christmas"!  They finally have all been sent and now just doing the last minute things like cooking and stocking stuffers!  I can't believe Christmas is only 1 week away from today!

Snowbanks sparkle!

September Celebrations!

Marianne Designs' Squirrel

Flag Birthday Card

September has become a big month for celebrations!  Anniversaries and birthdays galore!!  This card is for a friend.  I had to use Marianne Creations squirrel die which I think is so cute and appropriate because this summer and fall, we have been overrun with them.  This is a fun card to make and I used JustRite Stamps that I haven't used in a while.

Graphic 45's Fairie Dust paper collection is so beautiful and I had to use it for another friend's birthday which was at the end of September!  Love this type of pop up card!  Doesn't everyone love fairies, unicorns and magic!! 

Love this stamp set from Stampin up and it was great for an anniversary card, so I made 2!  My brother, Hal and Charlotte and my sister, Connie and Russ had Anniversaries in September.  I made the same card but different colors!  Pretty, pretty, pretty!!!

Follow Your Dreams!

I just purchased Marianne Designs Unicorn/Horse die and it is so adorable!!  It is perfect with the Graphic 45 Fairie Dust paper collection that I used for this card in a box birthday card for a friend's granddaughter.  I guess unicorns are all the rage now and this is perfect for her.  The rainbow and clouds are dies from Stampin up.

March Birthdays!

For Debbie

For Julie

I have been working on a couple of birthday cards for friends who have birthdays this month.  The first one is with a SU stamp set called Party Pandas, pictured on the left.  This is  a 4-panel twisted pop up card with these cute pandas.  I also had the panda from Marianne Designs and used it inside the card. I got the idea from Pinterest where I saw a similar card--just adorable!  The card on the right is a Card in a box card with Graphic 45 French Country paper collection.  It is so beautiful!! The flowers are from Die-namics.  Pictures below show the card closed up and ready for mailing. Happy Birthday Debbie & Julie!!

I am happy to report that I am back in my craftroom and using my right arm more and more.  It has been 5 weeks since my shoulder surgery and I finally get my sling off  this Friday!! Yay!  Now just have to do my PT exercises and I'll be good as new!  Thank you to friends and family, especially my husband who has been doing the housework and cooking, for your support and well wishes.
