Cards & A Fun Project!

My first card for the new year. My niece had her first baby at the beginning of January, a Baby Boy! Here is an accordian screen card with pictures for her Welcome Baby card! The paper collection is from Echo Park. He is so adorable!
Today is a good friend from high school's birthday! This is my first Double Panel Step card. This card opens like a vertically. Love how it folds up and mails easily in an envelope. I used the Fairie Wings paper collection from Graphic 45 for the card. Happy Birthday Betti! I put the sentiment on the back where there is plenty of room for it. Here is the tutorial for it.
Here is the second Double panel step birthday card that I made which is for a student of my husband's who happens to have her birthday on the same day as my husband and she has given him a birthday every year since she has been at the elementary school that Mark worked. She is such a sweetheart and now she has a family of her own. This card opens like a book style. The tradition continues...
Lastly just wanted to show a project that I made for my bay window. It has been a crazy January in the Northeast with warming temperatures and terrible destruction on the coast and now it is cold, cold cold! We just had 4 inches of snow. I am happy that we had snow instead of rain! This is making me think of spring and summer! A floral beachy arrangment to make you think spring and summer! Thanks for checking in!!

Birthday Beach Chair

This is a perfect card for a high school friend's birthday next week. She posts pictures of the beach every week! It is her "happy" place! This is the sizzix pop up chair die but I cut slits to make it an adirondack chair! Just added some waves using a border punch and some Elizabeth Craft dies such as beach ball, sand pail with shovel. I used punches from Martha Stewart and Dies from sizzix for the shells. The paper collection is Graphic 45's By The Sea. I have been making doggie mattress pads for my daughter's puppy. He stays with us when she is working so he has 2 homes and needs 2 pads for each crate in his 2 homes. What a lucky dog to have 2 homes!! Here is one of the pads that I made. I love the fabric! There were so many prints to choose but these 2 made it.
Here is a picture of Oliver but we call him Ollie! He is 6 months old and weights about 60 lbs. He is going to be a big boy!
Here is Lindsey and Ollie at the Beach!

2021 January Birthday

Back in my craftroom and making cards for friends and family because January is a big month for birthdays. Love making these cube cards and I decided to make this one for a friend who loves the beach. She never gets a beach card from me because of her January birthday. I always feel it should be a winter card. So I decided to change it up a little. Graphic 45 Ocean Blue paper collection continues to be a favorite of mine so I used it for her card. I hope I didn't go overboard with the fishes and shells. I will need to use a big envelope because this card measures 6x7.
Happy Birthday Betti! Happy 2021!

Back of the card for the sentiment
I made this birthday card for a good friend who's birthday is Saturday and she turns 65!  I have a lot of friends turning 65 this year including me!!  Anna loves the beach so how appropriate is this for  her.  I used lots of dies and punches for this card. The stamps I used is from Stampin up, love their octopus!   Happy Birthday Anna!
