Happy Birthday Scott

My nephew plays football and basketball and probably golf too.  His birthday was at the end of January but I am just posting the card that I sent him.  The card did arrive on time, just not on the blog. 

Another New Nephew

Our niece Heather recently had her second baby boy.  His name is Mason and this is the card that I sent to her.  The window, smoke, and wheels are punches but the rest was free hand cuts.

Snow Card Didn't Work

Earlier I posted a snow day card I sent to my brother.  Usually when I send one within a week he has a day off school for a snow day.  I didn't work.  So on his Valentine I put snow flakes and trees with snow on them.  It still didn't work.  So I have one more that I may send him and then I am giving up for this year.  It is called a telescoping card because of the way it opens.

Happy Anniversary

When my husband saw this card in the Stampin Up magazine, he asked me to make one like it so he could see what it looked like IRL.  So I made two of them.

Today is our 35th anniversary, so this card is for him.  Of course I don't write anything in it because then I can use it again for another occasion.  I can't believe that it has been 35 years since we traveled to Las Vegas to get married.

February 14 is Here

Happy Valentine's Day.  Two different valentines, one non-traditional colors.  I found both of the ideas on my favorite website, splitcoaststampers.

Today would have been my great-grandmother's about 137th birthday. 

Punched Valentines

These two cards have a lot of punching and not much stamping.  The card on the left is made with the doily Sizzlet and the heart embosslits.  They are new to the Stampin Up selection of tools.  The originals are on Splitcoast.

I do change a few things when I use a card for ideas.  As an example the punch angel of the original had different designer paper as a background, the dress and wings were embossed, and it used a different stamp set.

Some More Valentines

I  sure made a lot of Valentines this year.  There were so many nice ones posted on Splitcoast that I wanted to try them all.  I didn't but I have a lot saved to try next year.  Of course next year there will also be others that I want to make too.  Good thing we have a lot of brothers and sisters.  I can't find the paper where I wrote down who did the original on these.  I do remember that Gretchen Baron did the one on the far right.

Love Bug

I had never used this die before I loaned it to my niece to use along with the bee.  I saw a card with heart flowers and two lady bugs on splitcoast and this is my interpretation of it.  I didn't put a greeting so it can be used for many different occasions.

Our Wedding Month

I have seen these cards on splitcoast and decided it was time to make one.  I tried different variations of the paper on the card.  If you look at the groom you should be able to see the different ways that I made him.  My husband and I have an anniversay coming up later this month.  It isn't one of those big ones, but still a lot of years.  Thanks to Lynn Pratt for the pattern for the dress.

Valentine Month is Here

These valentines look so nice IRL and they are quick and easy to make.  They were inspired by a lady who goes by lisaadd on splitcoast.
