Paper Pumpkin

 Another card made with the Winter woods October 2019 kit. For these I cut the card bases in half and decided to make them shaker cards as I remember I had bought the A2 rectangle shaker pouches by MFT well I didn't buy the die so was bit tedious as having like 4-5 different rectangle dies none fit the opening of the pouch. For the shaker bits I used MS Crystal fine glitter and rocaille beads by Darice. My first try was using Kat Scrappiness double stitched rectangle to make the frame to sitting on top but wasn't too happy with that. For this card I used Stampa Rosa thank you stamp with Danube blue dew drop ink stamped a few time so it was dark enough

 for the next try I cut my frame with Cindy Echtinaw Designs Card Creator Perfect Layers A and then started cutting off until it fit on the pouch was a bit of a pain but liked it better. For this I used a lovely day paper pumpkin set February 2020 with the same Danube blue dew drop ink stamped a few time so it was dark enough

Paper Pumpkin

Since we got snow recently I'm still in the mood to work on winter cards so I got to play with my past Winter woods October 2019 kit for these cards I used some more of the blue snowflakes paper by Paper Pizazz/Hot of the Press, shimmery white die cut from kit and printed bird die cut also from kit. Decided not to add a message so they can be used for anything as I can just put the message on the inside or donate if I want

Happy Birthday

 Working on milestone birthday cards in winter I also made them slimline for this I blue snowflakes & swirls paper by Paper Pizazz/Hot of the Press the happy birthday circle frame was cut 4 layers times I think. Used shimmering blue stars dimensional stickers by Sticko EK Success and the whimsy alphabet by Spellbinders

Happy Anniversary

I had to make some anniversary cards and well we are in winter and I seem to be making slimline cards so these were the cards I made. I used blue snowflakes paper by Paper Pizazz/Hot of the Press, the happy anniversary frame I die cut a few times for dimension  

then I decided I would make it more personal by adding the years they were celebrating by die cutting out of the u/l/n/p whimsy Spellbinders set then cover with Spectrum Noir sparkle Crystal clear glitter brush and glossy accents

Tropical background

Back when we were going out I attended an event at Impress in Tukwila and they were demoing this cool stencil with the Make Art STAY-tion by Wendy Vecchi and I love mine so easy to use stencils without any adhesives just magnets anyway I love anything that is beachy so had to get it it's by PPP I used distress oxide ink picked raspberry with Life changing blender brush then cut my layer with stitched rectangle die by The Stamps of Life, added some Nuvo Crystal drops rhubarb crumble, for the first card I used my free thanks die by by Taylored Expressions

for this card I used a die I got at Amazon, wanted a bigger die but that was all I could find in quick fast delivery

and for this last one I used thank you card die by Little B, big bold you set by Winnie & Walter for the word for, Thank you for set by Anna Griffin all with Memento tuxedo black ink

Random Act of Kindness

My city had in the calendar that last Wednesday the 17 was Random Act of Kindness day so figured it was the perfect day to give another card to the heroes my city since I didn't have any stamp that was not for a friend or a loved one for Valentine's Day so these are the cards I made for the Police Department and also a for the UPS guy that is awesome and the USPS mail delivery which is new and not so great as the one we had for over 10 years which retired but hopefully they new people will get better in time like Debbie 😀

I stamped winter wishes image from the set by Altenew with amalgam ink whisper then with my Altenew ergonomic brush added weathered wood on the snow and stormy sky & iced spruce on the sky then sprinkle some shimmer sparkle then stamped again my image with VersaFine Clair nocturne. Cut my layers with Card Creator A & B. Stamped the words with with VersaFine Clair nocturne The top is from the same Altenew set winter wishes. The thanks for your service is from SU's service & sacrifice set

the thanks is from you are my anchor paper pumpkin April 2018, the mail carrier is from postal heroes by Altenew I just masked part of the message since Debbie wasn't getting the card

There is no UPS set out there at least I have not found one so I wrote the UPS

all cards on the inside had the same message which was from the set thinking of you by the Stamping Village

Happy 70th

One of my stamping friends, Linda, is turning 70th today and this is the card I mailed her. I used blue snowflakes & swirls paper by Paper Pizazz/Hot of the Press, balloon shaker die by PPP, silver baker's twine by SU used some glue to keep the twine like I wanted, and micro beads from my stash. I was going to put 70 but forgot before adding the twine
