Birthday Celebration - CTS #302

Howdy!  Did everyone make it through the holidays with minimal stress and LOTS of good food and family?  I hope so!!  We had some good times and awesome food here.

I wanted to pop in with a card, that I'll be sending over to CTS #302 because I see that it loosely represents the sketch - gotta love when that happens!  This is a masculine Birthday card, and was given to its recipient already, so I'm feeling good about sharing it.  Take a look-see...

This came together pretty quickly as it is mostly paper and die cuts, but I love that the flecks in the speckledy paper matches the other colors very well.  Like I said, quick together, but a handmade card nonetheless!

Thanks for popping in, and I'll be seeing you around!

Hugs,

MFT Christmas Tags

I recently purchase the MFT Fold Up Tag die and wanted to use it for my holiday tags.  I was only able to make a few, but I will post to let you see.  Once again, my infamous "screenshot" cut off the person who gave me the inspiration...  And I promise this is my last Christmas post!

 And a little close-up that hopefully shows some shine.  I used a glitter paper for all the ornaments, which were die cut AFTER applying double-sided sticky paper...  SUCH a big help on an intricate die!

These were used for the gifts I took to work, so similar yet in different papers and colors.  

Thanks for your visit, you've made my day!

Merry Christmas Menagerie...

Well I've been so late in getting my cards together, that once again the ones that had to go a distance will undoubtedly be late -- so sorry...  Christmas is such a time for joy, wonder, blessings, food and family -- I hope that each of you got to enjoy your Christmas with all the blessings indeed!

While I made a few cards, each with a variation of the original, I will post them all together.  I also wish that I could give credit for the idea but my "screenshot" of the original square card cuts off who the recipient of that gratitude should go to!  Bummer!  Must come up with a different plan to save the pics I see....  Some of the cards will have inlaid die cuts while others will have the die popped up, but all are backdropped by a sploosh of inks in various colors.  I must apologize for the pictures because in my haste, I did not notice that the stamped sentiments look horrible!  Truly, they are better IRL.  So here we go...

            

     

     

     

Churches, stars, poinsettias, bulbs and snowflakes... oh my!

I hope your holidays were truly blessed and that your day was full of love, peace and joy!  Thank you, Friends, from the bottom of my heart!

Perfectly Paisley Birthday

Just popping in for a quick post to celebrate a Birthday for my sweet Hubbs!  It's his day, a day to enjoy the family, rest a bit from the world of "retirement" and enjoy life.  Love him so much...  So let's get onto the card so you can get back to your day!

This card came together pretty quickly, I knew that I wanted to pop up the upper portion of the sentiment and use some metallic, so I just had to fight the perfect dp to match my idea.

 Here's a close-up of the "height" and some of that precious shine  :o)

I hope to be seeing each of your wonderful creations very soon.  Thanks for taking your time out to pop in and see me!

Hugs,

Time to Heal

Howdy, Friends!

Popping in yet again to post another card, made in my absenteeism here on the blog.  I see that it fits in with MFT Sketch #412 and Color Throwdown #520, so I'll send it over that way, and play along since it's been so long since I've really posted much, let alone play!

This card was sent a bit ago to someone who broke his ankle, so I felt he needed a bit of cheer.  I also packed with a few things to help him stay occupied during his recovery.  I hope it helped!  Onto the card...

As you can see, I tipped my version but alas the sketch is still there.  Unfortunately though I have a MFT "window" Blueprint type die, I didn't use it  this time but I will enter anyway...  And don't the colors match up great with CTD?  Love when that happens (not very often in my world)!  I hope you pop over and see all the great cards in both places!  

And again, thanks for taking your time to spend a few minutes with me...

ETA:  Bummer!  I missed CTD....
