Deer Friend

Both of these cards were made with Gina K products - the stamps, dies and background stencils. The deer and the owl are popped up. The background frames are the last two that I have from AGES ago. 

Thanks so much for stopping by, and I hope you'll come back and visit again soon!

Sending Loving Wishes

Another card I made on my retreat. (They'll keep coming for a while!) The flower wreath stamp and sentiment were the free incentive set from Gina K. I bought the coordinating die set to bump my total up enough to receive it. Because this was done on my retreat and I hadn't brought any Copics, I colored it with Prismacolor pencils. For this card, though, I didn't use Gamsol - just colored darkly and filled in all the spots. Both the wreath and the sentiment are popped up.

Thanks so much for stopping by, and I hope you'll come back and visit again soon!

Thinking of You

Another "demonstration" piece from my retreat. I showed how to use a die. I just cut it out of the black, then figured out how to use it. The sentiment is from Gina K.

Thanks so much for stopping by, and I hope you'll come back and visit again soon!

Birdie Birthday

When I was at the retreat, I was asked about some of my tools. These two pieces were made for demonstration purposes, but of course I had to use them! The embossing folder is from Altenew. The sentiments are from Gina K. I embossed this first one in white.

I decided to post every other day, instead of every day (when I have cards to share.) It will spread them out longer, in case I don't have time to make more. :-)

Thanks so much for stopping by, and I hope you'll come back and visit again soon!

Kids' Birthday

I made these cards for my friend, Cheryl, to donate to the thrift store she volunteers at - and makes tons of cards for! The stamps are from Penny Black and I used assorted patterned papers for them. 

Thanks so much for stopping by, and I hope you'll come back and visit again soon!

Sunny Days

I made this card on my retreat, but colored it after I came home so that I could use my Copic markers. The flip-flops and hat are mounted on foam squares. The stamps are all from one set from Gina K's newest kit. (The colors look much better together in person!)

Thanks so much for stopping by, and I hope you'll come back and visit again soon!

July Calendar Page

My calendar page for July. I used my Cameo Silhouette to cut out the design elements and added some patterned paper for the background. Happy July!
