valent and to showcase makes for the design teams i was on since then i ve been making cards for all of the holidays and special occasions and giving them to their recipients without photos being taken for posterity a bummer i know here is what i did manage to take photos of birthday wishes birthday wishes was made for my youngest grandson who when asked what he wants for christmas his birthday or any other special occasion consistently replies rainbow birthday cake the birthday candles are by pretty pink posh the frosting is grassy knoll by hello bluebird and then we have line it up birthday by papertrey ink christmas biscornu this is my first biscornu and i love how this turned out the pattern is christmas biscornu by erin elizabeth designs and is stitched on 30 count portobello linen by studio line i stitched this with my own overdyed floss i m telling ya the photos do not do this justice stitched graduation cap my sister received her master s degree this year and for the ceremony her daughter decorated her graduation cap with flowers that and my love of stitching were the inspiration for this card that opens up with a surprise to get the party started all of the dies for this project are by poshta design the felt is benzie design and the floss is dmc including the tassel the pattern paper on the inside is by american crafts stitched birthday cake this june my mother in law turned 93 and we went to arizona to celebrate with lots of family silly me didn t take a picture of the inside of this card that i decorated up almost as much as the outside i feel so honored that her and dad display every card that i give them and never take them down all of the stamps and dies are by papertrey ink including border bling lotty dotty in stitches cake builder and this is big sentiments birthday mother s day needle minder i was inspired by nichol spohr to make this project as a gift to my mom and did the front cover almost identical to hers only i used the three hearts instead of the xoxo in the lower right hand corner i also chose a different color pallet and granny stitched the edges of the covers instead of straight stitched i did change up the inside and added some extras i use a lot of needles for each stitching project i do i don t want to waste time changing thread colors so i preload as many needles as i have color changes and therefore added six needle holders to this book here i ve left the center of the book white and without embellishment because i wanted to be able to store and then easily pick out any larger scraps of floss i might be able to use from a previous project i really wanted a place to keep my little scissors and the label from eerie apothecary worked out really well all dies are from poshta design with the exception of letter l which is by lawn fawn including sewing kit essentials needle book eerie apothecary love potion details basic heart and floral heart details felt is benzie design happy birthday pops icle this was a bit of a last minute make as i remembered dad s birthday at the last moment and even had to fedex this for him to get it on time every time i greet my dad i have to do a little add on like daddy o pop tart rad dad pop corn so this is what he got for his birthday i didn t use any dies or stamps for this one i did the sentiments on the computer hand drew the popsicles inked them and then lined them with a gelly roll pen easter egg and dish towel set i wanted some easter decor for my refrigerator and made these eggs to match my dish towels the egg shapes are poshta s basic egg die and the three eggs at the top are embellished using their egg detail dies for the lower egg i used various dies by hello bluebird an 80th celebration another great celebration to make a card for the 80 is cut from an old sizzix die and everything else is by the greetery including pinwheel party dies stamps stencils and twisted crepe dies christmas cards 2024 i love to make christmas cards i usually start in august so that it isn t so daunting but i m a little behind this year this one with all of it s little pieces and sparkly paper is one of my all time favorites i love the colors especially with that pop of gold sort of shabby chic i made 50 of these and used up pretty much all of the 4 months i gave myself to make them this year i want to break up the monotony of a single card design and make them all different i don t know which will be more difficult the structure and tedium of the assembly line or what i imagine to be the chaos of 50 completely different

some effort into a card i thought i would participate in a couple of blog challenges to get the creative juices flowing again this one was challenging for several reasons including not wanting to stick to the foam i have it mounted on using my tried and true tape runner so i decided to use gel glue to hold things in place and that changed the colors of the inks on my stitched panel and ornaments which i then had to go back and touch up i m still relatively happy with how it turned out i started by stenciling and then stitching the taylored expressions beautiful baubles i poked the stitching holes with a needle trying to mimic the spacing of my background die this set did not originally come with matching dies so i fussy cut them along with the little hanger toppers that i heat embossed and then finished off with jump rings and baker s twine next i ran my a2 white panel trough my die cut machine with the papertrey ink cover plate stitched florals die i then inked my background stitched with 2 strands of dmc floss and then spattered with water and bleed proof white the vellum banner was stamped with versamark and heat embossed with black powder the lower left bauble and panel are bumped up on foam and mounted to coordinating background paper from my stash i would like to enter this card into the following challenges build your stash holiday cardmaker group

my dear friends arthur and donna s 40th i m very much out of practice making cards much less coming up with ideas for them and so i decided to case a card made by someone who s beautiful creations speak to my imagination like no other s i m using what i have on hand though so really the only thing that s similar is the flower arrangement firstly i cut turquoise cardstock using the pti border bling blooming hearts large die used my corner rounder and then sponged a light layer of picket fence distress ink right at the cut design next i cut a small panel of white cardstock to fit within the dotted design of the diecut i then stenciled vertical stripes using salty ocean distress ink and pti s watercolor plaid stencils the sentiment is an old wooden hampton art stamp the florals were made by cutting watercolor paper with pti s into the blooms dahlia birthday bouquet and sizzix branch w leaves sponged with mowed lawn peeled paint twisted citron mustard seed and wild honey distress inks all were spattered with water and vintage photo di lastly i mounted my card front to a 4 25 x 5 50 inch card base added a button and bow using pti s festive birds dies and then some yellow sequins for
