Valentines

Here are two cards I made for Valentines Day. The first one I made for my husband, based on this awesome tutorial by Beates. I basically copied her whole design, just used different papers. Thank you Beates! It was really fun to make. The hardest part was keeping the panels square! The second card I made for my daughter. I hand cut the hearts, used a hearts stamp with white ink on the transparency for the window. I used Spellbinder fleur de lis frame. Turned out really pretty. Hope you have a great day!

Long time no see!

Hello there. I'm not sure if anyone will see this, because I have not been active in blog land in such a looong time! I have had a busy year! We moved (same city), my husband had back surgery, I did some traveling (in the US) etc. I HAVE made some things, but I just haven't posted stuff. So, anyway. . . Here's some pictures of things I've done during the past year.
I used NBA Team Dimensional Stickers on this first card. I made it for my neice Sally, who loves the Lakers! It's the first "pop-up" type of card I've ever made. The basketball is a "slider" which goes in and out of the hoop.

Next is a get well card I made for my neice, Sunny. I made a rosette (here's a tutorial) with a Martha Stewart edged punch, a big Favorite Findings button, some vellum, scalloped Spellbinder shapes, and some old lace that belonged to my husband's grandmother. I also used Tim Holtz distressed ink Dried Marigold for inking edges.

Here is another get well card I made for a little girl, Elizabeth, who had to have brain surgery. I stitched the wavey edge of the card with embroideray floss and I used several fun embellishments.

A Get Well Card for my son's wonderful teacher, Liz:

Next is a tri-fold, or shutter card I made for my good friend Gloria for Thanksgiving. Here is a tutorial for it on You-tube.
Using a Spellbinder die, I made a little "plaque" for her based on I Timothy 4:7. It is removeable; not secured into place. A fun card to make.

And here's the first Hanukkah card I've ever made. It was for my cousin, Denise, in San Jose. The iris folding pattern is from Circle of Crafters website, and the menorah is a pattern I got from Silvia at Crafts U Print. I used a craft knife to cut the patterns out. I used origami foil paper for the folds. I used a paper punch for the flames to the Menorrah on the inside of the card.

The next one was for my friend, Sonya's baptism. I used a little iris folding kit from Dedra's

The next post is a project I did for my grandson, Tanner.
Thanks for looking and Happy Crafting!
