Meowy Christmas Card

Good day and Merry Christmas! It's just the hubby and I at home today and since he was taking a nap, I decided to make this Meowy Christmas Card. Since I went back to work, it's been harder to find time to make cards. This year I didn't have enough handmade Christmas cards to send everyone on my list, so I sent everyone boxed cards. The few I made this year will hang out in my stash until next year. 

This Meowy Christmas Card was made using the From The Cat stamp set by Graciellie Designs available at Unity Stamps. I colored the cat to look like Chester, we rescued him in October. He is such a handful!  So sweet when he is sleeping, but a crazy cat when he is awake. The patterned papers are from the Let It Snow paper pad by Doodlebug Designs (2021). Three layered snowflakes were added for detail and that's it. So glad you stopped by and I wish you a very Merry Christmas!🎅

Christmas Card with Santa

Hello! At the beginning of this year I planned on making two handmade Christmas Cards each month. Well, that didn't happen. I didn't even make one Christmas Card a month. Needless to say... not everyone on my card list is getting a handmade card this year. Thankfully, I purchased the Ho Ho Ho Paper Pumpkin kit in October and this Christmas Card with Santa is a modified design from the kit. I added the strip of gingham paper and used a piece of retired Baked Brown Sugar cardstock behind the die cut background. Everything else is from the kit. As always, I adhered everything flat for easy shipping and that's it. Thanks for stopping by and enjoy the rest of your day!🎅

Birthday Card with Horse

Good day! It's been awhile since I've posted one of my handmade cards. Life is just busy right now. Our 12 year old senior cat that we rescued last year got Pancreatitis, so I have been busy making sure he is eating and gets his medication. Through his diagnosis process we found he has a tumor next to his heart in one of his lungs. This news has me really upset! He has my heart and I want him with me as long as possible. So, if you believe in prayer, please say a healing prayer for Tommy.

This Birthday Card with Horse was made for a co-worker who had a birthday last week. She loves horses and I love cats, so I used the Hanna The Horse stamp set by Technique Tuesday to make this card. I'm entering this card into the Critter Crazy Challenge (Anything Goes Featuring a Critter). Thanks for stopping by and enjoy the rest of your day!

Indian Corn Give Thanks Card

Hello! A couple of years ago I saw a beautiful fall card using an Indian Corn image. It took me awhile to remember what company made the image but I finally found it by Divinity Designs. The stamp set is called A-MAIZE-ING. I colored the image with Copic markers and then used the coordinating die to cut it out. A mix of patterned papers were used and some deckle dies by Hello Bluebird. A few gold sequins to finish it off and everything was adhered flat for easy shipping. That's it! Thanks for stopping by and enjoy the rest of your day.

Christmas/Winter at Craft Rocket

Good day crafty friends! Again this month I'm a guest designer at the Craft Rocket Challenge and the theme is Christmas/Winter. We would love for you to join the challenge and share one of your creations. The challenge runs until November 27th at 12 pm (UK time).🎄

To create my card I used an image by Pink & Main from the Homespun Christmas stamp set. It was colored with Copic markers and then die cut with the coordinating die. Then it was layered on top of patterned paper layers that were die cut with the Frames and Flags die set by Newton's Nook. Everything was adhered flat and that's it. So glad you stopped by and I hope you enjoy the rest of your day.

Pet Sympathy Cards

Hello! Last month I started a part time job, so my crafting time is more limited than usual. It had been three years since my last job, and I didn't realize how difficult the transition would be. My cats aren't sure what has happened, but thankfully they are only home one day by themselves. 

Recently, I needed a cat sympathy card for a friend who suddenly lost one of her cats. I did a image search and found a card on Pinterest that inspired these designs. It was sad, but two weeks after I made the cat card one of my hubby's coworkers had a dog pass away. So, I made a dog sympathy card using the same design. I used different cloud paper, because I couldn't decide which one I liked better. The cat and dog silhouettes were made using punches by Stampin' Up! and the cloud borders were cut with a Lawn Fawn die. Everything was adhered flat and that's it. Thanks for stopping by and enjoy the rest of your day!

Pumpkin Night Halloween Card

Happy Monday! Each day we get closer to Halloween and I still need to make a few cards. So, for this Pumpkin Night Halloween Card I used an image by Stampendous! and colored it with Copic markers. The papers are from an older Pebbles paper pad called Trick or Treat (2016). Some glossy accents were added to the eyes and the sentiment is from a retired Stampin' Up! set called Spooky Treats. Everything was adhered flat for easy shipping and that's it. Thanks for stopping by and enjoy the rest of your day!🎃
