My Vote Makes a Difference

A dear friend has been volunteering by attending meetings and writing post cards and letters to get out the vote. When I saw The Gray Muse pin "My Vote Makes A Difference" I knew I had to send it to her.

The Gray Muse backer card is washi taped to the inside.

I thought she could use a set of cards to send to some new friends in the group she's been meeting with.

The sentiments are from The Stamping Village "We Stand With You". I also stamped the MLK quote on envelope seals.

Really enjoyed this project!

Above It All Tri-fold

The Stampin' Up! Above It All dies made a fun gondola! I saw this card by Tami White and thought it would be great to case. 

Just mailed this card to a friend who had hip replacement surgery, and was able to enjoy the slopes this past skiing season.

Sandwiched acetate between two layers of the gondola for a fun touch. Be sure to draw those cable lines before embossing (ask me how I know, lol!). Did double and partial embossing with two different embossing folders (technique featured in the recent Extraordinary Embossing Online Card Class).

Valentine Swivel Card

 Another card inspired by Jennifer McGuire! See her swivel card tutorial here.

The Neat & Tangled Floral Heart (one of my faves) just barely fit on the Momenta heart die. It required a bit of shaving on the bits that stuck out. Had a pretty piece of foiled patterned paper with a bit of blank space for the fabulous Picket Fence I Freaking Love You stamp.

Happy Valentine's Day!

Divinity Designs Tri-shutter

I was the lucky winner of a $25 gift from Divinity Designs from the Coffee Lovers Fall/Winter blog hop! I used it toward a Tri-shutter with Layers die. I've made tri-shutter cards without dies before, but wanted this die set because the dies for the sections were included. Not just one die for each sized panel, but dies for every single panel!

This is what I ordered. The card base die is 6" across, just barely fit in the Big Shot, but it did work. Kelly was kind and sent a gift with purchase freebie, which is the most adorable tea cup and tea bag set of dies. The papers I used are also from Divinity Designs, Latte Love (from my stash). The papers are vibrant, just love them. Looking forward to using the Rainbow Sherbet paper for unicorn cards!

Thank you to Kelley and Divinity Designs for being a super sponsor of the Coffee Lovers blog hops!

See you next time,

Winter Wonderland on the Winter Mug

We are all excited about the Fall/Winter Coffee Lovers Blog Hop! 

Today's card makes me happy. I finally played with the Pretty Pink Posh Winter Mug dies! Paired the mug with some patterned paper in my stash and topped it with the so adorable polar bear from Winter Wonderland. The sparkly snowflakes are Pretty Pink Posh too! Linked up at #273. #fallwinter2023clh

Hope you are able to join in by posting a card, or giving some love to your faves!

Thanks for the visit!

Super Cute Laundry

Having fun with another Jungle Littles card with a diecut onesie and bib from MFT.

This is a LARGE card, 5-1/2 x 7-1/2. Played with a slimline format, but couldn't get the laundry and cute critters arranged the way I had them in my head.

My sister requested a baby shower card when she saw Zane's birthday card made with the Jungle Littles. What a happy coincidence, the shower theme is jungle! I knew right away I wanted to use the MFT sentiment from Oh, Baby. So much fun when it all comes together, and always an honor when a card is requested.

What to stamp on the inside of such a large card! Luckily I have a large congratulations stamp:

Stamps: Hello Bluebird Jungle Littles, Hello Bluebird Word Buddies Jungle (bird), MFT Oh, Baby, Rubber Stampede Congratulations (wood mount)

Dies: MFT It's A Baby, Hello Bluebird Grassy Knoll, Hello Bluebird Jungle Littles, Hello Bluebird Word Buddies Jungle

Marilyn Monroe Boxed set

My husband's former co-worker asked him if I still made cards. She said she had some washi tape and supplies she wanted to give me. Yay! So kind of her to think of me. I remembered she's a big fan of Marilyn Monroe so I made her a set of cards (I believe she's more into scrapbooking than card making) for him to give her when they met for lunch. I made the box with the same pink patterned cardstock.

It's Woodblock Wednesday!!! Linking up here! Link party ends September 4th at 5pm Pacific. The stamps are from A Country Welcome, Sweet Home, Oregon 2003. #Woodblockwednesday #woodblockstamps

So hubby gave her the cards, and he brought a huge box home! Oh  my gosh, the 13x15x7 box was packed full of washi tape, ribbon, stickers, journal/ATC cards, ephemera, notebooks, and more. The box just fits in my recliner!

How gorgeous is this box! Crafty friends are the best. Thank you, Barb B!
