More Under the Weather Cards

Hello!  I am still getting used to the new computer and then I had to change my email app.  Long story short, I have more photos and hope to add them soon.  This week I had fun tinkering with this fun set.  I hope to work on my virtual club cards for next month soon.  I realize that many businesses are opening up soon but I don't feel comfortable starting the clubs back up.  Hopefully we will know more within the next month.  If you are a club member be sure to give me a shout if you have a specific request for a card type or style.  In April one lady requested all masculine club cards so that was a fun challenge.

Happy stamping!

Under the Weather Cards

I had so much fun whipping these cards out with the instructions given.  I adore the striped envelopes!  So many ladies online had fun using the stripes as background paper for additional cards but I just pulled out a paper stack instead.  This was my therapy when my co-workers annoyed me!  LOL! I am trying not to go nuts with all of the constructive advice coming my way.  Time to meditate or make cards!  (-:

March 2020 Under the Weather Paper Pumpkin

March brought a fun stamp set to my mailbox!  I am having so much fun tinkering with this set.  Check out my posts this week to see, first the "suggested" cards, and then the "extras".  I have been sitting down every day and playing with the stamp sets.  Yes, they sent TWO stamp sets in this box.  Once I made the cards with SU directions I have had fun browsing the internet for optional cards.  The bling included is usually generous so I have plenty of string and adhesives to make extra cards.

Happy stamping in quarantine!

Valentine Cards from Julie

Is there ever a day when it is not appropriate to say, "I love you!"?  I know that these are Valentine's Day cards but I thought it would be appropriate for this crazy time in which we live.

Lovely Lily Pad Cards Remake

The first two cards are my original club cards.  I was just super lazy when finishing up the leftover cards.  LOL!  I do have fun remaking the card leftover kits from club; after making so many of them it is fun to add a different spin on the card.  I love this Lily Pad bundle of dies and stamps!  It was a freebie during Sale-a-bration during the January through March promotion.

February 2020 I'll Bee Yours Cards

I love the Paper Pumpkin boxes!  How cool is it to walk out to the mailbox and find a happy box waiting for you amidst the bills and junk mail.  This project was intended to be smaller Valentines so I mounted the envelopes onto card fronts.  I changed the sentiment to "Let's Bee Friends".  I want to be able to mail these cards year round...because I missed Valentine's Day.   I just don't use many V Day cards, to be truthful.  The stamp set was a great one and super cute. 

Happy stamping!

My card projects

I am ashamed to say that I have quite the stack of projects ready to be cleared away.  I had fun working on a Paper Pumpkin kit instead of clearing up a past project.  I love the Pumpkin kits!  They come with a great little ink cube, directions, accessories (rhinestones, ribbon, adhesive), paper and more!  Your first order will even come with a block that will word for all future Paper Pumpkin boxes! In these crazy times it is nice to have a little box of sunshine arrive in the mail.  Try it out for a month and cancel at any time!

In the meantime I will continue to turn my Valentine cards into Thinking of You cards!  I will post my remake cards soon.

Happy stamping!
