QKD Man of the Year

I gave this card to my division chief at work because he’s been in the job for little more than a year and has truly transformed the division. Have you ever met someone and sort of gotten to know him/her, and realized this his/her nature completely endears him/her to you? We “get” each other, it’s uncanny. [...]

A Bit on the Silly Side…

Oh I did have so much fun making this card for my work spouse!! For those more sensitive to off-color words, I blurred out one on this card (think another word for mule). The paper was given to me, and unfortunately I don’t know the manufacturer. The tag is Making Memories, the cardstock is Bazzill [...]

BearyBox Card Challenge 18

This is a card that I made for my cousin based on a wonderful sketch on Joey’s ever-inspiring BearyBox blog. The bling papers are Bazzill, the yummy glitter papers are from the Sweet Stack, I sewed the Sweet Stack papers with copper thread, there are numerous Kaiser chocolate pearls on the cupcake paper, and I used several [...]

Happy Birthday via BearyBox and Tenia

Just a few days ago I checked out the BearyBox Card Sketch #16 and immediately got an idea for a card. Then yesterday I found out that jazzy Tenia has a blog on which she hosts challenges, and the current challenge is to create a card with colors from Soulive’s next album. Well, the card [...]

15-minute Card in about 4 (maybe 5) Steps

Here’s how you can make an adequate birthday card for a 6-year-old girl in 15 minutes or less, using stuff you already have on hand.

Grab your DCWV Pocket Full of Posies 4.5″x6.5″ matstack, which you bought over a year ago and just HAD to have because some of the papers are glittered but you haven’t [...]

Whimsical Birthday

This is quite a whimsical card that I made for a friend of mine whom I’ve known since I was but a wee girl back in Paonia (pay-OWN-yuh), Colorado! I sewed some extremely wonderful, shimmery KI Memories Surprise patterned paper embellished with some Stickles, matted with Bazzill Bling, Prima flowers embellished with K&Company and Creative Imaginations [...]

PG-13 if not R-rated Card for Tina

If you look closely, this belated birthday card for Tina has an “uh-oh” word on it, but I think it’s hilarious and might get a laugh out of her!! Inside it says “Better late than nasty, I always say!” I used papers from the Pet Stack and from Rusty Pickle, some Paper Studio flowers, some [...]

Cindi’s Birthday Card

This is a card I made for my fed boss at work. I used papers from the Sweet Stack, along with some bling (of course), Nestabilities Labels 2 and Bazzill Bling, a tiny piece of vellum to mute a little piece of the Sweet Stack glitter paper, a couple Prima flowers, some ribbon from Joann’s [...]

Happy Birthday ‘Billy’ Card

My good friend and mentor TinaH sent me some stamped Billy images, for which I will forever be grateful because he’s so stinkin’ cute, and I used him and some overalls and tools to make this card. Oh, and let’s not forget his toy train and tool chest, made shiny with Glossy Accents.  The ‘carpet’ [...]

Birthday Card for my Sister

The multi-colored polka dots paper is from American Crafts, the purple/white polka dots paper is from the Nana’s Kids [...]
