Anniversary card

This is an Anniversary card I made for friends of mine.

The front of the card was made using a die that came with my new Gemini machine.  I was surprised at how well this intricate die cut in my new machine.  If I used my old machine I would have to run it through many times. 

The inside of the card was made using a stamp from Stampendous.  My husband colored the flowers for me.  I cut the flowers out with the matching die, and used Glossy accents on the vase.  I ran (what I guess is supposed to be a doily on the bottom of the vase) Through an embossing folder.  

I added a verse to the inside of the card.  It turned out so nice with the verse but I forgot to take a pic of it before I put the card in the mail.

Thank you for visiting my blog today...

Twisted sister FEB challenge

Hopefully, I put in the right link on how I made the above card.

This card was done for a challenge at the Twisted Sister group at Splitcoast Stampers.  Ina issues us this challenge.

I used some very old Stampin' Up paper that had been a favorite of mine.  I like the colors and the pink roses on the paper.  I've been hanging on to some of my stuff for way too long.

I will add a sentiment on the front when I mail the card.

Thank you for stopping by my blot today.

My Sisters cards

 My sister was finally able to come and make cards with me...

She liked all the sample cards that I made for her to choose from.  Her favorite was obviously the single rose card.  She gave me permission to post her cards.  I think she did a great job making her cards.  Keep in mind that this is someone that I have tried to get to come and make cards with me for a long time.  She told me she wouldn't be able to do it.  Wrong!  I think she did a great job on both cards.

The first card she colored with copics...

And the second card was made using a stampendous stamp!  It's for her granddaughter's 13the birthday.  I think I now have her hooked on card making.  She's already talking about coming next month to make a card for her daughter's birthday.

So much more fun when you have someone to make cards with you.  In fact my next door neighbor came over too to make a card.  

Hope everyone has a great week.

and thank you for stopping by my blog.

Another sample card

 This is another sample card I had made to show my sister as a sample to see what card she wanted to make for her friend.

The problem is because of her busy schedule and me getting sick...we've had to cancel a couple of times.  Oh well, if it's too late for her to make her card.  I do have some cards to add to my stash.

I made this center fold card using flowers from one of my magazines.  (I've been putting them to good use).

I used a stamp set from Simply Cards and Papercraft..  Issue 191.

I colored my flowers with copics and cut out an oval die using a die from Die-namics  Oval open scallop doily.  Added a ribbon.

Thank you for visiting my blog today.

I will be back later today to enter some of the wonderful kind comets I received from my last post.   Thank you!

Yellow and purple

 These are some cards I made a few weeks ago.  The images and background papers are from one of my magazines ."Debbi Moore Paper crafting Magazine". I like the pretty images but the problem is when I purchased the magazine... I didn't realize how many things have to be fussy cut!  I actually like to fussy cut.  (I think it reminds me of my childhood) But it's just too hard on my shoulder these days.

Thank you for visiting my blog...

My neighbor's card

 This is a card I helped my neighbor to make for her husband's birthday.

She gave me permission to post her card.   It was made with a new stamp set I purchased.  (Stampendous)

Their two doggies (which I'm crazy about too...are like their children)  (I'm sure many of you can relate to that)

Tomorrow I hope to be able to finally sit down again and make some more of my own cards.

I am just so thankful that I can even type again.  More info than you might want to know....

Hubby had to take me to the ER because of the pain in my right arm.  (I could not even lift my arm without having a great deal of pain).  I tried typing on my blog, etc. with my left hand...and it was really slow going.

The good news for me is, obviously, since I am typing this... It means that my arm is doing so better.  Thanks to pain pills and an injection.

Now I need to catch up with my commenting again.

Thanks so much for stopping by my blog
