Another Gift Card Holder

 I made another Gift card holder.  This time I used my Peony Garden Designer paper and Dies to make this card.  

When I posted my Gift card/ holder yesteray...I meant to also post a picture of the inside but I forgot to do that.  So I am posting the inside of my card today...

The instructions to make this are in my previous post.

Purple birthday card for Carol

 I made this card for Carol,  of   "Our Little Inspirations" blog...for her birthday.

(You can see the link to her blog on my side bar)

She didn't receive it yet, so she will see it here first.  Sorry, Carol, that  it did NOT make it to the mailbox yet.  Since It's already late for your birthday...I decided to post it here first.  

I've been under the weather and didn't even feel like going out to mail it.  (feel a bit better now)

Hope your birthday was very special.  (just like you!)

Thank you for stopping by my blog today

I'm still trying to use my new Stampin Up goodies.  

I know that this card seems a bit strange, a flower in the front and a tree  that looks like it has snow.  I showed to my hubby and he said,  "Well, sometimes we get a late snow when flowers are blooming..."   Ok, I'll take that as my story...for this card.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today...

Keep safe,

Sympathy card

I made the above card for one of my neighbors who recently lost her mother.

Today would have been my Mother's birthday...It's been 10 years since I lost her...

so ...while I was making this card I felt a little teary eyed for my neighbor,  and also for remembering what today was...

Sorry, I was trying to think of a way to make this post a bit more cheery...but I kind of failed.

I do feel a bit better lately that I am back making cards again.

It has definitely helped my morale  (ecept today...smile)

At least it was NOT another opressive hot day today.  I was definitely thankful for that.  I actually sat out in my favorite reading place (My back porch)  Reading while wearing a sweater.  A nice cool breeze was blowing.

My card was made using the Prized Peony designer paper, and die from Elizabeth craft, andSpellbinders (Gilded Gate)

Thank you for visiting my blog today,

Hope you have a great weekend.

This makes the third prized peony card I have made.  And yes, another one that had been colored with copics by my hubby.  He has actually, so far, colored 7 images for me.  So I have a few more to go.  And as you can see, it has definitely inspired me to get back to card making again.

This one was colored with copic colors R29, R39, G46, and YG0000.

I used my A2 curved matting dies to die cut my background.  I used an embossing folder to give it some texture. Stampin up Fancy Fan,

Prized Peony in Yellow

Yes, Another card made with my Prized Peony goodies.  I told you there would be more.  

I can't take too much credit for this card.  I made the card base, and stamped the flower.  My hubby colored the flower, colored the background with copics, and also used wink of stella on the bottom of the card where the lace is.

As I said before, He loves to color  using copics...but I also think he's bored since we don't go out too much these days.  But it makes me happy that he is helping me with the coloring....I've been able to get more cards done that way.

Thank you for visiting my blog today...
Hope you have a great weekend!

Prized Peony

Since so many of the stores that I used to shop out have closed...I decided to treat myself to a Stampin Up order.  I really like the Prized Peony stamp set.  So I purchased the stamp set, matching paper, and the matching dies and ribbon.  So You might see a lot of cards being posted here using those materals.

My hubby colored the flower for me with copics.  I used the sentiment that came with the set, and heat embossed it. 

So far, I don't think I've had a problems with the new blogger yet.  When I logged into my blog the new format came up and I changed it back to the old one.  I know that it will automaticly change soon and I will have to use the new format.  Not looking forward to that...I'm not good with changes.
