Sleigh pop up

Exclusive:  Sleigh pop up card

I'll be working on Christmas cards all year to fill Marsha's (my sister) order.  She keeps coming up with new ideas of cards to make.  I told her I'm not "Hallmark", but I try harder!

Exclusive: Tree with hanging roots

Can you stand one more "hanging" file??    Found this while cleaning off my craft table, and I know I didn't share it yet.

Spider web hanging card

Exclusive:  Spider Web hanging card

Here's another of my hanging off the page type cards. It'll work for Halloween, but with a "catchy" phrase it will work for other occasions too.


And here's the card to show it's not just for Halloween!

Snowflake hugs

I just made this card yesterday, and got it in the mail by noon so it could reach my BFF and ever Amen (4 blocks away)!!!

I used an assortment of snowflakes that I collected, some I made, and I drew a quick spiral in Inkscape to cut from acrylic.  I covered all the snowflakes with stickles to make them glitter, but it doesn't show very well in this picture.

Picking Flower Card

Exclusive:  Picking Flower Card

This one just went out to (who else?) my sister Marsha.  Another "hanging off page type of card".  I also changed the wording to "friends" and sent this off to my friend Pam.  Hopefully she'll have it before I publish this post.

Bite Me Squeeze Box

Exclusive Bite Me Squeeze Box

This came from a long standing "joke" with my sister so I had to make these to send her for Valentine's Day.  Changing the colors, it will also work for Halloween.

Lighthouse1 stencil scene


Exclusive:  Lighthouse1 Stencil Scene card

I'm getting to use some of my glitter papers on these cards.  This was another request from my sister.  She always has lots of ideas for me to work on.  Just wish the PO could get them to her a little faster.  I tried asking for "yesterday" service, but they laughed at me!

Parachute card

Exclusive:  Parachute card

Had to make another fun card to send my sister, so I did another "hanging off page" one.  These are my favorite cards right now.



Here is how one of my blog followers, Myrna used this file for her card:  Thanks for sharing this with me Myrna.  It's great to see how someone else uses my files.  Hope your grandson gets a kick out of it.

Heart mailbox

Exclusive Heart Mailbox

There are several templates out there for a mailbox that is like one at your home, but I searched and searched to find one that looks like the corner mailbox.  HP Creative Studio had one, so I had a good starting place for making mine.  I changed things to suit the way I wanted it to look..... lots of trial and error, but I think it finally came out pretty good.

Heart Basket

I had this file in my stash since last year.  I tried to find the designer's blog, but I didn't have any luck.  I got her file from a post on the Craft Edge forum and her id is:   gj1  but it doesn't look like the file is there any longer.  So all thanks go to gj1 for sharing this file.

I made up a bunch of these to pass out for Valentine's Day.  Mostly they go to the gals at the Dog Spa where our dog goes for water therapy.  Or to the receptionists/nurse at the doc, eye doc, dentist, if we have an appointment around the holiday.  Or to any visitors that stop by.  Or to the bank teller.  I may need to cut out some more, as the list gets longer!!!!
