Twist & Pop card and “Seven Teas for your 70’s”
Another fun card to make and receive! I was inspired by Joy Tracy’s tutorial.  This card was for a milestone birthday (70th) so I included a gift of…  seven different teas… for her 70’s.  I made the box with my Cricut and have made two others.  One was “Nine Teas for your 90’s” and the other one was [...]

Box Cards Part Two – BUTTERFLIES!!!
Several months ago, I showed you the first batch of box cards I made.  Box cards are greeting cards that fold flat for mailing, but open up to be multi dimensional.  Since I had such good luck with the first batch, I tried making another, more complex box card & here’s how they turned out.  Although I recorded this video over a mon [...]

Box cards using SVGCuts files – Part 1
I have made most of our greeting cards, since 1996.  I’d been wanting to try making box cards (cards that fold flat for mailing, but pop up for a 3D card) but figured they would be very time consuming & difficult to make.  NOT TRUE!!!  I found these cards not only easy to make, brilliant in design & have a big wow factor!  I us [...]

Nifty Fifties Birthday Card
  This is a birthday card for my sister.  The plaid card base is digital paper from Carina Gardner.  The font on the front & all the cuts are from the Cricut Nifty Fifties cartridge.  The font on the inside is Old 54 Regular.  My sister, who was a teenager in the ’50’s really, really liked it.

Laughing Lola birthday card & blog hop!!!
So I needed to make something for my very first blog hop!  The CTMH (Close To My Heart) Obsessed Scrappers blog hop included the challenge to select a sketch from one of two sites & use it as the inspiration.  I chose sketch #95. There are several cards I need to make, but I didn’t want it to be a card for someone who might see it o [...]

20th Anniversary card
A good friend & her husband recently celebrated their 20th wedding anniversary. The photo above doesn’t do the front of the card justice because you can’t see the shimmery paper, embossing or glitter paper. So below is a scan that shows those details. However, you still don’t get the look & feel of the shiny, gol [...]

More Pet Sympathy Cards (Sophia, Vinnie & Ben)
Last year, I had several friends who lost their dogs. I had not made a pet sympathy card in many years. I really like the Cricut Paper Pups cartridge, so I used it to make variations of this card for them. The verse on the front reads: “They are your friend, your companion, your guardian. They live for you, love you and will follow you [...]

For Katchie…
A couple of months ago, my neighbor had to put down the dog she’s had for 17 years. I only knew Katchie for a couple of years, but I can certainly relate to the heartache when you have to let them go. This one is for Miss Katchie… The dog was cut on my Cricut Explore & is from Nate’s ABCs cartridge & the glitte [...]
