Let's celebrate anniversarys!

Happy Hump Day!

Can you believe tomorrow is February already?  Let's hope the rest of the winter flys by as quickly as the last couple of months so we can get back to warm weather & pack away our coats & boots for another year! 

I'm actually sharing 3 different anniversary cards today.  Yup!  Overload for sure!! But I was determined to finish up before February and this was the only way.  Promise I won't do this again!

This first card was done with a Penny Johnson Stampavie stamp called Bubbly Bears.  I matted them with a couple of  Memory Box Stitched Scalloped Circles dies.



These next two cards were done with a Whipper Snapper stamp called Yin & Yang.  I thought they would be perfect for an anniversary card.  They have such sweet faces & look like they are in love.
The card on the left was matted with Lawn Fawn Stitched Oval Stackables and the card at the right was matted with Lawn Fawn Stitched Square Stackables.  The corner dies were from a Cherry Lynn Lace Corner Deco B die set.  There are 3 dies in this set & all of them are beautiful! 


Yay!!!!!  I'm caught up now so I can begin working on my Valentines!  Thanks for staying with me through all of this!

Another "Two-fer"

Hello, again!

As you can tell, I'm trying to get all my extra stash posted before February so I can finally concentrate on Valentine cards!  So you will have to bear with me today & tomorrow.


This first weddding card was done with a die I usually reserve for Valentines, but decided would be the perfect backdrop for this swan heart.  I used Poppy Stamps Heart Lattice Background behind the Frantic Stamper Swans in Love Heart.  What a perfect card for a wedding!





I loved this card! There was just something about it with the beautiful frame and that lovely cake that appealed to me!  The frame is a Memory Box Fairytale Flower Frame (and a favorite) and the cake is a Die-versions Wedding Cake die.  Together they created a really sweet wedding card.




Back tomorrow with the last of my multiple postings!  Hurray!!!

Baby Blocks!

Happy Monday!

May your week be awesome &  full of blessings!  Each day is a gift and we should enjoy them all to the fullest measure!

Today I'm sharing two sweet birthday cards made with a new die and an old favorite.  The new die is a Frantic Stamper Baby Square and the old one is my favorite square die...Joy Craft Square. I have used this one so many times I truly can't believe it still cuts as well as it does! But it never, ever lets me down and always makes a beautiful card!


I made one in pink & one in blue.

I'll be back tomorrow with two wedding cards!

Wedding Gazebo

Hi, friends!

Here are two more wedding cards made with the following dies: Lifestyle Nesting Doily Rectangles, Die-Versions Garden Gazebo & Die Namites  Wedding Canopy.


I've always loved this gazebo.  All my life I wanted one!  And how thankful I am that I moved to Lincoln because I now have a beautiful one just outside my front windows!  I don't know of a more beautiful view anywhere!  There is a beautiful woods just behind the gazebo & just below that is a huge pond that is always filled with Canadian geese.  I've seen deer, fox, and more critters than I can count.  Yet, I'm only a block away from one of the main streets & close to all kinds of shopping & restaurants.  I've truly been blessed!

Back tomorrow with a couple of  baby cards.

QKR Stampede Challenge-Anything Goes

Hello, again!

Time for our weekly QKR Stampede challenge! Where did the week go?  I wanted a card to add to my "guy" cards stash.  So when I saw this Digi# 20405-Fish & Basket, I knew it would be perfect for a guy card!



When I saw this digi, I knew exactly which dies I would pull out to go with it! Cheery Lynn Fishing Boat Set and Die-Namites Cattails dies came to the rescue! Dies always make even the cutest image look even better!

Back tomorrow!

Hugs,
Sherri

Triple Play Baby Cards!

Hello, again!

As promised, I am going to overload you today with 3 different baby cards.  I have been having so much fun making these & wish I had a reason to send one!

The first card is a stork.  I used a long classic scalloped rectangles die (Spellbinders, I think), the Taylored Expressions Block Party-Baby die, & the Impression Obsession Stork die.




Card number two was done with the Spellbinder Long Rectangle, the baby die and Cheery Lynn Choo Choo dies.  Perfect for a little boy!





The last of these is actually my favorite! I used an Amy Design Clothesline die with the baby cutout and matted it with the Spellbinder Long Rectangle. I grabbed my favorite corner punch for a more feminine look.



I'll switch gears tomorrow & we will do wedding cards.

Hugs,
Sherri

Baby Buggy fun!

Hi, gals!

And happy hump day! I have some fun baby cards to share today! I've been trying to create more baby, wedding & anniversary cards to replenish my stash.  Here are the first of them.


I love gingham for baby cards! It was a no brainer to grab some pink & blue for these cards. I also used the Spellbinders Elegant Ovals, Marianne Designs Baby Buggy and Taylored Expressions Block Party-Baby dies.  A quick bow to finish & they were done.

Since I'm trying to finish up all these cards before February, I will be sharing 3 of them tomorrow. I want February to be all about Valentine's Day!

A double batch of cuteness!

Hello, friends!

You all know how I adore Stamping Bella stamps....what can I say, they had another Tuesday sale a while back & this little trio just jumped into my cart!  It comes with several sentiments and I used one of them to make it into a birthday card and made the other into a Christmas card. 


The snowflakes were made with Lawn Fawn Stitched Snowflakes.  I love that set! They are nice, sturdy snowflakes & gorgeous to boot!

Christmas Fun!

Hello!

Are you ready for a card that will have you smiling?  This is a Sassy Cheryl's digi and you can tell both kids are having the time of their lives building this happy snowman!  He looks pretty happy as well.  I used a Sue Wilson Noble Collection -Ornate Pierced Squares die to cut this out and trimmed the corners of my card to follow the largest die. 


One more day of winter cards & then I promise we will switch to something else!

Hugs,
Sherri
