 Abagail is an adorable stamp from Eat Cake Graphics. When I saw her I knew I wanted to use her for a Mother’s Day card. What little kid doesn’t remember baking or cooking something for their moms? And this cute stamp can be used for many occasions...

 My daughter turned 25yrs old last week...yes...it's true! It's hard to believe that a quarter of a century has gone by. So, I wanted to share with you the lovely 25th birthday card I made for her to commemorate this grand day! She was born on the first day of Spring, it was 70 degree's that day and snowing 10 days later. Twenty five years later it's the same weather. It was warm and sunny last week and snowing today. That's Spring in Colorado!
See below for tutorial...  My twin boys just turned 12yrs old. Where does the time go? Next year I will have three teenage boys under one roof. Help me now! LOL
I always make two cards, as they're two different people, so they get their own card. Sometimes their cards are different and sometimes they are the same design. This year they are into Minecraft video games, so I decided to make them both Minecraft cards. It's hard to find masculine cards, but Pinterest (click link for ideas) has made it easier to find ideas. You can search for anything, sort, and save your favorites. I punched a bunch of black squares, cut some in half, and made a couple rectangles to create this design. They loved them and I hope you do too! Stay warm and cozy wherever you are, as we're in for more snow. ~Kim Supplies: American Crafts cardstock Colorbox white ink Diamond plate embossing folder Square punch  My mother-in-law's birthday is on Oct 31st and she loves all things Halloween. This year's card I wanted to incorporate a patch work type pumpkin I've been seeing all over social media. When you use pattern papers together in similar color families, or theme, they coordinate nicely. As I did with orange and black...
 My craft club decided to help a fellow craft friend out and make cards for our US soldiers stationed in Hawaii. I am proud to say we made over 300 cards for our US soldiers and their families to say "thank you" for your service and sacrifices...see more below...
 Spider man card: I used the a spider web dry embossing folder. Inked up a brayer with black ink and rolled it over the web. I die cutted two hearts to make the eyes. One heart on black cardstock at 3 1/2" and the other heart on white cardstock at 3" and cut them in half. I wanted to add some glitter, but my husband didn't think boys cards needed to have bling. LOL...I think a little on the web would have been cool, but I think it turned out pretty good.  Captain America card:
I used the star dry embossing folder for the background. Then I used the spellbinders circle frame set to get all the layers correct. The shield looks a little wonky or not centered because I made it 3D with foam pop dots between the circles and it wouldn't scan evenly. But it is evenly spaced in person and turned out pretty well. |
