May 2025

Hi everyone! It’s been so long since I posted I hope I haven’t forgotten how! It’s been a busy Spring! It’s time to get back to work though!

My two cards today are part of the May release from Spellbinders. So much potential with these sets for all the men’s occasions we make for!

Die cutting and a little stamping is all for this one! On the inside I stamped “Have a wheel-y great day!”

A2 size. I loved the green color of this cardstock but neither my phone or my Nikon could capture it right! It’s much better in hand! Sun is bright this week I guess! The top and bottom strips and center are silver mirror cardstock.

My next card uses the NEW Timeless Truck!

These colors aren’t right either but oh well! lol Use colors you like is all I can say!

Here I used the NEW stencil set, Scenic Drive, for the background… I love stenciling like this!

Then die cutting and gluing the truck together. I love that it’s so easy to tell where the parts go!

Then a little stamping again with the NEW Cruisin’ By Sentiments. It comes with the dies too! I stamped on the inside too. Forgot to take a picture… “Thought you could use a little pick up”.

I made this a square card but it would be easy to change to an A2, A6 or A7 size to mail with one stamp.

Comment or email if you have any questions!

Thank you so much for stopping by to see my cards!

Hello! I know… long time no see! I’m still here! My card today is using products from the last two Simon Says Stamp releases. You Are My Favorite and Rain or Shine. It turned out so fun!

A 5 ½ inch square card.

I heat embossed the NEW Wavy Background with Clear embossing powder, then ink blended the panel with Distress and Oxide inks to make it look like water.

Birthday and Get Whale sentiments in this cute Get Whale Soon stamp set.

I stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento ink on Hammermill cardstock. I don’t have the die set so I used my Scan n Cut. Then I colored with Copic Sketch Markers. I forgot to add white gel pen accents though! I think that would make it the little bit extra! oops!

I used the thin mounting tape that I love to adhere the images to the card panel. The little bubbles are glued directly to the panel.

Lots of pictures! The color is more saturated in real life.

Such cute images! Whales with personality, sure to cheer for any occasion!

I hope this finds you enjoying Spring and all the pretty flowers. I have hanging baskets on the back porch and ferns on the front porch but we haven’t had much sun yet. I have some hydrangea bushes that the buds always get frozen off over the Winter or something so they have to start over from the ground up. ugh. We’ll have lots of buds by the time it freezes again in the Fall! Crazy!

Check out the new releases! I’ll link below.

We’re getting ready for a wedding in two weeks! eek! So fun! Our oldest granddaughter is getting married! I love the shoes I bought to wear! lol

I’ll be posting a wedding card I hope! I’ll show the tag I made for her shower then too!

take care and ttul!
