Grandparents Day Cards

Happy Sunday and Happy Grandparents Day to all of the grandparents reading this!  I created these cards based on the September 2021 SheetLoad Of Cards sketch from Call Me Crafty Al.

I kept the cards simple, mainly just using patterned papers from Echo Park's Coffee 6x6 paper pad.  I used ribbon, punches, computer generated sentiments, and GMD Strawberry Shorcake enamel dots.  Adhesives used include ATG, Bearly Art precision glue, and Scotch foam tape.

These two deviated a bit from the original sketch, but I really wanted to use that background paper and some of the small images in the paper pad for the coffee lovers!

I hope you have a wonderfully crafty day!

Tool Birthday Card

Good morning! I created this fairly quick card that is perfect for any handyman you know.

The stamps are from the retired Raisin Boat Handy Man and Nailed It! stamp sets.  They were stamped in VersaFine Onyx Black ink onto a kraft cardstock base and detailed with white gel pen.  The patterned papers are from DCWV's Industrial Chic stack.  The banners were cut with ECD diagonal stitched banner dies.  The last two products used were Bearly Art Glue and silver brads.  I think this made a great masculine birthday card!

I hope you have a wonderfully crafty day!

Trendy Bakers Twine~Hello Card

Hello all!  Today I am on the Trendy Twine blog with a card that features our twist of the month, Nautical Trendy Twine.

For this card, I started with small pieces of Graphic 45's Home Sweet Home papers, layered them with blue cardstock and arranged them how I thought they would look nice on the card.  For the front cardstock piece, I wrapped Nautical Trendy Twine around it several times and tied it in a knot.  That panel is popped up with foam tape.  To the top of that panel, I added a double layer of a hello die cut and also a die cut of Pink and Main's lacy border die.  A sentiment strip using a stamp from APB Friendship Stamps and Midnight Blue Scrapbook.com ink was glued down and I used Bearly Art precision glue to add a single line of Nautical Trendy Twine below that.  The final embellishment was Sunny Yellow Pearl Pen dots.

Here's what I used from Annie's Paper Boutique:

Boy Birthday SheetLoad Of Cards

Hello all!  I am back with a SheetLoad of Cards!  I always seem to be inspired by Call Me Crafty Al's monthly sketches and I took the opportunity to make a set of boy cards this time around.

The supply list for these cards is pretty short.  The main item featured is the amazing Boy paper pad from The Paper Studio!  I cannot express how giddy I was to find this paper at Hobby Lobby a couple months ago!  As a mom of 3 boys (and several nephews) I know these papers will be well used and loved.  The SheetLoad sketch I followed was the September 2021 sketch.  It makes 8 cards total.  

I simply fussy cut the images from the paper for the focal point and created the sentiments on my computer.  The only embellishment I used was Sunny Yellow Pearl Pen dots.  Adhesives used include ATG, foam tape, and Bearly Art glue.  As a last note, check out that holographic foil treatment on the patterned paper, SO COOL!  

I hope you have a wonderfully crafty day!
