Day 335

This card was made using the Quikutz vine lable embossing folder. I used white textured paper and printed the With Smpathy. I then cut it to size and embossed it. There are hearts on the embossed part, it would make a nice wedding card with the couples name in the label area.

Day 334

This is a top fold card that I made. When I first got my scallop files I cut a hundred or so scalloped ovals and then did a cut and print on ovals using Happy Birthday and With Symapathy. I was so thrilled with the ability to do it that I went overboard and will have scalloped ovals for years to come. :O)
We have had rain the past week or so and should have warm weather at the end of the week. The garden is doing so well. In WI we talk about the corn being knee high by the fourth of July. This year it was knee high by the 4th of June in some areas.

Day 333

This is the same embossing folder that I used yesterday, just different words. My mom is 86 and seems to go through Sympathy cards like water so I am working on another batch for her.                         Update on the barn/garage. The steel came for the barn so hopefully next week it will be applied to the building. We have a contractor to do the roof. It is 20 feet tall and I really don't want my husband climbing up that high carrying things. I will post pictures when there is something to show!

Day 332

So here is card #3 that I made for my niece Katie who graduated from high school this week. I ordered some new embossing folders and they finally arrived, this is one of them. It is the Cuttlebug Scrollwork folder. I measured the card to determine word placement and then used Microsoft Word to make the Congrats Katie. I printed it, trimmed it to size, and embossed it.

Day 331

Such a fun card! This is the butterfly card from My Scrap Chick. I used a double sided paper which always make it easier for me to coordinate the  colors. The butterflies were cut from a sparkly card stock and I used small gems for their bodies. The Happy Birthday is cut from vinyl.

Day 330

This card was pretty simple. I used a cuttlebug border folder for the strip across the card. The Happy Birthday was computer generated and I just cut a rectangle and rounded the corners.

Day 329

This card was made using a Martha Stewart border punch and a My Scrap Chick flower file. I initially was just going to use the border punch but it looked too plain so I added the flower. The stem is ribbon.
