Happy Birthday Tanner

It’s Monday and that means it’ time for a masculine card. For today’s post, I’m using a digital image and it’s for my grandson, Tanner’s, birthday. He’s going to be 27 years old – I can’t believe how fast time flies. And, of course, I had to get into my favorite stash of paper for masculine cards! The DSP I used for the background is called Plaid Tidings 6″ x… Read More »

Prized Peony

For today’s post, I am showcasing the Prized Peony Stamp Set. The friendship-based greetings will convey your warm wishes. This is a Distinktive stamp set that has a special texture that gives added depth and dimension in a single step, creating photo-realistic images. This is such a gorgeous stamp set and I know that my friend, Becky, will love it just as much as I do. The flower image was… Read More »

Masculine Monday – Itty Bitty Birthdays

It’s Monday and it’s time for a masculine card. I paired the retiring Itty Bitty Birthdays Stamp Set with the retiring True Love Designer Series Paper. Surprise, surprise! Did you know there are bold patterns in this DSP? They are perfect for the quick and easy masculine card. I used the sentiment from the Itty Bitty Stamp Set – so true for the recipient of this card. He was awesome… Read More »

A Yellow Cardinal? Wait, what?

Fun fact: “There’s only about 10 or 12 yellow cardinals in the eastern U.S. and eastern Canada in any given year compared to 50 million or more red cardinals. Though yellow cardinals have been spotted in several states, including Alabama, Florida, Ohio and Pennsylvania, the probability of you spotting one is 1 in a million! I wanted to use the Toile Christmas Stamp Set one more time before it retired but… Read More »

Forever Blossoms

The background is from the retired Brights 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper and the greeting is from the Itty Bitty Birthdays Stamp Set. I used the Layering Ovals Dies to make the template for… Read More »

Happy Birthday Sydney

Today’s card is for my granddaughter, Sydney, who is at college in California. They grow up so fast! I’m using a non-SU stamp set but the card stock and inks are Stampin’ Up!. My two oldest granddaughters are in their early 20’s and love the Angie’s Girls stamps from another company. Thanks for stopping by today – have a great rest of the week. Colors Used To Make This Card… Read More »

Heartland

Today is my son, Louie’s, birthday. He would have been 55 years old – he died in 1995. After we moved to Arkansas, he enjoyed his frequent visits here and said he would come and live here to be near me. When Stampin’ Up! came up with the image of the little farm boy in the Heartland Stamp Set, I knew I would buy this set and always keep it.… Read More »

Happy Birthday David!

Today’s card features a card for my grandson David’s birthday. He is turning 21 years old! It’s not an SU image but I did use SU products on it. For my close relatives I always try and use an image that means something to them. If SU doesn’t carry something I can use, I find it elsewhere. In this case, David’s first car was Navy Blue Mustang. He totaled it… Read More »

Happy Birthday Troy

Today’s card is for my grandson, Troy. He is not a sailor but Ventura is right at the ocean in California so I thought the sailor theme would be appropriate. When they are young (over 18 but under 30), you just don’t know what they really like! I used the Come Sail Away Designer Series Paper for the banner and background panel. The banner was generated using the retired Thank… Read More »
