Inspirational Gift Cards




Inspiration and encouragement is needed by all! These cards are meant to do just that. Check out these awesome free scripture digital stamps/images by Dee's Bugaboo Boutique. These are part of the Ruby Tuesday Scripture Freebies.

This card satchel was made using the Scor-pal. Their website has many projects and this card satchel is one of them. Easy, peasy. And this double-sided K and Co. cardstock along with the beautiful scriptures makes for a really pretty card (or home decor item).

I made several sets of these as gifts. I wish I had made a set for myself!

Have a great day. Thanks for stopping by!

A Card for Peachy Keen Challenge #52 Featuring Action Wooble




This simple but LIVELY card created for Peachy Keen Sketch Challenge #52 was made using:

Hero arts stamp
Action Wooble to make the card lively as you can see from the photo
BoNash No Mess glitter and foil
Copic markers
blue and white cardstock
patterned paper - unknown

I just love how the Action Wooble makes any image move. It's especially fun to use for animal die cuts but as you can see, can be used for anything. It really adds so much fun and dimension to any card or project.

A Retirement Album Using the Cricut Imagine





To make this 5x7 inch album I used:
Cricut Imagine Country Carnival cartridge
Gypsy Font
Cricut French Manor cartridge - clock
K & Co. cardstock
Martha Stewart photo corner punch
Fiskars edge punch
Your Story Personal Photobinding machine and binder
I-Rock with gold bling on cover

In this retirement celebration photo album, I spelled out the word 'retirement' with a capital letter on each page (upper case letters from the Imagine cartridge). To each of those capital letters I added other letters to spell out another word that describes retirement. Then on the opposite pages I added photo corners so pictures could be added. I used several icons from the Imagine cartridge - I thought they came out so beautiful. One of those is on the cover with alittle bling added. In addition, I made die cuts from a few other cartridges to decorate the pages. The colors from the Imagine cartridge went together so well with the K & Co. cardstock.

This was a fun book to make especially thinking about the wonderful changes that have come about for our very hard working friend!
