Need a quick masculine birthday card? Got one for you today. It’s from my last Card Buffet.
What do you think –
I’ve seen a few cards similar to this using one of the Paper Pumpkin kits. I just sort of copied it. It’s hard to photograph, but there is Silver Foil behind the Pacific Point star border.
Whip this up in no time!

December 2nd. This month will fly by……..Guess it’s time to start sharing Christmas card ideas, right?
A while back I was designing cards for my Christmas Card Class. I designed lots of cards that I decided not to use. They are terrific ideas, but at the time I just decided on other cards.
This was one I was on the fence about until right at the end –
I just loved this card and the colors. Not likely Christmas colors, Smokey Slate and Blackberry Bliss. As you can see they really work well together. I love to design around the unexpected.
Quite a simple card to make, it has just a few steps.
Have I inspired you to play with your punch or create something unexpected?

Need a last-minute idea for a Halloween card but have nothing Halloween? Well, if you have the Word Bubble Framelits (on sale, weekly deals) then look what you can do –
Aren’t these just the cutest?
I made these in a flash in a couple different oranges, then just embossed them. The leaves are from Itty Bitty Accents Punch Pack. Love them!!
And, just had to share this too –
Cats and cards. It’s the puuuurfect combo!!
Be safe and have a H A P P Y H A L L O W E E N ! ! !

What a fun card I have to share today.
I had seen this color challenge at Just Add Ink. I kept going back to it. Finally decided to play along with it. Here are the colors –
Nice, soft colors, right? I liked them a lot. I liked several of the inspiration cards too.
I was trying to think how to use the colors until I saw this sketch at Creative Challenge Club. Nice and clean.
I had an idea in mind.
It involved the Confetti Stars Punch. I went to work. My idea was to have a fuller area of punched stars rather than just a border. I cut a strip of card stock that was 2 1/4 inches wide. I punched along one side then rotated my card stock to punch the other side. And, you can see, it looks just like it was meant to be!
In order to keep up with the sketch, I made that nice full ‘star’ sheet a half circle.
See my take on the two sketches –
I love it! It’s fun. It’s happy. It ‘celebrates’ visually.
I will definitely try this all over star technique again.
