I Love You This Much

May 15, 2020 · 4 Comments

Did you see my Wednesday post?

Well, this is the other part of the two-part share.

I really liked this sketch over at CAS Colours & Sketches –

It caught my eye when I designed the other card. So, I have a similar card to share today –

Soo sweet! I started with fussy cutting a dinosaur from the Dinoroar Designer Series Paper. Yes, there are coordinating dies –sometimes scissors are just as easy.

I think this sentiment is sweet during these current times. It’s easily forgotten to tell others how much we love them!

I Love You This Much

May 13, 2020 · 8 Comments

Hello my friends!

I have a quick two-part share. The other part will be on Friday.

I was looking through my sketches to find something that caught my eye. Two did.

The first one is from Tuesday Morning Sketches –

I love this clean simpleness of this sketch.

I decided to play with beloved retiring products for this –

I started with fussy cutting the cute dinosaur already colored and ready to go from the Dinoroar Designer Series Paper. Yes, there are coordinating dies, but this is just as easy. There are two whole sheets dedicated to images to use with dies!

I then found just the right pattern of paper to go with the little cutie.

This sentiment says it all. I don’t know about you, but I’m rather tired of all this quarantine business and could use a break. I don’t always show my spouse the love and attention he deserves. Perhaps this card can demonstrate that for me. #keepingitreal

So. Stayed tuned to Friday. I found another sketch and made a coordinating card to this one. I didn’t have quite the time to get it ready to include with this post. I’ll have it ready for Friday.

Create with Connie and Mary Saturday Blog Hop – Animal Kingdom

August 3, 2019 · 4 Comments

Welcome to our Create with Connie and Mary Saturday blog hop!

Our theme this week features animals, birds or insects.

I took this opportunity to play with the Dino Days bundle! It’s soo cute!

Cute, right??

I think is’s a great, silly card for any friend!

I die cut the bird and dinosaur from the Dinoroar Designer Series Paper using the Dino Dies. Yes, the paper actually has dinosaurs that are ready to cut out with no stamping or coloring! I love when they do this!!!

I popped those up on two squares in Soft Sea Foam from the Stitched Shapes Dies.

The stamped sentiment is also on one. It’s stamped in the new In Color, Pretty Peacock. It’s just lovely.

Behind all that, I stamped leaves from the set in Soft Sea Foam. I even added little dots in Pretty Peacock. Those were inked up and stamped off before I stamped them on the card front.

What do you think? Pretty cute, huh?

Go forward to check out Debbie Henderson, and back to Mary Brown. I know they’ll have some great animal cards to inspire us!

OMG. I have the cutest card for the sweetest addition today!

A friend of mine has four sons and recently had another addition to their family!

As cute as can be on the outside –

And, the inside –

She is not into the girly, pink scene (I can’t blame her) so this it what I created for her! It’s just adorable!

I think the family will love it!

Welcome to the world little one! Welcome to the ‘all boys, plus girl’ family!

Create with Connie and Mary Saturday Blog Hop – Kid Cards

June 15, 2019 · 2 Comments

Welcome to our Create with Connie and Mary Saturday blog hop!

Our theme this week features cards for kids!

Perfect time to pull out the dinosaurs! Again!

This is a great kid card, but, I think an adult would like it too!

I used one of the patterns in the Dinoroar Designer Series Paper that has preprinted dinosaurs! The larger of the two patterns, you can die cut the creatures without having to do all the coloring! I used two of the outer Dino’s because I didn’t need their whole body for this card.

I stamped the sentiment, then arranged the dinos around the words. Using the Rectangle Stitched Dies, I cut the area out.

I cut a larger rectangle from the same set of dies using one of the tropical patterns. A piece of new reversible ribbon was a great addition to this card.

I mounted the sentiment over the ribbon.

What do you think? Fun? Kid-like?

Go forward to check out Debbie Henderson, and back to Mary Brown. I know they’ll have some great kid card projects to inspire you!

This little guy, and his buddy from the other card, are actually die cut from the Dinoroar Designer Series Paper! I love when they do that! I added the stamping of the sentiment and Designer Series Paper.

This card is just as adorable! Pretty simple too!
