So I got the opportunity to make a 90th birthday card for a special Papa. He is a retired farmer who had a soft spot for horses so I thought creating a card with Cocoa the Horse would brighten his day.

Valentines Window Shaker Card
Here is a flashback Valentines card that I made my Hubby a few years ago. It is a super cute card that I can’t take full credit for as it was inspired by a card that was made by Jennifer McGuire but I’d like to think that the changes that I made help make this card my own 🙂

A Gamers Birthday card
I am pretty excited to share this card, I had to wait until after his birthday 🙂 This card is soooooooo fun, if you notice in the photos our little guy in red, and our little guy in green are in different positions, when you open the card one looks like he is jumping up (guy in red) one looks like he is jumping down (guy in green). There is a lot going on in this card but I gotta say, it is really cool.

“Alicorn” Birthday card in a box
Alicorns are a favorite mythical creature (Unicorn meets pegasus) of my niece, so it made sense to make her an Alicorn birthday card. But of course, I couldn’t just slap an Alicorn on a piece of cardstock sooooooo I made a card in a box.

“Through the Stones” Birthday Card
Happy New Year, I am going to start the year off with a Birthday card that I made for a friend. She and I are both fans of this period show primarily based in 18th Century Scotland so when I saw this stamp set I knew it would make the perfect card for her.

Punchart Trifold Shutter Christmas Card
Another card created back in my punchart days. I used to really like making cute little characters out of random punches. The Trifold design was also very popular for a while. Most of these ideas I found scrolling through SplitCoast Stampers, the elf I came up with on my own.

Have you been Naughty or Nice
A super cute way to package some Christmas goodies, these make cute classroom gifts or Christmas market wares. I made these goodies for my daughters class back when she was grade 3 🙂 when goodie bags were cool and punch art was what we had to do to make these kinds of adorable characters.
****these ideas are not completely my own, I found the poems on Split Coast Stampers about 10ish years ago, and ran with it.

Wonderful Wicked Birthday
This card is my most favourite card of the year, or possibly ever. This card is for my sister and TODAY is her birthday. This card started off in my head as a fairly simple idea using this “Off to see the Wizard” stamp set ( the witch theme is an inside joke). Then I thought the rest of the characters should pop out the middle, then I thought wouldn’t it be fun to have the Witch of the West be able to pop in and out of the scene, then I thought the Good Witch should be in her bubble, then I thought I should add more glitter…….and more glitter……. and maybe some more glitter……………..and maybe some poppies……….and hey should the poppies have glitter?…….. my mind is often a very chaotic place when I’m card making. Lol
The glitter is hard to see but it’s there, and there is lots of it……..all of the yellow brick road, the ruby slippers, Tin Man, the bubble, the Good Witches dress, wand and crown, the Lions mane, the Scarecrows hair (not sure why I just thought it needed a little something 😆), and the Emerald City.
