Pickleball for Father’s Day

Pickleball for Father’s Day

I’m a bit late posting this, but…

Pickleball seems to be all the rage these days, and my husband has definitely been bitten by the bug! When I saw this “Pickleball Card” SVG file from Dreaming Tree, I knew I had to make his Father’s Day card with it. While it comes with the Father’s Day greeting (and 2 different print and cut panels for the inside sentiment), this (5×7) card could be used for anyone (and for any occasion) who loves pickleball!

I cut all the pieces with my Silhouette electronic die cutting machine. Here is a video showing how they all go together.

Thanks for checking out my card project!

Quilled Floral Mother’s Day Card

Quilled Floral Mother’s Day Card

(inside: Wishing you a happy day!)

I haven’t done any quilling in a while and had big ideas in my head for this card. Quilling is A LOT harder than it looks (for me) – LOL! What was going to be a large quilled pattern with multiple flowers and swirls ended up being one, simple flower. Oh well; I’ll keep practicing!

The printed paper is from the “Floral Fields” paper pack from Creek Bank Creations. The purple card stock is Bazzill Velvet. The greeting die and inside sentiment stamp are from Amazon.

I have such respect for people who can quill well!!

Easter Joy Cross Card

Easter Joy Cross Card

(inside: Wishing you a blessed Easter)

I saw this video to make a dimensional cross card and thought I’d give it a try.

Bethany’s instructions show how to make what I used as my card front. I added a top folding card base behind that panel (measuring 3 1/2 x 11 inches folded in half) to allow it to stand up better (it leans forward without the added base) and to have an “inside” for my sentiment/personal message (she put her message on the back).

The patterned paper is from the “Linen Floral” paper pack from Creek Bank Creations. American Crafts Velvet and white card stock was also used.

Both the greeting on the front and the sentiment on the inside were from the “Just Sentiments: Easter” stamp set from Ink to Paper and were stamped with Gina K Designs Plum Punch ink. I used a 1 1/2 inch and a 1 3/4 inch punch for the circles.

This card folds flat (to A2 size) for mailing.

Easter Egg Car and Bunny

Easter Egg Car and Bunny

This box card was made with an SVG file called Box Card – Easter Egg Car Bunny by Lori Whitlock. Once the pieces were cut using my Silhouette electronic die cutting machine, it went together pretty quickly.

This card folds flat for mailing. However, when folded, it measures roughly 5 3/4 x 5 3/4 inches so I needed to make a custom envelope with my We R Memory Keepers envelope punch board. (Paper size: 9 1/4″ square; first fold at 4 5/8″)

Hedgehog and Hearts for Valentine’s Day

Hedgehog and Hearts for Valentine’s Day

(Inside: Wishing you every happiness, today and always.)

This card features this cute little guy from a die set I purchased on Amazon as well as a background cover die that I embossed (instead of cut as I had done HERE).

This animal die set includes a number of cute animals, but I just wanted to mention that there is a bit of fussy cutting and drawing/coloring required for some of the layers on each.

The frame is from the “Heart Card Sketcher” set (FRA-DIE-09308) from Frantic Stamper. The inside sentiment is from the “Elegant Florals” set from Gina K Designs, and the greeting on the front was computer generated (CK Footnote; 15pt font).
