Cards...Cards...and more Cards

 Easel Cards.....I love them! I made these for the Sisters I visit teach.

Another Easel Card.... It took some finagling and I finally figured out how to use my gypsy to create it.

Father-in-laws Father's Day Card

My dad's Father's day card.

3-D Butterflies

When I was at an Expo this weekend I saw the cutest butterflies....I refused to pay $5.00 for one butterfly, so Judy and I came straight home and learned how to make them ourselves.

Twin's Mini-Album

I made this cute little brag book for friends at work expecting twin boys! Mason and Maddox. I am so happy for the Ryser Family! Congrats on the birth of your boys!

 

I love to buy kits whenever I go to Scrapbooking Expos. This cute little Album was from the Paper Bakery. They have since gone out of business, but their little store had some amazing embellishments and kits. This one I purchased at a discount. So it was about $5.00

I did not follow directions exactly and I added several other items I already had. My mother-in-law got this cute number for Mother's day!

Easter Cards

One of my favorite things to do is to make cards for my in-laws. 

These were their Easter Cards this past year. 

This card was made with Jillibean Soup paper. Love the ribbon!!!!

I used my CTMH Artiste Critcut Cartridge and made a swing card for my Sister-in-law. This was so much fun!

Military Mini-Album

My dad joined the Marine Corp League about 2 years ago and he has participated in many parades in the area. I decided to make him an album to put his pictures and mementos in.

 

I added all the pictures that I had and left the rest for him to fill in.

 

The album is made completely from scratch. The cover is made of cardboard and paper, the pages are attached with a handmade hidden hinge and all the pages are made out of neatly folded paper.

Here's the latest card challenge.  You find a paint swatch on pinterest and then use the colors on a card. We have a blast and as a result we build up our card stash!
