Trees

 I made this card for a challenge at Split Coast Stampers.  The challenge was to have trees on our cards.  This is a stamp from Our Daily Bread  Designs.  It is meant to be a graduation stamp ..but I think it makes a nice background for a sympathy card.

I'm still working on my Christmas cards.  I'm almost done, but till I get them in the mail.  They will be received late.  I hope I do better next year.

Blessings,

Another Twisted Sister card

 Everyone else is posting Christmas cards on their blogs...(except me)  I'm still in the process of making my Christmas cards.  I'm afraid that my cards may not be received till after 
Christmas.  I'm thinking that maybe I should start making some New Year card instead...(smile)

I made the above card for a friend using using an old 3-D sheet that I had.  I fussy cut the flowers.  I used a Pink Fresh Cover plate die for my back ground (Floral tiles) And a Stampin' Up Rectangle stitched Die to make my black frame.
 

Dinner is served

 I'm still trying to get caught up on my commenting and posting.

I'm slowly getting there... This was a card that I made for a challenge at Split Coast stampers.  I posted the card in October.

For the challenge we were supposed to make a card with Food on it.  For the challenge I dug out this very old Stampin' Up stamp.

This was the very first SU stamp that I had ever purchased. 

I had a friend help me me to cut the stamp out.  Do you remember when you had to cut around the stamps from SU?

I'm thankful that now they  come already cut out.

Originally purchased this card to make a card for my hubby.  The chef in our house hold... Yes!  He is a great cook!  (and I know how fortunate I am).

Thank you for visiting my blog today.

Thank You card!

 This is  a card that I actually made in JULY! I made it for a challenge at Split Coast Stampers.  The Challenge was to make a card in my favorite technique.  My favorite technique is Iris Folding.

I made this as a thank you card for a friend that lives in California.  She sent us a beautiful anniversary gift and I wanted to make a special card for her.

Besides the Irish folding, it has copic colored butterflies that I punched out, and I added sticker for my sentiment.

Thank you for visiting my blog today.

Late again

 This is a jointly made card.  My granddaughter wanted to make a card for our neighbor.  She gave my granddaughter free fire wood for her fireplace.  

This makes me feel OLD when I say that my granddaughter has purchased her first home.  She likes her house but she thinks it's too small.  I think it's just a perfect size, and it's not much different than the size of our house.    (Hope she doesn't read this...smile.   I really love her!  Don't want her to get upset with me for saying that)

She used  a Stampin' Up set that I have to make the card.  It's called the great outdoors!  She colored the stamp.  I helped her with the design and she put the card together.  I love it when we make cards together.

AGAIN, I have to apologize for being missing in action here.

I do have an excuse for part of the time.  Hubby and I were really sick with that latest Flue?  or whatever that was.  We tested negative for Covid.  We had what felt like a terrible cold, coughing and major migraine headache.  I had a two day headache which brought my vertigo back again.  I had that 4 years and and was in the hospital for 5 days with it.  I was sure hoping that I would not have to go to the hospital again for that.   so far, NOT!  But I still have it...but I think it's getting a little bit better.  If anyone sees me walking  these days they will probably think I had to much to drink...smile

I didn't finish answering all the lovely comments I received while I was away from blog I hope to get to finish responding to the rest tomorrow.  Thank you, and Thank you for visiting  my blog.

Blessings, Jill

Garden card

 I made this card for a new neighbor that moved in across the street from me.  She has the prettiest yard in the neighborhood.  She obviously likes to garden (unlike me)

  I know that not everyone likes to mail cards these days.  Can't blame them with the high cost of postage.  But I decided to make her a box of my home made cards to welcome her to the neighbor hood.  I told her if she didn't send cards she could always gift them to someone else.  

She seemed to love her cards.   To my surprise about a week later I received an invitation from her to come to her house for a tea party for me and another friend in my neighborhood. What a nice time we had.  She had the most delicious treats for us, and made us really feel welcome.

Since This happened a few months ago and I may have previously posted some of the cards I gave her... I may have mentioned this before.  Now I am working on trying to get a neighborhood tea party together to thank her.

Thanks for stopping by today...

Hope everyone is having a nice weekend.

Blessings, Jill

Two Months Later

 It's been so long since I posted a card...

That I almost forgot how to do it...

This is a birthday card that I sent (a while ago) to a blogging friend.  I think I stamped the image from a stamp in one of my magazines.  I used copics to color the image.

This is the longest break I have made in posting since 2009.

Hopefully, I will be able to post more.  Time just seems to fly away.

Thank you for visiting my blog.

Lattice card

 I loved seeing all the lattice cards on the internet!  I had to give it a try !

It's a card that can be made rather quickly!  there's a lot of great videos on the net showing you how to do this.  I made this card even quicker by using some sun flower stickers (that I had in my stash for a very LONG time)  I thought that is was way over do for me to use them.

Hope you are having a great weekend

Blessings,

Jill.
