Welcome!

My name, Karin, was pretty common when I was growing up...just not the spelling. Unless you are of German heritage like I am. So, I have spent my entire life answering the question, "What is your name"?... With, "Karin...with an "i"! Who knew it would come in handy all these years later when I went to name my blog.

Birthday Daisy


Hi Everyone,

I'm healing from my hand surgery pretty well, but I have to type using odd fingers.  Forgive my short post today :)

I had leftovers on my desk from making this card, so I copied it using this new birthday sentiment.  I masked off the bottom part of the Special Birthday Greeting...




And stamped it inside with a few more Medium Daisy Blooms.


Check out all the new stamps at DRS Designs!

have a great day!

We're All Irish

  Hi Everyone,  

I know St. Patrick's Day was last week, but I had to show one last card because the sentiment is too cute to save for next year!

I stamped the Wee Bit Irish Greeting (115D), die cut it and added a bit of green sponging.  I thought the Western Dancing Couple, who are more cowboy than Irish, would be perfect for the card especially if I colored up their clothing in green, instead of denim colors.  I fussy cut them and attached them to an embossed music background. 



A shamrock embossing folder was used for the background panel and I added the Irish Good Luck Circle next to the sentiment to finish off the card.  

Thanks for visiting and be sure to stop by the DRS Designs store to see all they have to offer!

  Hi Everyone,

Here's a simple, flat easy to mail card that I made for a friend going through a hard time.  I used one of my favorite images from DRS Designs for a snail mail card, because it has the sentiment built right in.  

I stamped, colored and die cut the Happy Mail image and sentiment for the front and used the Medium Daisy Bloom to create a background to match.  


An embossed panel in a matching color anchored the image on the card.  

Thanks for stopping by the blog today!

Better with Age

  Hi Everyone,

Today's card share is a Z Fold card.  It may go by other names, but that is what it was called when I learned how to make it.  It's simply a card folded in half, with to top panel folded in half, back to meet the first fold. I like it because it's easy!


This fold gives me the chance to make two matching papers and I did that by using a grape themed embossing folder and the Bunch of Grapes stamp.  For the outside I used the Better with Age Birthday Greeting and added a fussy cut wine glass from the Pour Me Bottle and Glass stamp.



Inside I stamped and die cut the Best Year Cheers Greeting and fussy cut a matching bunch of grapes.


This is the perfect card for my wine loving friend.  

Thanks for visiting!
Karin
