Happy Twos-day

Happy "Twos"-Day! Yes, I made a card to celebrate this very specific day!  Did you realize that the date is 2/22/22? And if you're reading this at 2:22 am or pm, extra celebratory salutations to you!

I tried to come up with some ideas for celebratory things to do today, but all I could think of was making this card.  I colored, and fussy cut the stamped Spring Crocus, because I thought they looked like tulips.  Two-lips...get it?  I can hear the groaning right through computer...lol!

I stamped the Sticky Note Calendar and colored it the 22nd to match the embossed background of my card and attached it along with a die cut greeting.

I finished it by adding a strip of floral ribbon and attached the image to finish it.

 

Thanks for stopping by on this very special Twos-day!

Hugs,

Mini Cards

Hi Everyone,

January always gets me in the mood to organize.  During that initial rush of digging through craft supplies, I came across some tiny, 3" envelopes.  So, instead of making A2 sized simple cards, I made them mini, gift enclosure sized cards.

For the card on the left, I cut the card base maybe 1/16th smaller, so that it would fit in the envelope and embossed the background with hearts. I stamped the Cocoa and Marshmallows, fussy cut it and attached to to the background.  I decorated it using the Small Silhouette Heart and I used a portion of the Cheap Chocolate Eve Greeting on the front as well.

The Paper Coffee Cup was stamped along the fold of my card stock, and then fussy cut.  I stamped it couple of more times onto pink and fuchsia paper that I fussy cut and embellished using the Splatter and Vicki's Versatile Background stamps. I finished that using a fussy cut Candy Heart along with the lid. 

Inside there was just enough room for a sentiment and wee bit of room to sign something personal.

Inside stamps are as follows:

Love You More Chocolate Greeting

Chocolate Chip Background

Coffee & Friends Greeting

The Valentine's Day countdown has begun...Have you finished your card making?  There are more stamps and ideas at DRS Designs!

Happy Stamping!

Winter Birthday

Hi Everyone,

These cards feature the new Ice Day Birthday Greeting , which is the perfect sentiment to celebrate a winter birthday!

For this card, I taped off the happy birthday portion of the greeting, so that I could stamp it inside the card. Otherwise, I stamped, die cut and added some pink ink to it, before attaching it to a big, die cut mitten.  It's a die meant to make ornaments, but I just added some faux stitching with a pen, along with some punched mini snowflakes for decoration.  I layered it onto a background that was stamped using the Snow Background and some white ink.  

This second card was so simple, that it needs no explanation.  I stamped and heat embossed the sentiment, attaching it to an embossed panel. (Darice brand embossing folder) I then cut off the bits that were hanging off the edge and attached it to the card base. 

I added some glitter glue and called it done. Easy when you have a great sentiment that can do the heavy lifting! 

Thanks for stopping by!
