Cancer Awareness Month--2023

 

                                                              Inside Text  Reads:

Healing
is a journey traveled
One step at a time,
One day at a time
And one prayer at a time
Healing is knowing that you have
Survived cancer –and have won.
Celebrating with you,

Continuing prayers for rapid healing.
Please take enough time for yourself
to completely heal,

Keeping you in thoughts and prayers

I used the Queen and Company  Cancer Awareness Ribbon Dieset to make this shaker card. The proceeds from this purchase were donated to the Breast Cancer Research Center at YRMC Medical Center in AZ. Graphics are from two sets of Breast Cancer Awareness sets by Jenny L. at Creative Fabrica.
  And this card--with the same message inside was for my friend, Patsy, who had her surgery Feb 12th

A cute, not so scary, scarecrow

 

Just a couple more Hallowee'n fun!
Font is Turkey and this one's double matted and brushed with distress inks

Happy 75th to Marilyn

 I made this card for my friend Marilyn who celebrates the big milestone birthday today!  This is an Interactive Slide Out Pocket Card as found at Lisa's Stamp Studio (April 17, 2023 Live stream)  All materials are from my artpiece or  paper stashes. This one has a shiny copper cardstock base. "Oxidized Copper"is SU designer paper used for matting. Copper line stickers are from pop-ups-etc.

Interlocking Accordion Fold Cards

 Just can't get enough of these---they are so much fun to make and crazy fun to design.

Clareene made this adorable litter farmer accordion fold as an example for the next PnP Workshop on the 19th. I made the watercolor owls--U may be adding some die cut branches and little punched leaves on the inside. 

Shaker Money Holders

 I found this cute idea for a Money Holder gift at Splitcoast Stampers in a utube video by Vicki Parson.  They are made using a WeRMemory Keepers Fuse tool and medium sized plastic storage envelopes used for storing dies or stamp, a bit of ribbon and scortape, and there you have it!  Cute, quick and easy!  

Double Flip Corner Halloween Card

 

 

 

The tutorial for the Double Flip Corner card was found at frenchistamps.com and taken from a 2021 August tutorial for a fun fold panel card.  The background is one of the papers from Creative Fabrica Watercolor Halloween digital papers.  The sentiment in the middle is from (long ago) Graphics Fairy vintage collections and reads: "Come with me all hallows night; we'll frighten everyone in sight; such pranks for once are justified, and fun and frolic amplified."  I'm not sure where the tag came from, it was in my stash on a page of tags like this for Hallowee'n.  The tag is swinging from under the binder clip and floats when the card is opened. Finished size is slightly smaller than A2.

Pastor Appreciation

Our much-loved pastor, Ross Doyel,  has been through SO much in the past year that the congregation of Valley Presbyterian Church is showing extra appreciation to him for all he does on October 8th with a special Pastor Appreciation Sunday. Even the cards will be secreted away so he doesn't know this is  going to happen.

For this really pretty and very special card, I have followed the tutorial by Lisa Curcio for the THREE STEP Pop Out card. I have used Graphic 49's new 2023 Autumn kit this year called Hello Pumpkin  for the papers' the tiny oak leaves are a punch.

 

Fully open the steps (to faith) show Scripture, Tradition and Service

"I Love You" Collection, and photos that I have collected from here and there for the past three or four years.

Halloween Interlocking Accordion Pop-Out Card

 I am using Laurie Furnell's kit "Halloween Vibes" (Etsy) for a project card for the Sun City Papers N Pixels Club for their October workshop/class. The card is inspired by Lisa Curcio's Interlocking Pop Out Card.   

Tablet Folios Revisited

 We have made many of these little purse sized notepad folios and they make great gifts. A fast and easy project that I will be demonstrating for the PapersNPixels club soon.  They are inspired by Michelle Allen of "A Creative Operation"

No embellishments--

Using Graphic 45 "Midnight Tales" collection paper pumpkin Patch on green cardstock.

Embellish or finish as you wish.

 This one was finished with "Watercolor Halloween Owls" from Creative Fabrica. 

Family of Owls by Renee Morales.  Inside above the pocket reads--

Advice form an old owl.  

Stay focused,

 be "whoo" you are,

 trust in a wise friend, 

live off the land,

 glide through the dark times,

 be observant

LIFE IS A HOOT

Yet another tablet folio--this is one of the 3x5, purse sized with flat pen, and used some SU Designer paper from my stash and Terracotta Autumn Flowers from Etsy. This one I made FOR MOI!

Hoppy Halloween

 This adorable  project uses Laurie Furnell's "Hoppy Halloween" kit available in her Etsy store.  The card tutorial for the "Double Flap" fun fold can be found at Lisa Curcio's Utube Channel The  plaid paper flap opens to a larger message (or graphic on the inside of this card)

Pop Out Accordion Card--Hello Ladybug

 

The Pop Out Accordion Card--Hello Ladybug was patterned after the tutorial by Lisa Curcio in her August 21, 23 Live Stream.  The Ladybugs are from Creative Fabrics--from Awkward Annie's studio called "Little Lady Bugs and Flowers.  The white dotted designer paper is from my stash of digital polka dot papers.

These watercolor owls are from Adobe Express

The paper is from Etsy "Primrose Planners" tartans and plaids called
Pumpkin Tartan Digital Plaids

I wasn't careful when I planned the way I framed the owls

Forgot to make them on a diamond instead of a square.

But I like how the card turned out even so

..and of course---everything was glued firmly 

in place so I couldn't change anything 

without starting over!

It is VERY attractive when it is open, don't you think?
