Love, Anniversary, Wedding and Valentine Cards


Cards for Anniversary, Wedding, Valentine and any other special occasion.

 QuicKutz Lacy Square and Lacy Heart sets. Below, you see the card open. I used the ScorPal to score cardstock first. Line up on one side of the die JUST inside the outside loop. If you look close on the picture above you can see where it is a little flat. In person, the slight flat area is almost invisible. 

Below, you can see the card opened.







 Various sizes of lacy squares used. Love is cut OUT of the white square and the extra "Love" was used on another card.



A2 card with Lacy Rectangle, two sizes of lacy squares and QuicKutz border die used from the QuicKutz Edge It set. The "love" and "you" are actually cut OUT of the white square, NOT a red word on TOP of the white square. The white words left over were then used on another card.



















Dog Cards - Poodle, Lab and other dogs

Dachshund cards are on another section further down.








































































Mom Cards - Mother's Day or any occasion for Mom!

Cards for Mom whether Mother's Day or birthday.










This is Provocraft Fancy Pants alphabet die. I used the "W" upside down in MOM.





Christmas Cards

Christmas Cards that didn't fit in any of the other categories.











I made this card for a scrapbooking friend who has a dairy farm. 
I cheated because she got some cards with a similar sentiment and decided I was making a card with that sentiment. 

Unfortunately, I only have one cow die but the cow jumping over the moon worked great with the little Christmas tree! The tree was cut out of sticky back felt and looked so good that I didn't want to over do it and put ornaments on it. It looked perfect with just the little glitter star.

 
The two "Joy" cards are using the negative and the positive of the letters cut out. I cut Joy twice. Once with red and once with green and alternated the colors and wound up making 4 cards.


 




 Joy to the left is the negative left after cutting Joy for another card.






 
Christmas Door, I think I got the idea from SplitCoast Stampers. It is hard to see in the picture. I need to make another and just take a picture with the camera, the scanner doesn't show the depth.

















Two of my Silent Night Cards. The trees and mountains are cardstock with white embossing powder on top and the rest is stamped with white embossing powder.


Pile of Christmas Cards below! The only picture I have of some.




Greeting Cards

More coming in the category.



Thank You AND Thanksgiving Cards

This was a Thank You card for someone who gave me a cookie scoop in addition to the other gift. I just HAD to make a card that was cookie related.

















The grape cards above are examples of using both the positive and negative of almost everything! The "thanks", the grape bunches AND the leaf ! I used cardstock that was lighter color on the back to make the punched border stand out without any other decoration.

I finally found a rubber stamp that is PERFECT for the two grape cards above and the carrots below. It says:
Thanks Thanks Thanks
Thank You!
Thanks a Bunch!

This way there is no question that the bunch of grapes and carrots means thanks a bunch! Now, I have to make more of these cards to keep on hand!








Embossed card using what was then my new card corner punch and a thick cut thank you. Embossing has Thanks and Thank You in English and other languages.


Below, I figured Thanksgiving Cards would fit very well in the Thank You category. 
The die I used was a tiny square frame, I used both the frame AND the left-over inside.
