Forever Fern Slimline Cards

 I finally pulled out my Forever Fern stamp set and the coordinating Forever Greenery Designer Series Paper to make a few cards.  I have been following the Sheetload of Cards videos posted by Alisha at Call Me {Crafty} Al on YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/callmecraftyal.  Her September video featured slimline cards and I was intrigued.  Over the past few months I have seen this style of card and had not followed the trend - mostly because I didn’t have any envelopes that would fit.  I had to get some ink cartridges from Staples so I ordered a box of #10 envelopes as well.  They are bigger than the card but the card fits.

The finished cards measure 3.5” x 8.5”

Project Comfort Crochet - Part II

 A few more blankets I have made for donation to Project Comfort Crochet.  They will eventually be given to patients at our local cancer treatment centres.

Christmas in the Summer

 I have been making a few Christmas cards over the last few months.  This z-fold card uses the Feels Like Frost Designer Series Paper and the Snow Globe Scenes Dies.

Project Comfort Crochet

There is a lady near me who coordinates donations of crocheted blankets to local cancer treatment centres.    The blankets are given to patients undergoing chemotherapy.  Last year my sister and I donated several blankets.  We will be donating again this year.

These are some of the blankets I will be donating.

Poppy Cards

Scrappy Strip Technique

I used Bruno and Kylie Bertucci’s scrappy strip technique for these two cards.  The patterned papers are from the same package - Delightful Daisy (retired).

Happy Canada Day

Paper Pumpkin April 2020

Two more cards using elements from the April 2020 Paper Pumpkin kit.

More Crochet

The designer of this afghan used multiple colours (6 I think).  I decided to do it in a single colour and chose eggshell.  I am so glad I did that - fewer ends to weave in but more importantly I love the vintage look of my project.

Crochet - Woven Mosaic Blanket

In addition to card making I have also been crocheting.  I participated in a crochet stitch along this past spring.  It was out of my comfort zone but I really enjoyed the process and I am very happy with the finished blanket.

Paper Pumpkin - April 2020

Painted Poppies

Another Painted Poppies card.

Painted Poppies

I don't think I will ever tire of the Painted Poppies Stamp Set or it's coordinating dies - Poppy Moments and Painted Labels.

I used one of the dies in the Delicate Lace set for the decorative edge on the white card stock.

The patterned paper is from the Peaceful Poppies Designer Series Paper.

Painted Poppies/Poppy Moments

I love the Painted Poppies stamp set, coordinating dies and other accessories. I have been making a lot of cards and will be posting them here.

I saw several lovely cards posted by Patty Bennett - this is the first one of hers that I CASEd

#ScrappyStripTechnique

This is another card using Kylie and Bruno Bertucci’s Scrappy Strip Technique. Great way to use up those accumulated scraps of Designer Series Paper.

Paper Pumpkin - March 2020

I have been playing with the March Paper Pumpkin. There were supplies to make twelve note cards. I prefer full size cards so searched Pinterest for ideas.

These two cards are the identical layout but changing the backgrounds makes a difference to the overall look.

I made a card!

It’s been quite a long time since I posted but I am going to try to get back to it. I have been doing a bit of stamping and am hoping to do a lot more.

I am also doing a lot of crochet work so may post about that as well.

The above card uses Kylie and Bruno Bertucci’s “Scrappy Strip Technique”.
