Fall Cards

I've made 18 fall cards! Here is a sampling of them:


These two are mini slimline cards. I made a total of 5 of these.







 Inside is stamped "Happy Fall from the whole Kitten Kaboodle!"

We sign our 4 cats' names along with ours.

So, Happy Fall everyone from the whole kitten kaboodle:

Fonda, Katie, Tulip, Bjorn, Tangerine and Phoebee!

Birthday Cards

 I made a plethora of birthday cards. Some will go to my father-in-law, and we will keep some. Here, I am giving you a highlight of the 35 cards I had made. 








Right now, I am letting the paper take center stage, along with a small stamped or die cut sentiment. 

I'm in the process of making fall card for friends and family. They will be mailed out in November. I'll share them here when I finish with them. I stepped up my game a bit, and I'm happy with what I've done so far.

Christmas in Mass

I'm finally showing you the Christmas cards I made for my father-in-law.

I CASED the design from Amy Koenders whose work I like very much. Using her design, I selectively edited it to suit myself. Her design is here: https://stampwithamyk.com/2021/07/27/stampin-up-poinsettia-petals-cas-banner-christmas-card/

And, this is my design:

Being depressed for so long, I needed something simple, which meant that I wanted to Copy And Selectively Edit (CASE) something I'd seen. I thought this one was good for mass production, even putting it together in phases. It was a way for me to ease myself back into creating. 

I will be making simple cards, and I will not yet enter my work into some of the challenges I had in the past. I don't feel my cards are worthy just yet. In time, I may change my mind.

Halloween

I made about 13 Halloween cards. Then, my wife, Katie, and I put them in envelopes and sealed them up. That's what happens when I haven't made a card for awhile! I forgot to scan and share! Drat!

So...I'm in the craft room...finally. I also made 35 birthday cards and 25 Christmas cards for my father-in-law. I haven't mailed them off just yet. Before I do, I will scan them and share!

Thanks to everyone for hanging in there with me! See you again soon!
