Triple Panel Stand Up Birthday Card

At least I think it's called a Triple Panel Stand Up Card. 

Please correct me if I'm wrong. 

This card was for my mother's 89th birthday.

I wanted to show off the pretty chip board circle and sentiment that came with some very pretty papers and a lovely set of fairy stamps in my last Cardmaking and Papercraft magazine.

Birthday Peacocks

An uninvited flock of peacocks has decided to make the tree in my friend's yard their home.  

For her birthday, I thought she needed a peacock on her card.  

 In fact, everyone who had birthdays this week also received a peacock card.  What fun stamps from MFT!

Double Trouble Challenge #31 Card 2 + CTMH Class 6/25/19

Adventure Awaits when it's summer and time to go on vacation.

 This card, following a sketch #322 at  

Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge, 

gives you a glimpse of the black and white patterned papers in the newest CTMH catalog. 

It is also my second entry for the current 

Double Trouble Challenge #31, Hit the Road - Dry/Heat Embossing and Pile It On Challenge #155, Transportion and/or Vacation theme.

(FYI: The sailboat is a cut from the CTMH Flower Market cricut cartridge. And the heart embossing folder is also by CTMH. My apologies to Twisted Sister for the absence of a road sign.)

Here are the 4 cards we made at Joyce's CTMH class yesterday.

We celebrated 2 birthdays in the group, missed you Judie, by enjoying the yummiest white chocolate raspberry bundt cake with cream cheese frosting from Nothing Bundt Cakes. 

 

Saying Goodbye to More Scraps

These CTMH papers were one of my favorites.  

The last little bits are on the two cards below.

These stamps were in the Inkadinkadoo set I used yesterday.  

And these cards are now in the box I am sending to SAS4Kids.

Punny cards + CTMH Card Class 6/18/19

The box of cards for SAS4Kids is slowly filling up,

and I'm making all the cards from a shoe box full of scraps I uncovered the other day.

What do you do with a partial piece of cow paper?

It did give me pause.  Then I could picture the perfect stamp.

But was it a stamp I had? or one I had seen on a card? or one I had maybe seen in a store?  The search began.  Lo and behold, I actually found the cow stamp I was searching for.

 That's the end of the cow paper!

The stamp is by Inkadinkadoo.

It's been a while since I shared the cards from Joyce Houck's CTMH card group.  Here's what we made this week:

   

Birthday Card Moving Slowly

Our new grandson-in-law recently had a birthday.  We didn't forget it.  We just didn't know about it.  And it has taken me a few days to make his card, but it is finally on its way.

The slow moving turtles, a CTMH stamp, are paper pieced with some of the scraps from the CTMH Joyful Stars Blog Hop card I posted here.
