Spring is in the Air.....

 This one took me a couple of days to do.... between the painting and drying, and then that darn ribbon.  Now I remember why I kind of drifted away from using ribbon.  Not only is it lumpy in the mail but, Oh My that darn bow......
For this card I used my NEW to me stamp set from PowerPoppy- Chrysanthemum XL.... Oh I just love all the little fingers this flower has.... fronts and back and will you get it...

 

If you look real close on the edge of the green background paper I put some gold.  But that's about all I did since the die was so busy. The Die is another oldy called A2 Polka Dots by Spellbinders, this set had 2 frames and 2 sentiment dies. 

 

Just another angle here.....

Back in Time

 Will for me it's going back quite a few years.... I was but a child when I did this and for some reason wanted to do it again......
So,
Here we go.... I stared Embroidery again.  I had some Oold dish towels and found this Aunt Martha's hot iron transfers.... boy have these changed since I last used them... they iron on so easy now... anyway back to the subject.. the transfer I used is called Cross Stitch Dishes-3371.
And here's the first towel I did;

 

It's funny how Stuff comes back to you once you get started...  Can't remember the names of the stiches I used but for my first one I think it came out ok.....

I should have taken a pic of the back... so you could really grade me on my work.

That's it for today.... maybe I'll have another one in a few days.......maybe.......

Birthday Candles Mom

I know this card look like I just posted this before, but had to make another one with a different person inside after.
This one is for my Mom who is turning 97 next month.... she will get a real kick out of this....

 

This card I made last was for a man and one of the gals who commented talked about using  the AI stamp with the old lady and the fire extinguisher... 

I had replied back that I had that one and thanked her for the reminder, so that's what I used today.

 

I just love the look on her face.... and the way she's standing.... it just cracks me up every time I pass this stamp when looking for something else. 

 

This card just has my MOM written all over it.......

Ice Tea Anyone?

Today's card is from the PowerPoppy set called  "Tea in the Garden".  I'm using it for a Birthday card which is in the mail as we speak.
This time I made Ice Tea, but think I'll be making Lemon aid next time.

  

This blue background  paper I had picked for another card but didn't use it so while it was out I tried the frame die set by Spellbinders called Devine Eloquence.  I used the biggest die on the blue paper and then the next one down for the Ice Tea.... With the yellow it really shows it of nicely.

 

The inside I used the same yellow and another die from that set for the blue on the Happy Birthday strip.  Then just another little bunch of flower and it finished. 

I hope my niece enjoys it.

Valentine Poppy

 Here's the card I made for my Mom for Valentines Day. When I gave it to her I had forgotten to take a pic... so today when I visited, asked if I could borrow it to take a pic of and post on my blog.  She said OK,,,,, but wanted it back tomorrow..... She has several of my cards displayed around, she really does enjoy them.

I did it in the style of one of the cards that was showed on the PowerPoppy  site for this stamp set. Mine is a little different but I think it turned out nicely too.

I fussy cut it out and added a few more leaves, and just a little bling...I used a black gel pen for the center of the flower. And Zigs to do my coloring.
That's it for today....
