Get well Soon

 I know I said I would post guy cards every other one but there has been challenges that I am using things for ladies cards, I will get back to the guy cards :)  I am really trying hard to use more Advent calendar goodies before I start opening my new one in December and I managed to use quite a bit on this one card. A lady in our church had back surgery.

I started with coloring this pretty stamp, cutting it out with a wavy die from the set and using an embossing folder and sentiment too. I added a die cut to go between the embossing and pattern paper.

• Diamond Press - Advent Calendar 2025- Stamp set (flowers and sentiment, colored w/markers, wavy Square die, embossing folder
• Cheery Lynn Designs - Alison's Ribbons die
• BasicGrey - Porcelain paper

Here is a close up of the embossing folder, I think this is the prettiest folder of all the ones I have gotten from Advent calendars.

I would like to share my card today with the following challenges :

Simon Says Monday Challenge Think Pink

Fold Card

 I did this card with my group over Teams and I totally forgot to write down the measurements as we were making it this time. With all the folds it is a thick card but I was able to hand deliver it to a lady in our church so that was ok. I hope if you want to give it a try you can figure out a way to make it with your own measurements.

• DCWV - Linen Closet paper
• Simply Cards and Papercrafts Magazine - Layered Peonies stamp and die set
• Ecstasy Crafts - Birthday Stickers, colored w/marker
• Martha Stewart - Butterfly punch
• Paper Studio - Gems

I didn't get a very good close up but gave it to her before checking my pictures.

Tag Birthday

 I was looking for something else when I came upon these Hunkydory papers and ephemera for card making, I can not remember where or when I got them they were not with anything like it, so not sure how they were stored this way. Glad I came upon them, they made a pretty card for my nephews wife. 

• Hunkydory - Deluxe card collection (papers, tags and borders)
• Open Studio - Greeting tabs Round, with gold pen around the edges
• Ribbon and String

I love the gold touches to it!

Masculine Birthday

 I went to my scraps to make this card, I keep all things after cutting things out just incase I can use them and this frame is one of them.  The background papers are many thin strips I had left over and the piece in the center is from a box.  The images are one from the junk journal stickers I bought on Amazon. Finished off with some gems, this one was hand delivered to one of our guy friends so I could use the bigger gems.

• Amazon - Junk Journal Stickers
• Basic Grey - Periphery paper
• Ecstasy Crafts - Happy Birthday Silver stickers
• Frame from left over of cutting out rectangle dies, corrugated cardboard
• Queen & Co. - Nightfall Gems

I would like to share my card today with Sisterhood of Crafters Challenge Frame it!

Chirp for Joy

 I found this cardmaking magazine at Barnes and Nobles with many bird stamps inside and I just had to get it.  I colored him like a woodpecker since that is the bird I enjoy watching eating from our suet. I had to have something for the suet to hang from so I die cut a branch, added a brad to look like it is nailed to the branch and added some flowers.

• Creative Stamping Magazine - The Beauty of Birds stamp set, colored w/markers, sentiment stamp from same stamp set
• Spellbinders - Labels 29 and Cherry Blossom Dies
• Recollections - Brad
• K&co.- Hannah cardstock pad

I would like to share my card with the Triple B Challenge
