2023 May

Lots of birthdays in May. 
 First is my brother who rides motorcycles.  Created this card with Stampin Up images in Cricut Design Space, some are print then cut others are stamped.

I made two cards for my husband's birthday.  The first one I made before we found out he could no longer have one of his favorites, anything chocolate, due to health issues so I had to make a new one.  Both cards are with Stampin Up images, some print then cut, some written with pen in Cricut Design Space.
The first card - all about chocolate and cookies!
The second card as a tribute to one of his hobbies: growing plants in his greenhouse.

For our great nephew's birthday I designed this Indiana University themed card as he will be starting there soon.  Found image on Google and uploaded into Cricut Design Space.  Star punch came with a crafting kit many years ago.  I used the negative strip from the stars for the inside. 

Great niece's card I designed in Cricut Design Space around the uploaded keyboard image.  Background on front top is embossed, black keys have Wink of Stella for slight glitter.  Inside stamps are from Charming Sentiments by Stampin Up

Another great niece who dances, I designed this card based on the paper I had in my stash.  The image is colored with pencils, ovals are dies from Stampin Up and sentiments inside where found on Google and upload into Design Space as print then cut into design.

Designed this card for my brother in law using stamps from MayMay and Stampin Up.  Stampin Up and stash paper used.

Grandkids live in George and get of school end of May.  I made these celebration gifts from inspiration from Qbee's Quest.  They hold a sparkling cider bottle.

A neighbor from my childhood, who still lives in the house across the street and down a few from where I grew up is turning 99. To honor his birthday I used Karen Titus's instructions to create this "impossible card".  Stash papers and stamp by MayMay and Stampin Up. Card folds flat in envelope.
