Just Random Card Projects

 Hi all! I hope your week has been going well and you are all prepared for the wonderful Thanksgiving Holiday.

Last week I needed several cards to send along to some friends. I took the time to plan and gather together supplies and go to work. Below are the cards that I created.



This card was created for my GS who just turned 11 last week. I did CASE this from a card maker over on Pintrest. Once I find who the design belongs to I will post it.

This week I've been working on Wool Felt ornaments and Christmas cards. Hopefully, I will have them all done before CHRISTMAS! We shall see.


That is all for today. I'm hoping to get more of my Christmas projects at least stamped, cut and the remaining felt ornaments done before our family starts rolling in.

Blessings, Bernie B

Sending Birthday Bear Hugs

 I'm here tonight posting a card that I will be linking over at CAS C&S # 443 for their recent challenge. I just received this stamp set and dies from MFT Beary Special Birthday. I have several GC who will be celebrating Birthdays in several months and this set will be put to good use. I love the little bears in this recent set and the dies leave very slim line around the outside of the image. Definitely a win-win.

Wink of Stella on Cake Icing
MFT Watercolor Wash Free Form Stencil
MFT Stitched Fishtail Die-namics

Put on Your Party Hat

 Hello! I'm here today with a quick post. I just finished a Birthday card that I will be giving to one of my grandsons whose birthday is coming up next week. 

I haven't created very much in a long time. I definitely lost my Mojo. I'm hoping this card will get me out of my crafting slump. I will be adding this over at CAS C&S # 441for their recent challenge. This will be definitely under the wire entry.

Although I didn't add the black enamel dots, I will be adding them.





I selected an image from MFT - Picture Perfect Party Animals
The sentiment is from MFT Bitty Birthday Wishes
MFT Stitched Basic Edges
MFT Paper Pad 6x6 Birthday Brights
Various Prismacolor Pencils blended with Gamasol

That will be it for now. Have a good evening!
Blessings, Bernie B
