Christmas Card with My Favorite Things

I always seem to only make 1 Christmas card each year.  Here was 2020's card that went out:

For this card, I created a background using watercolor markers then die cut it with MFT "Starry Circle".  I die cut it a second time from some silver glitter paper and paper pieced the stars.  The puppy is from MFT "Happy Pawlidays" which I colored with Copics.  And the sentiment is from "Happy Holidays" by Altenew.

 Copics E31, E35, E37, YG23, YG17, Y17, Y15, W8, W6, C0, C1, R29, R35

Sympathy Card with Hero Arts

These are never easy to make cards, but I know the recipient will appreciate the sentiment.

I stamped the "Leafy Vines" from Hero Arts with Versafine and then the sentiment from "Fresh Freesia" by Altenew.  Next, I added some Hero Arts pearls and matted the card front with some matching purple paper.

Thank you Card with MFT and Concord & 9th

 

Today's card was inspired by MFT's Color Challenge 156.

Here I used the Concord & 9th Snowflakes Turnabout with Gina K inks.  I then die cut the MFT Thank You from the panel and popped it up with a few more die cuts underneath.  Quick and easy peasy!  This card was to share my appreciation to a neighbor that came by to help me move furniture.

Birthday Card with Hero Arts

 My first card making in my new (temporary) home!

My dad's birthday is coming up and I needed something simple since the majority of my supplies are still packed.  I also needed something masculine.  Hero Arts My Monthly Hero to the rescue!

I used a few stamps from the 2020 August kit along with a sentiment from the 2019 July kit.

All were stamped with Hero Arts Intense Black and colored with Polychromos pencils.

I am entering this into A Blog Named Hero's September Challenge:

Have a great day!  Thanks for visiting!

Moving Fun!

 After living in Hawaii for 5 years, it became apparent that we needed to move back to the mainland; mainly due to healthcare.  I thought it was a lot of working moving from California to Hawaii, but now we decided to go to Tennessee!  

After lots of prep and packing, we loaded up a 20 foot container:

And loaded up our truck and trailer:

for the voyage across the Pacific.  Meanwhile, my husband and myself along with our 2 cats and 1 dog took 3 flights followed by a 2 hour drive to get to our new home.

And so far we love it!
