Hello All Occasion Card

Hello friends!  How is everyone doing?  It has finally cooled down for now in Southern CA.  It was over 110 for several days; but the high today says it was only 81.  Wow!  What a difference.  

I create cards for my sister, Alice, that she gives to her friends with her own poems that she creates.  I also create some of the same or similar cards for me.  I have lost track of which ones are her cards and which ones are mine; but I am trying to post some of them.  I love clean and simple cards.  I love to color with Copic markers; but I also enjoy not having to color at all.    

Instructions for how to create this card:  This is an easy A2 card; which is 4.25 x 5.50 in size.  The 3 pieces are approx. 1 inch for the 2 smaller pieces and 2 inch for the bigger one in the middle.  My border piece at the top is a little over 1 x 4 inches; but you could size it whatever you wanted.  Look for something to add where the heart is at the top.  I looked for sentiments I wanted to use and then found the oval die cuts to fit the sentiment.  You can use one die or layer them as I did.  I hope you enjoy my card and use this information to create your own cards.  My instruction videos are too long, due to my arthritis in my hands.  I prefer to create them and then show them.  Lol!

Hello - All Occasion Card

Hello friends!  I hope you are having time to do something you love; or spending time with family.  Family is very important and I am hopeful that we will be able to travel to visit more of them next year.  I think I can only handle one trip a year.  It was very stressful even with my husband driving the entire trip to FL in May.

I had hoped to travel to MO this fall; because I have a new adorable Great Grandson; whom I would love to meet.  It was 4 yrs before I was able to meet my Great Granddaughter in FL; so I really don't want that many years to go by again.

I created several cards using this gorgeous set or digital papers and clip art.  I loved creating these cards.  This card is one I created for my sister Alice to send to her friends.  I love coloring; but sometimes you just need a break from it all.  Lol!
