Well it has been a really long time. I have been making cards for you to critique for me but I just haven't but them on the blog. Well that has to change so this morning I got up early and downloaded cards that I have made using my own ideas of course and will be putting them on the blog once again. Of course, I will be going on a cruise in a week but then watch out ladies and gentlemen because once again I will be on a mission to provide you with some ideas for card making.
Today I have a card I made for my husband's cousin who turned 80 years young.
I mounted 6 one inch squares onto brown card stock leaving a 1/4 in space in the middle. I then mounted the brown card stock to the card base. I took a rectangle of white card stock and stamped my sentiment and then mounted the white to more brown card stock leaving just a narrow strip of the brown showing. I then took and punched a 1 inch square from white card stock and used stickers for the 80 and mounted that onto more brown card stock leaving just a narrow strip of the brown showing. I centered the sentiment in the middle of the multicolored squares and offset the 80th square. I really like how this turned out. I want to thank StarAnne Bohl for the inspiration for this card. She sent me a card with the multicolored squares and I liked it so much I wanted to use a variation of it. Thanks Star.
Now for my second card. It could be used for just about anyone but I am sending it off to my nephew Troy for his birthday on the 29th so I am including it in my masculine card group.
I used a yellow card base and then took some Stampin Up Designer Paper from the Patio Party package and mounted a rectangle to blue card stock and mounted that to the card base. I stamped my sentiment on white card stock and punched it out with an oval punch. I used pop up dimensionals to mount the sentiment so that I had a little dimension on the card. It is still mailable without adding extra postage.
Well kind followers that is it for today. Thanks for following my blog and please leave a comment

Hi Pam - welcome back. I did email quite a while back to see how you were doing. So glad to know you are well. I love both of these cards. The first I love the layout and then the second, I love those banners. Enjoy your cruise and look forward to seeing more when you get back. Hugs, Karon.
