Monthly Madness May 2020!

Hello!  In May, I always do cards for men so that if anyone needs Father's Day cards, they will have them and if not, they can always be used for birthdays or other occasions.  Men cards are the hardest to make.  One reason is that you don't have as many choices of stamps or even papers.  I ran into this issue.  I like to have papers that really match the stamps I am using.  In the end, it looks like there was no problem at all, but that was not the case as I was trying to create them.  This month I went with straight cards, not fun folds.  Men, you know, don't always get it...lol!  I really do love all of them, and I hope you do too!  Enjoy!

Can't go wrong with man's best friend ...

 Love the fox with his hammer ...

 Fishing Dave!

 The paper is actually much more blue than green, but sometimes scans don't reflect correctly.

My favorite... And no not every man owns a tractor but I think every man would secretly like to own a tractor!  LOL!

 Inside panel will get added horizontally.  Forgot to flip the photo for this blog.

In my stash I found this paper with cassette tapes on it, so perfect to match a Taylored Expressions stamp set.  What is cool about the cassette tape image is that you can write in a personalized message. 

And last but last least, my bonus card, always a design that is extra cutesy!

As always, you get 2 card kits of each of the 5 designs, plus the bonus card, made by me, all for only $35!  $30 + $5 shipping!  Be sure to let me know that you want a kit.

I have been wanting to do a Facebook Live and thought last month's grad card would be the perfect card to show you how to make it live.  But, I found I didn't have everything I needed to video it. I had to do an online order.  I know a lot of you might have already created the grad card, but if you haven't I think I am tentatively planning on Thursday evening.  Check out Facebook posts if you are interested at Tina's Monthly Madness!

Stay well, stay safe, and order kits!  
Happy Stamping!

Monthly Madness April 2020!

Hello!  Since today is Easter, I first want to wish everyone a blessed Easter.  Even though we cannot be with others during this time, we can still celebrate Easter.  This month's kits give you a variety of hopefully needed cards.  I listened to your requests on my Facebook page.  Let's just say it is a hodge podge this month!  There is thinking of you, miss you, thank you, get well and graduation!  I love them all, I hope you do too!  Enjoy!

First up, is a fun thank you card using sequin fabric!
   

  Here is a close up of the sequins you or the recipient can go the opposite way.  Fun! 

And the inside...

Next, my favorite fun fold card of all time.  When you have pretty paper that coordinates, you must find a card to show it off ...

Card closed ...

 And then opened ...

 Another photo to show the Spring sentiment!

Now for Miss You ... Again, all about the paper!

And the inside ... 

This is the best graduation card, so I had to do it again.  I taught it in a class in 2012, and I have also sold some thru Facebook a couple of years ago.  

 You learn how to make the tassel, a magnet holds it closed and there is a pocket for cash or a gift card! Here is the open view ...

Get Well is the next theme ...

And last but not least, here is the bonus card ...

Let me know if you want a kit this month!  Only $35 including shipping!

Happy Stamping!

Monthly Madness March 2020!

Hello!  I hope everyone is safe and healthy during this trying time in our country.  Last month I was thinking it might be nice to do a set of encouragement type cards, but then I realized that Easter cards had to come first, so that is what you got for the last kit.  A week ago, I went back to my idea of encouragement type cards and was thinking maybe a couple of them could be faith based.  As the week went on and more and more restrictions came with the virus, I found myself doing more faith based cards than I planned.  I have always collected "word" stamps and it seems my collection of faith based "word" stamps is also big.  lol!  Anyway, I think right now with what is going on, this set of cards will be helpful to send to a friend or loved one to remind them to keep the faith.  Also, a couple of the cards would also be perfect sympathy or get well cards if you need those.  I hope you like them ... enjoy!

Hard to see in photo, but I did some vellum on front so you can still see the paper behind!  And the inside ... 

I have had the faith die for a year, so glad I got to use it!

This next one is one I thought could either be just a pretty spring card or one perfect for a sympathy card or get well.

I have a lot of great verse stamps.  I love this one ...

This next one has a fun fold.  Also, I stamped a butterfly on the circle, but it is hard to see in the photo...

See how only the middle section raises?  Easy Peasy but cool! 

And then here is the bonus card ... Yes, I did something besides a cute critter! (Just for this month...lol!)

If you have been getting my kits every month, I will plan on you getting this one too!  Just send me your payment when you can. ($35) If for some reason you don't want this month's kit, then please let me know.

Keep the Faith!

Happy Stamping!

Monthly Madness February 2020!

Hello!  Well, I am really late now.  I got off track in December to make my own cards and make a baby book.  Thought I would get caught up in January, but that did not happen as the January kits went out a week ago and then ... I got the flu!  But, I am back among the living and my February samples are made and prepping has begun!  On a good note, February theme is Easter, so I am actually early, as Easter is not until April 12th.  Let me show you my cards, so cute ... enjoy!

I have more bunny stamps than one person should own, but I couldn't resist this set from Lawn Fawn!

 Cute little lamb ...

Every Easter has a pretty cross card ... 

Even though the image is lilies, it seems inspirational to me ...

Peeps ... cute enough to eat ... well, not eat, but send!

My bonus card IF I can get kits done and in the mail in a timely manner, otherwise, the bonus card I guess, will be a surprise!

Let me know right away, if you are not already signed up in getting my kits, as I wouldn't want anyone to be left out on getting Easter card kits!

Happy Stamping!

Monthly Madness January 2020!

Hello!  I am back with my first month of 2020 samples.  Yes, I know I am late this month.  But, I am going to do my best to get the card kits out around the first of February to get me back on track.  December got me behind with making my own Christmas cards and making a baby book, from scratch!  On a good note, January's theme is birthday, so there is no deadline for you.  Let's get right to the cards ... enjoy!

First, is a fun cupcake card with a sweet surprise inside ...

And here is the pop up box when opened ...

Next, is a card for the "over the hill" people.  I thought it was appropriate to add since I am well aware of people that will turn 60 in 2020 ...like me!

 This card would be perfect for just about anyone, not just children.  So sweet, I love it!

 Then we have to have a guy birthday one ...

I decided to add a belated birthday card because even though you have cards ready to send, sometimes you miss a couple, and now you will be ready for that too! 

And last but not least, my bonus card...

The amount of the monthly kits are the same.  $35 ($30 + $5 shipping).  You get 2 each of 5 designs plus the bonus card!  Everyone will get a bonus card this month to start the year off right and then if you do consecutive months, you will continue to get the bonus card!

Let me know right away if you want this birthday kit.  I am going to start cutting paper today!

Happy Stamping!
