Comments
In the last few weeks, my comments have been short and sweet, if I got a chance to make any at all. I have done a few DT posts in advance though.
The reason, is my darling hubby of 59 years is receiving chemotherapy. I won't go into details, but I felt you needed an explanation for my absence and lack of comments.
Please pray for him.
Thank you.

Create your own background TMR
Hi Everyone, my card today is for
I had a card to make for our neighbour, so went looking through stamps and my digi stamps and found Ted. I've used him a couple of times, and cased one of my cards here, our neighbour loves his garden, it was for his 82nd birthday.
I took Fred into Silhouette and cut him 3 times, the background twice, in case I made an error, you know I hate fussy cutting! I coloured the background in DI's, adding a few bushes in the garden, then some grass and sky. All layered onto a die cut circle. Ted was coloured, and the 3 layers glued together and added to the background.

CCC Fun Pigeon
Hi Everyone, my DT card today is for -
I had this stamp sitting on my desk for over a week, deciding what to do with him. I looked online for some ideas and found a saying, which meant I went straight to the stamp knowing what to do, the longest time was making the envelope and framed saying.
I stamped him on a piece of card I had in my scraps box, then decided on a different for me, generic background. Next, I stamped the "dots" and used DI's in masculine autumnal colours to blend over them. He was coloured in the same colours apart from his crop. I used 3D glaze for his beak and eyes and white pen for the cere, I didn't know the name of it, so I looked it up! I then stamped some birds to keep him company. He was attached to red card and onto the base card, that I had stamped with the sentiment.
Seeing as he is a homing pigeon, I added the envelope and message he brought home. The envelope and saying was done with Silhouette, printed then cut and scored. I then placed the saying inside the envelope and attached it to the card. His eyes were then 3D glazed.

Hi Everyone, my card today is for
I really had to gather images for this subject, but in the end I'm quite pleased with the result. I found backgrounds that went together. I found a digi stamp and a relevant cut file with the letter C for my son's name. His birthday is in a few days, he won't see this as he doesn't view my blog, he loves Space games, so it had to be for him. Well, I think it's OK for a 49 year old. 😉 I've been good and not added his age this year. I wonder if he’ll notice.
I planned the design in Design Space in Silhouette, I added the sentiment with a font that I thought were "space" shape letters. Next I print and cut everything.
I coloured the spaceman and planet with DI's, and added silver glitter pen to the tank, helmet, stripes, and belt. Then added 3D glaze to the visor of his helmet and the single planet. I also added it to parts of the rocket, stars, and the blast.
Then glued everything together.

A lovely subject, which I'm sure we all love. I have numerous flower stamps, but I went for an old one. I also wanted to use a new die and a new technique to me.
I stamped the flower twice on pieces of the same card, then coloured with DI's side by side, trying to copy one to the other. Next, I die cut a slatted square in the top piece and die cut it again, adding a scalloped edge. Then, I 3D attached the bottom piece, matching it to the top.
I found this sentiment in my files, copied from somewhere, which I printed and die cut to match the top layer. I also found a music file that I cut with the Silhouette, which I added to the edge of both the top pieces.

An apple and a crab! CCC
Hi Everyone, my DT card today is for -
I had designed this card design a couple of months ago and forgot about it, then came across it and decided it had to be made. I cut the apple and the crab from white 300gsm card and coloured them with markers. The colours are not good in the photo, but they are different reds with an orange. I then added and glossed their eyes. Next the joke was printed, that came from somewhere, using a fun font, and it was die cut. I added the apple and the crab with 3D stickers, as if the crab was holding the apple. They were then added to the base card.
You want to know the answer? You probably know it anyway. Here it is, the photo wasn't too good as it was taken in bright sunlight. I added the apple to the centre of the crab, then added a fun quote by me.
You may remember me saying about the magpie shooing our Green Woodpecker from the garden? Well, one of them has come back and keeps coming back, it makes us so happy to see him feeding well on the ants in the lawn. Here he is, not good photos, my phone isn't good at zooming with good quality, but it's a record for us.

These Green Woodpeckers were feeding on our lawn recently, just as I snapped them in a hurry, a magpie came in to shoo them away. I was mad, as the Dad usually stays about half an hour, and he brought his young to feed on OUR lawn, AW! I hope he brings it back again.

Daisies
Hi Everyone, I have had no interest in card making, probably due to the heat of the last week, and hubby not well. So I thought I would try doing something digital. It coincided with me hearing a friend has terminal cancer. I had to send her a card. I went digital with a few dies. I went looking for floral images and came across these beautiful daisies, they look like our Marguerite Daisy, that are coming into flower.
I took the image into Silhouette and print and cut it twice, then using navy cotton, I twined it around the top of the jar. Next I die cut a sentiment and a second layer, and painted them with matching inks, then used a fine liner pen to write over the sentiment. The cotton was tied in a bow through the sentiment die, so that it hung from the jar.
I was going to add the jar on its own, but having a background in the set of daisies, I printed two identical layers of it, and die cut one to layer them. But I think my old Grand Calibur is giving up the ghost, and it wouldn't cut it properly. So one layer was used, and I like the effect. I placed it centre and 3D'd the jar. I didn't add anything more. I felt it enough for a lovely lady who doesn't have long, I hope it cheers her up a little.

100th Birthday Bash CCC
Hi Everyone, my DT card today is for the -
Critter Crazy 100th Birthday Bash
With no mojo, I was struggling to make a card, so I went through my digital stamps to see if anything jumped out to me, and this is it. I love this birthday sheep. I printed and cut, with Silhouette, 2 layers of the sheep and the sentiment, onto multi use card, then coloured it with DI's.
I cut a piece of the same card to fit onto a 5x7inch base card, then blended the sky, and the grass, with DO's. Next, I used stencils for the grass and clouds. The clouds didn't work for me, but they are there, albeit faint, so I die cut some clouds and a sun. The sentiment was inked around the edge and then added to pink paper, can you guess this is for a female member of the family?
