This is the Valentine’s card for Offspring2.
I stamped and colored multiple cameras, to be die cut into a coffee cup. The basement lighting is not the best for photos.

Offspring2 is studying Visual Arts and Photography. Here is the card I made for his October birthday.
The film strip is one stamp, then I masked and added all the individual image stamps into each frame. And I held my breath while coloring….please please please no mistakes NOW!

This is the card I made for Offspring2 recently. I cannot believe 21 years have passed!
When I make birthday cards for the offspring, I really try to incorporate interests from the year that has passed. To squeeze all of that onto this card, I made it 10 1/2 inches tall! Hence the handmade envelope. I looked at a standard business envelope and went from there. (Why, yes, I do have a We R Memory Keepers Envelope Punch Board…but I didn’t want the envelope to have flaps like a regular rectangular card/invitation envelope, so I didn’t use it.)

I stamped a few extra images of this bicycle when it was out for the birthday card last week.
Using Heidi Swapp paper, I created a background and mounted the bike on the horizon line.

Someone I know has taken up cycling. Just by chance, I did have a small bicycle stamp in my collection (it is not exactly the RIGHT bike for the recipient, but…it is a bicycle!).

I stamped the chipmunk first, then created the scene around him (I have named him “Fred”).
I realized after this was all assembled that *perhaps* the tree was designed to be a fallen, horizontal tree for Fred to sit on. Fred says, “maybe next time”!
