July Stray Duckling Blog Waddle - Summer

Hello again! Welcome to another inspirational Blog Waddle by the Stray Ducklings of Central Illinois!

This month's theme is anything that means summer to us. For me, it's birthdays! We have SOOO many birthdays in June, July, August and September...June 28th, youngest granddaughter, July 11th, my oldest granddaughter, July 12th- my oldest son, July 18th, my husband, July 28th my youngest son, July 29th my grandson. My dad's birthday was also on July 29th. August 3rd, my brother-in-law, August 13th another grandson, August 24th, my daughter-in-law and in September on the 7th and 13th - 2 more grandsons. Wow!

So I'm going to show you some birthday cards that I have made for various grandchildren, children, and acquaintances.

Here is the first one: A little Puffin and tie Die... made with the delightful 2021 in-colors of Polished Pink and Fresh Freesia.

The second card, I actually sent to my aunt who turned 92 in May. I just wanted to remind her that she is still a spring chicken!

The third card is a fun fold flip card and using one of my favoirte stamp sets and punches - sweet ice cream!

I want to show you is one I made for my 5 year old granddaughter. It's a diamond pop-up card and believe it or not, she was impressed...warning - I used a retired stamp set.

The last card is what I made for my 9 year old granddaughter. My first pet was a turtle...his name was Wiggles. Here's to you Wiggles and Maelyn!

Well, that's about it. Hope you enjoyed my endless summer birthday cards. Youe next hop will be to Nancy Legate

February 2021 Stray Duckling Blog Waddle - Love is in the Air!

Hello all!

Welcome to your monthly inspiration from the Stray Ducklings! This month we are all about romance and love - Hello Valentines Day!

I'm really excited to show you what I've been up to. You may or may not know that I have been cleaning out my stamp room. I'm getting some new furniture to organize everything. Of course I have lots of old stuff and one of the things I ran across was a valentine card that I made at the start of my love of Stampin'Up. Now when I became a demonstrator I didn't know ANYTHING! So I watched lots of videos and took classes. I made this card from one of the video's I watched. I don't remember whose this is; it was either Dawn Griffith or Angie Juda - those were the only 2 who really had video's back in the day, before YouTube took off. So here is the original card:

It's called a Diamond Pop-Up Card....and I can't stop making them! Here are the two Valentines that I made:

I'm going to make a video on how to make these little darling cards, so stay tuned! For now I have a free PDF for you to download. It's a differently decorated card, but it shows you how to cut and score this card. Here is the card with the instructions: Click on the image to access the PDF.

Another Valentine that I made was inspired by my Stray Duckling group - Mystery Card Monday. This is called an arrow card and I used the True Love Designer series paper and the Heart Punch Pack as well as the Ornate Floral 3-D embossing folder. Here is that card:
