Puppy Love

 
Amuse cardstock, Neena white cardstock, stamp
image and sentiment from Hot Off The Press Janie's
Furry Friends, Copic markers, Irresistible Pico
Embellisher, stitched dies, bling from my stash.
 
This card was CASED from a YouTube video I
saw by Jennifer McQuire. I loved the way she had recessed
part of the inlaid frames and wanted to try it.
 
This is the CUTEST stamp set! I fell in love
with it as soon as I saw it. There is nothing
that can make you feel more loved or feel better
than a cuddle and wet kiss from a dog. Makes me
miss my Sugar a lot.
You really can't tell from this picture, but the Pico
Embellisher is shiny like Glossy Accents, and
has a little sparkle to it also. It is on the hearts, the girls bow,
and on the word Love.
Just love the way it turned out.

Hello Deer


Side step card from Hot Off The Press, Woodland Beauties Dazzles
from Hot Off The Press. paper from my monthly Dazzles kit (not
sure of the name of it), and various Wink Of Stella pens.
 
I've been staying at my son's house watching his kids for the last
week while he took his wife on vacation for their 10th
Anniversary. They went to Colorado and posted lots of pictures
of Elk and Moose, and went on hikes. I thought this might be a perfect
card for them. I made it last week before I came to their house.
I thought I would have the kids sign it for them.
It has been fun, the kids and I have really enjoyed ourselves.
It did however take me back to the days of raising my own

If Friends Were Flowers

 
Amuse cardstock, designer papers from Hot Off The Press,
If Friends Were Flowers Dazzle stickers from Hot Off
The Press, Copic Markers, and bling from my stash.
 
This was another fun card to make. It was simple to make,
and can be used to send to a friend for any occasion.
I frequently need a multipurpose more generic

Happy Easter


Bazzill cardstock, Doodle Pantry digital paper,
Somebunny Loves You retired stamp set from TAC,
Silver Borders Dazzles from Hot Off The Press,
Copic Markers, Wink of Stella Pen.
 

 
This is one of the cards I made for my granddaughters for
Easter. The other is below. I have always loved this
stamp set from TAC, and it was so fun to color.
I added Wink of Stella to the eggs, bow, and
to the purple layering cardstock behind the basket.
I also tried inlaying the layered cardstock with the basket.
It was so fun to make, I hope they liked it.

Thank You


Amuse Card and Neena cardstock, Spellbinders oval dies,
Bazzill Flowers, Gina K Designs stamp sets Assorted
Greetings and You're My Favorite, Wink of Stella,
and bling from my stash.
 
I wanted to try making this Die-Cut Flap Closure Card that
I found on my DVD by Teresa Welch and Paper Wishes.
It is a Tri-Fold card and was easy to make once
I figured out how and where I wanted the
the flap to be. I like the end result, and it stretched me
to create a pink card that I seem to struggle with making.

Birthday Princess

 
Bazzill cardstock, Digital Paper from Doodle Pantry,
My-Besties stamp "Sparkle" by Sherri Baldy,
Die-Namics pierced stacking rectangles,
Copic Markers, Wink of Stella pen,
Glossy Accents.
 
My granddaughters both have birthdays coming up in
April and May. I thought this was a perfect stamp for
them because they both love princesses, glamour and glitter.
It is hard to see the Wink of Stella pen on the screen,
but it is on the crown, her bracelets, star wand, and
bows on her shoes. Her eyes, shoes, crown gems and
star have glossy accents. It was so fun to make and
gave me a chance to practice my coloring.
I think the girls will love it.

Gratitude

Copic cardstock, designer papers from Bluebell paper pack by
Wild Rose Studio, stamp from Great Impressions,
ribbon from TAC Natalee set (retired),
bling from Zva Creative, spellbinders dies,
Wink of Stella glitter pen.
 
I love this paper combination! It is soft, spring looking, and says
gratitude to me. I wanted to enter a sketch
challenge and thought this would be perfect for
the Mojo Monday challenge.
You can't see the Wink of Stella too good on
the photo but in person it adds just the right touch.
