*Kiss Me* Sweetheart

 

I was searching thru the Sweetheart Cartridge looking for a valentine idea to come to me!!!  I remember from childhood all those little single sheet valentines you use to get in elementary school and saw the slide card with envelope  (almost like a tag card) .  I just think the frog on this cart is so much fun so I incorporated it into my valentine.I used the KISS ME cut  and one of those famous clear dollar stamps that come in so handy when working on cards  with a little inking, doodling bling, and googly eyes I think it came out pretty good.  I cut the insert and envelop at 6" but needs to be cut at 53/4 to fit an invitation size envelope to mail out so its off to our local Halmark card shop to purchase some envelopes that I get in all sizes and colors for 3 cents a piece.  A good reason to do a little shopping I guess!!

Dougs Birthday Cards

Well it's my nephews birthday Jan 30.  I can remember him as a little guy and he is growing up so fast!!!  I seem to be getting a little behind on my birthday cards and had to make up these two pretty quick to get them in the mail to get to him in time for his big day.  Birthdays cant come fast enough for the youngsters!!!!  The first one i made I used stamp set from Reflections and made the bed from Everyday Paperdolls (has so many neat cuts on it will take forever to learn them all) and some cutouts that i have stored up thru time.  The inside i used the stamps and also my computer to generate the sentiment on the inside of the card.  The sentiment on the front came the the stamp set of the monsters.

This card I made up for my mom to send to him.  Mickey and Friends is always good for any age!!!  The sentiments are from a stamp collection i have had forever.  The inside is kinda small and says Blowing Birthday Wishes your way!!!!  He loves soccer and i had this little soccer ball left over from my granddaughters soccer album I have been working on.  I hope he enjoys his cards as much as I did working on them!!! 

A Childs Year Birthday

I am so excited to be able to work in my little room and I have so many birthdays to get cards out for!!! I was inspired by this one from Mary on U Tube and her video of the card she made using Card Feature on A Child's Year I decided to check it out!!! I added a little charm of my own!!!!! Thanks for looking!!!

Thanks A Hoot!!!!

Well I have boxes of 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 inch note cards form DCWV that I bought on clearance this holiday and last sales!!! I thought since I love these owls so much I would design up a little thank-you card and use up some scrap paper I have!! The scrap box seems to be growing so much it is now in two boxes and taking over the one corner of my scraproom.

CARTRIDGE USED: Paisley
(owl cut at 3" but black out cut at 2 3/4)

used sketch #1 fro Raq's weekly challange to use as a design for the card!!!

Want to give the other two a shot but you never know with me!!!

Toadily Yours

Well this cart has been really fun for me!!!  I guess I am tired of working Christmas reds and greens.  This little frogie is so cute and dozens of ways to use him keep flashing thru my head.  I am sure this wont be the last of this cut you all will see!!!  I fut the toadstool and frog at 31/4 and did inking and stickles and a little bit of doodling to my cuts.  I found some packs of the background paper on one of my trips to Bigot's.  The font I used was from Pooh and Friends Font Cartridge which i welded together in DS.  This will make a cute Valentine or Birthday Card when I get the inside finished!  I really have to replenish my Birthday stash as I have quite a few birthday wishes to send this Winter!!!   

Well I got the new Paisley Cart also for Christmas!!! What a fun little cart. It screams for bright colors and embossing to me!!! Seeing as how I need to replenish my Birthday stash I thought this would make a good start!! This card is a 5X7 and i pulled out my sewing machine to try my hand at a little stitching!! I cut the owl at 31/2 inches and he just layered up super. I have so many flowers that this card seem to find a home next to the owl. The Ribbon and the stamp i used I have had for I dont know how long to long to remember where it is from!!!!

Nick's Office Cards

Nick, my son, asked me to make a few Christmas cards to give to a few people in his office!!!  Of course I in all my calm unstressed life said sure!!  I thought i could give him a few of the ones I already made.  But he asked that i give him four of them that I hadn't posted because he was afraid someone would of already seen them!!!!! Then he asked me to wait to post them so no one would get a sneak peek!!!  I made four!!!  This one is the guy one!!

Used some pop dots to lift the deer on the card!!!  I Just got Christmas Noel this year and just love the cuts on this cart!!! 

The cards for the girls in his office got the swirly xmas tree which i was really looking forward to using!!!  I cut them out in four different layers so that they would pop off the card better and be a little better when handling the card.  Made them in three different color style papers !                                                                                                                        

I was somewhat pleased with the out come and would definitely make this card again!!!  I did do embossing in gold and matching colors for the sentiment on the cards!!  Made the the lettering stand out more than just stamping or using my computer for the sentiment at bottom of these cards!!  Colors are somewhat non traditional but hey I am a little like that myself!!!

Well I probably wont get in my little haven until after the holidays to create much!!!  Really need to make some New Years Resolutions so that I am not so stressed next year when Christmas rolls around!!!!  Have a Blessed Holiday Season  everyone!!!!
