Happy Birthday Dr. Seuss

His birthday isn't until March 2, but there is a great Dr. Seuss theme challenge #204 at  Die Cutting Diva's.  I took this free clipart image and quote keeping it CAS for my card.  However, you must use a die cut, so I made his hat into an svg...that added a little whimsy plus adding pop-ups for dimension.

A2, copics, star brads, pop-ups for dimension

I forgot to add the shadowing before taking most of the pics which is why you only see one with the shadowing. I made several  to send to family and friends.  It made me feel happy while making it and that was a hard task since I have been so sick.  If you want the svg, which is in Silhouette Studio form, just email me (under my profile) and I'll send.  Do not ask for it here because it does not give me your email.

Just another angle

Moms Wear Many Hats

         The card was made for a Mother's Day card swap at Svgcuts.com.  My theme: "The many hats that moms wear".   I attempted to give it a foyer appearance.  I made all the svgs in Inkscape except for the purse (Paula's Boutique) and the flower (My Happy Garden Hideaway) collections purchased from Svgcuts.com and the wonderful table is by Paulo at Scale-Files. (You can't see the gold handles in the picture.) Download HERE (hat rack), the nurse's cap HERE, and the chef's hat  HERE.  There is some embossing and glitter on the purse and hat, but it's hard to see in the picture.  I hope you enjoyed looking.

FARM Theme (Card Swap)

      I participated in my first card swap at svgcuts.com.  I was so excited that I joined 2 strings, so I had to create 2 different cards.  We had to use a "farm" theme.  I used elements from the cute Grandpa's Organic Farm Collection  and Crafty Mice Set . I designed my own farmer's hat for the male mouse in Inkscape, as well as the straw and basket for the watermelons. (Download HERE) for the hat and straw svgs for mouse and barn.  (Download HERE) for the basket, straw and hat .scut file that is used with SCAL2.  The second card is a slider card. I must say, I had a fun time! Come and join in on the fun!

Stamps for watermelon and "saying" are from "Fresh from the Farm".  Charlie Horse and "saying" were from the Charlie Horse Collection.  Both can be purchased at  cleardollarstamps .
