Get Well...Hope you'll soon be fully RECOVERED

I'm revisiting and recreating this darling Art Impressions stamp U2394. ( I can no longer find it at the store so I think it is now retired.) My youngest Millennium son didn't get the pun.  In all fairness, you don't see many people recovering furniture this day and age.  This has become a throw away society.  I'll be sure to send this "get well" card to an older person.

The camera shots aren't that great.  There was a tropical storm going on and I was doing my best to take the photos outside....LOL

A2 size, copic inks, made RX in Silhouette Studio, pop-up dots
for dimension, machine stitching

female card, print and cut on Silhouette

Medication Label Warning!

The expression you can't get "blood out of a turnip" applies to me too.  Nurses just can't get blood out of me.  It too nurse No. 3 to get the blood...my poor hands and arm!  Anyhooo, "Doctor Appreciation" week is coming up soon (at least that is what I read in the Waiting Room.)  So, I made this card for Dr. Ezealah, who is trying to find what's wrong with me.  I left the office with a little less money in my wallet and a little less blood.

I bought this Art Impression Stamp Set from my local Michaels.  There is no title on the set. She was originally hold a glass of wine but I masked it and she's now holding a medicine bottle that I scanned from Lawn Fawn called Get Well.

A2, copics for coloring and lines on chair, stamped the pill bottle for background paper

Happy Birthday

TiMe ChAnGe - did you remember!!!

I have several friends who have March birthdays.  Yes ladies, you know who you are.  I'm making several different cards so you "just don't know" which card you are getting since I know you check my blog...haha

This very funny lady #4373 is from Art Impressions.  I love that they are now selling them on Amazon and Walmart.  I colored her with copics, but her dress was pieced using my Silhouette.  I followed Dawn at Stamp n Play, who prints extra pieces of the image to give depth and uses pop-ups for dimension...I did her hat.

Big hug waiting for you

My brother is gravely ill so I'm on a mission to send at least 2 cards a week.  I need to make more manly cards.  I never have one when I need it.

I totally cased Sue Kemet.  Her card was perfect in every way for what I wanted for my brother.  If you follow me, then you know this isn't the first time I have cased her...haha  I have several other friends I will be casing this weekend.  When you are in a hurry, casing a lovely, perfect card really saves time.  I think casing is respectful and tells/shows a person how talented they are by someone wanting to case.  And, I like to acknowledge their talent on my blog.

I used Ai Bear Hugs Set and birch tree die set from Impression Obsession, and Bear Hug Waiting sentiment from TLC  And YUP.... an action wobble  I cut everything out with my Cameo.

A2 vertical, grass die, stitching, copics for coloring.  My brother graduated from the Citadel so that is why I chose blue pants and bow tie...haha

Forget About Being the Early Bird.... (+ freebie)

Art Impression is having a "bird" challenge.  I used Birdie & Egg Carton. They have some fav stamps and crazy sentiments to boot. I was trying to make the chick a "Rhode Island Red" since that's where my DB and SIL live. I left head white just because I wanted to...haha

Don't forget to check back at Catch the Bug "Christmas in July Blog Hop" challenges that will be going on all week!  Lots of prizes and surprises!

Challenges:
Art Impression - so me your bird

We miss you...... but having a ball. (+ freebie svg)

OMG.....When I saw this Art Impression (Girlfriends Work Out) stamp I HAD to have it....just perfect for the sentiment.  I have a group of girlfriends and invariably one of the girls can't "join in", so we always tease the girl that can't join in by using this little saying.   (PS - I had a ball coloring it!)

Copic markers, stitching, 1" circle punch, 1.12" cut on Cricut Expression

I planned to use the simple little dumbbells svg on the card, but at the last minute decided just to go with the balls.  No reason why I can't go ahead and share with you.  Enjoy!

Only Angel Food Cake will do.....

        You are so special only Angel Food Cake will do for a "FRIEND" like you!  Since I love red velvet cake I added ..."only red velvet angel food cake will do.....Hey...it's my cake!!!  The image is from Art Impressions which I'm entering in their challenge #2: Valentine Inspired.  I used 2 MS punches, copics, stitching, glitter, and buttons that were a special present.  I covered up the candles on cake when stamping in order to add hearts.  I think next time I will leave the candles and just add hearts as an embellishment somewhere else on the paper.  Another hearts theme challenge is Stamptacular Sunday , Alotarubberstamps and Totally Paper Crafts.

Flower Soft and Challenges

        I made a card similar to this about 4 days ago, but wanted to improve upon it and meet the ribbon requirements for my first Art Impression challenge.  I also added  just a tad of "flower soft" along with the ribbon, border svg from Svgcuts set called Celeste's Cutesy Corners, trellis stamp from Art Impressions and wisteria and vine stamps from Rubber StampTapestry I added a close-up hoping you could see my flower soft....first time using it.  I'm also entering this in the Sew Many Cards and Alotarubberstamps challenge.
