Polka Dot Bella Slider Card

I really like non-tradional colors for Valentines, but I had a weak moment, and made a few of these slider cards to send to some friends.  I used this same format a few days back but using a different image.  What a precious puppy!  He/She is called Polka Dot Bella by Sassy Cheryl and can be found at Paper Creators.  It even comes pre-colored.

A2, Sentiment is from Clear Dollar Stamps that is no longer in business

Inside: You are such a dear friend!

Sending our love (2nd post)

Time to pull out my wonderful House Mouse Ultimate CD collection.  I used a partial image from the set called "Celebration".  This actually came pre-colored.  I'm entering my card in the House Mouse Challenge #234 - LOVE.

When I saw  Donna's card using the Stacked Heart die, I knew I would like to add it to my collection, but with time and money being an issue, I went into Silhouette Studio and made my  own rendition.

I made several. This is for our youngest son, Mitchell....of course with a bag of candy and a little gift card to one of his favorite eateries.

Sending....

...love and hugs

"Sending" is another new die from Simon Says Stamp.  I pretty much cased a Simon Says Stamp card by a DT member but no name was given.  Don't have my mojo back so casing some cards really helps.  Love this adorable stamp from Inky Antics.

These came together quickly, so I made several for my emergency stash.

A2, photographing white has never been my forte

simple inside to go with my note with grey shadowing on bottom

Look Mom..No Ears! (Plus..LOVE card)

"Before" the cut

My little shipoos love to gnaw on each other .... to the point their ears get terribly matted.  I usually do all their grooming but they were at the "point of no return".  The groomer had to shave their ears.  They look like they don't have any ears.  Well, at least, they can gnaw on each other's ears to their heart's content....haha

"After" the cut

The second item "up for business" is the second card I did with the LOVE word cut file from Bird's Cards.  A wonderful, quick and easy freebie file.

5x5, stitching, ribbon, heart charm, fern punch, pop-ups for dimension

LOVE word

CAS is how I would define this card which appealed to me the moment I saw it at Bird's Cards.  It is a freebie cut file.  The only thing I changed from the example is me adding some embellishments...just don't think it needed anything else.  I did two of these in different papers.  I'll show one today.

5" square, fern punch, DCWV paper, charm, ribbon, stitching embossing folder

Ewe warm my heart

or....
ewe are such a good friend
ewe have such a big heart

Yup, I used my window and wavy crimper again.   I'm going out on a limb and saying this was a free svg from Treasure Box Designs from about a year ago.  There was no watermark on it. It was quick and easy to cut. The grass, ivy and windows were leftovers from other projects...I love it when I can grab a "leftover" and use.

A2 size, stitching, flower punch, ivy tendrils die by Poppystamps with little hearts covering the ivy

Faith, Hope, Love

NEW RELEASE DAY

at

Bugaboo Stamps

         I'm loving the new series of Scenes and Make It Snappy images from Jodie at Bugaboo Stamps.  This card was mailed to my new In-law's in memory of a special sister.  I'm blessed with wonderful in-laws.

          I used 2 techniques and perhaps I should had just stuck with one.  The bottom flower is cut-out and adhered with pop-ups for dimension and the top rose is spotlighted.  You will enjoy checking out the other cards at Catch The Bug.

Scaredy Cat - 2 Challenges - Freebie

First, thank you for all the wonderful well wishes notes.  All that out pouring of "get well soon" was a good dose of tasty medicine. Not quite back up to par, but I'm getting there.

The "scaredy cat" image was a freebie from  Delightful Inspirations since I participated in last weeks challenge and it's for their challenge this week.  It's also for Designed 2 Delight  OWH (Double Delight) Challenge.  Some restrictions are: keep an A2 size, no glitter, and use the image for Delightful Inspirations.  I added the scarecrow and  pumpkin patch images from Trina Clark.  I sewed, used copic markers and added brads.  I will add my sentiment on the inside. (I attempted to make the clouds look cloudy and creepy.)

The "love you" in sign language I have had quite a while.  Amanda (Lady Wolf) had it also and I helped her by clean it up when she was first learning Inkscape.  She is a PRO now....drop by her blog for some great svgs.  Well, I cleaned this up a little more to my liking last night.  I had 2 deaf and 2 blind students in my last few years of teaching high school....all wonderful students.
