Happy Happy Happy

This card is just like last Thursday's post on the outside. But, I changed the animal inside along with the sign.  Saying "happy happy happy" could be used besides a happy birthday card.  I'm having such a fun time with these pop-up dies from Elizabeth Craft, along with the animals.

Hamlet in the Planter Pull Card

First, I'm not happy the way my card turned out.  I love Hamlet the Pigwit in the Planter from From the Heart Stamps.  I also love the "pull card" effect and the paper, but the flowery paper and all the flowers in the planter are just too busy and fight each other.  I will try and pull apart...wish me luck.

The From the Heart Stamps May 2016 Challenge is progressive.  Use this adorable image, join the challenge and if all rules are followed, you will receive the next month's image free.

Hamlet in Planter - Miss You

I re-did this card.  It is posted on the From the Heart May Challenge, but disappointed in the way it turned out.  The flowers on the image and paper clashed, so I ripped it apart. So now I revamped Hamlet the Pigwit in the Planter and followed the sketch for the From the Heart Weekly Challenge #151.  Now I'm much happier.

A2, stitching, Jim Holtz sentiment, copics, Silhouette for cutting out image, pop-ups for dimension

Just a wee little note... (2nd post)

I wanted to enter two challenges: From the Heart Stamps #106 and From the Heart Stamps Monthly Challenge for April and needed some quick, fun, sweet "just a note" cards so I worked them all together in this creation.  I used the free image from the progressive challenge called Hamlet Pigwit Being Shy.

I "cased" my idea from Heather M, but used this week's sketch (see below). For my "own personal touch", I created the music note svg.

Boo

I've finished 4 Halloween cards this week.  This is the first time I've used Elizabeth Crafts Lots of Pops die.  I made something very similar in Silhouette Studio, but I must admit that using this die is a whole lot faster.

I'm using the adorable digi image from From The Heart Stamps.  Since I participated in the FTHS Progressive Challenge last month, this one was complimentary this month.  It's called Pumpkin Pig Wit and I'm in the FTHS August Challenge this month.

I also used the new die set "Spring Showers" from Lawn Fawn. I colored with copics and used the grass die from Die-namics.

A2, twine, pop-ups, circle punch, distressed ink for clouds and moon

Pumpkin Peep

How adorable is this Doodle Panty August Release image!!! We have a little pumpkin baby due in early October and this sweet image fit the bill for the card I wanted to create.  The set is called Pumpkin Peeks and also includes a panda bear, sentiments and digi papers.

Join in on our August Challenge just by using a Doodle Pantry image.  You will leave with lots of inspiration, a chance for a gift certificate to the store and Pumpkin Peeks, the free selected set just for your participation.  Doesn't get much better than that!

The Latest Dirt.....

(inside).....what's up at your digs?

Gosh....I just can't resist a good, silly pun every now and then. Being away for so long, I have lots of gossip...oops...I mean necessary information I'm needing to catch up on with friends I haven't spoken with lately.

I think this is pretty CAS.  I used the digital stamp Mud Pig from Doodle Pantry.  I also employed MFT's Wood Grain Fence, along with my own shovel svg.  Some stitching, pop-ups, distressing, copics, scrap paper from a friend and I call it done.  I promised myself I would mail both .... tomorrow!

I'm entering this in Link Up For Pink Challenge (use pink), the CDAC Progressive Challenge #21 (use this pig from Doodle Pantry and the monthly Doodle Pantry Challenge #28(use any image.)  Makes this girl happy!!!

I apologize for the bad lighting on these 2 cards
