Celebrate card

This card was made with my Crafters Companion die cut set entitled "Floral Dance".  I really love it because the petals stick up.  I was lucky enough to find this die set and other Crafters Companion ones at Tuesday Morning recently. I colored the petals with zig brush markers and added sequins in the middle of the big flowers.  Please let me know your thoughts on this card.  Have a great day!

The "Celebrate" stamp is from Close to My Heart - "Birthday Celebration".  

Stamp set from CTMH - "Birthday Celebration"

The borders are also from Crafters Companion and are from a pack of borders called "Decorative Edge Set".

Grateful for You card

This card was created with patterned paper and a simple flower die cut.  I also die cut the label and stamped the sentiment.  I just love the Fall colors.  A very simple card to make though.

Dog card

I just bought this funky stamp set with the dog and wondered when I would get a chance to use it. This seemed the perfect time to cheer someone up. I think my craft angel helped me with this one as it just seemed to come together on its own! LOL  Sure hope it cheers his day up a bit.

I cut the bow tie out in the matching cardstock and added some dimension to the vest with liquid pearls.  

The stamp set is called CAT/DOG from Ranger :

Snowmen cards

This snowman is adorable and from Our Daily Bread.  It's called "Country Snowman" and it's a stamp/die cut.    I further fussy cut the hat and the scarf to add a bit of dimension.  Then I played around with different patterned paper for different looks.  I think the first one is my favorite.  I added Stickles for the bottom snow part.

Spellbinders die card

I bought some Spellbinder border dies (Scalloped Borders) a long time ago and for some reason, I'm just now getting to use them.  They really are pretty and I know I will be using them a lot more in the future.  I also used Our Daily Bread frames  (Ornate Ovals) for the frame.  The "Hello" is also from Our Daily Bread (???? I think).  LOL  The embossing part was given to me so I don't know the name of it.  So glad I finally used it though!

Of course I got the idea from a card I saw on Pinterest but turned it around and made it my own.

Anchor Card

Another card for Cards for Soldiers Program.  This stamp is from the Gina K "My Anchor" set and so is the sentiment.  

Flower Birthday Card

The flower background was sent to me from a fellow crafter.  I added the labels from Our Daily Bread and some liquid pearls inside the flower center and stickles on the butterfly.  

House Mouse birthday card

This House Mouse stamp is called "Gouda Birthday" and it is so precious!  LOL

I had fun coloring it with my colored pencils and putting Stickles on the light for the candle.
I thought it would look too crowded to add a sentiment so I just added one inside.  

"Cards for Soldiers " scene card

I created this card from a Close to My Heart Stamp set.  The bird is from another set and so is the sentiment.  I used chalk for the coloring and a bit of colored pencils too.  

Scene card from Gina K

I created this card from a Gina K stamp set called "My Anchor".  I painted the picture with water color paints.

Embossed BEE card

Live Love Cards had a challenge with dry embossing so I made this card with two embossing folders from Darice.  The ribbon was in my stash and I hope added a bit of whimsy along with the bees and butterfly.

Spring card with flowers

I had so much fun making this car with Our Daily Bread frames.  They have a set of 5 frames in each package that I bought and I just love the details on them.  The butterfly is also a stamp/die from Our Daily Bread and comes in different sizes.  I chose the small one for this card and sparkled it up with some Stickles.  The flowers were premade from my old scrapbooking stash.  And this time I used a ribbon also to soften it up a bit.

Bird Card

This stamp is from Hobby Art and I just love the way the bird looks.  I used colored pencils and some Gamsol to blend the colors.  At the end I used Liquid Pearls to give the bird some texture and for the bird's eye too.  I have been trying to use more colored paper so when I found this leaf one - I thought it was the perfect background to go with the colors I chose in the bird.
