A Fun Card 7.18.14

 I used Lawn Fawn's Love You S'More and Critters in the Forest stamps and dies. I used Sizzix's Royal Stand-Ups die for the card base. Inside the card is a stamp and diecut of a S'More. I told my husband that he was the Graham Crackers of my s'more!

I hope you enjoyed this card!  I had so much fun making it!

Tribute to Gus Gus 5.22.14

My little Gus Gus 

lost his battle with a bad heart valve. With lots of love and great Vet care he lived longer than any expected. This card I made as a tribute to him and as a gift of thanks for the Vets that cared for him.

 Here is my favorite photo of him!

This is the card that I made......

The cute little dog stamp is "Tail Wagger" Unity for Bella Blvd. I thought it look so much like Gus Gus.

Thanks for looking!!!!

I hope you like this card. Have a Happy Easter!

Unity FWF 12.20.13

Just one of many Christmas cards. 

Unity FWF - 11.22.13

This is a birthday card for my granddaughter, Kyla. Can you tell that the flourishes pop-up when you open the card?
I have had a couple of questions about how I made this pop-up so I will link you up with the Sizzix-Karen Burniston designed die!

Unity FWF 11.15.13

I used Karen Burniston's A2 die with circle label 3-D Pop N Cut insert and her Love Set Sizzlet to make this card. My stamp is Phyllis Harris' Autumn Joy.

It Is Crystal Clear Now!

This is a birthday card for my niece. I wanted to try using a transparency with Karen Burniston's Accordian Flip Album and Frame and Label Dies. I love this technique. I used Maggie Holmes Collection for Crate Paper. I also used Tim Holtz's Simple Sayings stamp (Happy Birthday and label) and Stazon "Azure" ink.

Unity's Itty Bitty Challenge - Day 5 - Friday

This is the Best Witches Itty Bitty with the inside sentiment from an old Itty Bitty. I am not sure if you can tell that the spider is on a transparent web from Karen Burniston's Spider and Spiderweb 3-D (Pop-Up). I also cut the bats, owl tree and pumpkin from Tim Holtz's "Halloween Shadows" decorative strip die. I love interactive cards! The paper is Echo Park's "Chillingsworth Manor".

For this label I used Hero Arts for Sizzix Stamp and Die-Cut with Tim Holtz Stampers' Anonymous Simple Sayings and Mememto Ink 

Rich Cocoa. The paper and embellies are Basic Grey's Nook and Pantry Collection.

I used Karen Burniston's Zig Zag Pop-Up and Flagpole w/Lantern & Sign by Sizzix. The bunting is Pennants by Lifestyle Crafts.

Our anniversary and the card for my husband! FWF 7.18.13

My husband is a golfer (oh really?). So to tie in the number to the golf cart (Silhouette) I added the word score underneath - is the number a score or the number of years we have been married? Too obtuse?

Inside: I love my new Pull Tag Frame, Scallop 3-D by Karen Burniston for Sizzix. I added a couple of sentiments inside and our photo. Plus a sentiment on the top - all Unity, of course.

You can see how it looks as you pull the tab!

Pop N Cuts - Anniversary

This is a fun card for my daughter and son-on-law's anniversary. The pp is Maggie Holmes for Crate Paper. I love this new line and want to use it for everything yet hoard it at the same time. Am I alone in this paper craze? All of the ephemera is from this collection.  The die is Karen Burniston's by Sizzix. "Happy Anniversary" is from K&Company's Smash collection, the twine is from my stash!

Unity FWF - Graduation Card 5-15-13

My daughter needed a graduation card for a girlfriend. I just got a Heidi Swapp Sugar Chic paper pad and thought I would use that! The stamps are Unity's Phyllis Harris "Your Wings Exist" and "Brave Girl". I used Copics, Memento Rich Cocoa ink and Ranger Distress Ink. I also used Karen Burniston's Pop N Cuts die by Sizzix.

Thanks for stopping by!!!

(I tried posting this from my iPad, the first version with no camera and limited photo capabilities, and the photo did not register with the "Linky". The Linky will not let me post it again. Any suggestions?)

EASTER!

I love my Pop N Cuts die! I used Karen Burniston's brand new die that will be out in June. I used Tim Holtz's Mini Bunny & Bow set, Sizzlet Grass decorative strip, Sizzix embossing folder, Stephanie Bernard's Easter Framelits & Stamps, QuicKutz Nesting Label, Spellbinder's clouds, Silhouette's Happy Easter, Echo Park paper "Little Girl", inks and cardstock from stash.

Cards for Guys

My three brothers-in-law have birthdays during the first 10 days of April so I use this time to explore the more masculine patterned paper and card designs. Okay, I used this design because I couldn't wait to try the Double High 3D Accordion Album  -  see this "How To" - Double High Accordion Album

(I am determined to learn how to make a link out of a URL and how to make a watermark!)

You have got to love Karen Burniston!  She is a  genius!

The first two are made with Echo Parks This & That Charming by Lori Whitlock.

The last one is October Afternoon's Sassaparilla.

I love learning new techniques! Enjoy!

Sizzix I Spy Saturday

Here is a card that I made using Karen Burniston's new Pop N Cuts card base. I used the circle inset and the matching sizzlit Love Set. The front sentiment is Stampin' Up and I used the Stampin' Up matching punch with Distress Ink Tea Dye. The patterned paper is probably Stampin' Up.

Another FWF

I love my Pop N Cuts! The stamped image is Unity Stamp Co's KOM Aug. 2009 Follow My Heart. The patterned paper is Yours Truly by Echo Park. Ink is Memento and Copics. 

Friends With Flair Feb.1, 2013
