Birthday Bear

Greetings,

I have a really simple card to share today.   I used a confetti embossing folder on the pink cardstock.    It doesn't photograph very well, but it adds the perfect amount of texture to the back of this card.

Birthday Critters

Howdy friends,

I'm still on my rainbow kick.   I thought it would be fun to pair the letters stamped out in rainbow colors with the critters stamped in black ink.  I love the expressions on these little animals.  It makes me wonder what they are thinking about.   What do you think?  Should I be worried they are plotting something?

Giraffe Love

Hello friends, 

Giraffes are such funny lovable animals.  I love this image of these two hugging.  I left the front blank. I wasn't sure if I wanted to use this as a baby card or maybe a Mother's Day card.  What do you think? What sentiment would you put on it?

Red, White and Blue

Greetings,

Craft show season is coming and I'm starting to make some preparations.  I thought it would be a good idea to make some patriotic cards.  The birch press dies worked perfectly to incorporate red-white-blue themed backgrounds.  The remind me a little of fireworks. What do you think?

Dog-gone Hot

Hello Sunshine, 

This little doggie is from the SSS card kit.  I instantly fell in love these Frenchies.  This guy just looked like he was having a great day at the beach.   I used my copics to sketch in the water, sand and sky.   This is quickly becoming one of my favorite summer copic techniques.

Llama just say...

Hello all,

I hope you all had a wonderful weekend.  We had a heat wave here in NY.  It was in the 90's for the last few days.  Thankfully, it was a little cooler next to the lake.    It didn't put a damper on stamping and coloring.  It was just too hot.   Here is a card I made last week.  I couldn't resist jumping on the llama bandwagon.  They are pretty cute.

What's Moo with you?

Cow's it going?

I made a few of these cards playing around with the placement of colors and ribbon.  One cow has a little more "white" in his muzzle.  The other one is more gray.  I couldn't decide which ribbon I liked better, so I did one with each.  What do you like best?
