Tri-flold Easl Birthday Card

Hi All!!
Today I'm posting a card I made for my Hubby's BD..... I really struggled with this one for some reason...and I'm still not to happy with it... I think it's the Grass on the inside and out.....
This is the 3rd try on this too... but anyway this is it for me on this card... I may just set it aside and make a different one for him....
Here's the front.

and this is a view of the inside stright on..... see the front in the back ground????

This is the view from one side... see the yucky grasssss.... and the 3 trees on the frist fold, then the buck on the second fold and the front of the card on the third fold.....

and the view from the other side....

here I'm laying the first 2 folds flat so it can be closed....

and here's the front folded back in place so it can be closed... it will lay flat for an enevelop but I left it puffed up so you can see the bends...
I'm going to try another one of these just not for a week or two... I had to start over too many times on this one and will it leave alot to be desired.....
If you want to see a really GOOD example of this card here's the LINK to Pam Sparks BEAUTIFUL card and she has a video too... you really need to vist her site it's just so much Fun to see.

**NEW** Eat Cake Graphics Stamps

Hi Everyone!
Been out of town for a few weeks and trying to catch up on everything aroung home...
Before I left I order these Too Cute stamps from Eat Cake Graphics and they were waiting for me when I got home.... YEA ****  They sell them un-mounted as will as mounted but I started buying un-mounted and using Aleene's Tack-it over & Over
on the backs and it works beautifuly on my clear blocks... I love it.
Anyways here's the Cuties I got this time... mostly pooches but a few chicks too... and some cute words also....
I know you can't see the words to much but if you double click on the pic it gets big and you can read everything...  they are really cute..

Father's Day from Belle

Today I made a card for Belle to give her Daddy!!! Yes she's our Dog, but she's our little 4 legged daughter and she knows it too....
This card went together really fast for me, guess because it's just Fun to do..... I found this 6x6 pad of pet paper last year and just love all the color it has to it, the one I used here with the doggie prints on the hearts has glitter on the hearts but I don't think you can see it... all the words I did on the computer and just printed them out.... The little dog I made into a beagle like Belle, it's from a MFT pet set I found about a year ago too... just love that little pooch!


Here's the inside... hope I hit all the important things here......

Think I'll stamp a few dog prints on here yet... and maybe color the little pooch too....
I know Don will just love this, maybe I get a jar of nuts to go with this... they both LOVE nuts!

Manly #4 Train

Hi All!! Will I'm still trying to do some BD cards for men and I'm still struggling....
I love this stamp from SU.. I've had it for several years and used it just a few times....
Here I stamped it on Craft paper with a off white pigment ink and then used clear embossing over it....
After that I just sponged 3 different colors over it... I did the same the saying below...

Don't know why the color looks so wierd here..... I used the same paper as on the front of the card.... You'll have to trust me on that one. 
The inside I left simple and just did a border I use to make all the time...
It's made with a tab punch and just folded over on to itself, that makes the circles and I leave a border show... quick and easy!


Whan I stamped the train I did a few more so I'll work on those for a few days and try for another Manly card after that...
Oh and I need to make a Fathers Day card for Belle (our dog) to give to my hubby...I almost forgot about that...yeaks!!!  Maybe I'll do that first!

My 3rd Manly Birthday Card

Morning everyone!!!
I saw this card yesterday and just had to use the idea... here's the gals site that came up with this Too Cute card.
Didn't have the same stamps as she did but I still love the look.... so simple and clean!

Here's a closer look.....

and here you can see that I popped everything up off the card.

and the inside... I used an old CM punch for the border at the bottom but looks more like swiss cheese that bubbles to me...
So now that's 3 manly cards, yes I'm going to count this as manly for the Young at Heart!!!

Manly Birthday #2

Will I finished another one..... a little more to this one but still Manly...
When I stamped the boat and dock I put it toward the bottom of the paper... I wanted to try doing clouds like I've seen on so many other blogs... will I worked on several scraps and felt I had it down pretty good so I went for it on my boat piece.... Boy was I disapointed..... I sould have takin a pic of that before I put the die cut clouds over it.... YUCK.... Anyway I think I saved it.  
I diffently need to work on my clouds....

Here's a closer look of the layers of the clouds.....

and a different view......

and the inside.......
Still have several more to make so I better get going......
