i'm thinking of you

Today I tried something new for me, it's a very clean and simple design that I've been seeing on Maile Belles blog.  Take a look at this beautiful card Maile did it's the 4th on down, and then see how I tried it.

I tried to get the same colors going and do like this combo.  the stamps are an OLD SU set called True Friend. and the paper is also Old SU called Fall Flowers, the button is just an old button I had in a jar.

When I cut the striped paper I secured that flat on the card base, but the white piece I popped up using a sheet of Sticky Back Foam sheets, boy is stuff works great!!!! 

Here you can see the saying I created on my PC and then cut using MFT die and then sliced it long ways and popped both pieces up. It's funny how it's white on white but with it being popped up it really shows up.

and here's the inside where I used another MFT flag die and sliced it too.  I had to make it match right??

Will let me know what you think and be sure to visit Maile's blog! She does Beautiful work.  I know I'll be tyring more of her style!

Sick BUG.......

Will this is my last get well card for a while ...... this one is a poor little bug that looks like he/she is really under the weather.  I layered him up on a few different color card stock the popped up the top of each piece and glued the bottom flat... I got the idea from Just 4 Fun blog by Jennifer, she is a Copic queen, I'm not sure how I found her since I don't even own one Copic pen but I'm glad I have... from what I can tell she likes to use layers at odd angles... either her cards are bigger than A2 or I need to keep trying.

this view show some of the layers I talked about... can you see how the bottom of each panel is taped flat but the tops are popped up... will maybe in the next one.......

and this is the inside... I used Wink of Stella from the top left corner to the bottom right and all over the jar too.... not sure if you can see it but it's cute in person.

As Bad as I LOOK.........

Here's another Get Well card that will bring a smile to your face I hope!

I just love this stamp set... I added the floor tiles and line up the middle so it looked like a wall.  The stamp is by Rubbernecker called Edna in Moring 562-06, and the saying is call Bad as I look 563-04. Had to get them both, right???? 

this side view lets you see that I popped up the red background paper as will as the stamped image and saying. For the background paper I used something new for me to pop it up, Sticky back foam sheets there 6x9 and 2mm thick...it came in a pack of 40 sheets and multi-color pack.  Next time I go to Joann's or Hobby Lobby I'm going to see if  it comes in packs of white only... I had see a few gals using the fun foam sheets to pop up there work so I had to try it... and I must say I LOVE it.  It cuts just like paper and you can use it with your dies too. 

Here's the inside, I just used the leftover of yellow to make a border... no saying yet, I'll wait till I know who and what it's for first.

WOYWW & Baby Nipples

UP-DATE TO THIS POST
This did not work for me.... I would not trying it at all....  ..
 
Hi Girls,
Happy  WOYWW're.... It's been a while since I've posted but had the time and though I would catch up a bit.... Can't wait to see everyone posts!!!!
A while back I saw a post were a gal was using baby nipples on the ends of glue bottles and they would not get stopped up.... Here's that post.  You have to watch it......
Will I tried it and here are the 2 glues I used, both of the original caps were split and I had taped them to keep them from drying out;

I liked how it worked with the regular white glue, it did keep the little bit of glue in the whole till you picked it off and was able to use the glue and form a thin line of glue or use the nipple to move it around with the and when it dried it just comes right off.  

But the ZIP glue was a different story all together.... I could not get a bead to stay on the whole so the next day the whole nipple would be dried out, now the glue did come right off  no problem, I tried it 2 more times and the same think happened... so I put my split cap with the tape back on.  I then tried to wright to the gale on the video but never got an answer, guess she was tired of people like me asking questions... but I really wanted to make this work. 

I'll keep using the nipple for my regular glue thow... love how easy it is to use and clean too. 

If anyone else has tried this and knows the answer to the zip glue please let me know. 

Now off I go to check on as many as I can.... hope to see your post!

Ruff Time

I'm really on a roll for these Get Well cards.... I never seam to have one when I need it....
Today's is a Double;

First I made the purple card and just did not like it... to much going on for me..... so I went in the other direction all white for the second card and I like that much better. But I'm going to keep them both I know there both be cute for someone.

The little pooch is from a SU-Wellness Wishes/115356 and the saying is by MFT-Puppy Girl. 

I used the Fun Foam on the back to pop up the layers and tie some baker twin around with a bow.  

I think you can see the layers better in this pic.  Yes he's kind of plan but I like him....

and here's my purple pooch... same stamp set and the saying came with it.  

here you can see how I have the pooch and the saying popped up and a peek of the inside too....

the inside I left blank again... used the die cuts leftover from the front for the inside.

Poppies....

I should have posed this around Valentines but some how it slipped by.... I had the pic ready to post even thow I already gave the card to my Mom...
Here we go;
Mom LOVE's Poppies and needless to say she really Loved her card........

I did not have a TRUE red... now how could that be you ask....will I though it was RED but when I started coloring it just looked pinkie to me but I kept adding and this was as red as I could make them.  

I stamped & colored them twice because I wanted to pop some of them up after fuss cutting them.  

The stamp is by Inkadinkado called "Poppies" H97896, the embossing folder is Sizzix-Loving Thoughts-657667, and the die is Spellbinders Lattice S4-210.  

here you can see the poppies popped up a little, as will as the Lattice die. 

the inside I stamped the a bamboo color and cut the border using Lattice S4-218. and stamped a short verse about Money and Chocolate.... two of Mom's favorites topics. 

She had a good laugh at the verse and loved the card too... she still has it sitting out in fact.
