Happy Anniversary / Hapy Valentines Day

Hi Everyone!!!
YEA!!!! Got my PC fixed.....
I needed to update my browser to Google Chrome and had some other things tidied up too... I have the BEST PC guy.   VERY TRUST worthy....
So this is the post I've been wanting to do:

It's been WAY to long since I've posed anything... so today I though I better get back on the stick.
I saw a really cute Valentines Day card for a man a few days ago (now weeks) and wanted to try one with the things I already had.  Here's the card I saw...... isn't it just too cute??
Since I haven't made many shaker cards this was even more FUN to try....
Here we go.......

This is the front view of my try at of Amy Sheffer card.... This is my first shaker card in ages and rather pleased with it's out come. 

Here's a close up of the pole and line I used. The pole was longer so I just cut one section off and added the line and the little fishy too... it has some bling on it but you really can't see it too good.

This is the inside, I cut another heart and added my saying which I love.... Can't see it very will here so this is what it says;

It is the things in common that make relationships enjoyable, but  it's the little differences that make them interesting. 

Will what do you think?????
This is going to be my Anniversary card for my honey, we got married on a FRIDAY, Feb. 13. So we've always celebrated Valentines Day on the 13th a day early.....

Christmas Wreath

The last few days I've been playing with this beautiful stamp by Flourishes called Christmas Wreath, I've had this set for several years but I never used it.  Every year I'd pull it out and try stamping it then coloring it and it always looked ucky to me, I could never make it as pretty as I wanted or seen others do with it.  But then I saw Marybeth's used a nother wreath and it just looked like something I should try with this stamp I have... so I kepted it and want to share both Marybeth's version and mine.
So here's my try at it......

I colored one with a red bow and the other green...

All I had to do is use Versa Mark and Gold embossing and then just a little coloring... it was so easy this way.   I could not believe I was trying to make it into such a big thing.

Here's a closer look.............

and I kept the inside simple too, there was a small wreath in the set so I used that and then a saying from another Flourishes set called Winter berries.

The base card I used is NEW to me card stock that a Blogger that I watch daily uses and after talking with her about it I had to get some.... Go to The Spotted Chick and at the bottom of her post on the Nov. 10th you'll see:  ENVIRONMENT Desert Storm Card Stock - 8 1/2 x 11 in 100 lb Cover Smooth 100% Recycled, order it right from there!!!

OH my Gosh is this stuff nice.... I love it!  Been looking for a nice heavey Krafty paper and this stuff is perfect, I hope you check it out.

Ho Ho Ho !!!!

This week I've been working on some Ho Ho Ho cards... made 12 all together, 4 from each sheet of pattern paper.  All the same layout but look but each has it's own look I think. So here we go.

This first pic is a close up so you can see how there made.

 

 

 This is the inside, I used half of the die cut from the front for the border on the inside.

 

this is the second one......

 

and here's the last one..... 

 

 

Even tho all are the same layout, I think they look different... Only used 2 stamps, the Ho Ho Ho is a CTMH called Santa's Greeting Holiday- M1028, and the inside is another CTMH set called Peace on Earth- D1243 an oldy but a goodie...

Let me know what you think I'd like to know!

Fabulous Flamingo

Today I need a card for a Dear Friend that lost her husband this year.  She's been feeling low when we talk so I wanted to send her something to make her Smile. 
Just received this stamp set by Reverse Confetti, it's been on BO for a while but remembered to check again and both the Die and Stamp set were in stock so....... here we are.

I made the water with my Creative Memories wavy cutter, haven't used this thing in YEARS, forgot I even had it, but it worked rather will I think.  I only used the Fabulous on the front with 1 of the Flamingos.

here you can see the layers......

....and the inside, did the same wave cut at the bottom and stamped the second Flomingo, then stamped the whole saying here.

Harv

First I want to Thank all of you that stop by to visit and leave comments... It's so nice to know people are out there watching :)

Todays card is a FUN guy card.... or he could be used for any Celabration. 
It's "Harv" by Art Impression, take a look and see what you think.....

Is he not just a Hoot!!!! For the border around the Wonky Rectangle I created a frame using stripped paper.  Saw this on Jenny Gropp's blog she even did a qucik How-to-viedo.  It's such a cute idea, I had to use it.  Now for Harv, he was So much FUN to color and the ballowns I used from another AI stamp set called 29 Again.

Here's a close up of the ballowns with the strings, you may not be able to tell but there's  Glossy Accents on them too....Just look at the face... he is just so cute!

and the inside... I used a pice of the stripped paper that I used for the frame for the front. The saying is a AI stamp too...
