Happy Belated Birthday

You know for a card maker you would think I would remember to send cards... will not true!!
Here's one I made with that though in mind;

I used one of new Clean and Simple styles I found on Yep! you guessed it; Maile Belles blog.  It's the last one in this post she did.... mine is a little different but do love this quick and easy way to make cards.  I really like the buttons but after I had them on it really made the card too thick,,,,,sooooooo,,,next time I may try putting the buttons in with the HB by CTMH... the Paisley is from another old CTMH set called You've got Flair and then I just used colored pens to color it. 

here's a side view so you can see the layers better. Not sure if you can see it but I went around the white paper with a dark gray pen just to make it stand out more... 

And the inside, love this saying by Rubbernecker called -Cards on time....... 

Then I used the other half of the gray strip from the front of the card here on the inside taped down flat.

Two Sympathy Cards

I've been trying to make some cards ahead and never have Sympathy cards when I need them so here's two I have now, which I hope not to use any time soon.

The one on the left is very simple, card base is Desert by Neenah that I embossed with wood grain, added a piece of leafy print paper, then just the tag with a few words.

The card on the right I used the same Desert by Neenah for the card base then layered brown and white that I stamped with Cornish Heritage Farms stamp called Trees Backgrounder, added a strip of washie tape and glued string on each side of it, added the tag.

the inside I matched with the same papers and stamps I used on the fronts. And stamped the sayings by MFT.

Puppy Sympathy Card

Today I had to send a sympathy card to our neighbor who's dog passed on.... I just hate that.... Us Dog parents know the hole we have in our hearts when we lose our best friend.... So here's the card I made for them.

For the outside I used some doggie paper I had and stamped the saying on the flag. I know it's busy for a sympathy card but I wanted them to be able to smile when they see it. 

and on the inside I added a strip of the same doggie papers I had and printed the saying on my PC.. 

That's it.

Hope it warms there harts some.

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.
