Happy Birthday Kim - 2017

This card was made for my BFF Kim for her birthday. She loved Janice's card last year so I used that one as my guide, but had to change it up some because of my rule of only duplicating cards at Christmas.

Supplies:
Papers: Neenah, Bazill, SU Night of Navy, DCWV Hippie, The Paper Studio, Recollections
Stamps: Recollections, SU Garden Greetings
Accessories: Cuttlebug, SU happy die, homemade acrylic dots, bling
Inks: Memories
Techniques: paper piecing

Happy Birthday Rock Star

I made this card for a friend that used to play drums in a band (much younger days). The funny thing about him being a drummer, I used to play drums as well. I never learned the trap though. I cut the drums out with my Cricut and used this flashy blue hologram paper in the background. He said this was the neatest card he had ever received.

Supplies:
Papers: Neenah, Bazzill, Recollections, holographic paper from Dollar Tree
Accessories: Cricut, Quarter Note cartridge, SU sun ray die, Spellbinders die
Stamps: Studio G, pop dots
Ink: Memories

Christmas Wishes - card for 2016

Every other year (or as close to that as I can get), I try to make and send Christmas cards. This is the exception to my rule of not normally making duplicates of any one card. At Christmas, I ONLY make one card but everyone that is on my list (card receiving list of course) gets the same card. I started these elf shoe cards at least 4 years back. They were very time intensive due to all the parts. I have to do theme cards so the pictures of me and the dogs or dog can "match". I am pretty traditional when I decide to do something.  We ran out of daylight. I just loved how these turned out.

I found my elf dress at Ross for a heck-of-a-price and it was perfect. All the sweaters or dresses I had found before were not perfect to me. I found an elf hat at Party City a few years back and ordered the reversible Santa/elf dog bandana as well as purchased an elf hat for Hank. He loved the bandana but did not like the hat what-so-ever. Every year, my Christmas pictures with the dog(s) is always by the water. Just this year, you can't see the water like normal.
