A fun get well card

I just loved this stamp as soon as I saw it.  It's just the cutest with the little glass and tissue box, and his little legs with slippered feet hanging off the side.  What's not to love.  I know I'd smile if I recieved this. hmm is that sounding conceited?  I hope not, I just love this stamp.   I just had to make the picture bigger so that you could really see the stamp

 

Rainy Days and Late nights make for more cards.

I really like that when I'm bored or can't sleep, I always have my cards to fall back on.  Here's what I've come up with recently.

On this card I colored the stamp, then cut it out.  The inside isn't quite finished yet.  I need to think of the sentiment I want on the inside.  A birthday one of course.  It is matted the same as the front with a wine glass in the lower right hand corner.

With this card, I've been dreaming of summer and summer fun, which of course includes BBQ'ing.  So this is an invitation to a BBQ.  Sorry about the lighting, was the wee hours of the morning.

This card was super fun to make.  Good 'ole snail mail, it's still good for some things, like mailing cards. ha ha. 

This is just a real quick birthday card but I like them.

And one for the soldiers

New Card

Well hi there everyone.  I know it's been awhile, things have been hectic around here.  I've made a few cards, but they've just been very simple, until now.  A dear friend of mine (Jeannie Philips) made a card awhile ago, and I just loved it.  So this is my version/take on it.  I think this card is my new favorite.  It was so much fun to make and has so much dimension.  It just makes me smile.   Ok enough chit chat, here it is:

New Techniques I've been trying out.. and a few regular cards I've made lately.

Sometimes you've just got to try something new.  I've been having a lot of fun trying these new techniques.  I really like the stained glass and the spinner.  After making the spinner card I played with it all night.  ha ha.  It really doesn't take very much to amuse me does it.  Ok here they are not in any particular order..

This is a card I originally made for easter, but after making it I realized it would be great for so many different occasions, so I made the same front, with 2 different sentiments inside.

This is the stained glass card.  It is so pretty in person.  I LOVE this technique.  The butterfly image is popped off the page.  This card has alot of depth to it.

Ok, so on this card, I tried my hand at making my own embossing folder.  It took me a few tries.  I thought I finally had it, then realized I had to flip the words.  ha ha.  Oh well, the end result is nice.  I'm going to have to try doing more of these, if I can find some blank folders that are reasonably priced.

This is the spinner card.  How fun are these?  You flip the card side to side and the little fishy flips back and forth across the page.

This card I tried "flocking" for the first time.  For those of you that don't know, flocking gives it a felt like texture.  I really like this card.  I don't like the picture though because it doesn't really show very well.  I flocked the girl in purple.  It is not as dark as it appears in the photo.

This card I'm not real sure about.  Sometimes I like it, sometimes I don't.  I think I am going to flock the deer in the next ones.

This card was alot of fun to make. It is my first flower pot pocket card.  Well my first pocket card of any kind.  I like how it turned out.  Other than the snail.  I am working on that.

This is my first little girl card.  No new techniques, just felt like making one.

Well, that's it for this post.  Hope you enjoy the cards.

Peachy Keen Stamps Challenge #24

Ok, so I've never entered one of these.  But thought I'd give it a shot.  I love their stamps.  If you've never been to their site, you should go check it out.  Here's the Link   Peachy Keen Stamps They have the cutest stamps.  For this card I used Peachy Keen Stamp PK-240 Say it with flowers.  I like how it turned out.

I posted this card below too.  I was going to use it as a Mothers Day card.  But decided to leave it as a note card, because there could just be so many uses for it. 

Ok, I loaded the other sunset card

I made this one into a sympathy card.  I really like how it turned out.  I wasn't sure at first, being as dark as it is.  But after staring at it for awhile, I like it.  I like to make these when I don't need them.  Not fun cards to make when you have to make them.  I saw these stamps (sentiments) and just had to have this sympathy set.  I love this sentiment.
