Valentine's Day

With the death of my Grandmother and traveling for the funeral, my husband and I didn't celebrate Valentine's Day. So here is a card I made for him a couple of years ago.

I don't recall where any of the stamps/stickers came from except for the love which is from SU's "Wonderful Words I".

Dots

My most recent cards:

For all three cards the paper comes from Paper Studio's Back To Basics pack and the ribbon is from Target's $ Spot. The sentiment for the first card is SU's "Wonderful Words II", the second is from "Sincere Salutations" and the third is from "Small Script".

Pat's Birthday Card

This is the card I made for my step-father Pat's birthday. It was late, as usual, but...

I used SU's "Carved and Candlelit" for the cacti and Whirly-Twirly for the wind. For the wind I used Versamark and brown chalk. A small flower punch was used for the flowers and I used sandpaper for the dirt.

Zoo Cards II

Here are some more of the zoo cards I made for my SIL. I utilized my Cricut for these with the Zooballoo cartridge. All of the animals are cut out on DCWV cardstock. The hippo's sky is chalked and the grass is done with SU's Terrific Turf roller, and the water is created with the Cuttlebug S'vine Swirls embossing folder and cut to look like waves/ripples in the water. The two koala cards and the giraffe card all use SU's Bamboo II background stamp and Old Olive ink. The first of these cards uses either Green Galore or Garden Green for the base while the other is white on Old Olive. The giraffe card uses drywall tape (it's so perfect - it already has adhesive on it!!!) to try and allude to a zoo cage. I'm not sure it worked, but...

Zoo Cards

My SIL loves

jungle/safari animal themed things and so I made these cards for her for Christmas. I got these animal images in a SCS swap and don't recall who made them...which is too bad, because I'd love to get them now. If anyone knows, please let me know. I used my Bic markers, SU's scallop punch, brads and fringe yarn (I don't know if it has an actual name) and my Spellbinder Nesties. The lion card uses the SU roller "Tropical Turf" for the grass and the sky is chalked. The paper is a zoo pack I got at Hobby Lobby and/or DCWV. The first giraffe card's background is sponged with SU's Really Rust, Creamy Caramel and Chocolate Chip.
