Dream Big

Good morning! A new month means a new release from Doodle Pantry and what a great release it is! I played with Carousel Horse 4 which I coloured, cut out the mane, tail and ribbons to pop up. One of my sons (I won't say who...Steven) said its not very feminine but I like the colour combo quite a bit!

Romance

Good morning, today Doodle Pantry is sponsoring 2 Sisters Challenge Blog and their theme is Romance. Oddly enough I found creating this card very hard, I don't know why. Maybe its because I'm always making funny cards but I found this theme truly challenging, which I guess is good! I used Rose and Bud which is black and white and coloured it myself.

I love the corner dies with the hearts (or leaves depending on how you look at it).

Drop on by 2 Sisters Challenge Blog and give the challenge a try. You'll have a great romantic card and who knows you could win some stamps too!

A Trumpet Vine Congratulations

Happy December 1, which brings a new release from Doodle Pantry, only 24 sleeps until Christmas, and a Congratulations on Your Engagement card. What! My youngest son proposed to his girlfriend Samantha and this is the card I made for them. Congratulations Steven and Sam! It also happens to be one of Doodle Pantry's new release stamps the Trumpet Vine.

I sprayed the background paper with  smooch glitter and cut out the trumpet vine as well as popped it up. 

Its a gorgeous stamp great for any occasion, especially an engagement, lol. I'm so excited!

Happy Father's Day

This is the card I made for my Dad for Father's Day. He doesn't like to fish, hunt, golf, nothing really except keep the yard clear of weeds, read the paper and watch tv. So I got two of his three pass times into the card, sort of, lol!

I stamped the newspaper and the duck in the basket twice to pop them up. Other than that its pretty basic.

Poinsettia Greetings

Usually when a poinsettia comes into my house it goes eeeeek! and drops all of its leaves, lol! Sometimes I even have to buy another one just before Christmas because the first one looks so bad.

 BUT for some reason, and I am totally amazed by this, I received a poinsettia for Christmas AND its still gorgeous! Its April 2 and my poinsettia is not only alive (!) but still has most of its leaves and is red! So this amazing plant inspired me to create this card.

I embossed the background with Impression Obsession Holly, gorgeous.

I stamped the poinsettia three times and then cut out each layer.

 I always stamp the inside of my cards and back too. 

I LOVE Christmas, lol its never too early to make cards.
