Snappy Birthday

Back to working on some shaker cards - I enjoy making these and Mr. Crabby is one of my favorites.  They'll go in the pile for future mailings.  They're fast and easy to make.   Thanks for looking!

 

Joy

Working ahead for the heroes for next year.  I had trouble finding shiny gold cardstock in the local store but found one 12x12 sheet underneath some glitter papers on my shelf.  I used an old die and whipped these up.  After I ran out of gold, I used up a scrap of shiny silver paper.  These are already in their clear plastic envelopes to send off next year.  

 

Christmas Doors

Fortunately, I don't have a lot of Christmas cards to send out this year.  I used this die set from Concord & 9th to make these.  They actually came together pretty quickly and I really enjoyed making them, even all the gluing!  I sprayed some of the doors with Tim Holtz mica spray and then realized it was rubbing off on my hands, so I hit them with a good coating of hairspray.  I cut the ornaments from shiny red paper and used glitter white for the snow on the windows.  

 

Purr-fect Day

The purr-fect day around here would be rain, hard to believe I'm saying that tho!

I stamped these with my Misti, they needed several stampings to get the black looking nice and crisp.  Might be time to ink up my ink pad....  I colored some of the bowties with a red marker and mounted the image on a red background.  The stamp is called "Hipster Cats" and is from Technique Junkies. 

 

 

 

Woof!

I know I've used this dog die before.  I was going through paper stacks and came across some that just yelled out they needed the dog die.  So I fished out the paw print die, cut out a few of those and assembled the dogs and voila, I couldn't stop at one or two.  

World Card Making Day

I forgot about World Card Making Day!  I actually did these over the entire weekend, not just on that day.  I was rooting through my paper pile and found the Mickey paper, so those were easy and quick.  The smiley faces were pretty easy too, although I did manage to get out some embossing powder for a change of pace.  The dog paper was just staring at me also, and so those were some more quickies.  All in all, I was happy with the weekend's production.  I hope you all (Carol - LOL!!) enjoyed World Card Making Day too!
 

Brownies

I was watching a lot of videos on youtube the other day and was inspired to use my distress oxides and brushes.  I made the backgrounds and then spent a day mulling over what to do next.  I finally pulled out the little brownies, unmarked, unmounted stamps that I've had for years and years.  Then it was just a matter of finding some appropriate branches and flower stamps to frame them with.  I had so much fun that I made 6.
