Yorkie Birthday Card

This card I created for my mothers birthday. She has been a yorkie owner my whole life. This card was actually a lot of fun to make, and she absolutely loved it. The image is a stamp called Yorkshire Terrier Dog Rubber Stamp, Yorkie with Grocery Shopping Card, Sold by: Rubberhedgehog Rubber Stamps, you can find it on Amazon. The image was colored with a mix of colored pencils and gel pens. The image was stamped on a very light color designed paper, and both the image, and the background frame were cut with a die. The decorative papers in the background came from Michaels. The flowers were another die I used, however I used a thicker card stock, and honestly wasn't really that happy with them. I used some decorative pearls in the flowers and on the piece of ribbon. For the Happy Birthday saying I used my Silhouette and Silhouette pens, then cut it out by hand.
I've only been playing with stamping and card making for a couple months. I thoroughly enjoy it, and enjoy giving my family and friends something unique to them, that I hand crafted. I've spent a great deal of time, reading and learning from others, and am always seeking ways to learn more, to better myself, and my cards. My cards aren't perfect, but neither am I :-) I'm also new to blogging, but I wanted to put my cards out there for others to see, so that maybe they can get some ideas too.

Sympathy cards

I created these cards after I had received the very sad news that my best friends grandfather had passed away. (I really dislike that saying, I prefer "has gone to the other side". My BFF and her grandmother are heart broken right now, so any prayers you could send their way would be very much appreciated ❤️ Cards made with white cardstock that I used an embossing folder. Added two pieces of translucent ribbon. Used my butterfly die with pink and white cardstock and the other card I used green and white cardstock. The embellishments are also white cardstock, cut with dies. The sympathy quote I did with my silhouette machine and pens, then cut it out with a die.💔 *Sorry about the typo errors that were in this. I originally typed it up on my phone, late at night.

Thinking of you card - Santoro Gorjuss Stamp Ladybird

Yay it's Thursday!!! For most it's just the day before Friday, but for me it IS my Friday!!! This has been a long work week, so I'm glad to see it come to an end. Okay now onto this Thinking of You card I created. I used my Santoro Gorjuss Stamp - Ladybird. I stamped her onto white cardstock and then colored her in with colored pencils. I also used a black gel pen for the dots on her dress and her shoes. After I completed her coloring I hand cut her out (razor blade). I also decided to cut out the outer layer of her dress and used a glitter yellow cardstock in its place. I secured it together with double sided tape. The background papers are both from a pad of scrapbook paper from Michaels. I've had it so long, and have used it so much, that I no longer have the cover, so I can't tell you which pad it came from. One I cut the full size of the card, and the second I just did a wide strip. I then added a medium width silk ribbon. It's been in a drawer for a...

No Worries Card

So shark week is coming to an end. It is something that myself and husband watch every year, and thoroughly enjoy. I found the above image on Pinterest and decided it would make a GREAT card to celebrate the end of shark week. I colored her in with Copics, Blick Studio Markers, and Gel Pens. I cut her out with a die I purchased from Wish.com, the flower is also a die from Wish.com. The papers, and sentiment came from Coastal Premium Stack cardstock. This is a beautiful pad of cardstock that I highly recommend. I purchased it at Michaels. Copics were used on skin- E000, E00, E93 Happy Crafting ~Chantel~
