HB2U

Look at those eyes...six of them looking at you to wish HB2U! I do not usually googly eye but for this occasion it was fitting.
Those big bug eyes, how much more humerous can that be?!

Coloring the inage with copic markers, adding a star, googly eyes, acrylic dots and HB2U finishes the card.

Staching through the snow

Oh my, I saw this Scribble's http://buyscribblesdesigns.blogspot.com/
stamp and knew I was going to make a card with it. My sister Julie HATES (that is a very strong word in our family) moustache cards. I was clearance shopping at Michaels and saw these "staching through the snow" stickers that went perfectly with the digi stamp!! Guess who is not going to get this card....JULIE!!

I colored each animal with a fantastic moustache. Adding paper and snowflakes along with the sticker makes this a "stashtastic" card!!

Fabulous Five

Well, sock it to Bugaboo who is FIVE!! Bugaboo's Tuesday challenge is a color challenge..almost all the colors of the rainbow. They sure know how to PARTY!!




http://catchthebugblog.blogspot.com/2015/01/bugaboo-stamps-5th-birthday-tuesday.html



I chose the sock monkey. They have a special place in my heart. When my first grandson was born, that is what his father gave him. Everytime I see a sock monkey, I think of Riley. I added the #5 as it is Bugaboo's Fabulous Fifth Birthday!!

Beautiful

I wanted to send my daughter in law a card letting her know how awesome she is as a mother and how much I appreciate her role in the cycle of life...giving me my precious grandsons.


I saw Hazel's card from My Card Attic http://www.mycardattic.co.uk/ and knew I wanted to CASE it! She is such a talented artist and her cards are masterpieces. Hazel makes the most beautiful clean and simple style cards! She makes the cards look so easy to make with beautiful results everytime. If you are not a follower of My Card Attic, I would sign up now!! I hope someday I will meet Hazel in person.


Here is my CASE'd card.

The blue represents the boys. It was dipped in Peacock Feathers DI. Beautiful was embossed in black and then cut in half...I was nervous to do this but the results are nice. The Beautiful sentiment is STAMPlorationstamplorations.com Bold Sentiments and this card should be added to their anything goes gallery.

Hello Foxy

I am telling you I have had so much fun making this card with the STAMPlorations http://stamplorations.blogspot.com/2015/01/bi-weekly-sketch-challenge-26.html
sketch.


The Cas(e) this Sketch sketchhttp://casethissketch.blogspot.com/2015/01/case-this-sketch-106.html
provided inspiration for this foxy card.




The STAMPlorations Holiday Artsy has a stamp that if you are as sly as a fox, could be used as a tail. This card's corner is a page marker for a book. I learned how to do this at Dawn's Stamping Studio. http://dawnsstampingthoughts.typepad.com/dawns_stampin_studio/2015/01/corner-book-mark-video-.html
Because I wanted the tail and the fox to be the same color, I used the dipping technique in Aged Mahogany DI. When the paper was almost dry, I folded it into the page marker because the paper is still pliable. I assembled the fox cut out of ovals. Hello foxy was embossed in black and the tail was added. Bling was added to finish the card.

Choo choo

I saw this doodle pantry digi stamp with the matching paper and had to use it! I wanted to create a card as busy as any child under five years old and most little boys love trains.
