Herd you Mooved card

A dear friend of mine has mooved from her home to a condo--so, of course, I had to make a card for the occasion! The cows are from Paper Doll Dress Ups, grass and fence are from Pooh & Friends, "herd you" is welded and cut from Nursery Rhymes, and "mooved" is welded and cut from Botanicals. The lettering was glittered with fruit punch and yellow stickles. The clouds were free hand cut stencils made to look like cow spots and colored with a SU white craft pad.

This was such a fun card to make, and my friend just loved it!

Fall Birthday

Here is a fall birthday card made with both Cricut and Cuttlebug. "Happy Birthday" is cut with Opposites Attract. I need to use this font more often. The pumpkins are from Pooh & Friends, and I think the leaves are too.

The orange square with embossed pumpkins is done with a cuttlebug folder and highlighted with orange ink.

I just love plaid for fall cards. I wish I could have a mat stack full of fall plaids. They are the first to get used up from my paper stash.

Gypsy Challenge due Oct. 1, 2010

This is my entry for the new gypsy challenge. We were to make a holiday card, and since my sister's birthday is on Halloween, I was also able to get her card made while participating in the challenge! Yay!

Challenge requirements: Two pieces of art, min. of 1 word, min. of 1 weld, 1 squeeze, 1 stretch, & min. of 3 cartridges.

Cartridges used:

Jasmine -- "thday" (welded)

Just Because Cards -- "happy"

PDDU -- Ghost & tombstone (squeezed/stretched)

Pooh & Friends -- grass

Storybook -- orange printed background paper

Walk in My Garden -- sign

Wild Card -- "Boo"

I used Tim Holtz distress stamp pad to do some shading on the tombstone, as well as the background shape. I used a Sharpie to highlight the ghost and tombstone, too. The sign is from WIMG, and I just snipped off the post part of it. It is hard to see, but the 3 dew drops on the bottom right corner are amber and purple.

I have to say that I love designing on my gypsy!

Tilda--missing you

I love the Tilda stamps by Magnolia. This one has an adorable puppy. At the time I made this card last year, we had a "new" beagle puppy, so I tried to color the pup similarly to our new little Daisy Mae. The tree in the background is from Pooh & Friends, and the sentiment is cut from Stamping. I also used the MS loopy punch for the green layer under the tree.

Halloween birthday

My sister's birthday is on Halloween. I made this card for her in 2008. It uses many Cricut cuts: Paper Doll Dress ups - black cats, fence & bats; Pooh & Friends - pumpkins, grass, & moon; the trees are also Cricut, but I can't remember from which cartridge. I also ran the fence thru my Cuttlebug to give it some texture.
