By the Seaside

This is a combination of a new stamp, and some cricut cuts. The sun is from Doodlecharms, the waves are from Plantin Schoolbook, and the boat is from New Arrival. It is for my husband's step-father, so I included his initials on the sail!!

Inspired by Donna Mundinger and Kazz!

I get a lot of ideas looking at the Cricut message-board...and this card is no exception. Donna has a lovely Christmas card on her blog, where she has stamped a snowflake on acetate....and Kazz out a picture on the messageboard of an easel card with the hibiscus cut from the Storybook cartridge. I merged the two elements, and this is the result! The pink frame is cut from Stretch your Imagination.

Bat Mitzvah

A friend asked me to make her a Bat Mitzvah Card (up until then I had only heard of Bar Mitzvah..excuse my ignornace!)

I sought advice, and was told that the Star of David from the Joys of the Season cartridge would be appropriate, and that good colours would be blue and silver. I used Opposites Attract for the lettering, which I welded together in Design Studio. The silver frame is from Stretch your imagination.

Hoppy Father's Day

Another side-stair-step! The frog is from Paisley, "DAD" is from Mickey Font, and the other lettering is from Plantin Schoolbook.

Happy Birthday Ryan

This was my first side-stair-step card. The child is from A Child's Year, and so is the lettering.

Golfing Teddy...especially for Lynne!!

What can I tell you?? Lynne has been harassing me about putting more cards on my blog, so in an obedient fashion here we go!!!!

This is made with a lovely stamp that I thought would be perfect for Fathers Day cards. I coloured it with watercolour pencils, and then de-bossed the white circles with the Swiss Dots folder in an attempt to make them look like golf balls!

The letters are cut from Plantin Schoolbook.

Have a nice day Lynne!!

Scottie Dogs

I just love this stamp that I bought at a show today. I embossed it in black and then in white, and embossed the backing card with the Swiss Dots cuttlebug folder.
