  • Hello Panda


    A fun panda in a pocket card backed w/ some pretty monochromatic paper & using some lovely scalloped frames. With the different frames, it looks like you worked really hard, but it’s really easy & not much coloring. 

    It’s my turn to host the Inspiration Challenge on Splitcoast (IC948) and we’re visiting Doodle & Stitch & their Pinterest Board where I found THIS cute picture.

    After stamping, lightly coloring & die cutting the panda & pocket, I die cut the white frame & the designer paper using two of the outside scallop frame dies. The grey frame was die cut w/ an inside scallop die. I really like how they fit & work together. I used a peach card stock for the pocket, but couldn’t find a larger piece for the narrow border under the monochromatic paper, so I used a Copic marker to color just the border that would show.

    The panda & the pocket were popped up just a bit since the edges go over the gray frame. Two hearts were die cut (but not stamped) out of the same paper & added on the pocket.
    Here are the Copics I used (sorry it’s blurry..the colors are C2, C3, R20 & R22).

  • Love Heart One


    A sweet Valentine or wedding/anniversary card made with the opposite (left over) pieces of Love Heart Two. I used the same die cuts plus a piercing, quilted look die on the white topper.  Some added pearls give it a little extra elegance.

    Even though the Love Heart Two posted first, this is the actual first card. Since I die cut all the pieces twice, once out of white & another out of the sweet designer paper, I found I could make two cards at once. Related, but not identical; sort of like fraternal twins. Don’t you love it when you can make a two-for-one?

    This is also for my Inspiration Challenge (IC948) on Splitcoast & THIS is my inspiration.

    Like my other card, I die cut the heart, birds out of white & the designer paper, then pieced them together. The white top panel was die cut w/ a quilted look piercing die. I attached flat back pearls in places where the diamonds came together. A tiny heart punch was used to add the pink heart in the center of the O in Love.

  • Dog is Fave


    A snarky fun Valentine featuring a cute mixed Dalmatian puppy, dog house, lots of stitched hearts & some pretty black and white paper to back it all up.

    It’s my turn to host the Featured Stamper Challenge (FS885) so a big congrats to Cindy! She has a wonderful gallery & I chose THIS card to case. I kept the Dalmatian & red, white, black colors, but used dies instead of images, turned mine vertical & made it a somewhat snarky Valentine.

    After die cutting the dog, hearts & dog house, I colored the white dog to look like a Dalmatian mix which resembles one of my dogs. I die cut the designer paper & a white polaroid frame & stamped the greeting in the lower left corner.  Then I attached the dog house, dog & the white frame & added some various sizes of stitched hearts.

    The dog, doghouse & frame are all popped up a bit for dimension.

    Thanks so much for stopping by!
