Card - Treasures of the Heart

Today I have a kitty sleeping behind a potted plant with blue flowers for you. I used the sentiment Treasures of the Heart because the cat looked so peaceful sleeping half hidden behind the flowering bush.

I hope you have a peaceful day thinking about the treasures in your heart.

Have a wonderful day!

Card - AI Watercolor Tree, Bird, and Log

AI watercolor

Hello, I made a card out the watercolor I made from another of the Art Impressions tutorials. It was a fun one, but next time I will stamp the log farther down the paper as the perspective is a bit off unless the bird is rather large.


Have a great day and keep everything in perspective,

Inside Close-Up

Hello, its been a while. I've been busy with all sorts of things - a trip home, a trip to see my dad, visitors, tutoring, the horse, and making cards.

This particular card I made for my dad. We both like pop-ups and I got a Big Shot Plus and a Gingerbread Pop-up Die for Christmas. Therefore, it was time to make my dad a card.

Instead of making the house a gingerbread house, I made it a regular house and I made the snow drifts into bushes. I dressed up the gingerbread men as a couple. I think it came out cute, but best of all, my likes it.

Have a fun and happy day!

Card - Enjoy the Little Things

I had lots of green butterfly wings sitting on my desk and I thought they would be pretty in a wreath around the Anna Griffin Medallion. The medallion came with my mini minc foiling machine and after foiling the piece I colored it with alcohol markers. I die-cut a leaf shape and used it as a stencil then put the butterfly wings and antenna on top. Then I layered some leaves on top. I used foam tape under the medallion and stamped my sentiment on some acetate I had cut out with a scalloped edge die. Lastly I glued down three purple dots I made from beads.

Have a great day!
