Card - Pop-up House -Howdy

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!

Post Card to Color #2

I drew this postcard for fun and thought that you might like to print and color it. The top picture is how I colored the original and you're welcome to print and send it too.

Generally I print the front and back separately and after coloring, I glue them back to back. Don't use too much glue or it will buckle and possibly bleed. Put something heavy on top while it's drying to keep it flat.

Also, if anyone prints it on a laser printer and foils the design, link a picture in the comments.

Have a beautiful day!

Card - When Pigs Fly

When Pigs Fly

When I first saw this Deep Red Piglet stamp, I wanted to make this card. Finally I was able to purchase this stamp and receive it, yay! I had previously bought the Wings stamp by Deep Red and they make a perfect pair. I stamped the piglet and the wings with StazOn ink and colored them, the card base, and the lettering with Derwent Inktense blocks. I dotted stickles around to simulate a cloud. The stickles sparkliness didn't show up in in the picture, but the sparkles look great in real life. I have not sent this card out yet; it is sitting on the shelf above my desk making me smile every time I look at it.

Have an uplifting day!
