Puppy Card

Hi!  Thanks for coming to my blog.  I hope you enjoy the card I made this week.  I used a non-SU! image to color and I colored the dog with Copics.  But SU! Blendabilities would work great with this too!!

I braided three strands of Baker's Twine - Early Espresso, Cherry Cobbler & Bermuda Bay.  It took a while because the twine was on the thinner side.  I will never braid twine again, unless it is thicker!

SU! Supplies:
Stamp for sentiment - A Dozen Thoughts
Cardstock - Real Red, Whisper White, Soft Sky, (ret.) Storytime DSP
Ink - Real Red
Accessories -   Alphabet Press embossing folder, scalloped tag topper punch, Early Espresso, Cherry Cobbler & Bermuda Bay baker's twine

The design of the card is from one of the instructors of Online Copic Cardmaker's Class.
Copics:  E43, 44, 47; R00, 02,22; Y02, 15; 0-blending pen.
SU! Blendabilities I would use in place of these are Cherry Cobbler, Daffodil Delight & Crumb Cake sets, Color Lifter marker.

Don't Worry, Be Happy - tomorrow is Friday!

May VC Rocks Card Swaps

This was for the Get Well/Sympathy swap.  I will miss you, Puns from the Past stamps!

Ebony and Ivory swap - that really is Whisper White & Basic Gray.

The embossing folders for the Big Shot are so easy to use and add so much to a card.

Kindness for the Floral swap.  I used the new Stampin' Up! triple flower punches.

For the Sugar and Spice swap, I pulled out my Heat & Stick powder and my Irridescent Ice.

I love, love, love Tiny Tags!  So cute, easy to punch and adds that little something extra.

For the fancy folds swap, I did a simple gate fold card.  There's that triple punch flower again.

Here it is opened.

I hope you liked these cards.  Tomorrow I will add more of my swap cards. 

Until then, happy stampin'!

Fall Scrapbooking Swap

These elements are for the Hot Swappin' Mamas 2 swapping group.  The theme for the swap is fall. 

I loved using the Big Shot die cut and the embossing folders to make these textured leaves.

 For this last chipboard leaf I used the heavy cardboard that came with this year's Valentine's specialty paper.  I'm sure it was to keep the glittered pieces all glittered and straight.  It is just as thick as the actual chipboard Stampin' Up sells.  I am so proud of myself for recycling.   Who knows, I might have saved a tree! (...or a branch...or a twig...)
