Holiday Pop Up Card

Wow!!  Has it really been almost 3 months since I last posted??  Well with all the packing, moving and getting settled into our new home, I guess that's a good reason.  So I'm back now with a new card I made, and I must admit I haven't tried a pop-up card before so I hope you enjoy.  
Here is the front of my card.  
And here is the inside...
A close up of the bottom portion of the card...

I got the idea from Stamp TV tutorial and here is that link for you.  The reindeer I got from minkyb designs and was a free colored digi.  I used digi paper from Digi Scrap Depot found here.  I really hope you enjoy and try to make one of these type of cards.  That video really helped me, I guess I'm more of a visual person!!   Anyway...have a wonderful HOLIDAY and a HAPPY NEW YEAR!!  

Costume Party (Blog Hop) for SBC

Good Morning!  We are doing something a bit different for Sketches by Carly, there will still be a sketch to follow but we are also having a blog hop to showcase some images that our very own Jaqui has created.  She is the owner of The Digi Garden and she draws these cute images herself.  The image I chose to use is called Patches the Scarecrow!!  If you've arrived here from Julie's blog then you're on the right track, otherwise head back to Sketches by Carly blog and start there.  Here is the sketch for you to follow..

Your next stop on the hop is Kelly.  Be sure to stop by them all and leave some love and there just might be a freebie along the way!  Thanks for stopping by and have a super weekend!!

Sketches by Carly #64

Hello there!  I know I'm super late in posting this card.  I've been so busy with work and trying to sell our house, plus the Labor Day holiday that it's been hard to get to.  So here is my card for the new challenge over at Sketches by Carly.  Our sponsor for this challenge is our very own Kelly Little.  She is putting together a little package for one lucky player.  All you have to do is follow this sketch...

Thanks Carly for an amazing sketch..of course all your sketches are amazing!  You are a very talented young lady.  Keep up the good work *Ü*
Some of the DT have used Carly's digis.  Not only does she come up with the sketches, but she also is an amazing artist.  Carly has several digis to chose from so head on over to Carly's Cuties and take a look.  The one I chose to use is called Carly's Snowman!!  Very cute.
Be sure to stop by the Sketches by Carly blog and take a peek at the terrific projects the DT made, then go leave them some love.  Thanks!!

Sketches by Carly #63

Good morning!  I know I'm a little late at posting this but here it is.  This is for the new challenge over at Sketches by Carly!  Our sponsor is Sweet N Sassy Stamps and the image I chose to use is called  Sweet Cocoa  and isn't he a cutie.   The winner will get 3 digis of their choice.   I used an embossing folder for the background and the design paper is from Shery k Designs called Bonjour.   Now here is the sketch for you to follow...remember you can use the floral design on the side or do without it. 

Be sure to stop by Sketches by Carly and give the DT some love...they have made some wonderful creations.

Winter Wishes!

Good morning!  It's been a long time since I've posted anything so today I have a card I made using a newly colored image from Doodle Pantry!  This is called Winter Wishes but a new colored version.  It also comes in outlined and 4 digi papers.  I used some dp that I had laying around and added snowflakes and added some stickles to them.  It's hard to see but it's there!!  For the snow, I rubbed 2 styrofoam balls together and glued that on under the fence and then added 2 trees to the bottom.
Oh just a reminder, today is the last day for the DPDC 25, so if you haven't entered be sure to do that for your freebie!!   I'll be back next week with another creation using on of the new releases on the first of August!!  Be sure to check out the DP blog to see what they are.

Simple Joys...

Hello, happy Saturday!!  I have a short post today so I'd like to show you a card I made using the newly released Scarlet Paintbrush from Doodle Pantry.  I kept it CAS, which is my favorite style to make!  I also used the colored version along with one of the digi papers that comes with the set =)  The sentiment I used is from an old PTI set, sorry I don't remember the name of it.  
I'd also like to remind you that you still have one more day to enter the DPDC24.  If you enter by the 24th, you will receive the set Kite Ants for free.  Thanks *Ü*

Graduation Thank Yous!!

Hello stamping friends!!  My daughter is graduating High School tomorrow and I'd like to share some Thank You cards I made for her to send out.  I stuck with the CAS style and used her graduating colors...Black and Orange!  GO TIGERS *Ü*   I used the Grad Hat digi from Doodle Pantry, and the sentiment is from SU that I got many years ago!  I was looking at Ashley's Grad hat and noticed it had a button at the top of it to hold the tassle so I decided to put a flower shaped brad on this one.  
REMINDER:  If you play in our Doodle Pantry challenge DPDC24, you will receive the digi set Kite Ants for free!  Use any Doodle Pantry image, details can be found here.     Thanks for your visit!  Have a great day!
