You are sew special

 
Working on another package of cards for the chidrens charity.  I picked this fun kitty image from 2 Cute Ink because it always makes me smile and I hope the kids will too.  Colored with Copics.  Punched flowers and dots for the centers with EK Success Punches.  Printed saying and cut out with my paper trimmer.  Machine stitched with zig zag pattern around edges. Print paper is from The Paper Studio Basics Pack.  It has white stitched lines in the pattern which ties in nicely with the sewing theme of the card.

Merry Christmas To Ewe...


 
This is one of my all time favorite Christmas digis to make cards with.  It's called Merry Christmas to Ewe from Bugaboo.  Cut out image and saying with Spellbinders dies.  Added some punched snowflakes and a "ice cycle" border made with MS drippy goo punch.  Applied glitter glue to the hat so it's very sparkly.
