Butterfly card with shadow stamping


It's been a long time since I did shadow stamping and thought I would play with some ideas to use my old neglected Hero Arts stamps from several years ago.  I also used Bazz pink die based ink for the shadow background, Versafine black ink to stamp the butterflies, dot trails and saying, Spellbinders Nestabilities Card Creator dies to cut out white and pink layers and a EK Success punch for the three dots.  This is for the children's charity.

Snoopy Flip Card



Bought a Sizzix card die called Scalloped Square Flip It. (It cuts out a square shaped flip swing card base with a scalloped square cut out in the center. ) Used Bazzill red cardstock for the base.  Stamped Snoopy, then cut out image and black background layer with Spellbinders dies.  Punched the scalloped corners with a EK Success Paper Shapers Photo Corner punch.  I checked my stash and I didn't have 4 red buttons that were the right size for the corners, so I cut out "paper" buttons with my Cameo and Bazzill cardstock using a cut file I found at the Silhouette store.
  This is for the Cards For Hospitalized Kids Charity.

You are so beary sweet!


Love this darling little bear that I found at the Silhouette store last year.  Thought he would make a fun card for the Cards For Hospitalized Kids charity.  Image, frame and banner saying were printed then cut out with my Cameo.  Scalloped border was cut out with a Spellbinders die.  Machine stitched around the edges, then added a small twine bow on the banner.

Dog days of summer

  

This sweet pup is a digi image from QKR Stampede called Waiting Dog.  Used colored pencils, Spellbinders dies, dog bone punch, twine and dog theme papers from my stash.  This is for the Cards For Hospitalized Kids Charity.

Used the main parts of the sketch, but changed the rectangle to a circle for the image.  The paw print border and solid brown scallop border are two different pieces divided by the twine so it matches the sketch layout.
