Three Peas in a Pod

My sister's friend just found out she's having triplets....and that calls for a card. I used Storybook for the marquee....embossed with Swiss Dots and inked. New Arrival for the pea.....just cut out three heads. The little heads have 1 -2-3 little pieces of hair each. Layered the paper in reverse stripes with some pop dots and tied on a big Martha Stewart bow. Inside says: A chord of three strands is not easily broken. Ecclesiastes 4;12

Peeking Kitty Noel

Well, this is perhaps the most frustrating card I've ever made.....and I'm not even sure I like it even now. The tree is a 3" George Triangle 2...covered with Martha Stewart 1" scalloped circle punches....1" George star and a fiber bow. Stand is hand cut gold foil. The kitty is from Create a Critter....2 1/2" and I gave her some paws. The letters are mounted on Stampin' Up marquis punches....layered with pop dots....cut in gold metallic foil with Storybook. The paper is cut with a Stampin' Up border punch....and embossed with the Snowflakes folder. Card is edged with some gold sequins edging. The colors are quite right in the picture, but that happens sometimes esp. with reds.

Frank!

I was blog hopping last night and stumbled into Stamping with Natalie - she's a Stamping Up Demonstrator who focuses on punch art. Cute, cute, stuff! Well, she had a Frankenstein monster made from punches I loved...and thought he would be easy to translate into Cricut cuts. So here he is:

Marquee cut from Storybook: 4 1/4" one for head and one for hair.....hand trim

Cricles from George: 3 1 1/4"- 2 white - 2 green 2 3/4" black 1 1 1/4" oval

That's it.....detailed him with a Sharpie......embossed the hair. Sentiment is a Big Lots "treasure".

~OWL~ Congrats!

One of my colleagues was just named Teacher of the Year, and I wanted to congratulate her.  I used the handpieced owl from a My Scrap Chick pattern.  I love doing hand cut pieces....they are relaxing.  Anyway, I used Sassafras Lass and Prima Dude paper, some scrap ribbon, the marquee cut from Storybook (embossed with the Argyle folder), a QuickCutz Sentiment, a cute houndstooth paper flower, and a button.  And some pop dots (there always have to be pop dots, right?...)

This card works for Polka Doodle challenge (use an animal image) and Fantabulous Cricut (wings).

Blue Jean Pocket Teddy

I made a Valentine with a little teddy bear peeking out of a pocket heart and loved it so much, I had to try it again.  One of the sketches at RAQ's Challenge this week was something peeking out of a pocket...what are the odds?  So here's my latest version.   Paper is Sassafras Lass and used Storybook for the little flowers.   Bear is from a My Scrap Chick pattern (altered to suit my needs!)   Rub-on sentiment.  Pocket came from an old pair of Kati's jeans.

Thank You

My attempt at the black and white card.   The teal flower is from Storybook, cut on short and regular, then layered in different sizes.   Great trim was on a roll and was a find from Tuesday Morning.  Thank you is from Alphalicious.
