Hot Diggity

  Hi Everyone,

As much as I like clean and simple cards, I feel like I struggle when making them.  They always look unfinished in my hand, so I add more stuff, and eventually ruin the whole thing. I feel like this is my version of a CAS card.  Patterned paper, image, sentiment, and limited embellishment in the form of twine :)

I do have a love of patterned papers, so it was fun to make one for this darling new Let's Play Puppy stamp.  I stamped him on some light brown paper and heat embossed him, before fussy cutting and adding him to a mat. He was perfect for a dog lovers' birthday, so I paired it up with the Hot Diggity Dog Birthday Greeting. 

Here are the stamps I used to make the background paper:

Small Dog Print

Small Silhouette Heart

Dog Bone

Thanks for visiting and be sure to stop on over to the DRS Designs store for more new stamps!

Congratulations

Hi Everyone,

I'm probably the last card maker on earth to make a slider card, but I guess it's never too late to try something new.  Or at least new to me :) DRS Designs is releasing some new stamps later the week, so here's I peek at one of the newbies!

I stamped, colored and fussy cut the new Let's Play Puppy (1110F) and Dog Bone, along with cutting two pieces of card stock for the grass, stamping them using the Easy Grass Background, I punched an opening in the top piece so the dog could slide back and forth, using some circle punches attached to the back of the pooch to make that happen.    

 I added a couple of die cut clouds to the sky and used the New Pet Congratulations Greeting as my sentiment.

Thanks for stopping by and be sure to visit all week to see lots of new stamps!

Have a great day!

Easter Blessings

Hi Everyone,

My offerings today are super simple and quick to make.  With Easter coming up, here's a card made using an embossing folder and the Lily Cross Easter Blessings stamp.  I added some chalk to the rays, but if you don't have this (Darice) embossing folder, I think something similar could be made using a ruler and a yellow marker. 

And here I'm using the Simple Easter Bunny for my Easter dinner place cards. Only 6 more to go!

Hippity Hoppity Easter's on its way!

Thanks for visiting!
