Hoo Loves Ya Baby!


For the challenge over at
SCS to make a Bright and Bold card I chose to use a hot pink mat and some bright bling! I just got this stamp recently when I had a 50% off coupon from Michaels...This stamp was really calling out to me! I LOVE the Hero Art stamps that they are carrying right now! I cut out and popped up the owl and the flowers and added bling for sparkle and kept it clean and simple...In the words of Kojak..."Hoo loves ya baby?" (Well sorta)
Have a wonderful day! Hugs! Cookie :D

flowers...

This is for two different challenges that are going on right now! Theres the A-Muse-A-Palooza Challenge #2 to use ribbon on your card and for the CAS20 Challenge over at SCS to paper piece...I love using both of these on cards so I had to play! This is my all time favorite A Muse stamp the Flower Cart...I paper pieced the awning and popped it up for dimension and cut slightly in between the flaps and bent them up to give the awning the effect of blowing in the breeze a bit..the wheel was also cut out and popped up for dimension and a brad added to the center...If you get a chance check out the challenges and play along!

Wow I am so tired from this past weekend I feel like I could drink a pot of coffee!

Here's Your Sign...

I stayed up late last night getting everything ready for Fathers Day...I have spent so much time on Fathers Day cards for the shop and I still needed one for my hubby! I wanted something fast but with some interest so I came up with this Joe Cool Snoopy holding a "Happy Fathers Day" sign using a dollar stamp,paper piercer and toothpick...The Snoopy image has his thumb up so I thought I could make that look like he was holding a sign...The colors I chose matched the brown and blue striped wrapping paper that I used for his gift...The top panel is popped up since the toothpick doesnt lay down flat it worked better that way...I would recommend using a flat toothpick but all I had were round ones...He got a kick out of it...I will be using this idea again but with different sentiments, this is the perfect "Heres Your Sign" image! I hope everyone enjoyed Fathers Day! Have a Wonderful Week!

DAD

Can you tell I have been making alot of Fathers Day cards? I found these letter cards in my stash and thought they would make an interesting card...It was one of those things where you keep them around because you know you will eventually use them for something...And so I did! I popped up the letters with pop dots for dimension and then added silver faux brad stickers on top of every other red dot on the "A" for interest...Thanks for stopping by! Hugs...Cookie :)

Daddy Big Boots...

Heres another Fathers Day card I made using the CAS19 Challenge over at SCS...I thought this boot sticker was so cool I just had to use it...The word "Dad" was a computer font and I just used two different size circle punches to mat it...For some reason the main panel color looks slightly different in the photo its more close to the darker brown on the shoe in real life...and the other papers are cream and a deep burgundy...Clean and Simple cards are so much fun to make they are my favorite! For my title of todays card I chose "Daddy Big Boots" from the movie G.I. Blues Starring Elvis Presley...Thanks for stopping by! Now of course I had to find Elvis singing "Daddy Big Boots" (What a lucky baby that was!)
