Peek A Boo Card

I saw a video that Dawn had made on creating a Peek A Boo card. Click HERE to watch it. I thought this was so cute and had to give it a try.

This is a thank you card for someone that really helped me out last week and since she is a hugh cat fan I decided to use a cat theme for the card. It's simply decorated since it's my first try at this. What do you think? Should I add flowers? More glitter? Coloring around the words? I just can't seem to decide.



This is the card closed. I used Prismatics Island Mist Medium cardstock. I love the subtle texture and weight of this product. I'm having problems finding this cardstock now and I'm hording my stash!


When the card is fully opened a new picture appears in the window. I glittered over the text. Of course I forgot to turn off my fan when I sprinkled the glitter and now my room, cat, dog, and desk are very glittery! LOL



Here is a shot of the card as it is opening. See how the hidden panel begins to move into place?

This is the top view of the hidden panel. I am sure to be making more of these type of cards!

Penny Black Hedgehog Easter

I was scrappin' with a friend and digging through all her wonderful stamps when I found this Penny Black stamp. It is a retired 2005 stamp so she graciously allowed me to borrow it. I stamped up an entire page of the image and just had to make at least one Easter card.



The egg was colored with Prismacolor pencils. I used embossing markers on the dots and heat set with clear embossing powder. The ribbon was also embossed with an orange embossing marker. I added clear stickles to the flower centers and glitter on the "ropes". I think this is a great easter image. Hope you do too.

House Mouse Easter

I love House Mouse images and this cutie was such fun to work with.



I stamped the image on Stampin Up's Whisper White cardstock and cut it out with an oval nestability. I also cut out a scalloped oval in red with a scalloped oval nestability. The mouse was colored with Prismacolor pencils and blended with mineral spirits. I colored the eggs with sparkling gel pens.

The jelly beans were a challenge until I found a nose to a pig on my Animal Kingdom cartridge! Using Design Studio I was able to remove the "cuts" that would have been on the shape and the end result is a perfect jelly bean! I cut them out in different colored cardstock and covered them with Glossy Accents.

The inside says "Do I smell Jelly Beans?". Isn't that cute?

Easter Basket Card

This card was made using my cricut and cuddlebug.



The label was cut from the Storybook cartridge. I put 18K gold paint on the edges. I used Mini Monograms to cut out the scalloped circle then ran it through the Cuddlebug using the Harringbone folder. All the eggs are from Doodlecharms. After they were cut I added stickles to parts of them, let that dry, than covered them with Glossy Accents.

The flower stems are from Walk In My Garden. They are actually the tulip border. I just put the eggs where the flowers would normally go. The basket is also from Doodlecharms. I pop dotted the basket and the label.

Tinkerbell Easter Card

One of the ladies at work has a daughter that really loves Tinkerbell. I hadn't tried using my Tink cart yet but decided to give it a try. The tiny pieces are a challenge but I'm very please with how she turned out.



The egg was cut at 2 1/2" (real size) from Doodle charms. I stamped and embossed all the flowers and the bunny. The bunny was stamped with Versmark and clear embossing powder then while the powder was still hot I sprinkled golden sand powder over the top and heat it again. It give the bunny fur a cute look.

Tinkerbell's wings were cut using a silver shimmer paper (from HL) and glitter was added to the detail lines.

This card was made using a clear acrylic sheet from Sheetload Shortcuts. They are great to work with and have just the right weight to support larger/heaver images.
