Thinking of You Bird Card

 

Sharing a simple card today but one I still love. Simply use the bird Cuttlebug folder on white, layer with red and blacks (a color combination I really like), add label nestie with saying and ribbon and you are all done.

I got some new Cuttlebug folders yesterday and thought you might want to check them out. HSN has an exclusive bundle of Romance ones that are very cool. They may feature them on a show this week or it might be easier to just go to HSN.com and buy them there. I am not sure how long they will be available so you may want to check out right away.

Win this Set!

 

This monkey is part of a complete set of TAC stamps that is just a small part of my Blog Candy to be awarded February 1st to one of my subscribers. If you are not a subscriber, still time to sign up:) I am trying to share fun cards almost every day so I hope they are being enjoyed!

I paper pieced the monkey's clothes. The front has an inch cut off on the side and bottom, the corners rounded, patterned paper placed in the inside (so it shows), and a birthday candle punched border.

Best Wishes Card

 

 

I used Nestabilities border and shapes to make this card along with patterned paper on the front and inside. The border is the kind you can punch the holes to form the pattern and I sponged on the swirl in blue ink.

Stamp Simply Valentine

 

I made this Valentine for my kids I send cards to each month. I am linking it to Stamp Simply's #131 Love is in the Air Challenge. I have been wanting to use the Owl cuttlebug folder and the paper from Core'dinations that is brown and when you sand it another color comes through. I printed the saying on my computer on patterned paper and cut out with heart nestability.

Sympathy Card

 

Today I am sharing a sympathy card that I made recently. The green paper on the front looks like handmade paper. Half is embossed with vine and bird cuttlebug folder and accented with small pearls. The other half is stamped with sympathy saying (DRS Designs) and fern (not sure) and layered on dark green card.

Midnight Madness & Cuttlebug Spot

 

Hope this isn't too many cards for one day:) But today was my day for designing new cards and entering challenges. Promise you won't hear from me tomorrow- I am scrapping my darling grandson's pages and then cheering on the Packers in the playoffs!

This card is for two challenges at once- Midnight Madness MMSC35 sketch and for The Cuttlebug Spot New Year's card.

Saturday Spotlight Valentine

 

No Hearts Please! That's the idea on saturdayspotlight.blogspot.com today for their challenge- a Valentine with no hearts. I used CTMH's outline stamp on red patterned paper and make a sweet Valentine without hearts.
