Golden Retriever card

Random– Frame. ( You can see the multiple frames of yellow and brown cut out with my Cricut)

The sunflower image is Stampendous. I color copied the packaging of the die set and then colored some areas with my Copic markers. Then I used the coordinating dies to cut them out. I used a white gel pen bought on Amazon. The sentiment sticker is by Cloud 9.

Thanks for looking and HAGD! 

A Duet of Butterfly cards

I have two A2 cards using the same die cut in 2 different colors.

Let me know which one you like by leaving me a comment at the end of this post.

The sentiment die is by Memory Box.

After I glued the butterfly die cut onto the white cardstock, I noticed that my glue had seeped out from underneath the butterflies. 

To fix that I took a soft makeup brush full of Jacquard powder and dusted it all over the card front. 

 I dusted under the butterfly wings so the texture was the same throughout the card. 

Sloppy? I think it looks sloppy. Did this totally fix it? No, not really but I couldn’t throw it away. Consider the lesson learned to have a lighter hand when applying the Bearly Art glue.

The patterned paper is by October Afternoon. I stamped, colored, and fussy cut a butterfly stamp by Cloud 9. 

 Then I colored on the butterflies of the die cut for a tone-on-tone look and hoped to add some interest. I did outline one of them with a white gel pen. The sentiment on the inside said, “I’m here for you”. (Idk if anyone will get the symbolism)

So which one do you like better? Comment below. 

Thanks for looking. HAGD! 

Manly Monday Blues and Greens Christmas card

 The background paper is by Stampin Up. I dry embossed it with a snowflake embossing folder by Cuttlebug. Then I lightly inked the raised area with distress ink. The plaid background stamp is by Just Rite stamps. I inked it with a bunch of different ink colors because I was testing the ink pads on a mint colored cardstock and ended up liking it. I inked the edges before taping it down. 

The tree stamp is by Cloud Nine. I stamped and colored it in with Peerless Watercolors. After that, it was off to the die cut using a Spellbinders die. I inked blue to look like the sky and then Stickles to look like snow.

Manly Monday layered Orange and Black Birthday card

I thought the card above was finished, but then I decided to add the plaid patterned paper behind the front card panel and liked it so much more.
