SNOOPY TUESDAY ~ SNOOPY CARD

Everyone in the Snoopy household is fighting a nasty flu bug. Most of our friends are down with Strep Throat. Fortunately, what we have is not quite as severe as that, but it's strong enough to have taken the wind out of our sails. So here's a get well card for us. I sincerely hope that none of you need it.

Take good care of yourselves and thank you so much for stopping by!

SKETCH CARD ~ SKETCHES WITH HEART #2

This card is for a sketch challenge over at Heart Song Inspirations where they have just started having weekly sketch challenges. This is for challenge #2. I haven't used any images from Heart Song Designs this week because I don't have any ... yet.

The image is from a stamped image swap and it's the very first one I colored with Copics. When I received the background papers and doily in a paper swap (thanks again, Annika!), I knew immediately that I wanted to pair them with this image. The smaller flowers were on clearance at Michaels in a huge package for $1.49 The larger roses were donated by my youngest. This is my first time using these flowers and it was so much fun. I'll definitely have to keep an eye on those clearance bins. :D

Thanks so much for stopping by!

HOUSE MOUSE DECOUPAGE CARD

I made this card for a decoupage swap I'm in. I love stacking the layers on. It gives the card such dimension. If only there wasn't all that cutting with the scissors. Oh well, the effect is definitely worth the effort. I got the decoupage sheets from Joanna Sheen. They had so many choices, it was hard to pick just one ... lol.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

THREE CAT PILE-UP CARD

I saw a card made with this image online and loved it so much I had to try my hand at it. The cute kitties are from Squigglefly and the pawprints background was a free digi I downloaded some time ago, also from Squigglefly.

I made it for a swap I was in, and I had a hard time mailing it off ... lol. Clearly, I'll have to make some more cards with these little kitties.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

SNOOPY TUESDAY ~ SNOOPY CARD

Everyone's Irish on St. Patrick's day; even cute little Woodstock ... lol. Time to break out the funny t-shirts and silly hats and eat corned beef and cabbage (which my Irish mother assured me was strictly an American dish, as she served it up to us). Tea and Irish Soda bread was more the fare in the old country, and she made plenty of that too! We'll miss her sweet smile and lilting laugh this year, but I'll be sure to make the soda bread and have a cuppa in her honor. Thanks so much for stopping by and have a great Patty's day!

BABY GIFT CARD

I just love this little baby and I thought it would be perfect for the gift card I needed to go with a baby blanket I made. This was one of the first cards I made with Copics and I've still got a lot to learn, especially when it comes to shading.

The image was a freebie I found quite awhile ago. If you look on my right sidebar, you will find a link to free digital stamps. They post new ones every day and my stamp collection has grown immensely since I discovered this gem of a website. If you do download freebies, be sure to leave a comment with the artist to show your appreciation.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

OVER THE HILL BIRTHDAY CARD

What hill? Where? I don't remember any hill.

This is the birthday card I gave to my husband. I always tease him about getting older (and I can because I'm older than he is ... lol). Neither of us is old, but we are at that wonderful time of life when all the aches and pains start coming, and your "get up and go" has to think about it first ... hee hee hee ... but it's all in good fun.

Thanks so much for stopping by.

DIVER DAN GEL (WATER) CARD

Hi everyone! I made my very first water card today and I'm pretty happy with the way it came out. I followed the tutorial they had posted on Splitcoast Stampers (here). I showed it to DH at lunch and he informed me that it needed more bubbles. The two of us ended up sitting there squishing the bubbles back and forth. It was a lot of fun! I think any kid would be thrilled to get one of these cards.

I found some zip close bags at Michaels that were 4"x5". I put some hair gel in one of them, pushed out most of the air, and then attached it to the inside of the card front to cover the window area. I used some red sticky tape to anchor the bag there. Then, I placed a piece of cardstock over the edges of the bag on the inside of the card front, and trimmed the edges with some gold peel-offs.

I colored the images with Copics. It's funny. I placed each marker I used on the side table so I could post which colors I used. By the time I was done, there were more markers on the side table than there were in the marker holder. I think it would be easier to tell you which colors I didn't use ... lol.

Anyway, thanks for stopping by! Give this technique a try sometime. It's a lot of fun.

Hugs,

Snoopy :D
