MR. & MRS. ~ WEDDING CARD

This is my very first Tri-Shutter card and it's patterned after A Different Kind of Tri-Fold Card on Splitcoast Stampers. I'm not sure why I decided to make it a wedding card, but I really like how it turned out and will be glad to use it when the occasion presents itself.

Thanks for taking the time to visit!

Hugs,

YOU'RE NOT OLD ... BIRTHDAY CARD

You're a classic!

I had fun with this free digi. I even put acetate behind the windshield frame. I've gotten such wonderful "masculine" images from free digital stamps; including classic cars, sailboats, and cowboy stamps. They have new stamps listed every day. It's a great way to grow your stamp collection. Don't be surprised if you see a few more classic cards in the near future ... lol.

Thanks so much for visiting! You made my day. :D

"D" IS FOR DOG ~ ALPHABET SWAP CARD

Originally I was going to use Snoopy on this card, but this little guy was just sooo cute I had to put him front and center. This layout would also work really well for a masculine card; you'd just have to replace the cute little puppy with a "manly" image (like a vintage car).

I hope your week is going well!

Hugs,
Snoopy :D

IT'S RAINING, IT'S POURING ~ FRIENDS CARD

It's hard to tell from the picture, but I've been playing with the crystal effects again. It's a clear glaze that I used on the puddles and some of the raindrops. I'm still struggling with two things: 1. keeping the paper flat while it dries, and 2. even when applied on a flat level surface, it has a tendency to puddle more in some areas than in others as it dries. The effect is so cool though, it's definitely worth investing some more time to work out the kinks.

If anyone has any tips or tricks to recommend, please leave a comment. Thanks for stopping in!

APRIL SKETCH SWAP CARD

We now have a monthly sketch swap, and it's designed by Meg. I must've been thinking of her when I made the card because it's covered in ladybugs (and Meg loves ladybugs like I love Snoopy). I realized what I was doing about halfway through the making of the card. I sure hope my swap partner likes ladybugs.

It's so nice of you to stop by! Thanks bunches!

Hugs,
Snoopy :D

DELFT TILE TECHNIQUE CARD

This card was made for a Delft Tile Technique Card Swap. I used the tutorial on Splitcoast Stampers, but I made my tiles 1 1/2" square, centered it on a 5" card, and stamped it with SU!'s True Friend stamp set. I used a really pale gray marker to highlight the sides of the score marks. A lot of people also sponged the edges of each tile with blue, but the delft pieces I have are not like that so I went with a truer (if a little plainer) representation of the tile.

This technique was a lot of fun, and really simple to do. I will definitely be making more of these in the future.

Thanks for visiting! It means a lot to me. :D

DIAGONAL DOUBLE POCKET CARD

This card was for a Fancy Fold card swap. It's called a Diagonal Double Pocket card. The card is made from one sheet of 8 1/2 x 11 double-sided decorative paper that is folded to make the pockets. It's easy peasy.

Here's a link to the tutorial.

Splitcoast Stampers also has a gallery for Diagonal Double Pocket cards.

Here's a link to the gallery.

I made two bookmarks to fit in the pockets and decorated them with Stampin' Up! rub-ons. The paper is also from Stampin' Up! and the hydrangea flowers and the butterflies are from Martha Stewart.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

SNOOPY TUESDAY ~ SNOOPY CARD

This card is for a black & white card swap that I'm in, and I have to say, it took a LOT of restraint on my part to not color Snoopy's pilot's cap and scarf. I was tempted to put a sentiment inside like

"Weren't you old enough last year?"

but I want the recipient to be able to re-gift this if she wants to, so I behaved myself. (gasp!)

Thanks so much for stopping by, and have a wonderful Tuesday!

Hugs,

Snoopy :D
