SNOOPY TUESDAY ~ SNOOPY CARD

Snoopy Tuesday two weeks in a row ...yippeee! This week I was actually able to make the whole card in one day without my neck bothering me. Yay! I was good, though, I stopped at one card.

As you can see, I still kept it pretty plain and simple.I used Nestabilities to cut out Snoopy and the frame around him. When I went to add the football I decided to cut the prongs off the back of the brad and mount the football with a pop dot instead. This helped me to avoid having a "bump" in the card from the back of the brad. 

I couldn't resist adding a little of Charlie Brown's rick rack to the bottom of the card. The rick rack is really thick and too bulky to fold under the cardstock, so I cut it to length (just a smidge longer than I needed) and then held a match to each end to melt the edges so they wouldn't fray.

All in all it was a pretty quick card. In fact, the thing that took the longest was deciding what papers and die cuts to use.

 

Thank you so much for stopping by! Have a fantastic week!

Hugs,

Snoopy :D

SNOOPY TUESDAY ~ SNOOPY CARD

Believe it or not, this was a three-day card. I printed my background and colored my image on the first day, I dug up the papers and used my Cuttlebug the second day, and I assembled it today. So for all the Mums who've warned me to take care of myself and don't do too much ... here's proof. The world's slowest card ... lol.

The circle sentiment was a freebie posted on Free Digital Stamps back in January by Limited Runs. The minute I spotted it, I knew it would have to be paired with Snoopy at his typewriter. Originally I planned to use it for Valentine's Day, but I ended up doing something else instead.

So, when I decided it was time to try to make cards again, I went through my stamps to find one that only needed a little coloring (since I can only look down for short periods of time). That's when I remembered the circle sentiments I had and voila! a card was born.

I'm still pretty limited in my craft time, but I hope to at least post a Snoopy Tuesday card each week, until I can do more. Thanks for stopping by, and have a great week!

Hugs,

Snoopy :D
