Dog Sympathy Card

Hello! On Monday I learned of the tragic passing of a dog from the apartment complex where I work. So, I made this Dog Sympathy Card for the owner's. Losing a pet is heartbreaking and sometimes the little things help to get us through.

This Dog Sympathy Card is pretty simple to create. The cloud paper is by Kaiser Craft from the Little Treasures Collection. A die cut cloud using a Puffy Cloud border die by Lawn Fawn. The heartfelt sympathy sentiment is by Unity Stamps from the No Better Words sentiment kit (December 2020). A dog silhouette die cut made using a Cricut machine and then three blue heart sequins added for detail. That's it and thanks for stopping by.

  

Butterfly Thinking of You Card

Hello! As it gets warmer outside, I've noticed a few butterflies fluttering around my yard. We don't spray chemicals on our backyard, so the butterflies and bees have a few things to feed on until I plant flowers. 🌼

To create this Butterfly Thinking of You Card I used the sketch from the Inky Paws Challenge. I added some blue to play the option at Crafty Catz and three butterflies to play along at Triple B. The butterfly images are from the retiring Beautiful Wings stamp set by Newton's Nook. Floral paper from the My Favorite Summer paper pad by Echo Park was selected. Some twine was added to go along with the sketch and that's it. So glad you stopped by and enjoy the rest of your day.🦋

Easter Card with Ducks

Hello! It's almost Easter and time to get the cards in the mail. This Easter Card with Ducks was made for my parents. I usually make them a card with a bunny, so I thought I would do something different. The image is from Unity Stamps and it's called Lucky Little Ducks. The Happy Easter sentiment is from the bunny- keep you forever sentiment kit by Unity Stamps. Copic markers were used to color the image. I found a plaid paper by Recollections that coordinated perfectly and added some floral patterned paper by Doodlebug Designs. Everything was adhered flat for easy shipping and that's it. So glad you stopped by and I hope you enjoy the rest of your day!

Mother's Day Card

Hello and happy Sunday! It may be a little early for Mother's Day, but since I'm not crafting as much, I thought I should make one early. This Mother's Day Card was made using colors from the current Inky Paws Challenge to use: Bubblegum Pink, Lilac, Spring Green and White. Most of the supplies are by Newton's Nook. The stamp set is Best Mom Oval, along with Oval Frames die and Springtime paper pad. A piece of pink stripe paper from my stash was added and the markers are Stampin' Blends. That's it, so glad you stopped by.

Birdies Thank You Card

Good day! It's a lovely rainy day here in Oklahoma, so I decided to spend some time crafting. I made this Birdies Thank You Card for the sweet lady who does our taxes. She has been doing them since my hubby and I have been married, 25 years. A thank you card is probably long overdue. 

The card layout is from this weeks challenge at Tuesday Morning Sketches. An image from Unity Stamps called For all Your Help Birdies was stamped and then colored with copic markers. When I started looking at sentiments, nothing fit right. Then I remembered the retired Vertical Greetings stamp set from Stampin' Up!, that I had never used, and decided that would work perfectly. The floral patterned paper is new from Echo Park from the It's Spring Time paper pad and some coordinating paper from my scrap bin. A butterfly from my stash was added and that's it. Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!🌼

Newton's Peeps Easter Card

Good day! Recently, I've been busy making my friend some Easter cards. This Newton's Peeps Easter Card is my latest one I made for her. She also likes cats, so I hope she likes the Newton image as much as I do.🐤 

The image was colored with Copic markers and then die cut with the coordinating die. For the scalloped and center layers I used the Frames & Flags die set by Newton's Nook. Three purple flowers added along with an extra chick on top of the basket for detail. Everything was adhered flat and that's it. So glad you stopped by!

Four Paws Thank You Card

Hello crafty friends! I have been very busy this month taking care of our senior cat Mr. Tommy. Three weeks ago he had a lung lobectomy to remove a small tumor. The surgery went well, but my hubby decided we had to stay up with him for the first week. So, we took shifts sleeping and making sure he was okay. To say the least... I was very sleep deprived! Thankfully he is recovering nicely and is getting back to his normal routine. 

This Four Paws Thank You Card was made for the surgeon and hospital staff to thank them. The inside reads "for a job well done!!!". It features the Talk To the Paw stamp set from Unity Stamps, the paws were colored with Copic markers and then fussy-cut. The sentiment was made with the computer and I accented it with a little heart. Some fun striped and polka dot paper was used and everything was adhered flat. That's it. So glad you stopped by and I hope you enjoy the rest of your day!
