Pet Sympathy

Today's class at OnlineCardClasses was about using border dies. Instead of masking with border dies, I just cut strips so I could make stripes. I cut the paw with my Cricut Explore and the Life's A Party cartridge. Then my favorite part as usual...gluing my sequins. :)

Hang in there

Hello and happy Friday!!! For my card today I stamped the Sweet Lace background from MarketStreetStamps in pink pastel colorbox fluid chalk ink. My monkey is from the Life's a Party cricut cartridge. Isn't she adorbs?! Her sweet little face is from the Critter Faces Medium set from PeachyKeenStamps. 

I white heat embossed the sentiment from the Jungle Fever set from PinkByDesign. Speaking of PinkByDesign...They now have a clearance section with TONS of  ADORABLE stamps starting at only  6.99!!! WOWSERS!! Amazing deals to be had! :) OH and they are having a Ustream tonight at 9CST and will be showing their new releases...yeah! I ♥ Ustream fun! :)

WOOT WOOT it's new PEACHY time!!! The stamp set I used for all of my cards {except the last one} is called Easter Patch and it is as cute as can be!!! I mean, come on! A bunny in a bunny suit with bunny slippers!!! CUTE!!!

The clouds are from the Sure Miss You set from MarketStreetStamps.com. The card base is from the Easter 2010 cricut cartridge.

This pretty egg stamp is also in that set. I stamped it over and over with embossing ink and white embossed it. Then I inked it up with distress ink in worn lipstick. I then misted over it with water in a mini mister to make it look "dyed". Ya know, like dying eggs! ;) I mixed up some perfect pearls and water and "painted" the flowers...You can see the shine here...

The sentiment is from the Hoppy Easter set from PinkByDesign.

I made 2 similar SUPER simple cards with the flowers from the set. The sentiment on this first one is from Emma's set called Just a Little Note To Say.

The sentiment on this one is from the new Spring Bouquet set from PeachyKeenStamps. And because my new Camping Critters cartridge came this afternoon...I made this last card really quick...

Her adorable lil' face is from the new set called Cute and Cuddly Face Assortment.  The sentiment on this one is from the Hippie Chic set by MarketStreetStamps. Ok, that's it for me! Keep on Hoppin'!!!!

Next stop...EMMA!!!

And if you get lost along the bunny trail....

Throwback Thursday

Hiya! Sorry I am so late in posting this...My internet has been mean since last night. Anyhoo, the challenge this time is to use ANY older cartridge and make a project with a St. Patrick's Day theme. I used the Paper Doll Dress Up cartridge for my shamrock. The card base is from Life's a Party {not old, but too cute not to use ;o)} The cute face is from the Wide Eyed Kids assortment from PeachyKeenStamps.com. The sentiment is from Emma's I Believe in Leprechauns set.

Pop over to Emma's blog to play along with Throwback Thursday! I can't wait to see what you make! Have a wonderful day!!!

Happy Birthday Jaxen

Hiya! Today is Design Team Friday day for Sarah {Pink Cricut}!!! AND today is her lil guy's birthday!!! Happy Birthday Jaxen!!! So the design team made him some fun cards, and here's mine. I used the Life's a Party cartridge for the card base and the lion. His face is from the Critter Faces large set from PeachyKeenStamps.com.

The super sweet sentiment is from the Take The Cake set from PinkByDesign.

Ok, head over to see what the other GREAT dters made for him....Click HERE  I hope he likes his card!
