For this polaroid card, I used the dog from the Penny Black transparent stamp set “Every Which Way” and combined him with a title from “the touch of love”.
I colored the dog and heart balloon using Prismacolor Pencils and Mona Lisa Odorless Paint Thinner. To add dimension, I fussy cut them, popped them up on crafting foam and applied Glossy Accents to the heart. The polaroid itself is mounted on dimensionals as well.
To give my card a finished look, I created a stitched border using my white gel pen.
This is my second entry for the April challenge at Penny Black @ Allsorts.
If you are interested, you can see the first card I submitted here.
Thanks for spending some of your time with me! I would love to hear what you think about my card.

Today’s card is a clean & simple anniversary card I made for my parents. This time I didn’t do much stamping but decided to use my Martha Stewart butterfly punch instead. For more dimension, I layered the butterflies and popped up the front panel using dimensionals. I also added some pearl stickers to the butterflies.
As always, thanks for looking!

Today I want to share a custom order wedding card with you. The customer didn’t have a specific design in mind so I went for a clean and elegant look. I had my Cuttlebug do most of the work and embossed the background with the D’vine Swirl and Swiss Dots folders. I framed the title, an American Art stamp, using my nestabilities and adhered it with dimensional pads. As a final touch, I added a couple of embossed butterflies.
I hope you like what you see! Thanks for all your wonderful comments, they mean a lot to me.

Today I have a clean and simple 50th wedding anniversary card for you. The title “Happy Anniversary” is a Penny Black stamp which I framed using my Spellbinders nestabilities. The hearts were cut out with the Cricut and the Doodlecharms cartridge. I partially embossed the white background with the Cuttlebug and Swiss Dots embossing folder and added 3 scored lines with my Scor-pal.
Even though the card is different from my usual cardmaking style, I really like how it turned out and hope that the couple that will be receiving it will like it too. What do you think?
Thanks for stopping by and taking a look at my card.

Lately I have been seeing lots and lots of tent cards everywhere and thought Valentine’s Day would be a good opportunity to give it a try myself. So here’s my take on a tent fold featuring the Penny Black dog from “Every Which Way”, my scalloped circle nestabilities and some cloud pattern paper by A Muse.
I also did some baking yesterday and surprised my husband with these chocolate cupcakes. For the cupcake topper I chose the same Penny Black image as for the card above and finished it off by adding some Glossy Accents to the heart.

I’m back with a love themed card that I made for my husband. Both the image and title are Penny Black clear stamps. The hedgie is from “Bubbly” and the title is from “Every Which Way”. For the window I used my Spellbinders scalloped circle nestabilities. To bring out the red of the ladybug I applied some Glossy Accents.
Hope you like it and thanks for looking.
