Happy Birthday Splits

Today I have a masculine birthday card to share made for my son, one of the two best things I've done in my life (my daughter being the other).

The background was made recently at a card making day with friends.  We were playing around with a friends  new Kuretake Gansai Tambi Starry Colors Watercolor Set.  Using a couple of the different gold colors we painted a faint background, then broad lines, then splattered tiny dots. The gold is very beautiful but was a bit difficult to photograph.  I stamped the Papertrey Ink Splits Happy Birthday (just the top and bottom) on top of the background and heat embossed in black.  I then used a bit of red distress ink and a waterbrush and added a few accent lines.  The sentiment from the same stamp set was stamped and embossed in red on vellum and added before mounting on a red mat and onto a card made from Neenah Desert Storm 110 lb cardstock.  A few sequins from Pretty Pink Posh finished it off.

Puppy Love, Two Ways

Today I'm sharing two versions of the same card - using the same stamp - Puppy Love by Reverse Confetti.  I also used the same frame die from Papertrey Ink for both cards.  All the dogs were stamped on watercolor paper and colored with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers.

Paper Source Cats

Today I have three cards, all made using some cool cat paper from the Paper Source.  They have incredibly beautiful paper.  All three cards are very simple so as to showcase this paper.  For each card (in a set of 6) I made sure to use a different section of the paper (it comes in a very large sheet) so each card had different cats on it. 

Supplies used include:  Simon Says Stamp Stitched Rectangles, Circles, Squares and Painted Hello and Thanks Dies, Bazzill Vellum,  Neenah Desert Storm and Simon Says Stamp Fog Cardstocks, Nuvo Drops

Pug Love

I've been busy creating new cards for my Etsy shop (link at right).  My Etsy shop was set up to help raise money for Pug Rescue of Florida - I donate $2 from each pug card sold on Etsy to Pug Rescue of Florida.  I also sell my cards at their annual Pugsgiving fundraiser where they receive 100% of the money.  And selling cards that don't feature pugs help me to buy minimal supplies, so that I can hopefully continue to raise money to help the pugs.

Today I'm sharing two new pug cards - for valentines, or anniversaries, or just to say I love you.  A lot of pug love.
