I have another dog card for you today. This time I used a little stamp from Rosie's Roadshow called Bentley. Rosie's Roadshow stamps are all small and they have a quirky sense of humor that I really like! This is one of my favorite because it looks just like our dog, Bella. It's a good stamp to build scenes around. The tree is from a Stampin' Up set called Festival of Trees. I used Ranger Distress inks to stamp the trees. The colors are Pine Needles and Peeled Paint. The frame was made using a Die-namics die from My Favorite Things called Stitched Rectangle Scallop Frames.
I took some typing paper and cut 3 pieces with different wavy lines. I used them as masks to make the snowy hills and I used a Clarity brush to apply the Night of Navy ink. I am so in love with these brushes and the smooth soft look you get with them!! Once I got the hills done, I used the same masks and stamped the trees. The card seemed too flat so I stamped some more trees and added them with foam tape.
On the inside I used a stamp from the Stampin' Up set called Floral Phrases, a Die-namics die called Stitched Mini Scallop Rectangle STAX to echo the scalloped frame on the front and little Bentley again!
Here is a picture of our Bella...isn't that stamp perfect for her?
Thanks so much for stopping by! Keep stamping :)

I don't know if you are like me, but I am very influenced by my friends. They buy something, I need it...they make something, I want to make it...they try a new technique, I want to try it! Well that's been happening to me a lot lately and I ended up making cards because of them!! First my friend, Tina, has been making and posting some REALLY cute dog cards. Of course, this made me think of making a dog card. I had a cute little dog stamp from a discontinued MFT set called Cupcake Cutie and I decided to use that stamp with the MFT Penguins in Paradise palm tree stamp that I LOVE!! Here is how it came out...
Don't you love that palm tree??? It's so much fun to color and it isn't bad to cut out either. There are dies to match the set if you don't like cutting, but I didn't want the white border so I cut it by hand. To frame out my scene I used MFT's Stitched Rectangles Frames. I didn't add a sentiment yet because I'm not sure what I'm using this card for. I'll add a Happy Birthday or Thinking of You later. Here's an angled picture so you can see what's popped up.
The right side of the card looked bare so I added the little sand pail. It's a die from Impression Obsession. It comes in a set with sand castles, an ice cream cone and the pail & shovel. Oh...almost forgot the sun, that's a Lawn Fawn die called Spring Showers. I colored the sky with blue and purple Pan Pastel tints.
Thanks so much for stopping by!!

Here's another cute birthday card with movement. It's cute closed but really pops when it's opened! This is an old Elzybelles stamp and I don't think it's available anymore. Penny Black bought a lot of the Elzybelles images when they went out of business but I looked and couldn't find this one. If you don't have this stamp, other stamps with balloons would work. I was inspired by a card on Pinterest done by Heather Summers. She used a girl holding a bunch of balloons.
Here is what it looks like open:

It's so hard to lose a pet that has been with the family for so long. I made this card in hopes that it would help a friend to remember the life of their wonderful girl and all of the happiness she brought into their lives and to focus on that instead of the sadness.
I colored the puppy with Copics and used pencils to add the spots and shadows. Here is a pic of the inside of the card. Thanks for visiting.
