Congrats Graduate

Our DIL recently graduated from University of Phoenix in Family Counseling. We are so very proud of her. It isn't easy to do with a busy two year old son to care for too. She was honored with a blue ribbon around her neck indicating a high achievement in academics. So the owl is just doing a little showing off!

I use the Owl punch from Stamp'in Up. the leaf is from What A Hoot Cartridge.

Here is the inside of the card.

Hoot-errific

Here is another card sent to my daughters. We have fun sending each other cards. I have been wanting to make an Owl card.

This was an owl from Give A Hoot cart. The back ground is the SU background that I watermark stamped and then heat embossed it with clear powder.
It "raised the grain" on the tree trunk and gave it a great glossy shine.

Christmas Card Give Aways

This year for Christmas I made a bunch of cards and gave them away as gifts. Here is a group of them for you to enjoy!

This red card was heat embossed with clear embossing powder to give a shiny gloss to the flourishes.

A card made from StoryBook cart and Stampin Up paper. It was Cuttlebugged with Swiss Dots folder too.

This is a simple Sympathy Card using an embossing folder and Cuttlebugged.

This is a stamped image that I used water color crayons from Stampin Up and then took my blending pen and colored in the fruit.

This is a shape from Accent Essentials that was then Cuttlebuged with the circles folder and touched up with some brown chalk.

This is a copy of a Donna Mundinger creation.

This is a shape card from StoryBook. I had to give the dots some bling and a colorful bow to make the card pop!

Just a simple cards using than embossing folder.

Here is the inside of the card.
