This was an anniversary card for my brother & SIL. I LOVE these giraffes! I think they are Gina K... I borrowed them from a friend, so I'm not sure. I just bent the front giraffe stamp over a bit when I stamped it (which took quite a bit of manipulating!) :-) I love how their spots look like hearts.

Cardstock; So Saffron, Wild Wasabi and Purely Pomegranate PP
Ink: Sage Shadow, Close to Cocoa, Purely Pomegranate, Wild Wasabi
The card shape was made with a stencil, and cut out by hand (no Nestibilities here!) :-)
The Wasabi layer is cut with my cutter with the deckle edge.

Thanks for stopping by!

If you want any more info (like what stamp sets I used) just leave a comment. I'm posting these from my laptop while watching a ball game with my husband, so I don't know all the names of the stamp sets. :-)

Thanks for visiting!

Wishing you Love

Sorry, I couldn't get a nice clear picture of this one. This is an anniversary card. The Precious Moments stamp I've had FOREVER! The paisley stamp is SU! as is the sentiment. The sentiment is underneath a clear sticker. Cardstock is Buckaroo Blue from SU!, as is the ink. PM stamp colored in with markers.

Soldier - You are in my thoughts and prayers

This is a card I made for a family member who was deployed recently. I took the pictures separately before I placed the vellum layer over top so that you could see the detail. I LOVE this card!

I don't remember now what all I used for this, but it was a combination of SU! stamps. Cardstock is Brilliant Blue, Silver and Ruby Red. Soldier image was colored in with Old Olive marker. Star (behind soldier) is cut-out from a stencil free-hand. Vellum, silver eyelets, and silver embossing powder were also used. Sentiments and praying hands stamps were all purchased at Hobby Lobby.

Happy Independence Day!

On this day, I'm praising and thanking God for our country, and more specifically, all of the men and women who have or are sacrificing for our country in the military... whether here at home or overseas. Thank you and your families for sacrificing for MY freedom and liberty! I am deeply grateful.

So - here is a card that I made with the troops overseas in mind. I must admit that I was pretty impressed with my creativity on this one! If you look on your phone, the zip code spells "i luv u."

If you want details let me know...

Adoption

When SU! came out with the stamp set that had sentiments for twins and adoption, I knew I was going to have to get my hands on it! In my post here, I used the twins sentiments. We have some friends that just adopted a little girl, so I got to use those sentiments, too! Here's the card:
