This was made for the current "Easter" challenge at Creatalicious Challenges. I used a fun little duck from a set called Easter Parade over at Jan's Digi Stamps. For this one I used glitter paper, circle dies, some fun floral papers, some jeweled flowers, and a jeweled butterfly.
Fun huh?
Hope to see you over at Creatalicious Challenges!!
For this card I used some Sponge Daubers and ink pads. I dipped my daubbers into the ink and rubbed them over the the glossy paper, I then used a Fiery Sunset shimmer spray over that. Then I used a stitched rectangular die and cut that out. Then I used a fun die that I cut out of another piece and used as a stencil. With that I used another sponge dauber and a darker ink pad to rub over the handmade stencil. Then I added the sentiment, which is actually a sticker. I used a couple hemp twine strands and a button. I layered this onto another die cut layer using pop dops. These two layers were layered onto the card base.
This card was made, just because! I've had these images and have been wanting to play with them. I used my Cricut to fussy cut all four images. The sentiments are my own. You can find the images here:
The cat in the corner came from the Tyson and Topsy image, I just removed the dog. I used some gems and that is about all I did for "extras".
It's funny because my cat doesn't lay on the back of my recliner, she will be in my lap instead. The only chair she will sit on the back of like that is my craft/office chair. She has sort of stopped doing that lately because I'm all over my room getting things while creating. I'm not a 'plan then create person', I'm an 'I'm going to use this on something...aaaand...GO!' person. LOL

Well, it's supposed to be spring here in Idaho, but, we still wake up with snow on the ground sometimes. I really am ready for flowers and leaves on the trees! Not this!
Granted, it is sort of pretty to look at, but come on!! It's the end of March!! LOL
To put myself into a happy spring moode, I decided to do a fun Spring, hidden double slider Card using this month's Stamp Of The Month from CTMH
Cute huh? I added some sequins, gems, flower stickers, ribbon and gold twine. I chalked and/or water colored (using the chalk) the images and the backgrounds. I used this step by step video to make it.I've been following this lady's videos for A LOT of years. She is so ADHD sometimes, but really, she is great at the step by step processes on how to make things. I'm not a HUGE fan of the SU stamps (though, I'm glad they've started making clear stamps too), but I do love their papers and their other goodies!!
Thank you for checking out my creation!! This is where I'm sharing it:
This card was made using the chocolate bunny from the set called Easter Jonquils. This set is currently on sale, be sure to go grab it!! Easter is coming up fast (April 9th). Of course, only the one on the far left is the original chocolate bunny, the rest had "bites" taken out of them...don't judge! I was hungery! LOL This card is for all of the chocoholics out there! I used sentiments from a couple of retired sets by Skipping Stones Designs (out of business). I had to add the chocolate finger prints too! I added a bow for each bunny, including the one that is no longer there...all gone! Yummmm!
I did the back with a touch of "chocolate" as well -
Paulette from Create With TLC gave this little guy and the sentiment away over on her Facebook Page - HERE. If you don't already follow her page, you should!
This was made for a co-worker for her birthday. I used two scallopeed square dies, some ribbon, twine and buttons. This would have been good for St. Patrick's Day too, with all the green!! Don't you just love the pink and green combo? I wasn't sure I would until this was done!!
For this new QKR Stampede challenge I made a fun card using one image and two sentiments. I used Cat In Bag, Cat is Out and It's Your Birthday. I used up some paper scraps, added a piece of burlap (I mean come on, it's a sack!), a big twine bow and some gems.
This is being shared on this fortnight's "ATG W/opt. add ribbon" challenge over at Creatalicious Challenges.
This card was made for one of my co-worker's birthdays, one of her answers when asking about what she does for fun was "Stargazing". She said she loves all colors of blue. I found this adorable image from a pack I have from Lili Of The Valley called Mid Summer's Night (link is for the digi stamp itself, I can't find where I purchased the pack from) and HAD to use it!! I added some roses, blue gems, blue ribbon and tons of stars. I created my own sentiment and used a fun tiny clothes pen to hold it into the place I wanted it to be. The clothes pen was originally white, I used a Shortbread colored shimmer brush from CTMH to color it. I used a Sapphire Shimmer Brush over the two stars and a clear shimmer brush over the stars, moon and winges on the image.
These three images can be found HERE at Poldadoodles. You get get them as a pre-colored or not. I chose not. I made these six cards to be CAS. The sentiments used are my own.

Happy Saturday! It's just a week away (minus a day), you need to wear GREEN!! I recently read somewhere that the reason you need to wear green is so the leprechauns don't see you. If you don't wear green on St. Patrick's Day, they can see you and will pinch you! Well, who am I to argue with so many years of tradition? 😉
This fun fold was made using a Rick St. Dennis image (the clover pot) and an image from Fearyink (the girl leprechaun). This funfold was just done live over at Dawns Live on Youtube - HERE. Obviously she used totally different papers and things...awesome papers!! I chose to do a joke using a strip of transparency film with the 'punch line' hidden until you open the funfold.
It is difficult to see in the pictures, but I did use a gold shimmer brush on the four leaf clovers on the right side of the card and on the gold coins. I used a clear shimmer brush on the two pots.
Thanks for looking!

This is a new set from Jan's Digi Stamps called Rain Dance. I just paper pieced the umbrella, added the rain and one of the sentiments from the set and used some die cut clouds. I added lace and ribbon.
Thanks for looking!

This card was made using the new release called Dogwood Blooms. I also used a fun embossing folder that I used a gold pen on for the center of the flowers. I added a bow. Nothing like sweet and simple, which is all one needs on a sympathy card. Right?
I'm late getting these cards posted! This is for the current challenge over at Incy Wincy Designs, the challenge theme is "Pets and/or Happiness" We have two sponsors for this challenge, they are:

For this card I used an image from Last Minute Manda from the set called Crazy Cat Lady. I made my own sentiment for this one.
I only have one cat, but she brings me a lot of happiness! I'm hoping the humor in this card brings you some happiness!!
Thanks for looking!
