Thank you Froggie

This fun image is from QKR, he is called Frog and Dragonfly.  The perfect image for someone who loves frogs and...well...dragonflies!  LOL  For this card for some reason I went all round, circles galore!  I started with a pre-made scallop circle card base from i-craft Studio G (comes in a pack of 8 w/envelopes).  I then added some cheese cloth, die cut circles, cut the image out using a circle die, used a dragonfly die, added flowers and heart gems, some leaf dies, some twine and a sentiment from Create With TLC that was cut out using a banner/flag die. 

Thanks for looking!

True Friendship

This fortnight the challenge theme over at Incy Wincy Designs is 'Clean and Simple'.  We have two sponosrs, Sticker You .com and Createful Hearts Digis.  I used a fun image called Up Up Away, but I can't find it in the Createful Hearts store...  The sentiment is from Create With TLC.  I added a hemp bow and a single gem.

"Steampunk" Love

I had to play with this totally awesome image from Rick St. Dennis.  How about a "romantic" "steampunk" Valentine card?  This is called Steampunk Rose Bug.  The sentiments are from Create With TLC.  I added a couple bows, some steampunk gears and a fun pearl flower.  I think this is my first attempt at a book card...  I followed these instructions.

Valentine for A Friend

One of my co-workers (I think I say that a lot on here), asked me to make some cards for her.  This is one of the cards she requested with a particular scripture she wanted on it.  All I used on this was DP, dies and gems.

This is the front of the card, I kept it VERY CAS by only using DP.

I love you this much

This fortnight over at Crafting With Dragonflies the challenge is "Valentine/Romantic".  I chose to use a pre-colored image from Fred She Said called "love you this much".  I added some gems, lace, stickpins, and some designer paper.  I think she turned out adorable!  Love the pre-colored images from Fred She Said!

A Beam of Sunlight

This sweet image is from QKR, normally I get the silly ones they have, but being a lover of butterflies, I had to have this one!!  :)  The sentiment is from Create With TLC.  I chose to keep this CAS, so it is only the one layer with some sequins and a bow to top it off.  I colored this with chalk.

another fun fold

This is an "Open Center Box Card", made using the pre-colored images and paper from a fun set by The Paper Shelter called Friends Over The Rainbow.  I found this idea on HERE.  You can find the links for written measurements there.  For the front I used the same paper and also some dies.  My favorite thing about this card is that it is flat for mailing!

Golf Frustration

This fun image is from QKR, love this old guy!!  The two sided paper is from Stampin Up.  I also used a fun embossing folder and some twine.  I added some gold gems and some Glossy Accnets over his glasses and on the golf ball, otherwise, I kept this fairly simple.

Mermaid Birthday Gift

I saw this idea on Pinterest and decided I needed to give it a try.  I purchased a small fish bowl and some glass gems, poured the gems into the bowl then got to work on the scene.  The images are from a Fred She Said set called Emma The Mermaid.  I printed out the images, then printed them again flipped so that I could have the fish bowl two sided.  I used toothpicks between the two sides so they could poke into the glass gems.  I used some hemp twine around the rim and cut out the word dies from a sticker sheet.

Dragonfly Double Slider Card

The first challenge of this new year over at Crafting With Dragonflies is "Anything Goes".  I decided I needed to use a Dragonfly die for the new year's challenge!  :)  I love the double slider technique!  For this one I didn't use any stamps.  I used dies, flowers, gems, pearls and ribbon.
