Furry Friend Thank yous

Another awesome Card a Day blog challenge.  Hope you'll come join them soon.

A friend who volunteers at several animal shelters in town asked me to make some cards for them to use. I ordered paper and a punch a while back and I'm finally making the cards. These are extra easy to
make. All you need is paper really. I used WE R Memories 6x6 Furry Friends paper stack and misc off white card stock for the base. I cut the blocks from the paper for the front pieces. THe bottom edge is a strip of the patterned paper in the stack.  I cut it with my border punch but you could just add it without being punched. I selected another lighter color pattern from the stack, stamped "Thank You" then cut it out with my nestibilites.  If you don't have a stamp, you can hand write it and cut it out with scissors or a cutter.Thanks for stopping by and looking.  Think CHandra will like the cards ;-)?

Here are all 6 of the cards...

Here's a close up of two of the cards. 

Valentine's Cards

Card a Day blog is back to offering challenges. One of the challenges this month is Valentine's cards. Here are two I made last night. These are very simple. I used a Sizzix embossing folder for the background of the card on the left then inked over the raised design. I added an embossed heart from the small set I got with my Cuddlebug. The card on the right is even more simple. I stamped Happy Valentine's Day (misc stamp I have) and cut it out with the Labels 4 Nestibilites set. I used the same paper for the background and popped up the sentiment. Thanks for visiting!

ANother Christmas Card

Here's 1 of 6 cards I made for the Paperthreads Dec. Card Challenge.  I used the challenge file created by Auzzie Caz and added the Mary & Joseph from Jennie Bean Crafts Bauble file to it.  The pattern paper is all scraps from the Basic Grey FruitCake line.  I'm also going to use this for the December challenge at Card a Day blog.  This is another good one for Christmas celebration.  I forgot to mention in my last post that my floating Santa was for the Christmas and Children theme:).

Floating Santa

Here's a funny guy - lol.  When I saw Chris used this as her post at Card a Day Blog, I decided I had to share my version of it here and there too.
I made this for a challenge at Visual Designs by Chris.  I used Chris' cutter file...CD00882 - Floating Santa, the free card template file for the challenge by AuzzeiCaz, and the Ho Ho Ho is from Sam and Hailey Designs file (also at Visual Designs by Chris)... JB00059 - Frame-a-Page Christmas Morning.  I don't remember who makes the striped paper and the rest is probably Bazzil cardstock.  I think Santa is so cute in this file.  I'm giving this card to our Youth Minister and family...they will love Santa's silly looks:).

Thanks for looking and come over to Card a Day Blog and join the fun!!!

Oh - and this is my entry for Christmas and Children.

Merry Chris-Moose

I made this a couple of weeks ago when I was making cards for a challenge at Paperthreads and for the Card a Day blog challenge.  I made several at the same time and decided to not use this one on the Card a Day blog. But now this month the challenge is to go back and do any of the themes, so this one fits the Christmas and Animals theme from 2 months ago:).   I hope to make a few more to post before the end of this month's Card a Day challenge but this week is very full.

Now the card... I used the free card template provided for the challenge at Paperthreads. Then I added Chris Moose from Michelle's Chris Moose File (WB00267).  You can find it in the store at Paperthreads. The papers are all from my stash of Christmas paper and it is a huge stash! cus I love anything Christmas.  The ornaments were cut from a piece a Christmas paper.  Thanks for looking and come join the fun at Card a Day .

Celebrate Christmas

that's the theme this week on Card a Day blogspot.  I made the following card for it. I used a free card template file from the Paperthreads.com Sept. card challenge.  The papers are SEI Alpine, Bo Bunny and SU!  They blended very well.  The tag can be used as a bookmark or a gift tag later.  This has been a fun month for me with the Card a Day blogspot challenges.  I love Christmas and making Christmas cards :-).  I really wish someone else would start doing the challenges besides me.

Have you started your shopping yet?

I haven't, but I did start today and finished my son's.  Here's the card I made for the Card a Day Blog theme of Shopping.  I also used it for a challenge at Visual Designs by Chris.  The round base was a free file for joining the VDBC challenge, then I added a Sam and Hailey Designs file  (JB00062 - Gift Trio) to complete it. You can find both files in the VDBC Store .  Thanks for stopping by.
