Natasha's Birthday 2023 - Fence/Split/Lattice Card/Tent Card

Hello Friends,
My first attempt at a Fence/Split/Lattice Card/Tent Card which I made for my daughter's birthday. I made the base first and then decorated it.  The Wisteria Flowers were cut using White Basic card, smooshed into Bashful Blue, Balmy Blue and Highland Heather ink.  The leaves are cut from Pear Pizzazz.  Most of the fence and Highland Heather card was embossed with the Subtle E/Folder.
I used Designer Paper for the inside panel behind the fence and Highland Heather for the front panel.  The sentiment was stamped with Gorgeous Grape, punched out with the Oval Punch and a Scalloped edges oval for the mat in Highland Heather.
Thanks for your visit today, lovely to see you here.
Hugs,

Happy Mother's Day #4 Labrador

Cheers,
Today's card is the last one I made for my Friend, which he loved.  I found the image on the Internet and resized it and printed it onto thin Basic White card.  The Sentiment was White embossed on black card and the hearts cut with a Stamplorations die. I added the Kaisercraft Heart on the dog's collar.  For the inside I printed a smaller version of the dog, added a small heart and on the other side I added the heart with the Mother's Day greeting.
Thanks for popping in today, lovely to see you here.

Happy Mother's Day

Hello Friends,
This is one of the cards I made for a Friend.  I used a thin Basic White folded card for the front, stamping the flowers on the front piece after removing the stamp from the Hollyhock Wheel.  I then stamped the house and gate on scraps and cut them out removing the little girl that was standing at the gate.  Everthing was coloured with Stampin' Up Markers and an Aqua Painter.   The Background was stamped and the sky watercoloured with the smooshing technique.  I added the Mother's Day Sentiment and the Mini Crystal for the door.  I also used a Clear Wink of Stella Brush on the roof and windows of the house.
Thanks for stopping by today, wonderful to see you here.

Happy Valentine's Day

Hi there,
Today's card was requested by a Friend for his Partner, hope he likes it.  I cut the heart shape at the bottom of the card and then embossed the white mat with a heart embossing folder, printed the photo and placed it under the die cut.  I then cut the red and white hearts out and stamped the white ones.  The little hearts were punched out.  I finished the inside with the cross-stitched pattern as one of the Men does cross stitching.

Wonderful to see you here today, Happy Valentine's Day!

Christmas Money Holder 2022 - Keira

Hello,
Today I used Tim Holtz's Christmas Cookie die cuts for my Money Holder.  I had fun chasing all the little pieces as they were coloured with a Copic before I inlaid them on each cookie, took me a while but the end result was worth it. I die cut the mat and stamped the sentiment with Soft Suede.  The Base of the Cookies were also sponged with Soft Suede ink.
