AH Finally..New Post & New Puppy!

Finally! It feels sooooo good to have something new to post.

I actually just finished an order of 80 High School Graduation Invitations. I will be posting them soon! Now on to a card I made for my hubby's aunt & uncle. Some of you may remember the pet sympathy card I made for them and posted a couple weeks ago. They lost their beloved Border Collie, Mandy. Well they decided to dive in and a adopt a new little furry friend...another Border Collie.

Here is the card I came up with....

The image of the dog was a clip art I found online. I cut him out with my Nesties. I cut the shadow Nestie twice once in white and then in black. I cut the black one in half so it looks like it changes color on the opposite sides. The ribbon was from my stash. I added a few brads at the top and I was done.
Here is the inside.....

I used word to make "New Puppy" and cut Nestie scallops to circle it. The "congratulations" stamp is from Stampabilities.

Hope you and they like!

Thanks for stopping by!

New Puppy and a Pink Elephant!

Good Afternoon!

It feels like forever since I posted something!

The challenge this week over at the Pink Elephant was to use buttons. If you haven't been over to check them out yet do so here.

I did this card for my Uncle and Aunt who showed up yesterday on their way home with a new puppy! It's called a Morkie. It's a mix of a Maltese and a Yorkie. His name is Dexter and he's just the sweetest thing. We had him in the back yard and he was scooting around so fast. He doesn't run he more hops like a bunny. It's too cute.

I wanted to make a card and he's mostly black so here is what I came up with following the challenge..... I thought the dog cut from Animal Kingdom was perfect. It looks just like him. I tried to use my Peechy Keens to stamp his face in white but it looked horrible so I just left it as a silhouette. I cut him twice and pop dotted him to give him depth. I used a little ribbon and a button for his collar. The sentiment is computer generated and then cut with Nestabilities using the Cuttlebug. I used my new Martha Stewart Cornice punch for a border down the side and the same ribbon for the collar and a few buttons. I used the ticket punch from Stampin' Up around the center block and put tiny button brads in the arc's. The paper is from the new DCWV La Creme stack. Thanks for looking!
