Eclipse Card forJennifer

 I used to make a lot of eclipse cards and decided to make another one to send to Jennifer.  I love everything about them.  Even though she has a new puppy she still loves cats.  I used SU's stamp set Pretty Kitty.  I have made a lot of cards with this set. It is so cute!  I made my base card 5"x7" in SU's Sweet Sugarplum with my layer in Very Vanilla.  I stamped and colored the cute kitty design and then used SU's Large Letter Framelits to cut out the word HUGS which I popped up with adhesive foam strips.  They do such a great job on these types of cards.      

I couldn't find any stamp in my stash that had the right wording, and then I remembered that my daughter and her husband had found some stamp sets at a garage sale last year that had letters.  This set was labelled Alphadots made in 2004.  I used my stamp positioner, and I loved how it turned out.  I decided to use my small butterfly stamp from SU and some enamel dots to finish the front off.

For my inside sentiment, I used SU's Botanicals for You stamp set along with their Bordering Blooms.  I had an extra butterfly, so I decided to use that as well as some more enamel dots.  It made me feel good to use some stamp sets that I haven't used for awhile, as well as some supplies that I have had around for awhile.

Happy Birthday Eclipse Card

Today I have another birthday card I made.  I am in love with eclipse cards and saw this on Pinterest and decided to try it.  It is a larger size card than I usually make, but I wanted more room for my letters.  My base card I used Thick Whisper White CS cut at 9" x 6 1/4" and scored at 4 1/2".  I won't tell you how long it took me to figure this size out but I made it!!  Years ago I had purchase this DSP with pansies all over it, and I still have some sheets left so I decided to use it for this card. 

I used my Large Letters dies from SU to cut out the word Happy and also some thick cardboard to mount them on so they would stand out more.  I used the foam adhesive strips to mount them on the CS.  I love these, they do such a great job!  I then cut some strips of my pansy DSP and mounted then on strips of Daffodil Delight CS leaving a 1/8" border.  My Birthday sentiment was from the # of Years Stamp set by SU.  I actually had some yellow enamel dots that adhered on the front as well.  It's amazing how sometimes things can actually come together.

My inside was done in Daffodil Delight CS using the Better Together stamp set by SU for the sentiment.  I fussy cut one of the pansies and added it to my inside to dress it up a bit.  Today my daughter and her finance are picking up their RV that they just purchased, so everyone is all excited.  Everyone has lots of ideas where they want to go, so this should be interesting!  Hope everyone has a great week!

Eclipse Valentine Cards

I can't believe a week has already gone by since I last posted!  I have been busy making some Valentine crafts and decided I had better make some cards before it gets too late to send them out!  I saw these cards made on -The Cows Whisperer's Creative Cards - facebook and thought they were so unique.  She does a facebook live every Tuesday at 8PM EST.  I have been wanting to make some eclipse cards and loved how she switched the lettering on the two sets of cards.  These are the 2 cards that I made embossing the gold foil.  I loved how they turned out.  You can use any embossing folder that you have.  That layer piece is 3 3/4" x 5".

These are the other two cards that were made with the DSP for the layer using the foil letters.

Here is what I put on the inside.

For those that are stamping their planner pages, here is mine for February.

I so enjoy doing these pages.  It makes me smile everytime I use my planner.

I used SU's stamp set Sealed with a Kiss for this project.  I used Powder Pink and Rich Razzleberry for my CS and the Painted with Love for the DSP.  Hope everyone has a great weekend.
