Puppy Love to the Vets

Hi Crafty Friends,

My mum had to put her 16 year old dog down last week and she was really pleased with how sweet the Vet and staff were to her, bringing her a cuppa and making sure her little Benson was comfy in his basket and so forth. She was saying how she wanted to buy them a tin of biscuits for morning tea to show her appreciation and I said I could make a card for her to take along too. Apparently they all loved it (and the Scottie Terrier shaped shortbread biscuits and tin we luckily happened to find).

I got this digi from a place called something like Can You Dig It but I have googled and can no longer find them, sorry as I know some of you would like him, he's such a sweetie isn't he? 

The flower and pearls are from Flourish with a Bling who have a sale on in February - every product is only $2 each, if interested please click on the name to be taken to the store to check out the bargains.

Mint and pink Valentine Girl (Saturated Canary image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

I think this image is a bit cute don't you? You can find her at Saturated Canary. I have had ribbon buckles for so long and keep forgetting to use them but I love how they look on a card. I doodled on some faux stitching, I really should get my sewing machine out and learn how to use it one of these days hehe.

Sparkly dressed Girl (Sami Stamps image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

Wow, have you ever tried to photograph a glitter card? All the papers for this card were glitter paper and I glittered her dress also and this was incredibly difficult to make look good in a photo even though in real life it's a very elegant and sassy card. 

I love this gorgeous image from Sami Stamps, she's so fine!! My daughter gave me the little black flowers, they were for her nails but she didn't want them anymore, perfect to add the finishing touch to my card I think.

Blue shabby rhinestone card (The Greeting Farm image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

This card is using a gorgeous image from The Greeting Farm, I have had her forever but still love this rubber stamp. For this card I used an embossing folder, something I don't actually get out and use very much although I love how everyone else seems to create so beautifully with them. Once I'd embossed the teal paper I lightly went over it with sandpaper so you can see the details better. 

I used some love heart stamps, snowflake die cuts and some Flourish with a Bling - Elise silver flourish, Elise white flower and silver rhinestones. Flourish with a Bling is selling all their products for $2 each this month, that's more than half off most products!! I hope you'll check out our website as we have our own unique products and we post worldwide.
