Hugs are the Best Medicine

I made this card for a friend who is recovering from surgery.

I used the Nurse Nightingale stamp image from Kraftin' Kimmie. 

Overlapped some washi tape to decorate the corner.

I also added a couple of buttons to decorate the bottom of the card. I really like the sparkly green button. ^_^

You are Truly Awesome

This was the first card I made for a "client". =D It was for her niece's Sweet 16.

I used the Anya Treat image from the Greeting Farm.

I die cut some hearts and covered them in Glossy Accents. I stamped "Are Truly Awesome" on a piece of vellum to make them stand out more.

I die cut the word "you" and covered it with glitter.

I got so excited making this card that I made a matching envelope and sticker too.

Life is Like a Camera

Made this card for another friend. I love the sentiment and just had to use it on this card.

The sentiment and the images came from the We Click stamp set from Mama Elephant.

I added a piece of acetate behind the Polaroid picture frame to make it look like a real Polaroid picture. I also painted the camera with Tim Holtz's Distress Paint in Brushed Pewter.

You're Very Special and So Very Incredible!

I made this card for a friend as a little pick-me-up. I just had to remind her how special and incredible she is.

I added some blue, pink, and silver highlights on the stamped sentiment to match the flowers. I also drew little dots with the same three colours and covered them with Glossy Accents.

I made the flowers by painting on a piece of white card stock with Tim Holtz's Distressed Paints in Spun Sugar, Salty Ocean and Brushed Pewter. After it dried I stamped the roses and fussy cut them out.

Happy Mother's Day!!

I made this card for my mommy for Mother's Day.

I first stamped the background image with a pastel green ink and then I used pencil crayons to colour in all the flowers. It took me all night to finish colouring it, but it was worth it because the card is for my mommy!! The green strip of paper was created by stamping a rose image repeatedly. The hearts were chipboard die cuts that I covered in white Enamel Accents. The word Mom was die cut from an alphabet die. The letters were die cut 6 times and then glued together before I coloured it green with Copic Markers and finished it with Glossy Accents. 

It took my mom a few extra seconds to figure out how to open this card. Hehehe ^_^

Here's a better look at the background papers.

Happy Birthday Joyce

I made this card for my cousin, Joyce. She loves monkeys so I especially chose this little monkey image for her.

I stamped and coloured the little monkey before fussy cutting him out. I then die cut three circles on a blue card stock and placed the monkey behind two of the circles making him look like he's standing behind and popping out to present his cupcake.

I used a white gel pen to put dotted lines around the circles and drew in a few more circles to fill in the empty spaces.

I stamped, coloured, and fussy cut the cupcake again so I can pop it up to give the card more dimension.

Happy Birthday Aunt Jennifer!

Hi everyone, I'm back from Calgary. It was my first time back home since the wedding and it was so nice to see all of my family, relatives, and friends! It was especially nice to meet my new baby cousin, Tyson, for the first time. I also got to meet Casey, my friend's baby girl, who also was born after I moved. 

And now that all my cards have been given out I can finally post them here and share them with everyone. I made this one for my Aunt Jennifer's birthday.

I stamped the background with Versa Mark Ink and then heat embossed it with clear embossing powder.

This cute image is called Rosie and I purchased her from Purple Onion Designs. It is designed by Stacey Yacula and I just adore her art work and designs!
