Diamond plate masculine birthday card

 It is Don's birthday today and this is the card I made and mailed (it will be late)

 Using silver metallic cardstock I ran it through the diamond plate embossing folder.

 Using Creative Memories very old punches I made "nuts" . I inked with silver ink and raised them on foam pieces to give dimension.

 Inside sentiment

Finished card.

Back to school card

I mailed this card to my friend Allison's little daughter who is starting first grade next week.

Pencil cut from a Cricut cartridge.

The grass is a strip of green paper run through the Herringbone Cuttlebug embossing folder.

The sheep is made from Stampin Up punches. Scallop circle for the body. Word window punch for the legs

Various circles to make the head and eyes and the triple flower SU punch for the head fur!

Rabbit hole Bunny Tail card

I so much wanted to create the bunny jumping into the rabbit hole card, however this weekend was a FAIL!.

This is the best I could come up with before the letter carrier was coming.  After I took the picture, sealed the envelope I forgot to put the little feet pads! Ugh.
Anyways - next year I hope to do better.

I showed the picture of the card to a friend and she could not assertain it was a bunny jumping into a bunny hole. Drats.
However I do like the cottonball tail I did!  However the tail should have been higher. Double drats.
Sentiment, embossing and punches are from Stampin' Up!

A fish of a friend

When I saw Jackie Topa create this kitty hanging on a fish bowl - I had to try my hand at it.

I sent this card to my daughter and she got it today and loved it. You see the story behind this is, she had a fish last year and our cat managed to scoop it out but we saved it!

So when I saw Jackie's card I just had to make it! I had to make my own fish out of a few different punch pieces, I think Jackie's was drawn in. My kitty was made up from smaller punches but I think he came out cute.

Excuse the quality of the image above as in my haste to mail it to my daughter yesterday I forgot to capture a picture - so my daughter snapped it tonight at her place with her cell phone.
