POODLE BIRTHDAY

Usually I only make one card at a time.  When I saw this weeks MOJO MONDAY sketch, I decided to make 7 versions of the sketch.  I had a box of blank David Tutera  blank cards.  Here are 2 versions.

 The top card is cut from Once Upon a Princess.  The bone die is MCT.  The sentiment is Scrappy Moms.The ribbon was off a gift.  I embossed the circle with a Darice paw folder.  The solid chalkboard paper is DCWV.  The patterned papers are My Minds Eye.I am entering this card into The Dog Days of Summer Challenge at BBTB2

This second card uses the same papers.  The sentiment is from My Craft Spot.  The cut is Paisley and the lace is Recollections.

TALL UMBRELLA CARD

I made this tall card for a friend who just had her gall bladder out.  I had to cut the boot large in order to fit the puppy in.  So I made a 4"X8.5" card.

Gossip

I made a card for MAG challenge by the page.http://magchallengebythepage.blogspot.com/  For this challenge the only cuts you can you are page  of the Paisley cartridge.  Which consists of a mushroom, a heart and the word "Gossip"  I wanted to do something hi-tech with a DCWV paper pad, but changed my mind when I saw these K&Company Stickers.  Birds, tweeting, gossip..Even though I have no clue on how to tweet I thought this was a cute idea.
All of the patterned paper and stickers are K&Company.  The birds are part of a border that I cut up.  I love this "Poppyseed" collection so much that I keep adding to it.  The solid paper is DCWV adhesive mat stack.  I used my Cricut with the "Paisley" cartridge to cut "gossip" at 1.50" I went around the edges with a stamp from G Studio.  The scalloped square is a  Marvy Uchida punch.  I used ATG for adhesive.

Sometimes Things just don't Turn Out How You Imagine

This card is an example of what I said I wasn't going to do yesterday.  I said I wasn't going to make cards just for challenges.  But as I was looking thru my lis I saw that Scrappy Moms had a challenge using Paisley and Cardz Tv had one using the card feature on a cartridge.  So I saw that Paisley had a card feature with a cut out paisley.  I figured I would back the hole with glitter, then make the layers smaller and add them on top.  However when I cut the card I saw it had a tab on the back and it was more like an envelope.  So I cut it again using my gypsy to modify it. Didn't work.  So I backed the whole with sticky tape, added glitter and the layers.  The card part looked terrible, so I cut around the paisley and added it to a  blank card that I had got on sale at Paper Source.  It turned out well, but not how I visioned.  I usually take photos in sunlight, however I took so long that it was not very sunny.  So I taped the card to a piece of paper, then taped it to a window. So that's why there is tape on top
I am just going to give the products I used because I modified everything so much I don't know the dimensions
