Precious Baby

I made this card for a friend who had a baby a while ago.  She lives in Hawaii.  I didn't have any tropical paper so I used origami paper left over from a past hobby.  I always forget to leave room for a sentiment.  When I saw My Creative Time's "Teeny Tag Greetings"  I knew they were perfect for me.  The set comes With two small dies so you can layer the tag.  Also included are 27 sentiments,  You can check out this set and more HERE

POODLE HEART CARD

I have been so lucky lately to have won a few challenges.  I won a set of Cardz Tv stamps.  The set I chose is called "Barks and Bones"  If you are a dog lover or know a dog lover this set is a must. Click HERE  to check it out.

 The shaped card is from A Wild Card cut at 6"using DCWV paper.   I also cut the frame at 6"  I used Core'dinations Sand It, Tear It, Love It. The outside of the frame is the under side of the cardstock.  I embossed the inside heart with Swiss Dots and used sandpaper to distress.  The poodles are from "A Summer in Paris" 1.5".  I cut the bow off of the tail of the boy dog. All other paper is DCWV.  I used Cardz TV Stamp with Vivid Ink.  It is all stuck together with ATG and Recollections Dimensional.  Gems are from my stash.
