Two Hearts One Love

K so I wanted to make a valentines card since I am on a roll making them and also wanted to show off Amanda's heart paper . This would be the first time I printed out a paper design and I have to say it turned out pretty darn cute I have to say. I cut the base out and then cut my cute hearts out on my cricut. I next stamped a couple of peachy keen faces to them. Last but least the sentiment which is from my pink stamper stamps and  added ribbon which was from good old walmart. I hope you love this card as much as I do.

HOW old ?

A simple, effective and slighty evil 6"x6" card using Amanda's Laughing Dog from her "HEY DIDDLE DIDDLE" range.

I coloured him digitally and added some text onto the background papers which are also from Amanda, I've used two of the blue hues from her "DOT PASTEL PAPER PACK"

After printing off the papers and dog I simply cut out the little fellow and used foam pads to lift him off the page.

Lastly I added some Clear gloss Sakura to the black text to make it stand out more and some

3D Lacquer over his nose and pads.

Sneak Peek Wednesday

Understated Birthday

I made this card, using A.J.'s Digi Shoppe digital stamps, for someone who is wishing to downplay their birthday this year.  I matched this card to the tastes of the recipient using autumn colors and animal print.  I used the very versatile brown paper from the Gingerbread Paper Pack as a background matte and used the Birthday Candle (colored digitally) to represent the idea that this is, in fact, a birthday card.

Store Rebuild and Free Digi

As we grow (adding colored digital stamps) I am redoing certain parts of the Digi Shoppe.  I will eventually get through all sections of the Digi Shoppe but I am doing it in stages.  I am currently rebuilding the Duck Page to include colored ducks as well and black and white.  It is one more step but I think this new look will really help everyone see what the stamps look like.

What the new screen looks like.

What the purchase screen now looks like.

I am really excited to finish this and please check out the newly redesigned Freebie Section of the Digi Shoppe (not the blog) to see what new items I added this weekend.

I also want to apologize to my faithful Newsletter Readers with attaching last months Free Digital Stamp.  Please click on the picture below to get the Digital Stamp that was suppose to be in January's Newsletter.
