MacDuff on a Card

We have a Scottish terrier at our house.
He is such a sweetie. Needless to say I
have a nice collection of Scotties stamps and
doggies phrases.
The die of the Scottish terrier was a
gift from my friend Rose in Wales.
It is just so cute!
The paws print border is from an
EK Success border punch.
Phrase stamp from I think Endless Creations.

Sympathy Cards

The top portion of the card has been
embossed with embossing folders from
Cuttlebug or Sizzix and the decorative punched
"ribbons" are Martha Stewart, EK Success or Fiskars.

These cards will be a gift to someone who is dear to me.
She commented that she was always running out
of sympathy cards.
Now I don't know about all of you,
but most of my family and friends have
pretty much every thing that they need,
so when they comment that they do actually
have a real need for something, I am
thrilled. I just hate buying dust catchers
for people or am item that is less than thrilling.
(you can tell by the look on their face when they open the package.)

The papers used on the lower third of the card
are whatever matched from my scrap box.

Lotus and Flowers

Since things have been a little busy around here lately
I decided to share three cards at once.
They are all the same basic idea -
teabag folded flowers on a Spellbinders lotus die cut.

The above card is the only one that has
a stamped phrase. Stamp by Stampabilities.
I do like the rounded corners. It really softens a design.

This card has a punched border at the
top and bottom. The casual flowers on
the scrapbook paper that covers the card base
match the informal type flowers
of the EK Success Martha Stewart punch.
