What better way to start off a new year of challenges than with a touch of humor!  After all, laughter is the best medicine, so the saying goes.  I have a friend and fellow stamper who is undergoing major surgery, with six months of recovery time facing her.  I thought this humorous card, which also features stitching, would be a day brightener.  What do you think? Enjoy!

Isn’t this little fella cute? I snipped him from a sheet of Stampin’ Up!’s Animal Expedition Designer Series Paper.   The rectangles were die cut in a snap,  using the new Rectangle Stitched framelits, available in the Occasions Catalog.  (If you need a paper copy,  just let me know.) I hope you enjoy today’s humorous card.

The Stampin’ Schach Design Tips

Today’s card is all about the layers!  Layering has never been easier because of the new Rectangle Stitched Framelits.

Sometimes the neatest images are found in the patterns of the designer papers, and so it is with this adorable sloth.

The sloth was snipped out and “popped” up on dimensionals.  Inked in Berry Burst,  the sentiment (from Hanging Garden) was accented with snipped out leaves and a cheery little bird.  A single rhinestone adds just the perfect touch of sparkle.

Hopefully this humorous card will brighten up my friend’s day.  What do you think?

Valentine CardI hope you enjoy my “mouse adorned” Valentine card. They are a sweet little couple, don’t you think?

The Stampin’ Schach Design Tips

These cutie-patootie mice were inked in Basic Gray, but their fur is Smoky Slate.  They are sharing a Lovely Lipstick heart, which is from the Meant to Be stamp set.  Although I used a die to cut out our furry couple, I snipped away the extra grass at their feet.

Valentine card

They are perched on a Whisper White Stitched heart, die cut using a framelit from the Be Mine Stitched Framelits collection. The lacy white heart was die cut at the same time. I can’t wait to use these framelits again.

Valentine card

Of course, I think the it’s the Lace Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder which steals the show.  I absolutely LOVE this folder!
