The Stampin’ Schach’s Design Tips

Nothing says “sassy” like a paper pieced Evening Evergreen leopard print dress, and a flower in one’s hair! With a little Flirty Flamingo blush on the cheeks and Balmy Blue eye shadow, this little gal is ready to send her sincere thanks…and we had better feel special!  The 2021 – 2023 In Colors provided a beautiful color palette, especially when paired with Pansy Petal paper.  Of course, pearls make the perfect pansy centers.

A Birthday on the Horizon

, , ,
Comments: 16

Does someone you know have a birthday on the horizon?  April is a huge birthday month for me, and I needed several cards for friends and family.   If you are like me and need a lot of cards, this design might be right up your alley.  It’s time to play at Festive Friday – Home of the Inspo List!

birthday on the horizon

For this week’s challenge, we are inspired by World Art Day. Remember, at Festive Friday you do not need to actually celebrate or make a card for the occasion featured. Your goal is to simply use three or more items from the inspiration list on your project. I used watercolor paper, landscape, and watercolor pencils to create my card. I can’t wait to see what YOU create!

The Stampin’ Schach Design Tips

The gorgeous New Horizons designer series paper forms the backdrop for today’s card.   It’s easy to step it up with die cuts created with Horizon dies and a variety of embellishments, like flowers, butterflies and pebbles.  It truly is an easy card to create.   And in keeping with the theme of World Art Day,  it is reminiscent of a plein air painting. This is one card I can’t wait to send out.

Notes from Nueve

Hi, everyone! I have nub-waggin’ news.  Sixxy and I passed our echocardiograms.  Sunday, we got to see Dr. Heidi the Cardiologist.  Since she is a cardiologist, I think she makes cards, just like my Mom.  She was so kind, and told me I had a nice butt!  I never noticed before, but my butt does seem to glow.

birthday on the horizon

I tried to lick her face to thank her, but she was too quick! Sixxy was faster, and licked her glasses.  When we got home, we wanted to share our good news with everyone.  I looked for the neighbors, but they weren’t to be found.

birthday on the horizon

Sixxy looked for the neighbors, too, but she didn’t see them either.

birthday on the horizon

Uncle Q, who is home visiting us for a week,  helped us look out the front window. But there were no neighbors anywhere to help us celebrate.

birthday on the horizon

Mom said it was OK .  She said what’s important is that we can be happy for ourselves and by ourselves.   So I celebrated by myself a lot. I ran in the yard. I chewed chews. I ate the cheeseburger Mom and Dad bought for each of us. I worked really hard at celebrating my healthy heart. After all,  working hard is what I do.  I’m a working dog.  I am Good Boy Nueve!

You Are Fierce

Comments: 15

In keeping with the uplifting, affirmative cards I have been posting recently, here’s one for the guys! You ARE Fierce! It’s Sunday, and time to play with The Paper Players!

You Are Fierce

This week, the lovely and talented LeAnne is hosting our monthly sketch challenge. With its three panels and prominent sentiment, today’s sketch is perfect for showing off designer series paper, and is SO versatile! I can’t wait to see what YOU create!

You Are Fierce

The Stampin’ Schach Design Tips

Today’s card was created with a purpose. Our son, Brady, was recently promoted, and I wanted to send him a card to congratulate him for his hard work and dedication.  As a little boy, he loved lions, tigers, dinosaurs and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Well, I didn’t happen to have any lion, dinosaur or TMNT paper, but I did have In the Wild designer series paper on hand.  He will get a kick out of the paper, for sure.  Plus, I know the “You Are Fierce” sentiment, which was heat embossed and die cut out using a tiger die from the Big Cats collection, will bring a smile to his face.  Isn’t it great to be able to tailor the cards you make to the recipient?  It’s one of my favorite things about making hand-made cards.

You Are Fierce

Because I was ready to send this card on its way, I went ahead and decorated the inside of it with a sentiment from the Soaring Swallows stamp set.  Here’s a peak:

Notes from Nueve

Hooray!  Sixxy and I passed the first part of our heart testing.  Our ‘trodes showed zeros, and Mom said that’s a good thing.  Now we have to have something called an echocardiogram done.  Dr. Heidi from Wisconsin is going to do them. She did Uncle Jackie and Uncle Q’s “echos”, so we are excited to meet her.

Because it has been cold and wet and windy, we haven’t been able to go on walks. Mom said it was good weather to start her Spring cleaning.  I didn’t know Mom had any springs to clean, but I guess she does.  I think she was looking for springs to clean in drawers, but she found these “danbanas” instead.

You are fierce

The pink one used to be Aunt Lexi’s.  Aunt Lexi loved it, and always looked so pretty in it.  I think Sixxy looks pretty in it, too.

you are fierce

I got a red one.  Mom said it belonged to Missy the Boxer.  I didn’t know Missy. Missy was here before Great Aunt Muffy and Great Uncle Brody.  But, I feel very special that Mom loves me enough to let me wear it.

you are fierce

It’s hard work looking this handsome, and sometimes I get very tired and have to take a nap.

you are fierce

But, looking good is all part of the job.  I’m a working dog.  I am Good Boy Nueve!
