Pink and Gold Birthday Card

I love making cards for my friends. I can’t wait to send out this pink and gold birthday card to someone who LOVES girly-girly things! It’s Sunday, and time to play with The Paper Players!

Pink and Gold Birthday cardI have the pleasure of being your hostess this week. Because this is the fifth Sunday in a month, we all know what that means! It’s time for Tic-Tac-Toe!  I have a very fun board, with a little bit of everything for everyone. I hit all the boxes, except for slimline, with my feminine birthday card in pink and gold.  I can’t wait to see what YOU create!

The Stampin’ Schach Design Tips

Sometimes cards with many elements look difficult to make.  But you know what? They really aren’t. They just take a little more time is all, and in the case of this card, cranking through the Stampin’ Cut and Emboss machine!  I used the floral and grid Chic dies and the dainty floral stem Honeybee Blooms dies, placing them all on the same piece of matte finish Rose Gold paper. They were die cut in one fell swoop. How easy is that! The only stamping was the single Petal Pink blossom, and the gold heat embossed sentiment. The label die from Stylish Shapes fits the birthday sentiment from Wildflower Path perfectly!

Nueve’s Notes

Hey, everyone! It’s me, Nueve!  I got to go the Big Park again.  You know, the one by the Missy Pibby Ribber!  It was super hot, though, and there were lots of bugs.  They were awful.  Mom wanted to get our pictures taken by a really old bench, with fuzzy green stuff growing on it, but the bitey bugs were really bad.  Mom said they were “Moeskeetos”, but I think bitey-bugs is easier to say.  We ended up sitting on a bench in the hot, hot sun.

It was so hot that my mouth dripped all over her.  Luckily, Mom brings water for me.  She gave me a drink from the bowl she carries in my bag.  I thanked her by giving her a BIG Boxer kiss.

When we got home, Mom gave me some Frosty Paws to help me cool my insides. It was really good!

It tasted like peanut budder. I ate it all up by myself.  Mom didn’t have any. She said Frosty Paws was a special treat just for good dogs like me.  After all, I am a working dog! I am Good Boy Nueve!

Cute Floral Friendship Card

What better way to celebrate National Best Friends Day than with a floral friendship card? It’s time to play at Festive Friday – Home of the Inspo List!

Floral friendship card

For this week’s challenge, we are inspired by National Best Friends 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 feminine, pink, friendship sentiment, patterned paper, ribbon and dry embossing to create my card. I can’t wait to see what YOU create!

The Stampin’ Schach Design Tips

The Tea Boutique designer series paper collection isn’t just about tea cups and tea pots! It has some delightful floral and print patterns, too.  These adorable little blossoms, paired with Petal Pink gingham print, is sweetly feminine, and just perfect for this floral friendship card.  The Swirly die cut, from the Painted Labels die set, creates a wonderful backdrop for the scalloped sentiment circle.  I find myself using this circle die cut often.  It is from the All That die collection.  Blossoms, which were fussy cut from the same pattern as the banner, were used to accent the sentiment.  With a few iridescent pearls and a snippet of Parakeet Party ribbon, it makes a cute embellishment.

With You I’m Never Lost

With you I’m never lost!  What a wonderfully romantic sentiment!  It’s Sunday, and time to play with The Paper Players!

With You I'm Never Lost

For this week’s challenge, the sweet and talented LeAnne has a sketch for us. The three elements on the left can be any shape. In my case, I selected a Volkswagen van, a large circle, and a tree.   I can’t wait to see what YOU create!

With You I'm Never Lost

The Stampin’ Schach Design Tips

Today’s card was a fun one to create, simply because it features so many awesome die cuts from the He’s the Man designer series paper collection.  And there is absolutely no stamping!  In order to have the “With You I’m Never Lost” circle stand out against the delightful camping pattern, I added a Cajun Craze Deckled Rectangle, and then adhered the circle to it.  I LOVE these new dies!  The tree die cut was placed next, followed by the van, which was popped up on dimensionals.   I like the card better without the “You’re The Best” die cut, but I wanted to stay true to LeAnne’s sketch by including the sentiment.

Notes from Nueve

It’s me, Nueve!  I got more news to tell you! I got to go to another dog show!  I am so excited. I did really good, except for the Gigantic Man Judge.  He really scared me.  Mom said he was over 6 feet tall!  My dad said he was about 6 feet 5 inches tall.  But I don’t think either of them was right.  He was about a million of my feet tall, not just six of them.

I LOVE my new friend, Michelle.  She protected me from the Gigantic Man Judge!  She’s a lot of fun.  She tells me secrets.

With You I'm Never Lost

She tells me jokes.  Sometimes I don’t get them, but she laughs, so I do, too.

With You I'm Never Lost

She also points out interesting things.  Did you know there are dogs that don’t have any fur? And there are dogs that have spots all over their bodies? There are! There really are.  Michelle pointed them out to me!

With You I'm Never Lost

But most of all, I love Michelle because Michelle LOVES me!

With You I'm Never Lost

I got lots of pretty ribbons at the show!  And people clapped for me! I like working at being handsome and making people smile. After all, I am a working dog! I am Good Boy Nueve!
