Valentine Easel Card


Today I tried following a tutorial for an easel card . I'm still
pretty new to making handmade cards using paper instead of digital design,
but even I think this one turned out really cute.
The tutorial I followed step by step was by Mary Lou Schroeder .
It was posted on her blog marylouscorner.blogspot.com.
I've never tried an easel card yet,
so I gave it a whirl . The cute yorkies I used ,with her permission,
are by artist Jane Hoffer. I love her artwork and she knows it :-)
Patterned paper is by K & Company. So until I get my mojo
back for digital design , I'll be making cards to give to my
family and friends.
I've made more cards in the last few months. I may add them here if
anyone is interested. I'd also like to thank those of you that sent
such nice condolences after reading my previous post. I was very touched.
I know we all have lost beautiful furbabies that are every
bit our family as our lovely human children. They are very loved still
even though at Rainbow Bridge.

  2. Judy, this card is really beautiful and funtastic looking. Did you use Spellbinder heart dies & Scalloped circles for the shapes? I love the cuttlebug, it makes me look more like I know what I'm doing :). ha Great card, thanks for the ideas.

  3. Thanks for stopping by Dave. Thank you both for the nice comments. Yes, I used Spellbinder dies. In the months I've been doing this I have used 40 % off coupons from Hobby Lobby to buy every style Spellbinders die I can get my hands on.:-)I even hand a second coupon to hubby and let him buy another one for me. You gotta love supportive spouses !
