My 2nd beautiful granddaughter will turn 1 year old soon. My how
the time flies by. I made her card using a digital image I have had
since 2009 when it was offered as a freebie. The digital
image I used is by an awesome designer Kim B Designs .
She is such a sweetheart. When I asked Kim if I could
use her designs to make clusters or QP's for my blogs
Taggerpaws and Sugarpawscraps she said yes with
pleasure. Check out her blog if you love digital design !
I used Kim's Happy Cow kit for the birthday cow
image and some of the digital papers included in the kit.
The other paper scraps are
by Imaginisce All Kinds of Happy. I used liquid pearls,
glossy accents for shine, lots of glitter , stickles, liquid applique for
the frosting, pretty gem stones and metal flower stickers,
Spellbinder oval die and assorted punches for tag
and hearts .
This card was so much fun to make. Just looking at
Kim's happy cow holding a cupcake put a smile on my face.

A butterfly shaped card

I wanted to try my hand at designing a butterfly card template, so
I opened my Paint Shop Pro software and messed around with vector
shapes. I know digital scrapbooking much better than paper scrapping.
Using heart vectors and eclipse I came up with this template.
I used pearlized card stock , liquid pearls and a massive amount of
pretty glitter. The antenna took me a few tries using black scrappers
floss, glue to shape and stiffen plus black liquid pearl drops.
I used a sweet sentiment from Meljen Designs . I just love her
artwork. I'm looking forward to making another card using her
awesome digistamps.
I'm sending this one to a friend. The inside simple says Thank you .
Thanks for viewing my card. I'm learning quite a lot as time goes by.
I really enjoy making these cards for those I love. I'm going to
work on a few more shaped card templates I can offer as
printable freebies. I have a pet themed one in mind already for Taggerpaws.

If Love... word art freebie !

As I mentioned in a previous post, I embellished the inside of my
yorkie embossed card with a sympathy word art I made in PSP.
I used it in gold to match the card but I also have it in black.
You're free to use it in your crafting projects. PU only.
I reduced it to 3 " for the inside of my card on ivory cardstock
and it printed beautifully.

Lollipop flower basket

Today at thedigichick.com there was a tutorial for a lollipop
basket. Hers is adorable and much more professional looking
than I could ever attempt. I thought I'd try my hand at it anyway.
I did not have the spiral rose
template till the yellow ones. I think those are the best
flowers for this lolly basket . I guess I will get
better at making the rose lolly flowers the more I do them. It's a cute
project to do on a snowy afternoon and the kids will love it !

Embossed edge card

I tried a new technique I learned from Gina K at Stamp TV.
She showed how to emboss around the edge of cardstock
to match the embossing powder you used for your stamp.
It's a wonderful idea and one I'll use more often.
Click on image for more detail.
Papers : Colorbox for the pink striped and DCWV designer pack
Rustic . Spellbinder fancy tag, ribbon and pearls.
I have embellished the inside with a sympathy sentiment.
I will share it as a freebie when I upload it to 4 shared tomorrow.

Freebie Word Art !

Someone asked me where I found the digital word art I used
for my easel valentine card down below. I made it in PSP . I reduced
it just enough to fit the size heart spellbinder nestie I wanted to use .
It's png. You can use any color paper ( but red) to print. It is only
300 by 150 pixels. It is a 1 inch print out for card making.
I colored in the heart using a prisma marker. Please use it if you can.
Credit and a link back to SugarPaw Scraps is very appreciated.

Blizzard and a very simple valentine card

We've been under a blizzard warning since yesterday 7 PM.
So far there has not been a let up in sight. A minute ago
I looked out to see a total white out. Hopefully it's out
of the mitten in a few hours. We'll be digging out all afternoon.
I made a very, very simple valentine card today for hubby.
He is not for all the frou frou. He likes all the cards I make
though but for him I went simple. The speciality paper I used was from
K and Company. Nestie hearts for the pull out tag and a heart sticker
here and there. That's it...easy peasy !
Stay warm. I read the Ground Hog predicts an early spring.
That's a good thought, right ?
