HAPPY ANNIVERSARY

Another crappy day here today.  Hopefully tomorrow will be sunny.  I was going to head down to my craft room but I am tired so I probably wouldn't be very productive.

I didn't have any anniversary cards on hand so I made a few of these up. They were pretty quick and simple to do.  The owl stamp is from Stampendous called Owl Friends.  I used the Cuttlebug Distressed Stripes folder after I stamped the image on the front. This folder has become one of my favorites and I have been using it quite a bit lately. I used some Tim Holtz distressed ink around the edges of the kraft paper.  The inside verse was computer generated and cut out with my nesties.

Butterflies

It has been so long since I posted anything I see that Blogger has changed the way you upload pics.  It takes forever compared to the old way.

I saw this card on Lucy's Cards website and thought it was so cute I just had to make one.  Only problem was I didn't have the Spellbinders die she used so I decided to see if I could use my Gypsy and a butterfly cut out and achieve the same thing.  It worked.  I'm really starting to love my Gypsy!

I thought it turned out so well I would try and do a baby girl and baby boy card using the same technique and they turned out just as cute.  The cards were cut at 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 and the butterfly was from the Cricut Everday Paper Dolls cut at 2 3/4 and the baby feet were from Cricut New Arrival cut at 2 1/2.  The paper for the baby cards is K&Company Itsy Bitsy Boy & Girl stacks.  I used Tim Holtz Distress Ink for around the edges.  I hated to waste the little baby feet from the card fronts so I used them inside and used my Peachy Keen Everday Faces on them.
