Breast cancer support card

 Made this for someone who was going through treatment for breast cancer. I used a metallic blue paper and the butterflies' wings pop up.

 A couple of cards I had made with Santoro Gorjuss stamps. (sentiment from Stampendous)

 

Mother's Day pop-up card

 Here's another card I made some time ago but didn't get around to uploading. I got the tutorial on how to make the pop up flowers on Pinterest.

 

Just keep swimming...

I saw this porthole idea (probably on pinterest). I used a couple of circle dies to make them.

 

 

Soaking up the fun

Here's one I made awhile ago. A simple, fun pool page. I chose the blue patterned to paper because it reminded me of pool liners that sometimes have a pattern.

 

4th of July cards

 Just getting around to uploading these cards I made some time ago. The third one was actually done for a 4th of July birthday!

 

Cute Easter cards and mushrooms

Lawn Fawn stamps. I color with pencils and then blend with an alcohol marker in a matching color or lighter or just blender.

 

This card was made with embossing folders.

 

This cute card was also made with embossing folders (mushroom house seen and background grass/flowers). I stamped the bee, snail, and gnome and fussy-cut then mounted on pop dots.
