Card for Jamie

I have made this card to send to a very special little girl. In early October 4 teenagers broke into her house with knives where she and her mother were sleeping. They killed her mother and left her for dead in the driveway.

I wanted to be part of the Blog Hop that is going on, but due to a personal injury, missed the deadline but I am still going to send this card off to Jamie to let her know that there are people "out there" who are thinking of her and who care about what happens to her. If you, like me, would like to send Jamie a card or would like to see other card in the Blog Hop, the check out this Blog

This card is made using a sheet that I designed called Cute Frog Get Well Card Front & 3-D Topper - Pink The card is layered on Black and Hot Pink Holographic Mirri Board with a piece of Pink Iridescent Ribbon down the side for an accent.

I can't get enough of this set! ;-)

Here is another of Tracey's (Fred, She Said) wonderful Lovely Blossom & Butterfly Coloured Decoupage Kit. This time I did the Blue one. Again, the Topper is NOT made up into a card. I am sending it with the card to a friend to thank her for a recent gift. The black paper on both the card and topper is again Core'dinations new Black Magic Color Core cardstock embossed with the CB and sanded to bring out the inside color of the cardstock. The butterflies have been glittered with Glamour Dust and Aleene's Tack-It Over & Over.

Another Card & Topper Set from 1 Sheet

Here are another Card and Card Topper (not a finished card) that I have made using 1 sheet from Tracey's (Fred, She Said)

Lovely Blossom & Butterfly Coloured Decoupage Kit This time, using the Purple sheet. I loved the layout and papers I used on the last set, so copied it with this set, using purple papers.

In Honor of World Card Making Day!

In Honor of World Card Making Day, I have used this Brand New Image of Tracey's (Fred, She Said) called Rosey. Isn't she just the most adorable little puppy? Also used on the card is one of Tracey's Pink Dahlias with some leaves cut with a Sizzex Die. Rosey was cut out with a Nestabilities Die as were the shapes she is matted on. The green shape is double cut with the same die. The largest shape has been embossed with a CB folder, then the embossing has been sanded with an emery board to bring out the embossing just a bit.

1 card, 1 topper, 1 sheet!

Here are a card and card topper that I have made using just ONE of Tracey's (Fred, She Said) sheets! I used the Yellow version of the Lovely Blossom & Butterfly Coloured Decoupage Kit. I made the card first, then using the leftovers, made the card topper. The black paper on both card and topper is Core'dinations new Black Magic Color Core cardstock. I glittered the Butterfly using Aleene's Tack-it Over and Over and Glamour Dust. The Scroll was cut out with a Sizzix die and the other shapes were all cut out with Spellbinders Nestabilities Dies and a Deckle Blade in a Fiskar's Rotary Paper Trimmer.

Flowers Sent With Love

Here is the card I sent to to a dear lady on Circle of Crafters who's husband has terminal cancer. It is another one of Tracey's (Fred, She Said) new designs. So far, it is only available in this Blue, but if people let her know they like this set, she will be making it in more colors! The Blue backing paper is part of the set. The Yellow paper is some Pearl Yellow Cardstock that I embossed in the CB, then used my Color Box Queue Amber Satin Stamp Pad to highlight.
