i {heart} u

Mornin' hens!  Here's a fun little card I made for Jaxon's Valentine's gift.  Super easy and funny too!  I cut a piece of Kraft cardstock to 3" x 6" and scored it at 3".  Then using my scalloped square Nestabilities, I ran only the 3 sides through my Big Shot, leaving the top edge hanging off the platform so it would remain uncut. 

 Using a 7/8" hole punch, I punched a hole at the top left corner for the EYE to peer through.  Then I punched a heart and die cut two letter "U's" from some DP.  I drew some doodle lines around the scallops and added a few eyelashes too.  For a little shimmer, I added some Wink of Stella in red along with some Glossy Accents to the heart.  

On the inside, I stamped this ADORABLE little monster and also stamped him onto the same DP as the letter "U".  After fussy cutting him out, I then paper pieced him to the inside of the card.  I added a little shading at his feet and pieced the sentiment together from two different stamp sets.  To finish, I sponged some distress ink around the edges and added my SUPER CUTE EYEBALL!! Hey, this gives a whole new meaning to my Valentine "EYE" candy!  {{snort!}}

Okee dokee, that's it for me today.  I hope you hens have a MONSTER Monday!  {{{hen hugs}}}

Ewe are loved...

Mornin' hens!  Continuing with my Valentine's Day "eye" candy, here's Doug's card.  Have I mentioned lately, Doug is the BESTEST Son in Law EVAH!! I wanted to make him a card that was sweet but not too mushy.  You hens know I struggle with "men" cards but I think this one is "wooly" GREAT!  Baah-ha-ha-ha!

Ah, EWE know EWE wuv me!  {{{snort!}}}
Ok, so I started by applying some embossing paste to the card base using a heart stencil.  I just love using this embossing paste.  It's super easy and gives such awesome texture to the card.  Next, I stamped the sheep image three times and colored them with my Copics.  Then to add some curly swirls to their wool coats, I drew curls with my white gel pen.  I've never seen this done before, but I think this added the perfect touch to their coats.  Ok, so then I stamped the sentiment using two different stamp sets, and adhered it using foam tape in a faux banner shape.  To finish, I adhered some hearts with a little glossy accents on top, and tied on some baker's twine.  Okee dokee, that's it for me today!  I hope you hens have a FABULOUS Friday and I see ya baa-aaa-aaa-ck in the hen house real soon. {{{hen hugs}}}
