A LITTLE BEHIND

On Monday you met Henry, the cute little Dachshund.  Today you get to meet his cousin, Stretch, who is running a little behind.  

Stretch tends to be a little slow because he is an extra-long Dachshund so it takes him a little longer to get here.  Stretch is also a little shy because he is different from most Dachshund's However, he is a very excited that he got his own card.  It just may take him a little extra time to fully come out to play.

Stretch is getting a little braver and is starting to peak out from around the corner to say hi.  He is a Gray Granite Dachshund who has a colorful Poppy Parade, Pool Party and Lemon Lime Twist Sweater.  

OK, he has thought about it and says he is ready to meet you!

Stretch brought several Brass Butterfly friends with him as he sneaked out of his Woven Textures house.

His message to each of you is that It's a Wonderful Day to CELEBRATE You!

LONG TIME NO SEE

I have some cute, fun cards to share with you this week.  The Long Time No See stamp set will be featured, and the two little characters in this set are adorable.  They make me smile, so I hope these cards will bring a smile to your face also.


Today please meet Henry.  He is a little brown (Crumb Cake) Dachshund.  Henry is a lot like me in that he is usually cold, so today he is all bundled up in his brand new sweater.

Henry really likes his Summer Splash card which was made with Two-Tone cardstock.  He said I should tell you that he didn't come up with the cool design idea, but he learned it from Brandy Cox.

At first Henry wasn't too sure he liked the colors of his new sweater which are Lemon Lime Twist, Fresh Freesia and Pretty Peacock.  But he says they are growing on him, and he does think that they are pretty with his Summer Splash card front.

The inside of the card continues the two-tone triangle layout.


Henry stuck his nose in to complete what he started to tell you on the card front -- Long Time No See!   He hopes you come back soon!

USE THOSE LEFTOVERS - TAKE THREE

The "leftovers" on today's card are the pretty Faded Water Stenciling background and the Glimmer Paper butterfly!

Even though my week of "leftovers" is nearing its end, I still have a huge number of leftovers in my two boxes.  So, I'm going to continue to make an effort to continue to find ways to use these beautiful elements.  They were made with love and should be used to continue to send paper hugs!

I found this Faded Water Stenciling Background in my collection of technique sheets and thought it was pretty with the butterfly die cut from Pastel Ombre Glimmer Paper.  

Here is the video for the Faded Water Stenciling Technique.

I feel like the So Swirly embossing folder design coordinates nicely with butterflies so I used that to provide texture to the card front..

Black Sparkle Gems on the body of the Butterfly add a little additional shimmer and shine.

The challenge with designing around "leftovers" is that there isn't always an extra ready-made element to use on the inside of the card.


To keep it clean and simple, I embossed about one inch along the left side of the Basic White cardstock with the So Swirly embossing folder.  Then I stamped the sentiment from Beautiful Butterflies.

Use this link to download a tutorial for the card.

A list of products used is shown below.  Since Tahitian Tide and Starry Sky are retired substitute any ink colors of your choice.
