Zoo Babies

I attended the baby shower for Anthony and Shakarri Hamilton of Dublin, Ohio on Saturday.  I am so proud of this devoted couple so my card to them had to have multiple WOW factors.    The Zoo Babies stamp set makes a perfect baby shower card.  The pristine cuts from the Dies by Dave framelits, popped the adorable giraffe and rhinoceros (for some reason I keep calling him a hippo) for first WOW.  The second WOW is inside the card with a coordinating die cut gift card holder announced by that cutie potooty toucan. 

A handmade card lets the recipient know how much you care.  What was tucked inside the gift card holder may fade from their minds over time, but the card will stay in their hearts forever.

Thoughts of Spring

I am so ready for spring.  This has been a long, cold winter and I am ready to shed the coats & turn off the heat.  This card is a perfect way to celebrate spring.  The Chevron Punch makes it a breeze to make a lattice border to hold the delicate petite petals.

Retro Valentine

I am considering this card to be the perfect Valentine.  OK so it’s not the typical red & white with hearts all over.  It’s however extremely bright and cheerful with a sentiment that allows one to pause for a moment to reflect on the meaningful foundation of a relationship.  What better way to recognize someone special in your life with a fantastic card.  So….give the Retro Valentine and hope for chocolate in return.
