You Are Amazing Cat card

 

You really don't need a special occasion to tell someone that they are amazing.  Sometimes, it's best just to surprise them for no reason.  I love cat stamps and Penny Black stamps so I'm always happy when they release a new one.

Celebrating You Bunny card

 

When isn't there a day that you can't celebrate someone?  This sweet bunny will help you do that.  You can use it for a birthday, graduation, new job...the possibilities are endless. I did just a quick watercolor on the background so there was only color behind the image.

Congratulations On Your Adoption card

My of my dearest friends asked for a special card to celebrate a relative adding a sweet little boy into their lives.  She sent me a photo of the boy and I had seen this stamp set but it was out of stock at Simon Says Stamp so I went to the Dreamerland Crafts website and luckily they still had it there (and they shipped it out really fast which was a plus).

Boy Scout card

I was on a self-imposed stamp hiatus until I saw the new stamps from Stamping Bella.  This was the one stamp that I knew I had to have.  A few others might have fallen into my cart.  Oops.  I just love the message that goes with this cute scout.

You Shine Basketball card

Another positive reinforcement sports card for the younger generation to let them know they shine.  It can be used as a birthday card, to let someone know they are doing great or congratulations for making the team.  It was hard to pick any one color so I just went for red, white & blue.

Girl Soccer Player card

I'm always amazed when I visit the Whipper Snapper Designs website to see all the different stamps that they have.  I went looking for a girl basketball stamp and ended up with a variety of sports stamps and this is one of those.  I colored in part of the area next to the girl with a somewhat matching Copic color for the sky so I didn't have to try to fussy cut it out.

Dog Adoption card

I made this card for a coworker that adopted a rescue dog down in Texas.  The wonderful place she gets it from rescues dogs from puppy mills and then spays and works with them so they can be adopted into caring families.  I mixed and matched stamp sets to make one that sort of resembles their sweet adoptee.

Dam Beaver New Job card

I made this card for a co-worker that left after working at the same business many, many years together.  If the background looks familiar, it's because I had everything still out for the soccer card so I made use of the same materials for this card.
