Bad Hair Day

This is one of my favorites! I bought this new embossing folder for my Cuttlebug and just loved the look to the paper, although it does weaken the paper considerably so I decided to cut the card down and reglued just the front to another piece of cardstock. Loved the ribbon, maybe I'm finally get the hang of bows on cards, lol. I didn't' like how his whiskers looked so I painted a strip of paper with black felt tip pen and cut little slips off and added them, like this look much better. Clip Art is from Art Explosion

Just a Bad Day

Another piece of Clip Art from Art Explosion. The word balloon is a basic shape from PS, I used my Fiskars crimper on the solid background paper. The plaid is from a Me & My Big Ideas paper stack. Brads are from Memory Makers. The photos don't show it well enough but the background paper is yellow (DCWV) and I scalloped just the front bottom of the card so the yellow from the inside shows along the bottom.

Celebrate!

Don't ya just love this guy? I found him in some old clip art CDs I had from Art Explosion. Wow what a wonderful source for cardmaking! I used the polka dot emboss folder with my Cuttlebug for the background paper. I did have to do it twice, since my card was wider than the folder. I didn't line it up quite right or didn't apply enough pressure so I decided to insert the ribbon to cover the lighter dots. Love the look. I purposely left the bottom unembossed so I could add my sentiment, I like how the ribbon turned out only going to this point. All in all I bet this little guy makes someone smile when they get him.
