March CDS Sneak Peeks - Day 3

The set Jesus Paid It All is a perfect reminder of the reason Christ came from Heaven to earth. He died for our sins - but then rose again! For the first card I embossed the cross image with clear embossing powder and then used another treasure - my pastels - to give the look of a sunset. Here's the entire card...

My second card is just a quick thank you note made with the flower and a sentiment in the set. I cut the flower so that it wasn't centered in the die on purpose, to balance the design a little more. My stash treasure on this card is a piece of old SU dp. It worked perfectly!

The next card is one of my favorites! It's from a set called Snail Mail...

Isn't he adorable?? I paper pieced his little mail bag and his shell and colored the rest of him with Copics. See my little micro brads? Clear Dollar sells them for $1.00 a bag and they are *so cool*!! I'm saving my pennies to buy more!!!!

And now we have Shoe Fly. LOL! Don't you just love his name? He looks like he's going on a hike! See more micro brads?? Stash treasure... some K&Co dp that I couldn't figure out a project for. TaDa!

AND... last set for today... the Pippin Mouse Family by Wendy Hall. I paper pieced the little cupcake wrapper and then colored the mouse and cupcake with copics. After I had my mouse all cut out, I used a hobby blade and cut - very carefully - around his hand, so he could hold the cupcake. The sentiment is from an older CDS set called Woodland Critters . I love that font and use that sentiment on a lot of my birthday cards!

The next card uses the Pippin Mouse set again, but this time I've paired it with a new release single sentiment stamp... "Swinging by..."

There you have it! I have one more day to share sneak peeks and then you can start shopping! Yay!!
