Cute lion birthday gatefold

I made this for my niece who is turning 14 this week.  She still likes some cutesy things, so this was OK for her, lol.  The lion is from Life's A Party, the card base is DCWV Animal Crackers, the animal print is a special pack from Recollections, and the inisde stamps are SU!  The outside stamps are from two different Clear Dollar Stamp sets, and the tag is from LAP also, with a couple of SU! buttons to accent it.  I also made the lion a wobbler with my homemade wobble springs, even though you can't tell from the pic.  I think that covers it all, so thanks for visiting!

Christening Wobbler cards

My brother was asked to be a Godfather for two sisters today, and one of them is four, the other is 15 months.  I didn't really have any carts or images appropriate for a baptism or christening, so I figured using cute angels would work.  I can't believe that I typed all of this out at first, only to forget to write that I made them WOBBLER cards!!  WOW....the wobbling action was really cute, since they are angels.  Kitty actually looked like she was flying!  One is from Hello Kitty font, and the other is an SVG Cuts bear from Candy Cherub Bears.  The tags are from Once Upon a Princess, and I used Amy Chomas' gel pen holder and Staples gel pens for the sentiments on the tags, and on the inside of the HK card.  The pen I wanted to use for the other card was really acting up, so I gave up and used an SU! stamp for the inside of the pink one.  I used Divine Swirls for the pink bear, and the patterned papers are just loose sheets from Michaels.  The cross stamp on the inside is also from Michaels dollar bin, which I love, PS.

The font for the inside of the HK card was French Script, and I used MTC to do it all!  Well, I think that covers it all.  I didn't realize until I wrote this post how much I had going on with these cards!  Thanks for visiting today.

Valentine Monkey

This card was inspired by a gift my nephew gave my Mom last year for Valentine's day.  It was a red monkey that, when you press his hand, says, "Me bananas for you."  So I decided to make this for my Mom to give to him this year.  I embossed the body with the Hearts Cuttlebug folder, and the monkey and sentiment are from Sweethearts.  However, you can't see the best part of this card, which is the fact that I made an action wobble for this little guy, so that he swings back and forth.  It's so much fun, and I followed the tutorial here in order to make my own.  Maybe I will try to get a video of this wobbling and see how it turns out for posting.

On the inside, I put a rectangle on the mat in the Gypsy, then threw on a few of the heart XO cuts from Sweethearts.  I decided to take the inner portions of the O and the heart  in order to finish it off properly.  It didn't look right with them empty!  The paper is a loose pattern from Michael's, and the ribbon is also from M's.  I highly recommend checking out this video by the Paper Boutique for the wobbler instructions - I LOVE this.  I got the 26 gauge wire from the bead aisle in Michael's, if anyone is interested in trying it themselves.  Thanks for visiting today!
