The last card on my blog was the cat version of this and of course I needed to make a doggy version. I’ve wanted to use this image again for a while and this was the perfect layout for it.
As my mojo is currently hiding maybe I should just make another few.
Ingredients

Card:aqua by recollections from Michael’s

Stencil: gina marie paw print dog version
I am not sure what made me make this card but now I’m looking at it months later I want to make more like this.
It’s such an effective design and would work with almost any small/medium image. In fact I might have made another one almost the same lol.

I am not sure if I mentioned that I have recently returned from my first Florida trip in two years, of course I bought a few things and this set was one of them.
I met some friends and we travelled to Gainesville to visit another friend who moved there during the first part of the pandemic, when we returned they dropped me at my car and out of the corner of my eye I spotted a “Joann Fabric” which to those of you in the know is a big box craft store. I asked them if they wanted to join me and they all said no, now last time that happened was in hobby lobby in 2020 and all the dies were 75-90 % off. Of course when I spotted the hero arts sets were buy 2 get one free I sent them a picture and I also found some Christmas sets in the clearance section so they were all kicking themselves again lol.
I went with an aperture style card and it’s something I rarely do as I hardly ever buy the matching dies but it did make me want to do it again and again lol.
The last version, well so far anyway is in the same colours as the one that inspired me, I have also used all the bees. I don't know why but as I look at the card I can hear a big chonky bumble bee buzzing around my head lol.

Sentiment: as above
Dies: rectangle stax from MFT to cut the stencil
Inks: Squeezed lemonade distress oxide
The second colour version of this set and still not my favourite but I really wanted to use pinks for this particular person, of course my RV11 and 13 ran out of ink right after I finished one of the flowers so I had to change to the R85, 83, 81 combo. I wonder how many of you would be able to spot which flower is the odd one out....I made the card and I struggled lol

When this set was the my monthly hero art kit I wanted it so badly but it sold out too quickly so imagine my surprise when I found it on ebay, of course I had to get it and I couldn't bee-lieve that anyone wanted to part with it but I am so glad they did.
I have made a few different versions of this card and each time I like it so much I want to make more and more.

I cannot tell you how many times I have nearly bought this die, or how many trips to the Crafters Companion store I have made to see it in person. Eventually of course I bought it online and let me tell you it doesn’t disappoint in person.
So far I’ve only made these two cards but I have ideas for many more and that makes me happy
These "IT Girls" digital stamps are fabulous for the ladies in your life. This time i have enlarged the image so i could colour her hair lol. I might have bought a few and I will hopefully be showing those soon.

This card was made with the other stamp from the prima planner set, I hadn’t used this one before but she is as wonderful as the other one to paper piece. Writing this post is making me want to make more and I suppose that’s the reason for showing my cards on here.

This really harkens back to one of my older cards, even the papers and dies are the same and that is because my mojo was missing so I decided to look through some of my stamps for inspiration and I came across this set. I made the card on a call with crafty friends and this stamp made them dig out their own prima dolls and make some cards too.
I felt like I was enabling even though they were only shopping their stash lol.
