How Now Brown Cow?

I love this stamp set from the Annual Catalog.
It's called Barnyard Babies — so cute.
I received this card in a swap and just had to share it.
How now…?  BROWN COW. 
I LOVE IT!!How Now Brown CowThe designer used so many fun elements on this card.
The Very Vanilla layer is embossed with the Elegant Dots embossing folder.
She used the Mossy Meadow 5/8" Striped Cotton Ribbon.
She attached the ribbon to the top of the card with the hand held stapler.
Those little staples are so cute.
The flower is from the Itty Bitty Accents Punch Pack and
a Candy Dot was added in the center of the flower.
She used the Fringe Scissors for the grass.
And of course a sponge for the sky and Aqua Painter or Blender Pen
to color in the cow.
I think this card is adorable and will probably be ordering the
Barnyard Babies stamp set on my next order.

This was a swap card I received and I think it shows off our Vintage Leaves

Have a Snappy Day!

Yesterday I told you how much fun the You're Sublime stamp set is.
Today's card is using the crab from this stamp set.
He's such a cute guy.
This card is for my son-in-law — thought it would cheer him up.
He had his appendix out yesterday and wasn't in the best of moods last night.
I thought I would say HELLO and try to brighten his spirits.
Snappy DayMy sister, Tina Rappe, did this card last month for class.
I loved the layout so decided to make a couple of small tweaks to
share with you.  The card base the Thick Whisper White cardstock.
I added a strip of Go Wild designer paper on the left.
I used the Triple Banner Punch for the three banners — love that tool.
I stamped the "A Happy Hello" from the Tin of Cards stamp set using Memento ink.
Stamp the crab image from You're Sublime with Stazon ink.
I used an Aqua Painter and Watermelon Wonder ink to color him.
Punch him out with a 2 1/2" Circle Punch.  I used the Circle Collection Framelits
to cut out a Basic Black circle to layer under the crab.
This is a fun card to have on hand to send to cheer anyone up.
