Elf on the Shelf Card

An old favorite revived, "Elf on the Shelf!"

I did not grow up with this Christmas folk tale but some of my friends did. Personally I think the little doll itself is creepy but hey it works for the kids and that's what matters at this time of year. This image is from the new kit released from SVGCuts, Santa's Helpful Elves.

I sponged the edges of the card to give it dimension and I embossed his hat brim with snowflakes and his hair with swiss dots. Pop dotted his nose and hat turnover for a 2-D raised effect. I coming near to the end of my stash of SU Blush Blossom where to this day I still have not found a CS in flesh tone as well as this one was, I wish Stampin! Up would un-retire it.

It's been a long time since I last posted, so I hope you enjoy viewing this card and happy crafting!
Cheers,

Roughrider Birthday

I made this card back in March of 2011 you can view the original post here. But I new I wanted to make another for my Papa Robert who's big 6-0 is coming up here in August. Now this isn't my real Papa (I've been one of those adopted into the family kind of kids) but he does a lot for me and if I ever needed anything Papa would surely help me with it.

I cut the card base out of SU! Chocolate Chip, then put the layered images of the football through the Cuttlebug machine with the tiny bubbles embossing folder to give it the texture of a football. I then colored my little football player and layered him with dimensionals. I then placed the sentiment on like a waving flag.

In the province that I live in Saskatchewan, CFL football is our big sport. So I made this little boy a "RoughRider" and added some of the team logo to the front of his jersey. Don't you agree the referee pooch displaying 'touchdown' is so appropriated!

Thanks for stopping by :)

Baby Safari Card

Oh my so many babies I just can't keep up with all of my friends. But I did have one friend in mind when I made this card. I'm sure she will love it when she receives it :)

I cut the zebra, monkey, and palm tree all from the Create a Critter cartridge. For the palm leaves, I embossed them with the CB Swiss Dots embossing folder to give them some texture and inked the edges so they didn't look so flat on the card.

I popped dotted the zebra because their always needs to be something pop dotted when I make a card. I took my distressing tool and distressed the edges of the background layer and it gave the card a nice edged effect.
