Cupcake Card

I needed to may my The Cuttlebug Spot Design Team card for this week and I needed to make my Brother-in-Law a birthday card...so I combined the "challenge" for both... My BIL is not into your typical things so I had no idea how to make it personal....so I went with the cupcake from Home Decor and used my new Celtic Knots Cuttlebug folder...I thought it turned out pretty good until my dear BIL got it and turned it in all directions...look confused... never even knew that I made it...and still doesn't know its a cupcake.... can we say store bought on the 99 cent rack next year!!! Hope you like it some... hugs, Jeannie
CRICUT
Home Decor
Cupcake cut @ 3 inches.
I cut it once in brown on shadow... once in blue on shadow which I then trimmed the icing off of.. On regular cut I cut twice in the striped paper and 3 more times in brown.
CUTTLEBUG
Celtic Knots Embossing Folder
I embossed a brown piece of cardstock and a blue piece of cardstock.. I trimmed 1/2 inch off of each side and the top and the bottom... so that I would have a piece that lined up with the pattern and have a border around it of the next color.
I used a gold pen to draw inside of the lines of the embossed image.
Lots of Brown Ink
Lots of pop-dots!!

Doggie in the Window...Sympathy Card

Designed by Jeannie Phillips Southside, AL
Click on any picture to enlarge.
This card is a labor of love!... Craig a wonderfully sweet young man at work lost his Grandmother this week .... and his parents are so special too you can tell by how he talks about them... I wanted this card to be a special memory of Craig's grandmother... we had talked often during her stay at the hospital about how much she loved her puppy dog... Craig so understands how much I love my dog, Shaggy and had compared it to how much his grandmother loved her sweet puppy... and then when I was leaving work I asked Craig what would remind his dad of his grandmother..he said she loved her yard... her flowers... so this is what I came up with.... I so hope that it touches Craig and his family in a sweet memory way! thank you for looking... Hugs Jeannie
