I have two cards to share today using stamps from The Craft's Meow and my set of Perfect Layers rulers.

This is the first card featuring Fall Fibi & Lilly.  I thought this was such a sweet image from the set and so perfect for Thanksgiving that is just around the corner.  I know I am getting all ready for Thanksgiving and prepping to cook lots of food.  I used the 1/16th inch ruler for these layers.  I know I seem to favor that thin layer a lot.  The sentiment is included in the set.  The paper and pearls are from Doodlebug, the swirls from MFT and the corners from La-La Land Crafts.

Here is a close up of Fibi & Lilly.  They are colored with Copics.

My second card features this cute little turtle from Turtle Love.  She is such a sweet looking turtle!  I used my 1/16th inch ruler again for the layer here.  I turned this into an interactive card.  It's not a spinner card because I didn't use a heavy penny for it to spin on its own.  I used some button dies and a little bit of twine and you can move the heart around the turtle.

Here's another photo with the heart in a different position.

A close up photo of the turtle.  Her pink hearts have some glossy accents on them.

This is the inside of the card and the sentiment is what inspired me to turn this into an interactive card and have the heart move around the turtle.  The thin border is 1/16th inch and the sentiment is matted with the 1/8th inch ruler.

Next on the hop is Lin.

Thanks so much for stopping by and enjoy the hop!

TGF's Tutorial Thursday -- Interactive Card!

Hello!  I am so sorry for being such a lazy commenter these past few days/weeks.  I will try to get to commenting again.  I've been feeling lazy after doing the chores and errands.  I guess the busy time of the year is slowly creeping up again.  And to make my life more complicated, I had to get into a car accident a couple days ago.  We're okay but my car is a little dented so I need to get that taken care of.  I was a little ticked off that someone had hit my car (after I washed it and all!) but I couldn't stay upset with the driver.  He was so apologetic.  He apologized to me and my boys.  And I've been there in his shoes feeling the worse amount of guilt after I rear ended this elderly lady a few years ago.  But she was the nicest lady who wasn't even upset that I hit her.  So how could I stay mad at the driver who hit our car?  Hopefully, he isn't feeling too stressed or guilty about it.

Well, onto my card.  I made an interactive card using TGF's Hallo Witch.  You can find the tutorial on TGF's blog HERE.  I also used my Perfect Layers rulers to mat some of the papers.

I used the sketch above from Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge #170 and rotated it a bit.

Okay, that's it.  Thanks for reading!

Sister Stamps Release #25 -- Ling Ling

Hello!  It's been a while.  I've been neglecting my blog and I can't even say I've been crafting and just not blogging.  I haven't been crafting much, just haven't been in the mood lately.  But I did get out my crafty stuff to make a couple of cards for Sister Stamps Release #25.  I stamped and colored a few of these cute little pandas to make future projects too.

Here is Ling Ling!  Such a happy little panda.  I had to make an interactive card with her because she looks so roly poly.  I had the perfect sentiment from Lawn Fawn too.

Here is Ling Ling rolling along.  I embossed the background with my bamboo embossing folder and rubbed some gold, yellow and trace amounts of blue gelatos onto kraft colored card stock.  I wanted it to look more green but I don't have green gelatos so I thought I could mix blue and yellow onto the cardstock.  I should've actually mixed them together first and then rubbed that on.  Anyway, I think it's simpler if you just have green gelatos!  I'll have to add that onto my wish list.

Here's a close up of Ling Ling.  Yeah, she's got rosy cheeks.

Please go check out the rest of the gang.
