What can I say but...isn't DSP (Designer Series Paper) just FAB? They're such a help with all the different styles, patterns and textures that are available for creating our cards and with it, its the perfect addition to help bring everything together.

Its a little hard to see as I made the dog black as Dixie was a black mutt. I made the nose the "crusty slick" nose that they sometimes have. The eyes are green.

The base of the card is dark brown and has watermark of leaves throughout the front.
I added a watermark of leaves on the base of the card. Added the orange "gems" for the extra touch. And what's Fall without a little mystery? Take a peek under the tabs!

I put leaves on the base as a background of the card for a watermark image. I picked up this Fall color ribbon at the flea market I went to last month, thought it was perfect for Fall cards! I cut the shape with a Nestabilities - Label 4 I believe - then flipped it for the embossed look. It turned out perfect this time!

Nothing special here just lots of different fall colors. If you feel it's something special or have a question, please feel free to leave a comment. Thank you.

This pretty birthday card was done in spring colors - yellow and teal. Once I finished this, I thought: hmmm the bow really made this card what it is.
Funny, after I finished this I also knew who this was going to. The funny thing is, her birthday is in the fall! Well I hope she'll forget about this between now and then! LOL

I had these images for several months and finally sat down and played with them. I just loved how this was coming to life as I was working on it and how it turned out. Thinking back, this is probably the best "fun" card I've done. Hmmm maybe I better start playing some more! :)
I popped the fence and also the monkey on it for a more dimensional look.

I had a little trouble with this one here and there towards the beginning process but before I knew it, it seemed to come together.
I popped the 3 images on the left and the stars in the center. Under the little feet is a sheer pale pink ribbon. I sponged around all the images to make them stand out more.

I was really excited about making this birthday card. I came home earlier that day with the extra large cupcake image and the cupcake border punch.
I added lots of sparkle (Dazzling Diamonds) for the "frosting" and sparkling on the heart "candies".
TFL
I made these "flowers" by criss crossing squares then added button brads in the centers and popping them onto the card. I also added button brads on the top corners. This was also my first card with my sew easy. A new way to add dimension.

I popped the top snowflake border and hung the embossed ornaments from it. I let the ornaments hang loosely for their true effect.

For some reason no ideas were coming or any part of the design. Then all of a sudden it all clicked. I did 2 of this design. One will be for the swap and the other is for my stash of holiday cards.
The card opens from the side. I sponged around the Curly Label with the sentiment and the top half and sides in Old Olive. The sentiment is also popped. The DSP is actually all one one sheet - double sided - love how everything coordinates that way.
Hopefully I can do the other card tonight when all is quiet ... Then onto on another swap. LOL

I added Dazzling Diamonds around the flowers to make them sparkle. I knew she'd like the sparkles too. LOL Inside each flower there's a message: "thank you".
