Sherri Baldy's My Besties Woodland Greeting!

I love making Woodland type cards, because Fairies are one of my youngest daughter's favorite thing.  Her love for fairies began when we lived in Wales, UK for 3 yrs.  Now she has a room with fairies on the wall and part of the decorations..most of the items we purchased when we lived in Wales.

Anyway, one of the challenges i am doing is offering this image at a discounted rate and with the current sale going on at My Besties Etsy you can get this image for $1..not too many digi's out there for such a bargain...oh but wait it's even better if you use this digi on a card for the My Bestie's UK challenge you will also get another free image just for using the discounted image.  Not bad, i'd say..two images for the price of $1.  For your discounted digi click here.

Here is the image that is discounted..and BTW i "erased/masked" the eyes on the mushroom...just like you would when using a rubber stamp, except i did it in a program.
This is a horizontal slider card.  I am on a roll with making these because they make the image just pop (no pun intended) even more.  This is the slider "open".
This is what the card looks like from the front and the slider closed:

Copics used:
skin- YR000, 00, E02
hair- Y13, 15, 19
wings- YG00, 01, watercolor pencil/pink
shirt- R81, 83, 85
grass- YG03
eyes- B04
mushroom top- R35, 37, 39
base- E50, 51, 53

Glitter used:
stickles/diamond (wings)
Extreme glitter paint (on mushroom top)

Embossing folder- Sizzix leaves

Dies used:

heart flourish? (maybe Doo Hickey)
mat behind image?

Happy Birthday to my friend, Sher! Sherri Baldy's My Bestie's featuring Mother's Pearls, Daddy's shoes.

I am a bit late at making this card for my friend Sher.  I just met her this year and found she lives close to me when i am up in Michigan.  She always has the time to listen and encourage me when i am working on the My Bestie teams.  Truly a wonderful new friend. 

I am a day early at completing this card for Sher but a day late at sending it out to her.  Her birthday is tomorrow.. June 21!

For this card i am using a die from Paper Trey..they have a vertical slider die that works perfect for this card design.  The image i am using is called Mother's Pearls, Daddy Shoes and can be found here.  

I decided because i spent most of today working on this for Sher, that i would enter it in a few challenges (here is the card with the slider pulled open):

What i did to achieve this look.. i printed off the butterfly large and then i printed off a bit smaller.  When i did the purple butterfly, i printed it off twice and colored it twice and then layered it with a foam dot.

I used watercolor pencils for these butterflies and Extreme Glitter paint/hologram.

Dies used:

My Besties Get Well Tea Time

We get a lot of respiratory problems through out the year and i had a friend recommend this great tea called "Breathe Easy".  My grandson, who is 7, and has asthma; drank some when he got sick this year and he said it helped.   I also have my husband drink it when he gets a cold and it helps him also.

So when this "Time for Tea" challenge came up at My Besties UK, this is what came to my mind..i wanted to incorporate the tea pouch as a gift for someone.  I did some searching on line and found an excellent, free tea bag pouch template here.  So i cut my box out of Kraft paper and did my own scoring and came out with this great little gift using My Besties image 743 and you can find her here:

I made a tag the same shape as the box and added a doily and ribbon to the top and then punched the half circles at the bottom to "hold" the tea bag packet" in place.  Then to secure it i tied a ribbon around it as well.

What the box looks like w/the tea tag tucked in:

My Besties Shy and her pup...Faux Chalkboard style

Lot of things going on with this card.  My friend was struggling with a double side step card and she sent me the instructions and i gave it try and decided to use the card base for a challenge.  I have also sent her a sample of what i made in the mail.

At first i had made a dark navy card base thinking it was black..you know how that goes..well, in the light of day it was navy and it didn't work for a black and white challenge. :)  So i made another card base and this one IS black. :)

So the fancy fold card, is a double side step and from what i can tell so far, i've seen maybe two places w/instructions and one youtube video.   (Paper tutorial is here) (Youtube video with different dimensions is here)

Here is my card using the Double side step fancy fold instructions and the coolest new Sherri Baldy's digi called Shy and her pup found here:
Sherri Baldy will also be releasing some new dies..the flower in the background is one of the dies.

My Besties, "How Much is that Doggie in the Window" or Just for you!

Couldn't make up my mind which sentiment would be fun..so i left it blank.  However, as you all know by now..i have a lot of cards without sentiments..thinking that it could be added later when used or purchased. 

I post almost all of my cards to my Etsy Shop..the link is listed on the side bar. 

I tend to give most of my dog cards away to my Daughter-in-law every time she visits.  She gives them to her vet or to the doggie daycare workers/owners.

This card, however, i colored with a friend's dog in mind.  Her dogs are so pretty.  Here is my card using a dog from My Besties:
