This type of card is called an easel card, well I cheated a little and made it into a smaller version of an easel card.  First I stamped my main center of attention to the right (It’s suppose to be the main ring with several acts going on at the same time). I then created the tent withe the ring master standing on a platform when the easel is up.  What’s nice about this card is that it folds flat for easy mailing. Check it out.

Today I have two dog cards to show you.  The first I call the wiener dog (you know the dachshund dog) it is a get well card I made for my sister since she has this type of dog.

I free-handed the dog shape and then used two circle punches to make the cone on the dog.  I know whoever gets the card will at least laugh at it.

The next dog was made using old parts from another card to create this one.  Nice and simple.  I used kraft cardstock and the what’s new stamp under the dog eating the garbage.  He is kinda having a smorgasbord.  Another card to make you smile.

Ever wonder what you should do with those paint chip samples that you had to make your selection to paint.  Well why not make a card with the leftovers.  Here is what I did with mine.

I used a cloud embossing folder for the background then just cut the kite shapes on a angle and added a white gel pen line down the center.

This next card was made for a new baby in my immediate family.  I love how it turned out and I know the recipient appreciated it too.

It’s a card in a box for baby.  The great thing about these types of cards is they fold flat and fit into the standard A2 envelope.

I used my wonderful copic markers and a few rubber stamps.
