Swing Top Cards

What are Swing Top Cards?  Cards that instead of opening the normal way, the top swivels to reveal the sentiment on the bottom layer.  I guess I could have called them Swivel Top cards...but oh, well.  Swing Top it is.

Meet Calendar Girl.  Isn't she and her kitty sweet?  You can download her below.

I love the sweet kitty with the mouse.  I saw these Little Meow stamps on Fiki's (a.k.a. Bad Kitty) blog and started looking for them.  I found my set on ebay and it had to come from the UK.  There are three different sets of kitties made by DoCrafts.  I think the doily stamp on this one is really pretty.  Well, I can't find this set anywhere now.  Did I get the last one????

Both cards swing open on a brad.

I hole punched the plaid circle and just used a hole in the doily to connect them together with a brad.  Those pretty blue dots are made with Nuvo Crystal Drops.  

Tip:  The rosette is accented with a piece of washi tape.  Fun!

Here's the inside of the Calendar Girl card.  The sentiment is included in the download.

Dropbox seems to work differently for different people.  Either right click and save when image appears or click the download button in the top right corner.  If neither method works, email me and I'll send the files to you.



So glad you stopped by.  Have a  PURR-fectly, lovely day!

Vintage Valentine's Day Treat Boxes

 Hope you had a wonderful Christmas!   I have to say Christmas was pretty wonderful.

The Highs of Christmas:

1.  New Grandbaby

2.  Christmas Goose

 Christmas with Louisa was so awesome, singing Christmas Carols and reading Christmas books.  We cooked our first goose for Christmas dinner.  Well, I should say that Lauren and her daddy cooked Christmas Goose while I played with Louisa.  Worked for me!

Here's what sweet Louisa looked like when she picked us up for our visit.  Her mommy took the picture right before they left the house.  So sweet!

The Lows of After Christmas:

1.  Computer Hard Drive Crash (still working on getting it all back together!)
2.  Flu
3.  Strep


Seriously, BOTH! 

 Dennis came down with flu while we were there.  So far we can say Louisa doesn't have it, thank goodness!  But I was diagnosed yesterday with flu and strep! Yuck!  Needless to say, we didn't go out for New Year's Eve...

But, I am smiling over these cute valentine treat boxes!  They are both ready to print and create.  You can choose (or why don't you just make both) a kitten or a puppy, pink or teal.  Each one comes with a sentiment wrap.

The  boxes are super easy to put together and the kitten and puppy will make you smile, too!

Just a couple of tips to make it even easier.

Okay, I'm back to coughing and sleeping if I can.  Happy New Year's!
