Serving our Country? You are Absolutely Fabulous!

Happy 4th of July tomorrow!  To all of you who serve our United States of America so faithfully, here's a THANK YOU card for you - you ARE absolutely fabulous!

I followed a Mojo Monday sketch for this card and love how it turned out!  The 'stitches' are just paper pierced holes with fine marker lines connecting them.  For the flower, I layered 2 scallop circles and cut between the petals.

All supplies are Stampin' Up! unless otherwise noted

Critter Week: Moose Herd

One more critter for you today - a moose!  I created this card (designed by Josie McGaw) at a DOstamperSTARS demonstrator shoebox swap meeting.  Isn't is amazing what you can do with punches and a little imagination?!  Here's my guy:

His antlers fold down to fit in the envelope! And I added his pupils and nostrils with a black marker.

Here's a photo to show you the punch pieces I used:

I made a whole herd of these ~ special order from a friend at work for her sister who ADORES moose!
