I wanted to share this most wonderful handmade card we received from friend, Troy Louise! She used a very detailed die to create this amazing card using cardstock and foiled paper! Look at the details!
No detail was over-looked. From the velum windows and headlight, steel accents everywhere, and even the dog's features! So fun!!
And just as amazing as the card is this gorgeous felt mitten ornament she made. Her beautiful handwork really shines on this piece! Sequins and beads add to the charm -- I love it so! Thank you, thank you!!

Such a beautiful job on both projects!

What a thrill it is to see my goodies on display on your amazing blog. It was so fun to make knowing it was for you. I don't know if my felt crafting matches you & your Mom's. I loved every one of the darling ornaments you made while spending time with your family in Washington. Happy, happy New Year to you and Alan and your sweet family of critters. Big Hugs!

Very impressive! The archive collections of the recipients of cards made by the crafters in this group should be impressive indeed. The process of bringing this project to completion is lengthy from the stamps to the dye cutters and detail pieces and choice of materials as well. I hope the sender does not remain anonymous. I should hope there is a small stamp on the back of the card showing the world who put it all together? Love, Dad

I made a similar card for my son and DIL. I hand cut the pieces( i don't have a machine) with a pattern from MyScrapChick and put photos of my new grand baby in back seat with mom and son driving. Made a special card for 1st christmas.
I love the dog sitting at the wheel and gives me an idea for a friend.
Thanks for sharing. Got some ideas to use on the car next time. Love your blog with all your cards and stories about your animals. Have a healthy happy New Year.

WOW, O.K. now I think I really need a die cutting system that would help make such fabulous creations. But then I do way more CAS cards. Her workmanship on both projects is fabulous. I do love that mitten. Have a wonderful week, hugs....
