Owl Happy Birthday Card

For this card I used scrapes of paper laying on my craft table. I put 2 orange pieces together and where they meet I put a thin strip of leaves pattern paper across to cover the seam. I inked all the edges of the paper with brown ink. The owl is from one of the Disney cartridges. It was cut awhile ago I think Happily Ever After? I think 4 inches. The dark brown part of the owl I went around with a white gel pen. The lighter brown I went around with a brown marker. I put Black Diamond stickles on the inside of the eyes and Cinnamon Stickles on the outer part of the eyes. Yellow stickles for the beak. The Happy Birthday is from a See D's Birthday stamp set. Stamped with orange ink. Enjoy!

Pumpkin Face Card

For this card I used Stretch Your Imagination Cartridge. I cut the pumpkin out at 3 1/2 inches on blackout. I also cut the layers. I drew the face on the pumpkin and I used chalk to make the lines in the pumpkin. I used green stickles for the vine and cinnamon stickles for the stem. The ribbon is just a left over piece on my table. The pumpkin border is a studio G halloween stamp and the saying on the top is from that same set. I embossed the black cardstock with Fiskars texture plate (Dots). Inked the edges with Chalk ink (Green Moss). Enjoy!

Colors of Fall Card

For this card I used Stretch Your Imagination. The leaves were cut at 1 inch and the squirrel was cut at 2 1/2 inches. I cut the whole layer with grey cardstock and the acorn I cut in 2 different browns. I inked everything with brown ink and went around the edge of the squirrel with a fine tip brown marker. I used pop-dots to layer the acorn and the top of the acorn. The leaves were cut with red,yellow, orange and green cardstock. I used a green pattern paper on one side and an orange paper on the other side and cut one edge with the tresding water fiskars punch. I put goggle eyes on the squirrel and red, yellow, orange and green stickles on the leaves. The wording is computer generated using Die Cuts with a View Quote Reference Book 1 with CD. Enjoy!

Bird Thank-You

For this card I used scrapes for the rectangles. The large retangles are 2 inches by 3 inches. The smaller squares are 2 inches by 2 inches. I inked all the edges. The bird is from Storybook Cartridge cut at 2 inches. I put a branch under the bird so it didn't look like it was floating in the air. The branch was cut at 4 inches. I added green stickles to the leaves. I inked the edges of the bird including the wing. The sentiment was stamped using a Studio G stamp. I like these stamps for card. They are the right size. I used a white gel pen at the bottom of the card to give some stitched look. Enjoy!

Another Card for Mothers Day

For this card I used Storybook Cartridge for the lettering. I used Walk in My Garden for the flowers. I used design studio to weld the flowers together to make this frame around the word. All the paper are scraps in my scrap box. I used Cinnamon Stickles for the seeds in the flower centers. Used a brown marker to do faux stitching around the edge. I used Fiskars Treading Water Border punch. Enjoy!

Congrats card

This card was made using scraps on my work table. I used sizzix embossing for the congrats! I used scraps for the layering of the background. I used flowers that I cut from Walk In My Garden cartridge that were for a different project that did not happen. The brads were from a kit I bought last year. I used a white gel pen for the edges and also inked the egdes with dark brown chalk ink. I used stickles on the flower centers and on some of the dots on the paper to give some extra sparkle.

This is the inside of the card. I used The Wild Card Cartridge for the phrase and the cap. The cap is the card shape but I cut it at 2 inches and floded it over and used as an embellishment. I matted the phrase on a scrap piece of paper and inked the edges with dark brown chalk ink. Enjoy!
