Christmas Cardinal

Happy Labor to you all!

Now on to Christmas cards!

Yes, I am designing Christmas cards for my class next week.  We do three months of cards and in December, we rock some gift tags! 

I could not decide if wanted to watercolor or blend my feathered friend but ended up using the Blendabilities markers to color on vanilla card stock. 

I hope you enjoy your holiday and thanks for stopping by!

On this past Monday night at club, we played around with the new Color Me Autumn Designer Series Paper

and some new stamp sets like Fall Fest and For All Things that just came out in the new 2014 Holiday catalog. I love the Blackberry Bliss so I knew I NEEDED the new DSP featuring this color!  The leaves above are stamped but then easily hand snipped. 

I hope you enjoy your Sunday and thanks for stopping by!

Happy Owling Birthday Jen!

OOOOOOOOhhhhhh...is'nt he the cutest!!! 

 I want to wish my friend Jen a happy happy happy birthday today!  She loves owls and when I saw this guy online I had to make him!  It was fun going through the way too much retired ribbon I have and cutting pieces to make his belly! Since she loves gray, I had to make him a gray owl!

Thanks to Kirstin Davies, a fellow SU! demo, for the inspiration!

I used a Top Note die for the head, a Large Label framelits die for the body, the curly label punch for the feet, a leave die from the Flower Fair framelits dies for his nose, and lots of circle punches for the eyes!  I decided last minute he had to have some wiggly eyes for fun!

Enjoy your Friday and thanks for stopping by!

PPA217 Hello Fall

Great Day----the 2014 Holiday Catalog starts today!

A sweet 4 x 4 card for Fall with some new Holiday catalog products---how fun!  I had to have the new Color Me Autumn DSP when I saw it had Blackberry Bliss in it!  I knew I wanted to use this pattern with the Bliss as a focal point on the card and then the other elements came together. The new For All Things stamp set is really great!  I especially like the sentiments in the set.
Join us in the sketch challenge on Pals Paper Arts!
I hope you have a wonderful Thursday and thanks for stopping by!

Screen Card From Club

We made Screen Cards at club last night.  I made two of them to show and I will post the other tomorrow.  I did heat emboss in black and liked the pop of soft colors with the black.

You can put more words on either leaving a space on the screen to stamp or popping up a sentiment like I did on the front..see above.

I hope you have a wonderful Tuesday and thanks for stopping by!
