  • Too Cute

    A clean, simple Halloween card w/ cute little Jack-O’Lanterns & a pierced herringbone patterned background. Easy to make w/ the matching dies & easy to customize by changing the colors or background.

    For the Inspiration Challenge (IC928) we are visiting the Botanica Provincetown Pinterest Board where I found THIS cute notepad. I liked the little critters at the bottom w/ the lines above.
    To start, I die cut the large white background w/ a stitched rectangle, then cut it again w/ the cover die that looks like a herringbone pattern. After coloring & die cutting the little pumpkins, I popped up the center 3 group just a bit & attached them all at the bottom. I colored a small background to go around the tag greeting & added the little bat.
    Couldn’t be easier! Here are the Copics I used:

  • Espresso Owl

    An easy, coffee themed card w/ a cute little owl & some pretty coffee paper. Perfect for a coffee loving friend or family member.

    A big congrats to Annette, the newest Featured Stamper (FS865)! She has a sweet gallery & I chose THIS card for my inspiration. I kept most of the layout but flipped it, changed the images, dies & colors.

    My card has a coffee theme & a cute little coffee loving owl. After coloring & die cutting him, I die cut the ivory circle, stamped the greeting on it then die cut a larger circle of designer paper to go behind it. I die cut the lighter paper then lined up where the darker circle would go & used the same die on the left edge of this circle. I trimmed off the edge of the ivory circle to fit. The open leaf greenery was die cut out of a dk metallic bronze and placed around the the edges of the circles.

    The greeting circle & owl were popped up.

    These are the Copics I used (minus the greens):

  • Coffee Owls


    A fun, easy to make coffee themed card w/ adorable little owls & coffee printed paper. Perfect pick-me-up for a friend or relative who loves coffee.

    We are visiting Bloons Pinterest Board for this week’s Inspiration Challenge (IC921) & I found THIS picture. I liked the colors so I used them for the basis of my card.

    The owls were colored & die cut & I thought this cute coffee paper would work well behind them. The above view of the round cups reminded me of the balloons in the picture. I added very narrow dk brown layers behind the two panels in order to show off the detail edges of the dies.

    The owls were popped up slightly & I added some sequins for a little sparkle.

    Here are the Copics I used:
