  • Love Birds

    A card for that pair of love birds on your list..perfect for wedding, anniversary or engagement. Features some beautiful new die cuts & high contrast color combo. Change up the colors to match those special occasions.

    A big congrats to Andastra, the newest Featured Stamper (FS853)! She has such gorgeous pages & I chose THIS page to case. I love the rectangular photo as the main element so I kept that & the flower embellishments. But I turned it into a card & used different dies & colors. I wanted the horizontal element but couldn’t work it in so I subbed the layered Love greeting.

    My card features all die cut elements. I die cut the lg royal blue panel & smaller white panel w/ the square hole edge die set. I used a bright orange for the bird cage & Love dies. Only the flowers/leaves were used behind the birdcage panel. I love how open they are & let the blue show through.

    The blue birds & cage were popped up just a bit as well as the white panel they’re on & the Love greeting.

    Thanks
    so much for stopping by!

  • Cuckoo Clock

     

    A mini slimline cuckoo clock card w/ a fun greeting for a good friend. The greeting set has a lot of “time” greetings for every occasion.

     

    It’s my turn to host the Inspiration Challenge (IC909) & we’re visiting the National Postal Museum & their Pinterest Board. I was inspired by THIS stamp.

    My mini slimline card started w/ this really cute cuckoo clock add on die for the garden shed. I die cut the body of the clock out of some gray/white streaked paper then embossed it w/ a woodgrain folder. The paper is double sided so I used the flip side for the round clock face, the bird & the open door of the cuckoo part. I used a dk red for all the accent pieces & some grey woodgrain patterned wrapping paper for the layer behind the white front.


    The greeting was stamped below the clock. The clock was popped up just a bit.

    Thank so much for stopping by!

  • Birthday Owls


    A cute mini slimline birthday card featuring some colorful owls. Easy to make using the new images, dies & paper from Rubbernecker.

    For the Splitcoast Inspiration Challenge (IC898), we’re visiting Velvet & Linen and their Pinterest Board where I found THESE lovely glass bottles.


    My colorful little owls were all colored in happy colors & die cut w/ their matching dies, as were the balloons. The banner was fussy cut & popped up just in the middle. The card is a mini slimline & I used a regular slimline die for the purple panel & made it shorter by cutting it mid way then moving up the opposite end of the die & cutting the rest. A mini slimline circle inset was used for the triple windows.

    I used 2 patterns of the new Party Time paper: one w/ colorful dots to go behind the owl windows & a second w/ the birthday words for the background. The little pink owl was also popped up.

    Here are the Copics I used:
