UR Cute!

Hello!  I'm having some fun this week making conversation hearts using the Heart dies and Headline alpha sets!

And check out that metallic paper!  I thought it would be fun to use it for this Valentine.

I die cut the hearts, added the phrases with some thin foam tape and popped them onto the card.  Easy peasy!

It's always hard to photo metallics, and this is no different, but check out the movement and color changes!

Thanks for stopping!  Hope you'll come again soon.

Stay Cozy

Welcome back!  Today we're getting cozy with Cool Cat!

I started with a foiled background from Therm O Web and then I used the same rainbow Deco Foil to foil a Toner sheet and die cut my snowflakes and alphas for my sentiment.

I created the frame using one of the Scalloped Circles and a Stitched Circle and popped up the frame and adhered the center directly to the background.

I cut the Cool Cat from white Plush paper and the details from gel prints... those eyes, am I right??

Finally I added a white sentiment strip and popped the sentiment over the top.

I'm playing along over at Double Trouble Challenge Blog!

I definitely used more than 3 colors and added at least two layers and of course the kitty is my cuddly image.  Check it out!

That's me for today!  Thanks for stopping and hope you'll come again soon.

Spill the Tea

Hello!  I've got some tea for you today!  I'm playing along with the January Inspired By Challenge.  Here is my inspiration!

As soon as I saw this cozy inspiration pic I thought of the Afternoon Tea die set.  I love that both the cup and teapot have inserts so you can make shakers or not!

I didn't have mittens to use, but I thought this Knit Stitch background would be perfect.  

Obviously I was also inspired by the blues in the photo.

Thanks so much for stopping.  I hope you'll come again soon and be sure to play along over at Inspired By.

Happy New Year 2025

Happy New Year!... well, almost.  But I've got a fun New Year card for you today.

I made a simple background with some awesome sparkly metallic paper and popped a white glitter snowflake over the top.  Then I cut the 2025 from a shimmery blue and popped it up over the snowflake.

Finally I cut the Happy New Year from the same metallic and glued it to the bottom to look a little bit like embossing.

That's me for today!  Thanks so much for stopping and hope you have a wonderful New Year!

Season's Greetings 2024

I've got a cozy Holiday card for you today!  I started with a fun plaid from my stash.  I cut the sled parts from a birch patterned paper and then green cardstock for the boughs and a shiny red for the bough.

I cut a shiny piece of vellum with one of the Stitched Dot Emerald dies to frame the sled.

And finally the sentiment cut... the shadow with the same green as the boughs and white glitter paper for the sentiment.

That's me for today!  Hope you enjoyed it and wishing you the Happiest of Holidays and see you in the new year!

Let It Snow - Foiled Trees

Is there anything better than white and sparkly gold together?  I started this one with a lightly foiled gel print for the background.

I cut the trees from a gel print foiled with a negative sheet of foil that I had used on a lacy Toner Card Front.

I added some more sparkle using glitter paper for the sentiment, snowflakes and mat.   Of course I cut the mat and then die cut the sentiment and snowflakes from the center before adding it to the card.  A great way to have a glittery border with out wasting a whole 4 1/4 x 5 1/2" piece of glitter paper.

Thanks for stopping!  I hope you enjoyed it and come again soon!
