Blue Christmas with Hootie

Hi there!  I've got some Hootie for you today!

I created the background using the Knit Stitch Cover Plate to cut a pretty shimmery blue paper and glued it over a darker blue.  Then I cut out my Hootie in grays and made him a little hat and scarf with the same darker blue as the background.  I cut a branch from woodgrain paper and popped it all up onto the panel and tucked snowflakes underneath.

Finally I heat embossed the sentiment from the Owlidays stamp set onto a strip of that gorgeous blue and popped it up under Hootie.

That's me for today!  Thank you so much for stopping!

Autumn Wishes

Hello!  I'm sliding into autumn themed card mode lately.  I couldn't help but use some more of that paper I sprayed with dye inks to cut leaves from.

I used that fab gray woodgrain from Your Paper Insider for the background and the pumpkin and bird from gel prints.

Finally a tiny sentiment from the Tiny Tags!

Thanks for stopping! Come again soon!

Autumn Leaves with Dye Sprays

I've got an autumn creation for you today!

I had some fun with Chroma Mist and Dye Sprays on thin fibrous paper.

I sprayed the paper with three colors of Chroma Mist Spray and Gold Seth Apter Dye Ink Spray over the top.  I did use a soft cloth to smoosh and dab the three autumn colors to blend them a bit on the paper.  While the paper was still damp I crumpled it up and then flattened it just a bit and dried it with a heat gun.

Finally, when the paper was dry, I cut some leaves from it and then used the same paper for my white background.  I love that this paper has some gold speckles in it.  I added a gold frame.  All of my papers except for the Blessed dark brown background were from the latest Your Paper Insider box.

That's me for today!  Hope you enjoyed it and you'll come back soon!

An Autumn Happy Bird Day!

Just got back from a trip to Buffalo, NY and the Erie County Fair was going on which basically means the end of Summer and time for sweaters and boots!  I'm back in AZ now where it's still like living on the surface of the sun, but I've got that autumn feeling so it's gonna start showing in my projects... like this one!

I cut the bird cage from some pretty metallic paper from my latest Your Paper Insider box.  All of the other die cuts were leftovers from previous projects and it was so fun to dig them out and put them together!  The leaves and bird were cut from gel prints as you know I do.

And I had that pretty paper out from a recent project and the colors were perfect for an autumn theme.

Hope you enjoyed your stop!  Come again soon!

Hopeful Daisies

Hello!  Happy to see you again!

For this one, I used a rainbow watercolor panel I made for another project and didn't use.  I applied some Transfer Gel Duo through the Heirloom Hearts Stencil and let it dry to tacky.

Then I applied some Deco Foil over it using a Stencil Pal and hand pressure.

I cut some Daisies from some shimmery white cardstock and the Hope from a beautiful metallic purple.

That's me for today!  Hope you enjoyed it and come back soon!

Hello Poinsettia

Hello!  Happy Monday?  I've got a pretty floral card for you using the Poinsettia dies!

I decided to use the poinsettia to create a card that wasn't holiday themed and in some non-traditional colors.  I used papers from the newest Your Paper Insider box!  And I cut extra layers to make the flower extra dimensional.

And that large hello is one of my favorites!

That's me for today!  Have a great week and thanks for stopping!
