Is it Spring Yet?

After spending some time driving in the snow and shoveling yesterday (yuk!), I thought sharing this card would be refreshing! It's so bright and pretty it reminds me that spring is coming soon... or at least I hope it is! I used the Stamp set Aviary to stamp the cute little owl and cage, and punched it out with the Giant circle punch! Then Added some more color pops with paper! I love how the crumb cake cardstock lets the bright colors pop out!

ink: Crumb Cake, early espresso, Melon Mambo

paper:  Melon Mambo, whisper white, So Saffron, Designer polka dot paper

Peace on Earth Birdcage

I really love this bird cage set, Aviary, but haven't used it much so I wanted to try to make a couple holiday cards with it. I posted one a couple of days ago here, and this is the second one I made. This card uses the bird and cage from the Aviary set along with the holly from the Happy Hour Set.  Then I added on some ribbon (this is retired, I think its from Sale-a-Bration last year). The shape is cut out using the Framelits die (window frames). I also used the early espresso Core'dinations cardstock and the woodgrain embossing folder to create the cool wood texture. This cardstock is cool because the core of it is a lighter color so when you emboss or sand it, you can see the color through it!  The paper is a piece of retired holiday paper from my stash! 

stamps: Happy Hour, Aviary, Greetings of the Season

ink: Real Red, Early Espresso, Old Olive

paper:  Real Red, Early Espresso Core'dinations cardstock, Whisper white, Retired Designer paper

Big Shot: Framelits Dies - Window Frames, Woodgrain embossing folder

other: Ribbon (retired)

Wisteria Bird!

Here is a a cute birdie card using the new InColor - Wisteria Wonder. I used the music notes wheel with black ink to make the background of music. Then I stamped the cage and bird from the Aviary stamp set. I punched some holes and tied bakers twine at the top to make a bow. I layered this image with black and wisteria cardstock and stamped the sentiment "thanks so much" from the Tiny Tags set. I paper pierced holes along the bottom to add some detail.

Here is a close-up:


stamps: Aviary, tiny tags, music notes wheel
