Flirty Owls

-

 Today was a snow day for me here in Maine. I don't have to work on Fridays, although I usually go in. But not today. We got some beautiful snow last night and I just wanted to look out my studio window and stamp ALL DAY. It's been wonderful. And this card captures the spirit of both the winter season and Valentine's Day season. Shout out to fellow demo Lorri Heiling for the inspiration.


Measurements (full supply list at the bottom of this post)

  • Thick Basic White base (5-1/2" x 8-1/2", scored and folded in half at 4-1//4")
  • Basic White cardstock (4-1/4" x 5-1/2", scraps for owls)
  • Basic Black cardstock (3/4" x 2-3/4")
  • Tahitian Tide Glimmer Paper (4" x 5-1/4")
Directions
  1. Stamp flying owl twice on scrap paper using Memento Tuxedo Black ink pad. Color owls with blends and fussy cut.
  2. Die cut trees from Basic White layer.
  3. Adhere Tahitian Tide Glimmer Paper to card base, then adhere trees layer using dimensionals.
  4. Tuck one owl into the trees in the upper left and adhere using glue.
  5. Emboss sentiment using Versamark Pad on Basic Black strip, add white embossing powder, remove excess and heat emboss. Flag the left end.
  6. Cut the wing of the owl (owl's right wing, left as you're looking at it) so that it will drape over the sentiment strip. Adhere strip and owl to the card front.

It's Always Beach Time!

 It was rainy and cool all day today, but that's not going to dampen my beach vibes! I was inspired by a card done by a German demonstrator named Antje to create this sweet little card featuring the On the Horizon bundle from the Jan-June mini catalog. This bundle will be retiring at the end of June, but since I live in a beach community, I can't see it retiring from my collection any time soon. Measurements (complete supply list at the bottom of this post) Thick Basic White card base (5-1/2" 8-1/2", scored in half at 4-1/") Basic White scrap Old Olive scrap Chipboard or cardstock for template (4-1/2" x 5-1/2") Directions Cut a circle out of the template material where you want the circle to be on your finished project (centered horizontally but more toward the top than bottom). Place the template over the front of the card. Using Crumb Cake ink pad and a blending brush, apply ink to the lower third of the circle window. Using Balmy Blue ink pad and a b...

Who Wants Some Apple Cider?

 It's apple season in Maine. I have to be honest, I don't pick a lot of apples. Or drink a lot of apple cider. But I do love apple cider doughnuts, so that counts, right? Tonight, I featured the More than Autumn bundle, which was also featured in my Sept. 24th Tune in Tuesday class. I love this bundle and think you will also! Measurements Crumb Cake card base (5-1/2" x 8-1/2", scored and folded in half at 4-1/4") Splendid Autumn DSP (medium green background and deep red background, each 3" x 4-1/2", plus a scrap of the deep red background) Basic White cardstock (5/8" x 3", scraps) Directions Adhere green background layer to card base on an angle, then add the red background layer on top, at a different angle.  Die cut circle from Basic White cardstock. Color the cup with Crumb Cake Stampin' Blends. Stamp cup on the circle using Early Espresso ink. Stamp cup again on the scrap of deep red background paper. Fussy cut the cup sleeve. Adhere t...

Changing Leaves...not quite yet!

 It's still summery here in southern Maine, but the nights are getting cooler and it won't be long before the leaves begin changing. Until then, I have a card for you made with the Changing Leaves bundle, an Online Exclusive from Stampin' Up! It's currently on backorder, but should be in the week of September 9th. And in case you missed my Tune in Tuesday class a few days ago, I've linked to it after the link to the replay of my Friday Night Live where I created this card. Measurements Crumb Cake card base (4-1/4" x 11", scored and folded in half at 5-1/2") Basic White cardstock (4" x 5-1/4", various sizes of scraps for leaves and sentiment) Country Woods DSP (2-3/4" x 4") Linen Thread (four 6" lengths) Directions Adhere DSP layer to Basic White layer. Lay the four lengths of Linen Thread next to each other to cover the area where the DSP meets the Basic White in the middle of the card. Adhere on back side with tape or desired...
