Birdie Card

Happy Friday to you.  I am sharing a birdie card with you today.  I saw these bird stickers and thought they were pretty cool looking.  They are made of crate paper by Martha Stewart. 

I don't have a punch or die-cut  for a branch but I do have a Sizzix
Tree die-cut so I used the tree trunk as the branch. Using a Martha
 Stewart leaf punch I added brown and green leaves. 


The paper is from CTMH. On the solid blue CS I scored the lines
 and used a sanding block to bring out the white core of the paper.

Inside the card I used CTMH Life is Tweet stamp set. 
Hope you have a Tweet weekend!!

Birthday Cake

Here is another Birthday card for my January Birthdays. I used the Sizzix die cut 
Birthday Cake to make today's card. 
I cut the base of the cake out of two different colors of pink CS and
layered them on top of each other.  The candles are cut from shinny blue
paper and yellow CS for the flames.  I added glitter to the flames. 

I used a swirl embossing folder  for the background of the card. 

After applying  Liquid Applique and glitter  to outline the cake,  I
used the embossing  heat gun to give the white outline a puffy look.

Thank you for stopping by today.  Hope you have a super great day today!

Cozy Cat

Happy snow day to you!!  Yesterday Albuquerque schools and some businesses had a 2 hour delay due to the snow and icy roads.  Those who have moved to Albuquerque from the winter states laugh at us because by noon the snow is all melted and the sun is shinning. LOL  I hope you all had a safe and warm day yesterday.  Today's card is made using the stamp set Cozy Cat from CTMH.  This stamp set will be in the new catalog next month.

The window is from Memory Box and the paper is CTMH.
 I used Prismacolor pencils to color the cat.

I added vellum paper with stamped leaves behind the window.
Using CS and the score pal I added a wood like panel across
the card to give it a look of wall paper inside the house. 

This stamp set comes with three sayings:
You're the cat's meow.
Your're purr-fect.
and the one above. 


Inside of the card.
Hope you have a warm and cozy day.  Stay warm!!

Fuchsia Sprig

Hello everyone.  Hope your having a good day so far. 
 On today's card I used a black CS as the base of the card.  I started out doing an all 
white and black card but decided to give the card some color. 
The white oval is a die cut from Spellbinder- Floral Ovals.
The center flower is from Memory Box, the Fuchsia Sprig.
Behind the red roses I added the Madera Corner and 
some punched stems.   

Inside of the card.  


Close up of the Spring.  I used red and yellow glitter CS for the flower.

The butterfly is punched from blue glitter paper.
Sending you warm wishes for a wonderful day!
