Hardwood - Walk in the Wild - Stampin' Up!

When the new Hardwood background stamp came out in the new Celebrate the everyday (available January 3 - June 1, 2014) catalogue I knew I would get it right away.  I think it pairs well with the Walk in the Wild stamp set.  We live in northwestern Ontario and moose are a common sight.  Any outdoorsy image would be perfect…such as the Horse Frontier horse image!  But I don't have that one, so a moose it is!

Credits:  This card is a CASE of one by Glenda Calkins.  She used the Lovely as a Tree stamp set on an A2 card.  So LOVELY!  

Masculine cards are not the easiest to design which is why I jumped on Glenda's idea for today's card.  Seems I can't resist the temptation to feminize it with the little bow I made with one of the strands of the burlap ribbon.

The moose was heat embossed with Early Espresso embossing powder.

and Hardwood (Background stamp)

Hope your New Year is starting off on a creative note!  Happy Stamping!

Petite Petals - Monkey Punch Art - Stampin' Up!

Happy 5th Birthday Andie!

Punch art is just FUN and I think this little monkey is adorable!  Just like my sweet granddaughter who turned 5 today!

The cute colourful flowers were made with the new Petite Petals stamp set which also has a co-ordinating punch.    I took the colours from the paper pack Fresh Prints.  The colours are bright and cheery!

I also used the new Fringe Scissors to make my accent piece.  A few quick snips and it's done… all neat and evenly spaced.

My card was made using the www.mojomonday.blogspot.com sketch #324.  It came together quite quickly once I decided on the sketch.

Credits:  Punch art by Jackie Topa

I saw the idea for the little tuft of hair and flower in the hair on a card by Chera Wiest.

Color Me Christmas - Stampin' Up!

Color Me Christmas was one of the stamp sets used in an on-line class that I participated in.  It was fun trying out some beginner watercoloring and then trying it out on my club members!  I changed out the image for the tree, also in the Color Me Christmas set.  Season of Style Designer Series Paper Stack allows you to make multiples using the same design of paper.  It's a great value for your dollar.

The sentiment is from Christmas Messages.

There are five fun images in Color Me Christmas Item #131745. $19.95 (clear) or Item #131742 $25.95 (wood)

The sentiment is from Christmas Messages Item #131793 $25.95 (clear) or Item #131790 $35.95 (wood)

Both Sets are from the Holiday Happiness 2013 catalogue available until Jan. 2, 2014.

Joyful Tidings!

Festive Flurry Ornament Kit - Stampin' Up!

I needed a couple of quick ways to show the use of the Festive Flurry Ornament Kit.  I only had one white gift bag so I made a quick little panel and called it done!  Now, this would have looked much better with a larger bottle to showcase the ornament, but alas ….  a small bottle of Bailey's was all I had!  I think I got that sweet idea from Pinterest!  Sure dresses up a bottle nicely.  Great to bring as a hostess gift at a Christmas dinner.

Christmas Blessings!

Festive Flurry - Love & Joy - Winter Frost - Stampin' Up!

Festive Flurry and Love & Joy were used on this easy peasy card.  My background paper is from the Winter Frost Paper Pack.  Love & Joy was embossed in silver embossing powder.

I participated in an on-line class but did not have the stamp set they used so I substituted with Love & Joy.  I tried it out in Island Indigo Ink but I think my stamp pad was a little too juicy because some of the ink bled into the white paper.  That's how I decided to try the silver embossing powder and I think it  turned out great!

Thanks for stopping by!
