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.

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.

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

Thanks for stopping by!
