Lili of the Valley Under The Weather Owl

Good Sunday to All.  Today is a short post featuring a swap card I created using Lili of the Valley Under The Weather Owl.  I chose not to make it a Get Well cad but rather a general, everyday card for my swap buddy.  The image is sweet enough to be created into any type of card or project you like.

This card measures the standard A2, designer papers are from the American Crafts Everyday 6x6 paper pad, I colored the images with my Spectrum Noir Alcohol Markers and used Glossy Accents on the raindrops for a bit of texture and dimension.  Sweet little card with some darling images (that ladybug is too cute!).

Have a great day everyone and please stop by The Paper Funday Challenges to enter the May Challenge, which will end on 31 May.  The sponsor this month is All Dressed Up Stamps.

Until Next time, Happy Crafting!

Cardz 4 Galz Challenge - Fancy Folds

It's time for another challenge at Cardz 4 Galz and the theme this round is Fancy Folds.   I tried my hand at something totally out of my comfort zone and to be perfectly honest - the inside gave me a little trouble.

I'm not certain what this type of fold is named.  I wanted to be completely different with my Design Team project as well as being as simple as I could be with the front as the inside caused some bulk.

I used only 1 patterned paper, the owl was a print and cut file from the Cricut Design Space and the sentiment inside is cut vinyl.

I added a blank piece of card to the back, for a space to write a personal message.  The finished card measures 6" x 6".  The inside folds do not lay as I would like but all in all, it turned out ok for winging it!

We hope you will join us for the Cardz 4 Galz Challenge and try a Fancy Fold.  Until Next time, Happy Crafting!

You're a Scream

Hello Everyone and thanks for visiting today!  It's getting closer to All Hallows Eve and I've been busy creating some spooky cards for the occasion.  It's been a while since I've used my Cricut for cutting files and paper piecing so for this card, I used the Potions and Spells Cricut Cartridge.

Two spooky Owls perched in an old tree, set against an glowing moon!  I do love paper piecing and forgot how much I missed it so stayed tuned for more paper pieced cards coming soon!

Until Next time, Happy Crafting!

Creative Knockouts Design Team Project - Challenge #260

Today I'm sharing my design team project for the Creative Knockouts Challenge #260.  The image I've used today is the Autumn Owl from Bugaboo Stamps.  I love coloring Bugaboo images because they have bold lines making them easy to color using your favorite method.

As part of the challenge, we are to use twine in our design so I made two bows out of double strands of brown baker's twine.  The sentiment "thankful" was stamped with Ranger Archival Ink in the color Potting Soil and I went over the letters with a Gel Glitter pen.

I hope you have been inspired to join in the fun over at Creative Knockouts for challenge #260.  Until next time, Happy Crafting!
