Fancy Owl

Theres a new CAS Challenge over at SCS...If you have time go check it out! For the challenge I used this owl stamp, it was only a dollar at Joanns by Inkadinkado...I thought it was so pretty! I stamped the Owl on Kraft paper twice and cut out the Owl so I could pop it up for interest...I had some bling that went with the paper I used to make the card (the hot pink was what inspired me). I LOVE the look of kraft and pink together and I thought the black complemented the Owl.
Thanks so much for stopping by!! Have a Wonderful Week! Hugs...

Supplies: Stamp by Inkadinkado, Stazon Ink Black, Pop Dots, Bling, DCWV Papers

Pretty Paper...

Everytime I see Pretty Paper I think of the Roy Orbison song "Pretty Paper" and start humming it...even though its about Christmas...Such a pretty song...This year DCWV has some pretty papers in their Summer Stack, I just LOVED the colors in this particular paper but with it having images and writing on it I didnt have any stamps that did it justice so I just decided it was pretty enough left alone....So I cut out an image from the paper and paired it with a coordinating sheet also in the stack to make a super quick, easy clean and simple card! To give the paper image more substance I cut out a piece of cardstock and taped the image right on top then popped it up......Some bling was added for interest and fun....Thanks for stopping by and Have a Wonderful Weekend!! Hugs....Cookie :D
Supplies: DCWV Summer Stack and Halcraft Papers, Bling and Pop Dots thats it!

Of course I have to post Roy Orbison singing "Pretty Paper" now...

Thank you...

This is one of the sets that I was so blessed to get from my Aunt Lori! Isnt it CUTE!! I just love Hedgehogs...This layout is one of my all time favorites I use it all the time when I am not making Clean and Simple cards...A while back I saw these charms at Joannes and picked a pack up for my daughter who makes bracelets, they say "handmade with love" on them which are perfect for me since thats my blog description...When I showed them to my Aunt at the store they found their way to my house too...She's my FCM (Fairy Craft Mother)...You will need to have a jumper ring on hand to attach to it so it will dangle...The mouse is popped up for dimension as well as the whole matted image...I put together two punched out Giga Scalloped Punches and taped them together as a mat for the image too, its good to make sure you fill up the scallop mat as much as you can to insure you hide where you put the two together as much as possible...Thanks so much for stopping by! Hugs....Cookie

Happy Brrrday!

Heres another clean and simple card for two of the challenges over at SCS! I just LOVE the clean and simple style...It really makes you think about how you can make the image stand out since the focus is all about the image...On this card I cut out the penguin and put him in between two pieces of torn paper (the front paper is popped up for dimension) then I added glitter snow to them for texture and sparkle...some orange bling was added to the cakes candle and a bit of ribbon for interest...Instead of putting the sentiment on the inside of the card I decided to use a toothpick to make a sign to stick in the snow. Thanks for stopping by! Have a wonderful week!

A little bird told me...

This card was made for the CAS22 Challenge over at SCS! My Aunt Lori told me my Aunt Bettys Birthday was on Tuesday so I thought this "A little birdie told me" stamp was the perfect one to use...I added a googlie eye to the bird and used some fun fiber to mimic bird feathers...A shout out to Jens son over at SCS too whose has a Birthday coming up....Happy Birthday!!!

thinking of you...

Heres another card for the CAS21 Challenge over at SCS...On this one instead of adding sparkle with glitter I added it with bling to the center of the flower...I stamped and cut out the three panels for dimension...I thought this stamp by Stampendous was so cute because its simple and pretty at the same time...its makes a nice clean and simple card...and its quick! My favorite kind! Have a Wonderful Weekend!
And a Happy Fourth of July!
