Hello Soft Suede Card

Hi Creative Owls,

Today's card is a simple card I out together using a cut out from another card. I made this card awhile ago:

 

 

I had cut out the middle of the Comfort Café DSP with the Apothecary Accents framelit and had it lying around. So instead of throwing it away I used it on this card:

I cut about 1 1/2" off the bottom of the front and added window sheet so the card would still stand up and attached the very vanilla piece to that. Then wrapped the Cherry Cobbler twine around it for some more dimension.

My Supplies (All Stampin' Up! products):

Cardstock:

• Soft Suede
• Very Vanilla
• Window Sheet
• Comfort Café DSP

Ink:

• Cherry Cobbler
• Soft Suede

Melon Mambo Cupcake Card

Hi Creative Owls,

Today is a cupcake kind of day! It's my birthday...I don't really need an excuse to eat cupcakes but it's a good one don't you think! :)

In light of that I made a pretty Melon Mambo Keep Calm And Eat A Cupcake Card.

I stamped the cover with Stazon black ink on a window sheet and then cut it out by hand. The cupcake is punched out with the Cupcake Builder Punch which coordinates with  Cherry on Top Stamp Set. The vanilla trim flowers were smashed into the Melon Mambo Ink pad to colour the tops of them. I coloured the pearl on the top of the cover with a sharpie marker.

Oh, Hello and Secret Garden

Hi Creative Owls,

Hope you all had a lovely weekend. It's almost half way through the work week! Yey!

Today's card features SU's Secret Garden stamp set and framelits and their Oh, Hello stamp set. These are quickly become some of my favs :)

 



The background is simply one of the stamps in the Oh, Hello set stamped with Versamark over and over until the card was filled. Subtle, but it gives it that extra dimension.

Had to do some layering with the ribbon and key tag punch due to a mistake but hey it turned out alright. :)

The flowers have 3 "layers" to them already which I cut out and popped them out with dimensionals. And then I put some Dazzling Diamonds on the smallest layer. The Whisper White piece of cardstock is embossed with a Polka Dots EF and sponged with Champagne Shimmer Paint with a sponge dauber.

Thanks So Much

Hi Creative Owls,

Today's card was made for a friend who did a HUGE favour for me. Thanks Sarah!

Every time I go to start a card I look at the Core'dinations cardstock and think hmmm can I get away with another card made with that? :) I just love it so much! So of course I used it on this card...guilty.

 

 



I stamped the Thanks So Much onto a window sheet with black Stazon Ink and put that in front of an embossed piece of Whisper White cardstock which I dabbed with the Champagne Shimmer Paint.

The flower is made with a few of the smallest framelit in the Floral Frames Framelits pack and one of the second size up.

Secret Garden Birthday Card

Hello Creative Owls!

I love when a stamp set has either a punch or framelits that coordinate with it because it makes creating a card so much easier and faster! Today's card uses Secret Garden from Stampin' UP! which has a matching set of framlits. Yey!

I love the spring colours, Subtles Collection from Stampin' UP!. I recently got the Pool Party Core'dinations and have been using it on EVERYTHING :) I can't seem to use it without sanding it but hey that's what it's for right? ;)

To create the colour in the flowers I used sponge daubers and heavily sponged the middle and then lightly did circles out toward the edges.. For the leaf I used Wild Wasabi Embossing powder. Very simple but very pretty.

Also, I used the Stamp-a-ma-jig for the Happy Birthday so it was perfectly placed.

My Supply List:

Cardstock
 - Rich Razzleberry
 - Whisper White
 - Pool Party Core'dinations
 - Sycamore Street DSP

Ink:

Spring to Life MDS Hybrid

Hi Creative Owls!

I know it's been a while since I last posted a card. I was away for awhile and didn't have access to my computer.

I made this card a while ago when the Spring to Life kit first became available. It is such a beautiful kit. If you have MDS then this is a must have!

I like to print out the embellishments to use on my card to give it some dimension. So for this card that is what I did. Everything is printed and cut out and of course I added some bling too!

 



 I also used the Vine Street embossing folder on the Whisper White card base and sponged that with Always Artichoke Ink.

I also dressed up the inside as well because I wanted to use the teapot but couldn't fit it on the front. :) I'm so happy I got it on there!

 

 

My supply list:

 

- Spring to Life MDS kit

 

- Always Artichoke Cardstock

 

- Whisper White Cardstock

Dare to Dream

Hi Creative Owls!

Hope everyone is inspired by the beautiful weather to be creative :) I sure am!

I have always been a person who believes in dreaming and dreaming big! So naturally I fell in love with the phrase Dare to Dream in the Loving Thoughts stamp set by Stampin' UP!. I also like the font - so elegant and pretty.

Here is my card made with that set and the dress form. It also features a window sheet so you can see through to the inside where I put the sentiment.

 

Above is the card standing and open and below is the card laying down and shut so you can see the image inside 

 

This card evolved from just the dress form. I had seen cards using just the form but with images on it so I wanted to try it out. But of course as soon as I got started the card kinda just fell into place :)

Cannery Card

Hi Creative Owls
I looove owls and as you can tell by now love being creative as well so I decided to call my followers "Creative Owls". Hope you think this name is as cute as I do!

Today I have a card that can be for any occasion, I put the "Hello" stamp from the Friendship Preserves set from Stampin' UP! but you can put any greeting.

 

 

I think this is soo cute for a Mother's Day card (too bad I already showed MY mother ;)) or birthday it could even work for Valentine's Day.

You may notice that I cut the jar out of a window sheet, but it is hard to see and after I finished the card I realised I should have stamped the sheet with the corresponding image in the Perfectly Preserved stamp set. Oh well, next time! :)
