Bird cage tags

The minute I saw the bird cage die from Poppy Stamps Dies I knew I had to have it.  I wasn't sure what I was going to do when I got it but I just had have it.  So today I was inspired to use the die and make some Christmas tags with it.  So I die cut and inked them with Antique Linen by Ranger and started decorating with the Winter Wonderland paper pad by My Mind's Eye.  I had some left over Poinsettia pieces (Spellbinders) and some snowflakes (Martha Stewart). 

I didn't have a bird die so I had to make one up.  What's your favorite bird die?  I think I may need to get one :)

Let me take care of that....

Gobble til you Wobble

Well it's another new release day for Whimsie Doodles and boy it's a turkey of a release!!  Lot's of Thanksgiving ideas and digi's for a fun time.  My card today is called a "never ending card" because you can flip through it and never get to the end of it.  It was really fun to make and I"m sure it's going to be even better as a "party favor" on the dinning room table for Thanksgiving.

Never Ending Hootenannies :)

Well it's been a while since I posted anything. I can't believe what little time I have to make cards. :(  

Today however I made time to make this card.  It's called a never ending card and it's so fun to make that I made a Thanksgiving and Halloween Version.  The Halloween card features Halloween Hootenannies and Halloween Sentiments 2 digi stamps from Whimsie Doodles.  

* Before printing the Hootenannies I resized them to fit the small 3x3 squares of this card.

Here's a video how to

Best Foot Forward

Hi all!  I have two Halloween cards to share with you using the same digi Lizzie Flying Witch and paper Haunted Hallows by Teresa Collins, the same dies Clouds by Memory Box and Moons from circle punches.

The first card I used a 3" punch with yellow cardstock and punched a half 2" circle out of it to make the moon.  

To give it some dept I tucked a cloud behind the moon and one in front.

 For this card I used smaller circle punches.  I also used Reverse Wonky Dies from Spellbinders for the background.  Then I added a few drops of Copic Grey W5,W3,W1 onto Q-Tips to make a cloudy dark sky.

Outside the Box

Me and my best friend don't always see eye to eye.  Sometimes we are complete opposites :)  That's why this image "outside the box" digi was just perfect for her. Pencils and crayons aren't the same but work perfect together.
