Happy New Home

Good Morning!  

Finally had some time to play in the craft room!

This card will be entered into the following Challenges;

Memory Box, Patterned Paper.

Scrapy Land, Anything Goes!

After over 2 years of discussing and coaxing my Father In Law has finally decided to sell his home and move to an Assisted Living Facility.  It is so beautiful and not far from his house that he will still see all of his friends and neighbors and he will take his car and still be able to get out and about under his own steam.  We, all of the kids, are happy and thrilled to see him find a good match.  

He may just meet his newest bestest friend here!

This card is for him:

I used the Designer Paper pack by PTI, Chocolate Remix.  

I swear my FIL has a shirt that matches this very print.

Memory Box Layered Robin and Woodland Branch dies. 

Paper Smooches Foliage 1 die and Bird House die, which was layered 4 times.  

Tutti Designs Cross Stitched Nesting Rectangles die. 

Adhesive Pearls colored with Copic Markers.

I used the Karen Burniston Twist Panel Pop Up die set.

This die set can turn any style card into one that has a WOW Factor.

Easy to create with them too!

PTI Phrase Play #5 die.

2" Alphabet dies.

MFT Fancy Flourish die.

Gina K Designs, Home Tweet Home stamp set.

This will still fit into a regular A2 size envelope.....luckily it will be hand delivered 

as the postage would be extra extra!

It was FUN to create this Twist Panel Pop Up card!

Thanks for popping by!

Enjoy~~

Bird House

Good Morning!

Just a lot of wind and rain so far.  Hopefully this storm will be a bust!

This project will be entered into the Papertrey Ink Challenge, Create And Decorate A Bird House.

A template is supplied on the PTI Post. 

This was a nice way to spend a winter afternoon.

 

 

I have been obsessed with this Designer Paper from Papertrey Ink, Green Boutique.  It must be because of the 'sea like' colors.  It is beautiful!  I used the stamp and dies sets, also from PTI, Daydreamer and Garden Gate.  Swiss Dots Embossing Folder for texture.

 

 



 

 

I created the roof panel by using 2 Spellbinders die sets; Fanciful Lattice and Long Classic Rectangles.  I had to crop the Lattice one just a bit.  Inks in; Black Licorice, Bermuda Bay, Crushed Curry and Tempting Turquoise.

 

 

 

 

Cheery Lynn Fancy Flourish die.  Thick Twine, Sparkly Ribbon and Iridescent Sequins for accents.

 

6 days til Spring?  Hope I can hold on!

 

Enjoy~~

 





Happy New Home

Good Monday Morning!

 I'm on the Dies R Us Blog again today to share a Happy New Home card with you!

 

 

 

I just adore these sweet little Paper Smooches Bird House dies.  They even include those adorable little birdies too.  Today they are Blue Birds, last month they were red Cardinals.....you get the idea.  Of course you can just change the look by die cutting different Designer Papers and/or card stock.  The possibilities are endless!

 

And what's a yard full of bird houses without a little Picket Fence, this one is by Amy Design.  Sentiment from Home Tweet Home by Gina K Designs, stamped in Marina Mist ink.  A little pretty Designer Paper and this card is ready to welcome someone to a brand new happy home!

 

Here's what I used:

You're So Tweet!

Good Monday Morning!

On the Dies R Us Blog today! 

 

 

 

You know I love a pretty tag.....and I just adore a pretty tag ON a card!

 

I used the Die-Namics, Stitched Traditional Tags, layered in Brown and Pale Blue card stock as my base.  Then I created my little garden scene complete with birdhouses, fence and feathered friends.  I die cut my Picket Fence by Amy Design in White card stock.....because every house, bird or otherwise, needs a little white picket fence!

 

 

Using the sweetest little Bird House set from Paper Smooches I die cut card stock in several different colors.  I  also added some texture to one using a Swiss Dots Embossing Folder.  Laying out each piece, I adhered them and topped with my fence.  Of course, it needed something more.  Enter the handy dandy Foliage 2 dies also by Paper Smooches.  I must say that these particular dies are VERY versatile!  I have used them in flower bouquets, as grasses, like here, I have even made a wreath using only them.....lots of them!  They really are one of my 'go to' dies....a MUST have in any craft room! 

 

 

Another little Die-Namics Stitched Traditional Tag, sentiment by Gina K Designs, Home Tweet Home, stamped in Real Red ink, topped with 2 Adhesive Pearls.

 

Accents include, Eyelet, Button, Twine and a Natural Fiber Ribbon in Green.  The large tag is popped up using 3 Dimensionals.

 

This could be used for a New Home, Thank You or All Occasion card.  I think the recipient would enjoy this piece of Happy Mail!

 

Enjoy~~
