Happy Bird-Day

Happy Tuesday!! I hope you are having a wonderful last week of October!! Anyone have any fun Halloween parties to attend this weekend? If so, are you dressing up?

I have been in love the with Tim Holtz Crazy Birds since they first came out. I don't know why it took me so long to purchase them. I used the Crazy Birds stamps and dies and the Crazy Things stamps and dies for these cards. I kept the cards pretty CAS for my first attempt at using them. I hope you don't get tired of them because I'm going to use them a lot :) For the backgrounds, I used the TH Splatter Stencil, which was one of the things I won from the TH September 2015 Tags challenge.

For this bird, I used Distress Markers in Spiced Marmalade, Ripe Persimmon, Scattered Straw and Squeezed Lemonade, along with a TH Water Brush. The background was created with the same colors of Distress Ink, plus a touch of Walnut on the edges. Happy is a My Creative Time die and the banner is a Lil' Inker Stitched Banner die. The sentiment is from an old K Andrew Designs stamp set.

This birdie was colored with Faded Jeans, Salty Ocean, Peacock Feathers and Mowed Lawn. I am entering these in the following challenges:

1) Little Scrap Pieces Show It Off Saturday - Anything Goes
2) Word Art Wednesday - Anything Goes

Thanks so much for stopping by!! Have a great week :)

I love the Whispers Bethlehem die...it's my favorite from the August release. I thought it would look so pretty as a decoration, so I cut it out in black foam tape and wrapped it around a candle.

I also used it on a a few cards. There are so many possibilities for this die...it's a definite must-have :) I also used the Sweet Wordlet Merry Christmas die on this card and...

Scrapy Land Blog Challenge #28 - Embossing

Happy Wednesday!! I'm sorry it's been so long since I've posted. I'm still trying to get caught up from being gone for so long. It's time for another Scrapy Land Blog Challenge. For this challenge, we want to see your embossing projects (heat or dry), using a brand of die that Scrapy Land carries...there are over 40 to choose from :)

For these cards, I started with a Tim Holtz Distressed Brick embossing folder. I spritzed pink cardstock with water before I embossed it to bring out the texture then stitched it to the base. The edges were distressed with a Zutter DIA.

The flowers are clustered over a Cheery Lynn English Tea Party Doily die. Cheery Lynn Dandelion dies were tucked among the blooms.

The sentiment banner is a Taylored Expression Banner Stacklets 1 die. The sentiments were heat embossed with Lana Pink Embossing Powder from Sparkle & Sprinkle. The butterflies are Memory Box Pippi and Memory Box Isabella dies, covered in Doodlebug Sugar Coating. The button on the crinkle ribbon is a Poppystamps Stitched Button die.

I am entering these in the following challenges:

1) Little Scrap Pieces Show It Off Saturday - Anything Goes
2) Jo's Scrap Shack Funday Friday - Anything Goes
3) Word Art Wednesday - Anything Goes
4) Sparkle N Sprinkle October Challenge - Anything Goes w/glitter, ep, flocking
