They will be made available for 24 hrs only. If you ‘follow me’ by e-mail, I will be giving you advance notice of the date the freebie will be available. ‘Cottage Window’ is the name of this digi and you’ll find it at SQUIGGLEFLY. I colored it with copics and kept it simple following a sketch from the Featured Stamper on SCS this week.  Linda’s pretty card can be seen at SCS.  The sentiment is from Stampin’ Up!

Cherish Blue Bird Tags

Published by

I’m making some new tags, and thought these would be lovely for a wedding wish tree or as a gift tag for a bridal shower or wedding gift.  The bird is a Unity Stamp and the sentiment is from Stampin’ Up!   Each tag is tied with 8 inches of baby blue paper cord  from fastrunningfox.  They measure 1 3/4″  x  2 3/4″. Find these and more in my SHOP !

Featured Stamper Distressed Texture

Published by

This card was inspired by the Featured Stamper (Terri A.k.a Die cut diva) today on SCS. I used Distress crackle paint, applying it to the kraft cs to get a textured cracked surface.  Then, I stamped various flowers,the  brick wall, and splatters on the 2″ x 2″ squares.  The squares are mounted on a 4.25″ bermuda bay panel of cardstock.  The finished card is 4.5″ square.  The bird is from 7gypsies clear stamps, cut out and popped up on  dimensional foam tape.

Primarily Masculine Birthday

Published by

This was made for my own challenge to make a birthday card using light bright primary colors.  I had a hunch that these colors would work well for  a more masculine birthday card.  After all, most men are just boys in man sized bodies! 😉  They are kids at heart! I used this multi stripe dp from Cosmo Cricket called GET HAPPY. I stamped the VOILA! chef from SU!, colored his cuffs, pants and necktie in bright colors, and popped up his chef’s hat on dimensional foam dots.   The sentiment says “Happy Birthday” in french.  I added two black brads and voila!  What do you think?  Does it work for a masculine birthday? Show me how you use your primary colors on a birthday card and leave me a link in this CHALLENGE POST ! Have a creative day everyone! Deena

As part of the DT I picked this cute digi stamp from Bugaboo to use for my card today. I used Stampin’ Up!
