Another Card Using Happy Home

This card also uses the Happy Home stamp set and the Heart and Home Thinlits. I also used the other thinlit in the set to make the window sill planter. The flowers were punched using the punch from Itty Bitty Punch Pack and the leaves are punched using the Owl Builder punch. I used my white chalk marker on the clouds and placed everything on top of card stock that was run through the Big Shot suing the Brick Wall Textured Embossing Folder.

Little Monsters

Another card using the Owl Builder punch to make the little monsters. Their mouths were drawn on freehand. The arms are cut from a separate owl body using the feet to make hands. The banner is made using the Itty Bitty Banners stamp set and the coordinating Bitty Banners framelit. CASE: Pinterest find Craft-Your-Home.com

Party Penquin

CASE of Australian stamper Tenealle Williams. This card was fun to make but I'll admit there were lots of steps to put it all together. The penguin alone has 10 pieces to adhere. But it sure is cute!

Lovely Layout

This is a lovely layout and great for using up some Designer Series Paper scraps. As a Stampin' Up! demonstrator I get to see previews of the catalogs before the sales begin. The new holiday catalog has some beautiful DSP in it! I especially like the new one for fall but had a little bit left from last year's fall pattern. So, I told myself I can't order the new until the old is gone.
So, I grabbed my 1-inch square punch and used up quite a bit making these two cards. The little squares are layered on 3-1/4" cardstack squre and that is layered on a 3-1/2" square.

Banner Cut Out

I saw a card where the banner was cut out along the edge and expression was stamped above that cut out. I changed it up a bit. This was a quick and easy card using my Big Shot, Banner Framelits and Birthday Bash Designer Series Paper.

Here's another card using one of the foil sheets from the Birthday Bash DSP. I used the Small Oval punch and the feet from the Owl Builder Punch to make the balloons.

A-B-C's for TBT

Today's cards use the retired You're My Type stamp set along with retired Just Add Cake DSP that has the pretty alphabet and number paper. The top card also uses some of the retired First Edition Specialty Paper. Both cards use the retired Spiral Border Punch which has been re-introduced as an edge punch. The teeny heart on the pink card was punched using the Owl Builder punch. I'm sure I've used that punch more for the heart than for building owls. The twine on the pink card is some of the Wild Wasabi Painted Blooms Cotton Twine in the current Occasions catalog.
You're My Type was a popular stamp set. Maybe you have it!

Birthday Bash!

A little girl we know is turning two this month. She's the first grandchild of friends. I know Grandma and Grandpa will enjoy celebrating with her. I used the Birthday Bash Speciality Paper from the Occasions catalog for the two corner squares. This is one of the two sheets in the package that are one-sided embossed gold foil. It's hard to tell on the photo but some of the little sprinkles are gold foil embossed. Pretty paper! For the center square, flame tips and little heart (from Owl Builder Punch) I used a piece of gold foil sheet. The Cupcake Builder Punch makes for a quick focal point. The stamp set is the retired Create a Cupcake but check out the new Cupcake Party set in Stampin' Up!'s big catalog. One of my nieces introduced me to this sketch design and I've been having lots of fun with it.
Here's a fun valentine I made using the same sketch.

Lots of retired product on this one; Oh, Whale! stamp set, and coordinating embosslit, Cloudy Day and Scallops embossing folders. The sentiment inside is "Whale you be mine?"  I'm hoping some little family members will get the pun.

Turkey Time!

When I saw this Turkey punch art that Linda Heller did I had to make one! It is so cute and just 3 punches needed to make the turkey and tray (Bird Builder, Modern Label and Owl Builder). The rest of the card is made using the Circle Card Thinlit, Stylish Stripes Embossing Folder, 2-1/2" circle punch and 2-3/8 scallop circle punch. Thanksgiving cards are all done at my house!
