Chicken Coop

Happy St. Patty's Day! I have a fun card for you today :) 

I saw this idea over at France Martin's blog. She made an adorable chicken coop. I just knew I wanted to make one too, but add my spin to it. So, I started with her idea and inevitably, it ended up in a project of me re-screening (is that a word?!) our patio door. Yep, you read that right. I needed screen material for the card I wanted to do. Our screen door was a mess (yea, that's what happens when you have lots of animals) so, in Frenchie's words, "Viola!" repaired screen and had enough material leftover for a cute card as a bonus! 😉

I used an Urban Underground Embellishment for the door handle and used the Labeler Alphabet stamps for the sign.

Unfortunately the Hey Chick stamp set will be ending along with Sale-A-Bration in 2 weeks. 😞😞 Don't miss your opportunity to get yours free with a $50 purchase before March 31st!

Merry Christmoose!

As I sit here typing this blogpost that will go live in the morning, my toothless, old, cataract-ridden Rat Terrier, Buster, just chased a possum off the porch! My heart did flip flops trying to catch up with him in the dark and make sure he didn't get himself hurt (or rabies!) Turns out Mr. Possum stopped next to the house & Buster kept going! All's well that ends well. Buster returned and the possum missed looking down the end of a 12-gauge since hubby couldn't find him when he went back out. 

Now that that drama is over, onto our next card :)

Merry Christmoose!

This is the 2nd card from last weeks class. I started with a base of Real Red cardstock and layered it with Candy Cane Lane DSP. I stamped "merry" with the Layered Letters Alphabet stamps. "Christmoose" was stamped using the Labeler Alphabet stamp set.  The moose was stamped from the Jolly Friends stamp set on Sahara Sand and Crumb Cake & fussy cut out. We cut the antlers off the Crumb cake, cut the Sahara Sand moose off underneath the eyes and adhered it to the back of the crumb cake piece so the antlers would be lighter than the head.

The hat pieces were punched with the Jolly hat builder punch in Real Red and Whisper White. We added Mica flakes on the hat brim with tombow glue and added the mini jingle bell at the tip with mini glue dots.

The finishing touch was the Candy Cane Lane baker's twine and the sentiment inside from the Cookie Cutter Christmas stamp set.

I just love this moose :)

If you'd like to buy any of the items to make this card, I'd love to help you out. :)

Until tomorrow, Happy Stamping!

Stalled Rudolph

This is a card I designed and made for a challenge last month. Being a horse person, I know a little bit about stalls. It only seemed fitting that I built one for Rudolph ;) I'm just glad I don't have to muck Rudy's stall too! LOL

 I started by using the Hardwood background stamp on Sahara Sand CS. I cut the boards for his stall door, created a box with and x in the center and propped it up on some dimensionals. I stamped Rudy from the Cookie Cutter Christmas bundle & heat embossed his nose with our new red glitter embossing powder after punching him out. I punched the sign from the decorative label punch and used the labeler alphabet stamps to spell out his name. I propped my stall front up on the Warmth & Cheer DSP. 

 The ridges on the stall topper were made with the Best Badge Punch. Then the topper was propped up with several dimensionals stacked on top of each other. I intertwined Kraft Rope Trim & Candy Cane Lane twine with a gingerbread Christmas Trinket and glued it to the stall door for a handle.

I am loving this new holiday catalog! If you don't have a demonstrator and need a catalog, please let me know. I'd love to be your demo! :)

I hope you enjoyed today's card share.

Happy Stamping!

Thoughtful Branches Pumpkin

In light of the fact that Stampin' Up! still has the Thoughtful Branches bundle available, I thought I'd share the card I made yesterday. Its my Thoughtful Branches pumpkin.

I cut it out using our Pumpkin Pie Glimmer Paper. Isn't it cute?! I used the Vintage leaves stamp set to create the background and the Layering Oval Framelits for my sentiment. The sentiment was put together with the Labeler Alphabet stamps
