Scaredy Cat #3

Here we go, the third of my Scaredy Cat swap cards!  I love versatility in products and this one is a favorite!  Would you think this is was created with Halloween paper?  No!  That's what makes the Close To My Heart B&T Duos so appealing. 

One side of the patterned paper doesn't work for your project? 

Flip it over for another option! 

 

 

Additional Products used:  Card base: Art Philosophy Cricut Collection, Scaredy Cat paper pack, Lovely Birthday stamp set, Pink Glitter Gems, Thistle Diagonal Striped ribbon, Colonial White cardstock, Black stamp pad.

Scaredy Cat #2!

Here's my second Scaredy Cat card from a recent swap. This festive card showcases a bit of the Halloween collage pattern paper.  So many cute little designs giving you all sorts of options for your projects!  I used the spoooky fence and bitty pumpkins.  Love them!

 

 

Additional products used:  Artiste Cricut Collection, Halloween Greetings Stamp Set, Scaredy Cat Assortment, Black Stamp Pad, Black Shimmer Trim, Black Mini Medley Collection,

What a HOOT!

This cute little owl is part of the August Stamp of the Month set and is super sweet for any occasion!  Here he is ready wish someone a Happy Birthday! 

 

 

This card went together in just a few minutes using the Cut Above Happy Birthday Card Kit!  I simply stamped the owl, hat, and flowers on White Daisy Cardstock, and the wings on Skylark B&T paper.  I added a bit of color with Watercolor Pencils, a couple of Black Sparkle eyes and tada....quick and cute!

Pinspiration!

I love a little Pinterest!  Okay, make that a LOT of Pinterest!
 I must have thousands of ideas pinned for inspiration and I am
happy to say, I really do try quite a few of them!

Here's a card I made with a little Pinspiration using a fun and easy technique called Bokeh. You know, the background effect in photography?  I combined the ideas from a couple cards, and this is the result!

 

 I used my sponge daubers and four colors of ink to make the colorful Bokeh style background.  I simply tapped dots all over the card with the daubers. Added a sentiment and embellished with some Glitter Paper circles, Gold Sequins, and Clear Sparkles! 
Ta Da!
Easy, fast, and fun!

 Other Supplies Used:
White Daisy Cards/Envelopes, Happy Couple Stamp Set
Stamp Pads: Sweet Leaf, Juniper, Lagoon, Black,(Sky- retired)
