An "Old Bird" and Her Coffee.

My mother loves to watch the birds as she drinks her coffee each morning. Of course she looks nothing like the "Old Bird" in this image, yet it reminds me of her. I imagine her each morning walking around coffee in hand, checking her birds feeders and pulling a random weeds from the flower bed.

There were two stamps used on this card front. "Old Bird" by Unity Stamp Co. and a wooded background stamp. The background stamp was purchased a few years back before I realized the importance of keeping record of where it was purchased or who designed it. It's been colored over a couple days and I failed to keep track of the variety of distress oxide inks and Copic markers this time around as I wasn't initially planning to post it on here to share.

Panda and Fox

A very talented young lady is approaching her first double digit birthday! Undecided on what to do for a card I started digging though my stamp collection I came across Unity's Sweet Panda Friend . This young lady has requested stuffed animals for her big day, so I felt it would work perfectly. I stamped and heat embossed the panda in the middle of card and then stamped out a second image on a sticky note. The image on the sticky note was fussy cut and used to mask the panda on the card front. In addition to masking the panda I also took a piece of washi tape and ran it down both sides of the card, to mask that area. Once I completed masking I used Taylored Expressions Gifted Background stamp to build out the background image of gifts. The last stamp used on the card front is from Jaded Blossoms Hello Hello stamp set. I purchased this stamp set a couple years back and just noticed today as I went to get the link for you that it is on sale at 70% off so it may be on it'

Introducing Holiday Dangles!

Wear a pop of color and flare to your next holiday event and let your ears do the talking! These gorgeous dangles will bring fun to any outfit. Do you have that favorite ugly sweater or maybe you are crafty and make your own each year for those special gatherings, the tinsel dangles would be a perfect accessory. It's been fun making these dangles and I intend to make and sell more. They are simple to make once you have the right tools on hand. Some makers cut out their designs by hand, while others use electric cutting machines such as a Cameo or Cricket or cutting dies. These particular earrings were made with cutting dies and leathers purchased through https://www.tayloredexpressions.com/shop/designer-dangles . I have the ability to create using a Cameo or Scan N Cut, but I prefer the cleaner cuts I get using dies such as those found at TE.
