OCC Insider Day 1

I finally got to tackle some of the techniques from Online Card Classes' Insider class.  For Day 1, I used two techniques, using an "action wobbler" and soft stamping. Both of these cards were already made a while back but I had left the insides blank.

Here is card #1 using the wobbler:

Here is card #2 using soft stamping - I created a mask using the snowflake die that creates the window on the front of the card.

Thanksgiving Card for PTI MIM #132

This week's Make It Monday is to use layered border die cuts on a card.  I used the Leafy Vine border die on my card and that adorable squirrel again!

It may be hard to see, but the I flipped up the larger leaf sections a bit to create some dimension and I also embossed the sentiment in white so it would pop.

Ingredients: PTI Nuts for You, Tag Its #7, Leafy Vine die; Doodlebug Happy Harvest pattern paper; American Crafts Halloween pattern papers; Basic Grey Life of the Party pattern papers

Thanksgiving Greetings card for CAS-Fridays #115

Here is my latest card using that adorable Nuttie the Squirrel stamp again!  This time it's for the CAS-Fridays Challenge #115.

I actually got stuck when I started this card. It all came together when I saw the challenge and when I added the leaves it worked!!

Peace-Love-Joy Card for Festive Friday

It's Festive Friday time! For Challenge #16 it's a trigger challenge based on the word "Peace."

I decided to make a one-layer card with a die-cut window.

It's hard to tell in the pic but I've sprayed the entire card with Calico Shine mist for a little sparkle.
