Feelin' a little owlish

Good morning crafters!  Well, the allergy yuck has arrived and I've got full-on bronchitis.  Looks like a visit to the doc for shots is in my very near future!

I made this last night while I was still feeling halfway human.  I love this frame and this owl.  They didn't come together, but don't they go good together anyway?

I've got a lot of different products on this card, some were drug out of the archives!  The stamped frame is called Polka.Dot.Journal and the owl is Sweet Owl Just Because.  Its from the Stamp of the week collection so you do have to be a member of the SOTW but guess what?  Its only $5.79 a week and that INCLUDES the shipping!   Check out all the great products at the Unity Stamp Co.  I stamped my sentiment on a piece of Bo Bunny wrap and inked some white flowers in pink and added a touch of Stickles green glitter glue with Studio Calico enamel dots.  And that fabulous green net ribbon?  Lovin' it.  May arts ribbon.   LOVE this sweet card!

Thank you bird card

I've got a sweet little birdie thank you card that was super easy to make.  It started with a great piece of designer paper from the Paper Boutique Play kit, that I trimmed for my card.  I layered it on top of a piece of dark red heavy cardstock, which I had distressed the edges of.  Did I say that correctly?  I sometimes second guess my grammar.  With good reason....ha!

I used a coordinating small frame and stamped my sentiment and a pretty red heart, both of which come from the Unity Stamp Co Jillibean Blossom Soup kit.  That's it.  I usually spend hours on a card so it was so refreshing to whip one out in 10 minutes.  That has to be a first!!

Other supplies:  Memento London Fog ink, American Crafts Rouge ink, The Paper Studio textured cardstock darks, Tim Holtz distressing tool

Butterfly Happiness card

So yesterday I was on the road all day and this morning I woke up early in a crafty mood.  I won this stamp set recently from a Unity Blog contest and decided to put it to use.  I did some sanding and distressing of the cardstock,  inked and blinged.  The butterfly is stamped in  Memento London Fog ink for a shadow effect.   Then I stamped again on designer paper and fussy cut. 

The quote is from author Jon Krakauer.   Love how it turned out.

Supplies: The paper studio cardstock dark, Tim Holtz distressing tool, sandpaper, Unity Stamp Co "Real Shared Happiness" stamp set, Basic Grey candy buttons, Stickles diamond glitter glue, K&Company gemstones, Colorbok Bejeweled designer paper, Memento inks, Teresa Collins Vintage Finds twine and 6x6 stack (used for the 3d butterfly)
