Santa Paws...

...is  Coming to Town!  I have switched from Christmas birds to Christmas puppies!  Isn't he a Christmas cutie?  The stamp set I used is from My Favorite Things Stamps, Happy Pawlidays.  The set consists of  four puppy images, a Christmas tree, lights, a variety of Christmas sentiments and more.  The set also has coordinating dies.  Once again I used my Spectrum Noir markers to color the image.  The Wonky Stitches frame die by Avery Elle goes with the "tangled in lights" dog!  Have a great day!

Peace & Joy

 

As promised, here is another bird card!  Isn't this one so cute, too?  These little guys were created using the dies from Elizabeth Craft Designs~~Birds.  After die cutting the pieces, I sponged ink on the edges of the birds and the scarf prior to putting the Christmas birds together.  The sentiment is another from the retired Good Greetings stamp set.  I am fortunate to have real birds in my life. Between Nipper, Dexter and Everly, there is always plenty of chirping and talking, lots of laughter and many beaky kisses. So when I am making these bird cards, I want the little guys to be as cute as mine really are in person!  Have a great day and find yourself a little stampin' time!

Silly Christmas Bird

When I saw this silly little bird stamp, I needed it!  Of course, I say that about most of the bird stamps I just have to have.  The image is from C.C. Designs, Roberto's Rascals Winter Birds.  The little bird was heat embossed using Versafine black ink and SU clear embossing powder.  I used Spectrum Noir markers to color the little bird.  Even his little boots are cute!  This is definitely a clean and simple card.  Have a great day!

Sunday Fun!

On Sunday, John, Matt, Jen, Mark, Sydney and I went to the Oriental Theater to see the musical, Escape To Margaritaville.  We had a great time and enjoyed the musical immensely.  Of course, it helps to be a Jimmy Buffett fan and to know all the songs.  It was silly and delightful and a very happy place  to spend a Sunday afternoon.  If you are a parrothead, you will surely feel like we all did~~we would go see it again! 


And then we went outside and the cold air brought us back to reality~~and the fact that Christmas is right around the corner. This is a simple card I made using the Penny Black stamp set, Winter Wonderland for the cute little Santa bird.  The sentiment is from a retired Stampin' Up set, Good Greetings.  The image was colored using alcohol markers.  I think this week will be postings of all the Christmas cards I created with at least one little bird on the front.  Have a great day!
