It's all about the feathers

Colleen from Scrappin Granny here to share a fun little card to make.

I started by just adding a brown piece of cardstock on top of my card.

The next step was to rub ink onto my embossing folder and then I put a piece of cream cardstock in 

the embossing folder and ran it through my machine.  It adds some depth of the embossing.

I added the embossing cardstock to the top of the brown cardstock.

I used teal to cut out the feather using Feather set by EK Success.  Once I had all the feathers cut out, I starting embossing them.

The final steps are just adding the rest of the embellishments and laying everything down on the card. I decided it needed some more movement to the card so I added some vines to it.  I used Leafy Flourish by Cherry Lynn to create the vines.

Here is the finished card.

Perky Poppy Birthday Card.

March already, where is the time going?  Time to share a fun, bright, perky birthday card using dies from Dies R Us.

I started with the soft background cardstock.

Next I used the Perky Poppy die by Memory Box and cut out several poppies.

Since I wanted color from the poppies I glued them onto a piece of brightly colored scrap of cardstock.  Once they were glued on I cut around them.

This is what the finished poppies look like.

Next I used the biggest jar in the  Cutter Bee Die Set by EK Success to cut out a jar using a piece of corrugated cardboard and then covered the top with Goosebumps spray to give it a glossy look.

 I used the Leafy Flourish by Cheery Lynn to cut several vines.

Now it is time to put them all together to create a pretty, perky card.  I used thin strips of left over cardstock to make the ribbon and bow around the jar.

My turn to share a fun project using products from Whisker Graphics

 It doesn't have to be Valentine's Day to give loved ones gifts. These Middy Bitty Buckets are just the right size to fit little gifts inside.

I started with a Middy Bitty Bucket.

Next I printed out the hearts from a Silhouette die onto the Scalloped Round Tags. I print and then cut out another set of hearts.

Next I inked around the edges of the tag.

Next I cut out a doily from a die and adhered that to the back of the tag. Then I used a gold doily and

cut around the edges and adhered the tag and doily to the gold doily.

Finally I added some ribbon to the back and around the top of the bucket. To finish it off, I decided not to add it as a tag but used the red twine to make a bow and added that to the front of the tag.

I them adhered the entire tag to the front of the bucket and added my second heart to the top of the bucket.
