Cute Owl Frame

Hey Friends,

 

Who doesn't love Home Décor?  This frame is simply adorable.  Would be so stinking cute in a little girls room or even a Shower Gift for an expectant mother.  Neither of which I have.  lol  

I enjoyed making this frame non-the-less. 

I suppose I could maybe send it to one of my nieces?  We will see...

Little details: 

1.  The feathers were made from a circle scalloped punch. 

2.  The owl pattern was drawn out and cut with scissors. 

3.  I inked around the edges to soften it up a bit. 

4.  Used buttons as the eyes. 

5.  The frame is a 8 x 8 frame from Michaels and I used paper inside. 

6.  I sewn around the grey mat to add a little more detail to the framed picture. 

7.  The owl was adhered using foam dots for the depth.

Thanks for stopping by today!  Hope you have a great week-end.

 

Thank You Card

Hi Friends,

 

Happy Friday!  Hope you all have a nice relaxing day to welcome your week-end. 

 

Today I am sharing with you a Thank You card that I made.  I don't normally send out Thank You cards- but I love how this one turned out.  The card is so bright and fun.  You could simply change up the sentiment with any that you choose. 

I have step by step instructions on how to create these below.

You're a Hoot

Hey there Friends,

 

I'm back again today to share with you a Tag I made using the K & Company "Handmade" collection. 

 

The Tag Base:

I cut out a tag with Craft Cardstock with my paper cutter.  Took the pattern paper from the K & Company "Handmade" collection and cut it out to fit the tag using my paper cutter & scissors to cut the angles.  On each side of the pattern paper is a strip of ribbon tucked under the paper onto the craft cardstock.  (the ribbon is from my personal stash)

 

The Embellishments:

I used the owls from the embellishment pack and used pop dots to add dimension to the tag.  I printed out "You're a Hoot" from my computer onto white cardstock.  I cut out with my scissors and inked around the edges with brown ink.  With a hole punch, I punched out a hole and laced some Shabby Chic Crinkled ribbon through the hole.  I made the ribbon long enough to tie onto a bag or present. 

Thanks for stopping by today.  :)

Friendship Card

Hey there! 

Today I am sharing with you another card I made for EK Success/K&Company.  This card was made using products from the "Handmade" collection. 

My favorite part of this card is the rolled flower.  K & Company "Handmade" collection has an embellishment pack full of the rolled flowers & I have used them on a few other projects as well as this one. 

I added some Shabby Chic Crinkled ribbon to give it more of a "vintage'y" look.  The ribbon came from my collection of ribbon that I really do need to shrink. 

Thanks for stopping by today. 

"My Work" Sightings

Hey Everyone,  

Today I thought I'd pop in here and share some of "MY WORK" sightings.  As many of you know-I freelance for EK Success Brands.  Which also includes Jolee's Boutique, K & Company, Sticko, Inkadinkado, and Martha Stewart Crafts.  Occasionally some of the work I do may appear on signage at Michael's, AC Moore, Joann's, Walmart and Hobby Lobby.  I am sharing below of what I have seen so far.  As I come across more signs I'll share with you.    

As I was shopping at AC Moore in Clifton, NJ.  I seen this sign up and had to take a picture.  

The following punches, I created the craft projects on the packaging.  I am sure these can be found in other places, but this picture was taken at the Michael's in Clifton, NJ.  

The following BOO frame was created using Jolee's Boutique product.  I love love this frame.  I took this picture at Joann's in Paramus, NJ.

I've got a fun card to share with you today using a Inkadinkadoo stamp. This was fun to put together with all the bright colors. Even though it is cloudy here in New Jersey I hope this card brightens your day. :)

I stamped this image 4 times in different colors of ink. Then cut out certain parts of each one and layered them accordingly on top of each other. I matted the finished piece with black card stock to make it pop against all the bright colors.

I cut 1/2" strips of pattern paper from K & Co Sweet Nectar paper line and used my EK Success Square punch to punch out the bottom of each of the strips to make pennants. Then I cut the strips to different lengths to have them staggered across the card. To finish off the card, I used my Scalloped border punch and make a border and then cut a very thin strip of black card stock to give it a place to ground.

Thanks so much for stopping by today.
