Five Minute Friday Birdie

fmfhellobirdie

I am loving these little Felties!  Last week I showed the little owl and this week is this cute little guy

I used some Nestie Scalloped Circles I had in my scrap bin and some strips of brown paper I had out to make a little tree for this little guy to sit in.  Isn’t he cute?

Then I stamped the greeting from All Occasions Messages in Palette Burnt Umber and flanked it with the itty leaf (from the same greeting set) in Palette Landscape.  TADA!  Seriously…this wasn’t even 5 minutes!

Thanks for stopping by!  Enjoy your weekend!

More Mother’s Day cards

momsday2

Oops!  I just realized I never posted these two cards!!  HAHA!  Well, the layouts could be used for non-Mother’s Day cards so here you go!

Both of them use my favorite White Vases from The Card Company.  The blue one has the pink bouquet of flowers with a piece of white satin ribbon and pearls to accent the Victorian Pierceability border on the top and bottom.  The DP is the backside to Paisley Patch.

This other card uses Yellow Roses (my favorite flowers in case anyone was wondering).  :)It is layered on Oval Nesties and the ribbon is the sage faux suede.  YUMMO!  It matches the green in the Sugardrop DP perfectly.  The base of the card is our thick acetate.

The saying one both is from Happy Greetings – a great little (inexpensive) versatile set for this time of year and stamped in Palette Noir.

That’s it!  Thanks for stopping by today!

DT Challenge and SOA Challenge

dtchallengefsdaisies

Happy Memorial Day!  I hope you’re taking some time to enjoy your day off and to ultimately remember why we all have this day off.

This card is serving double duty today.  As I mentioned, PCP is hosting a Stampin’ Out Alzheimer’s fundraiser beginning TODAY and IHP and the IHP Design Team are sponsoring a challenge.  So this card is a combination DT Challenge and my SOA Challenge card.  You can play along to get a change to win a Flower Soft assortment (hand selected by me!) that is valued at over $30.  The winner will get:

All you have to do to play along is donate at least $5 to the SOA fundraiser HERE and then make a card or project that uses some sort of textured flower as your focal point.  It can be Flower Soft or flock or glitter or textured paper or any other flower that is textured. 

Additionally all SOA donors are invited to use an exclusive 10% off coupon through May 31 in our store off all items, including new and on sale items. And, as always free US shipping on orders $40 and over!  But, you have to donate and login over at SOA to see our ad to get the code!

PLUS…(as if that wasn’t enough!) go HERE and leave me a comment to tell me you donated and you’ll be entered into my special thank you blog candy drawing.

So…all those incentives plus amazing giveaways through other SOA sponsors (over 40 companies!) and a chance to reach out and make a difference for a very worthwhile cause…what more reason do you need to donate just $5!?!!?  GO NOW!!!!

Back to my card details…

For my card I kind of CASED myself because I love the look of the Sunshine Yellow Flower Soft as daisy middles.  So I used some fabric flowers I had and made them into daisies.  I used the Olive Vine ribbon for stems – cute huh?  The background is embossed with the new Impressabilities Butterfly.  The greeting is from Chelsea Greetings and is stamped in Paris Lights (P.S. – ALL PALETTE INKS ARE only $5.50 now!) onto a tag from Nesties Ribbon Tag Trio and is adhered with the sage faux suede ribbon

I love all the textures on this card – the Flower Soft, the suede ribbon, the embossing and the stems.  I wish you could feel it!

Thanks for stopping by!  Have a great day!

Just a quick note that yesterday I listed 114 Stampin’ Up! items for sale on eBay.  Everything is listed for $5 and I just want it GONE!  So, if you’re looking for some SU! deals, please go check them out!  I also have TONS of DSP, 12x12 cardstock and embellishments that I will be looking to get rid of once these auctions all close.  Boy is my mailman really gonna hate me in about a week!  So, if you’re looking for something, please let me know.  I’ll give you a great deal!!

Thanks and have a great weekend!

Five Minute Friday Owlie

fmfowlfeltie

Happy Friday!  I hope you have a nice Memorial Day planned!

I’ve got a few things to talk about.  First of all, how cute is this owl??  He is called a Feltie and he is from the new Sassafras Lass line Jungle Bungle.  He comes in a package with a few friends and they are are adorable!  The base of this card is SU! Garden Green, layered with SU! Summer Sun.  The little tree tag behind him is a sticker from Jungle Bungle.  There are some great shapes on this sheet and makes for a super quick card.  The ribbon is the Brown Leaf Vine and was the perfect tie-in to the tree/owl theme.  The greeting is from Chelsea Sentiments and I stamped it in Palette Burnt Umber and Sunflower.  Cute eh?

<></>
