Owl Case'ing

Hi  All,
I wanted to share a cute card that I CAS'ed  from Working Out the Inks. Check out her blog! Anyhow I realized that I needed a few more Halloween cards and thought that Regina's card was a perfect inspiration! Here is my card:

 

I love the new Holiday Home set and loved the idea of using the Owl Punch in the foreground. I totally copied the idea of drawing the spider web on the door. Loved it!

Thanks for stopping by Karin

Mojo Wednesday!

Hi All,
I wanted to share some of my Halloween cards that used some of the awesome new goodies in the new Holiday Catalog! I knew that I had to get my own Halloween cards done but was stumped for a layout so I went on over to Mojo Monday and they had this great sketch:

 

I knew this would be perfect! Here is what I came up with:

 

Love, Love Love the new Holiday Home Polymer stamp set with the coordinating Homemade Holiday framelits. These Polymer stamps were SO easy to use and line up! It was also a great way to play with my Blendabilities! Its so great to be able to blend colors without them bleeding through the paper! Love the end result! Thanks for stopping by!

I need a little Mojo!

Hi All,
I wanted to share what feels like the first card in "forever"! I had finally gotten a chance to go on over to Mojo Monday and they had a great sketch:

 

Loved the shapes! Here is what I came up with:

 

I was SO excited, as I finally got a chance to break out my Kind Koala stamp and used my blendabilities to shade the cute little guy with his flower. I was also able to use the Lullaby DP that is available in the catalog. Love the colors and the patterns! I used a base of Pistachio Pudding with Baked Brown Sugar that I had run through my stripes EF, An in-color Dahlia and some ribbon and I was done! I definitely needed this sketch to get me refocused!

Thanks for stopping by!

More Fun with Blendabilities!

Hi All,
I wanted to share some thank you cards I made last night using my Blendabilities. I had an idea about combining the different color families and wondering how many colors I could combine and still like the end product. Here is what I came up with:

 

The one on the right uses three groups: Cherry Cobbler, Pumpkin Pie and Daffodil Delight, all medium shades. The one on the left uses the dark and medium shades of the Cherry Cobbler and the medium shade of the Pumpkin Pie markers with a Daffodil Delight center. I like them both but really love the warmth of the left card. I did change the focus of where I placed the colors as I placed the darkest color near the center of the petal versus starting on the outside of the petal moving towards the center with the lightest color. Love experimenting with these markers!! Email me with any questions!

Thanks Karin

Happy Fathers Day!

Hi All,
I wanted to share the father's day card I made for my dad, it was also my first attempt with the Blendabilities. Without further adieu:

I used the Rich Razzleberry colors and some Cottage Wall DP. I used the Daffodil Delight markers for the center and the Well Scripted set for the sentiment. Hope everyone enjoys Father's Day!
