Meowy Christmas Card

 Hi friends!  Just a quick post today.  Still trying to stay positive and safe during this pandemic.  My crafty mojo has been gone but I forced myself to make this card.  I used stamps from the Tim Holtz Stamptember 2020 release from Simon Says Stamp.  


I wanted to make a card flat enough for mailing, so this card has very little dimension.  The plaid paper is from an older Tim Holtz Christmas paper pad.  The tree is by Tim Holtz.  The image was colored with Copic Markers and accented with Distress Ink.  Twine and flat gold beads are from my stash  The string of lights, the cats nose and eyes were highlighted with Glossy Accents.

There it is.  I'm not real thrilled with the card but I tried.  Today is overcast with heavy winds and rain predicted later so I'm off to put on a big pot of homemade chicken noodle soup.  Have a good week ahead, everyone, and stay safe.  Thanks for stopping by!

Eek! Card

 Happy November!  Anyone out there glad to see this year over?  For me, there are more reasons than one!  I'm a little late in sharing this Halloween card.  Halloween is not big on my list of things but I wanted to make a card for my sweet little grandson that wasn't scary.


This stamp and die set is from Taylored Expressions.  I thought it was just so cute and sweet!  Those of you who know me well know that I am not a spider fan but these ones are not scary!   Copic markers were used to color the images.  Edges were inked with Distress Ink.  Glossy Accents, Stickles and sequins give added sparkle.  

Well, that's all for today.  It's a rainy chilly day here and I'm about to roast a chicken for a  bit of comfort food.  Stay safe and well, everyone.  US citizens, if you haven't yet, please make sure to vote!
