Egg card

There is a cute egg card all over Pinterest.  I'm not sure where it originated so it's hard to give credit. This is my version.  I added the chick from Sale-a-Bration.  The egg was made with the Work of Art set.  I had to use a retired purple since my purples are practically non-existent!  The colors I used are:  Pool Party, Blushing Bride, So Saffron, Pear Pizzazz, and Lavender Lace (retired).

I cut the hole out with an oval die and put the panel through the Big Shot with the Elegant Dots Textured Embossing Folder.  I then stamped the colors with Work of Art and put the oval panel over it.  The chick was fussy cut and colored with blender pen and So Saffron ink.  I added a bit of Pumpkin Pie for the beak and Crushed Curry for the shading.

Then I cut a couple of banners.  I seriously could not live without this punch!!  Added a flower with a pearl and called it a day.

I hope you like my version.  Please let me know what you think!  And let me know if you have any questions I can answer.

Tempur-trees

I received an ad for Tempur-Pedic and I've been looking at it on my counter.  I would love a Tempur-pedic mattress, but I'm not ready to shell out the $3500+ dollars.  I did love the cover of their mailing though.  I decided to bring it up to my craft room to try and duplicate it.  Here's what I came up with. I stamped the trees in Whisper White and Sahara Sand (one of them is stamped half and half).  I stamped dots on one and colored in the dots on one with gold and green.I punched the trees out (two were punched smaller). Then I scored two of the trees in half and popped them with dimensionals.  I stamped the sentiment and then the snow from the Sheltering Tree set. It's very hard to see the gold in the photo.  All products are listed below.  Let me know what you think!

PPA 222

The number 222 reminds me of the old show, Room 222!  LOL  I know I'm dating myself here, but I was just a kid (wink).  Do any of you remember that show?

Anyway, I loved working with this color combo for the Pals Paper Arts!  I made one card and decided I liked the combo enough to try out my wonderous wreath framelits and stamps.  I started with the Hardwood background stamp.  I also used the Bitty Banner framelits on top of a framelit from the Project Life cards & labels framelit set to give it a different look.  I made this for my mom for Thanksgiving.  I need to get a jump on my cards because I won't be able to craft for a bit after my surgery.  I know I won't get to make Christmas cards and that makes me sad.  I hope to make a few special ones before the 24th because I have some new products to use!!  

Thanks for looking and taking a sec to leave me a comment. Hope you all have a great weekend!
