Owl Autumn MFP Simple Salut Card Ch14 Tweet Bird

Created this Owl Autumn Card for Mark's Finest Papers (MFP) Simple Salutations Challenge#14 Tweet Bird. Paper pieced the Owl cutting Owl out with scissors.

The Owl & "Autumn" sentiment are from MFP Autumn Splendor stamps.

Used Spellbinder dies for layers.

Gave the card texture using burlap, embossing, recycled piece of shiny paper from ATG adhesive refill tape & twine.
Discovered that you I could not stamp on the shiny paper; not even with StazOn.

Woodgrain embossing folder used on Kraft cardstock base & core'dinations cardstock layer.

Used Tim Holtz Vagabond to cut the leaves from TH Tattered Leaves using scraps of Autumn color cardstock. Used Stamp N Plus chalk on the leaves. If you have not heard of or seen this chalk please check out the Chalk-Ah-Lot Cafe Stamp N Plus store.

Pizzelle Cookie Recipe Layout

Created this layout of one of my favorite cookies,
Pizzelle Cookies, that I make at Christmas time.
For those who may not know Pizzelle Cookies are
also known as Italian Wedding Cookies. The
Pizzelle machine I have that I use to make the
cookies wihth has a Snowflake pattern so that
lends them to be perfect for Christmas. The
flavoring that I use is the traditional anise which
has a licorice taste.

Sweethearts Tandem Bike Card

Created this Tandem Bike card using Sweethearts Cricut cartridge. When I bought the cartridge last yr I wanted it specifically for the tandem bike cut. Some of you may know & other may not but I tell people I can pilot a single-engine plane but cannot ride a regular bike unless it is a tandem bike like one that hubby & I have. I had a tricycle when younger that was red. Growing up we lived off a highway and older sister got a regular bike but I did not and did not get a chance to learn to ride. Later after college I took flying lessons; thus reason why I can pilot a single-engine plane.
















Sweethearts Cricut cartridge bike 3"

Used paper: 2 shades of blue, 2 shades of green & white that were in 2011 Online Summer Card Camp Wk 4 (last wk) color palette.

Used a couple of stickers: 2 flowers & basket decor (all in same color palette)

twine for bike tire spokes (took quite awhile to use the mini pop dots to do this but was well worth it)

brads for tire embellishing

Martha Stewart grass edge punch

foam adhesives

Zig 2 way glue pen to put this together
