Happy Cat-o-ween by Jenny Alia

Hi, it's Jenny here today with a Halloween card featuring one of the new Halloween dies from the new Fall and Winter release. This cat is perfect for Halloween but would be really cute on an all occasion or birthday card too. It has a little spider dangling from it's tail but it's so simple to snip that off.

I used a die that normally makes flower centers to create the black flowers. They are from the Embellishment #1 die and I love how light and airy they are. The yellow-green flowers are small Tea Roses that have been embellished with green glitter glue and the black centers are from the Embellishment #2 die set. The white flowers are Dandelions, I added them in for a pop of color and I like the texture. I used them instead of adding leaves.

I cut the doily once out of black card stock and then the center of the doily out of whit paper. I cut it out with a Classic Circle die from the L4 set.

Wonderful Mother's Day

Debbie's Time Out 9:30 AM 0 Comments

This is the second post of the day. Be sure to scroll down to see the card Bonnie shared as well.

A warm Hello to you today. I't Debbie from Debbie's Time Out. I would like to wish all you Mothers out there an very Happy Mother's day and hope you have the most wonderful day on Mother's Day.

I started this card buyplacing the English Tea Party Doily in the center. I then made the tea cup as my focal point which I have explained below. I added the Add a Flourish which kind of looks like steam coming out of the cup and then tucked in a couple of the sentiment hearts. The Paris Sign was layered on the top corner. I printed the sentiment out and then placed the Paris 4 sign die over top of the printed sentiment so I could layer it on top of the sign. I stamped on the Pierced Banners and layered it along the bottom.

For this Mother's Day card that I have created, I wanted to use a tea cup but didn't have a die for it so I used one of the vases from the Vase (Set of 4 and the Paris Signs 4 - B550 to create this tea cup. I cut the top off the vase and used one of the flourishes from the Paris sign for the handle. I think it turned out pretty cool. I used the Felicity Tiny Doily - DL243 folded in half to set the tea cup on.

These hearts are from the Sweetheart Candy die set and works great even on a Mother's Day card. I really liked the hearts tucked into the flourishes.
