Christmas cats

     Did you see the new special flip card release at Simon Says Stamp?  The set includes a row of penguins and one of snowmen.  Super cute and meant to be used just like this one.  Art Impressions created a die just for making the flip card and it makes it sooo easy.  This set is called Christmas Kitty.

     The die design creates a flap at the top that holds the second part of the sentiment and then you get the sweet backside of all those Christmas kitties.

     I seem to have caught a bug so not feeling too well.  Hoping you are all healthy and happy.

Branch-o-quail

     Don't know about you, but I can honestly say I've never seen another quail stamp set.  LOL  Art Impressions has solved that problem with their Hoppy Bird Set.

     I didn't stamp the entire balloon string but rather used some black sewing thread to create it.  We have tons of these little fellows around here although we call them a bob white more than a quail.

Copics Used:

quail E31, E55, E74, E79, YR23, C8, C4, R14

branch E15, E25, E27

     Brand new week.  Hope it's a great one for you.

She Shed

     Today you can find the brand new Mini Tryfolds and Circlet Mini Tryfolds in the Art Impressions shop.  This includes the Halloween set I posted a couple of days ago.  For today's card I have used the Potting Shed MTF.

     Here's a close up of the front view with all the layers combined.

Ginger Raccoon

     Looks like the temps here may be going up a bit in the next few days, but fall is still in full swing.  This is a season of thankfulness and little Ginger Raccoon from Purple Onion Designs wants to join in.

     I've used the sketch from Freshly Made Sketches this week.  For the strip Ginger is sitting on, I laid down a strip of  double sided tape onto some cardstock and added some glitter, burnishing it well with a bone folder.  It's a beautiful rich copper brown color.
