I made this card for a swap. Since I figured most people would be doing Christmas cards, I stuck with Valentine’s Day to make sure there was some variety. Plus, I have these cute stamps just waiting for projects like this–I can’t resist this little guy. He’s soo cute!

The inspiration came from this card over on Splitcoast. Can you believe I’ve never used Kraft cardstock until now? Well I have to admit, I kinda like it 🙂 Kathleen’s card caught my eye for two reasons: the kraft and the googly eyes. I have A TON of googly eyes in all sizes left over from assorted Halloween projects that I have to start using up. This was perfect timing!

Supplies: Cardstock: Kraft, Sweet Always DSP, Chocolate Chip, Regal Rose, Whisper White; Stamps: Love Owlways; Ink: Choc Chip; Accessories: Regal Rose 5/8″ grosgrain, paper piercer, scallop edge punch, watercolor pencils, blender pen, regal rose marker, googly eyes, crystal effects, dimensionals.

This is a card I made a few weeks ago and forgot about posting it. I made it for my sister who is expecting. While she thinks it’s a boy, I think it’s a girl. But who knows–we’ll find out in a couple weeks!

I made a similar card once, using the sticky cut letter “h” with glitter and the happy stamp from Happy Everything. I loved the design so much I am hoarding it. I may never part with it, unless it’s a VERY special person. A very special person I know well enough to ask for it back after I give it to them! Hahaha! I sometimes do that with my mom, but only if it’s an invitation or something I didn’t make enough to leave myself a sample. She doesn’t mind, I swear!

Supplies: Cardstock: Old olive, Georgia Peach DSP, regal rose, pink pirouette, whisper white; Ink: Regal Rose; Accessories: Sticky cuts star, green fine glitter, fire pink square rhinestone brads, dimensionals, saffron poly twill ribbon.

Owls were really popular recently, and some would argue they still are. Having seen so many owls from different stamp companies however, I’m afraid I’m kinda over it before I had a chance to actually jump on the bandwagon. The owl in Love Owl-ways from the new Mini Catalog is an exception for me though; He’s just too cute!
