March Cardmaking - decorative paper, fun tags and a bit of embossing


For our second card I designed this one which features the tag I cut out of the first card which you can find here.   We used scissors or corner rounders to trim the corners of our tags, coloured our images if they needed it and then added a folded length of ribbon using a coordinating tiny brad.  I used watercolour and chalk on my tags. We adhered our decorative paper (4" x 5.25") to a coordinating card front, embossed our strip of cardstock and then mounted it over the paper,  trimming it to fit.  We mounted our tags with images to the front of our cards using 3D foam tape overlapping the embossed strips. To finish off our cards we trimmed our ribbon ends.   The little owl is from Michelle Perkett and the penny farthing is from StampinUP.    It is always fun to add font greetings to images and it gives you the flexibility to have them be for any occasion you prefer.

Owl doodle sticker focal element on my card!!

I recently purchased several colouring books full of doodle art stickers!!!  This one is from the Magical Owl book.  I watercoloured the image and adhered it to a large green label then over a ribbon on a stamped pink card front.  The stickers are very neat and some will be too large for cards but I am looking forward to colouring them and then using them in my card making!!!
I added sparkle gel pen dots on the green label and stamped the pink card front with a handmade dots stamp.  I stamped OWL... on a punched label (SU) with green ink and then added little pink dots with a marker.

Owl Valentine's card with a serendipity background

What a cute little layered felt ow!! My sister gave me six of these cute little owl embellishments.  They had been glued to clothes pins so I simply removed them.  Well, simply might be an understatement - they were pretty well attached and it too some coaxing to them off whole!!  I thought he would work very well with this serendipity background.  He needed a branch so I die cut a tree using the Tim Holtz tree die and trimmed off pieces until I was happy with how the branch looked.  I mounted my background to a navy card, added the black branch then glued my little owl sitting on the branch.  I colour printed the custom greeting "Owl always love you!!" , trimmed the ends and added to my card using a bit of 3D foam tape in the middle and double sided tape on each end.   Love how it turned out!!  It doesn't necessarily have to be used for Valentine's because there are always times when we want to tell our special someone that we really care for them.  Looking forward to coming up with fun designs for the other five!!
