Thank You Card ~ Birds On A Wire {2nd Post}

I would like to thank Kathi at 613 Avenue Create 

for the cute bird dies I used on today's card.

Kathi sent me a package of goodies for playing along 

with their annual block party in January. Thanks so much.

I fell in love with these sweet bird dies she sent me.

I thought they would make wonderful silhouettes so I cut them in black.

To get the two shades of blue I inked up the sky part of the embossing folder,

ran it through my Cuttlebug then framed it with a blue card stock frame.

To finish off my card I added the die cut sentiment.

Okay I think I need to explain this photo. LOL.

Since it gets dark before I get home I've been trying to 

take my blog photos at school during my afternoon break.

When I was trying to take my photos of this 

card the 4th and 5th graders were out on recess.

The picture above is the only one I got without feet running through it.

I jokingly told the kids their feet were going to be on my blog tonight 

and well that is all it took to get a photo filled with feet. LOL.

Times like these are priceless and remind me why I'm a teacher.

*Card base 4.25 x 5.5 in.
*Birds cut using the Birds On A Wire dies from Spellbinders. {at Simon Says Stamps}
*Sentiment cut using the Scripty Thanks die from Lawn Fawn. {at Simon Says Stamps}
*Embossed using the Cuttlebug Skyward Set cloud folder from Provo Craft.
*Summer Sky stamp pad from Memento.

May your day always be filled with love.

Love/Valentine Card ~ A Heart or Two {2nd Post}

Sometimes a sketch just speaks to me and sets my creative ideas flowing.

This week's Mojo Monday sketch is one of those special ones.

Thank goodness too since my head has been in a head cold fog.

I started by embossing the red metal sheet panel.

Next I stamped the sentiment in the large die cut heart.

To finish my card I die cut a black heart and a 

few metal ones to accent my hand cut banners.

*Card base 4.25 x 5.5 in.
*Sentiment from the No Matter What stamp set from Verve Stamps.
*Large heart cut using the Wavy Hearts die set from Verve Stamps.
*Small hearts cut using the From the Heart die set from Verve Stamps.
*Scarlet Red Metal Sheet from Add a Little Dazzle.
*Embossed using the Cuttlebug Cross My Heart folder from Provo Craft.
*Tuxedo Black stamp pad from Memento.

May your day always be filled with love.
