Christmas Bluejays

Hi! Welcome back to my blog....I was super unpriced by the January Peace On Earth Christmas Challenge #32. I was planning on making bluejays, but then I couldn't find the right pre-made flowers...So the Bluejays turned a bit teal...LOL

Here is my interpretation of the snowbirds. I was inspired by the photo and also from Heartfelt Creations. I used lots of old papers from Lawn Gawn, Impression Obsession die cuts. The bluejays are actually cardinals from Heartfelt Creations. I was looking everywhere yesterday for them!...Meanwhile I did clean up some items and drawers that needed to be done. 

A side view...so far it is blank inside...Im sure I will find a home for this card next year. The chipboard branches I found in the Donna Salazar section in my scrap room. I added snow to them....Also the base is from Divinity Designs. I love that it is so easy to just die cut and it is perfect. 

A closer view...lots of Prima flowers..and layers. It is hard to see here but I also embossed snow with a stencil and heat embossed the white background behind the birds.

Thanks so much fo stopping by today!

Have a great Monday

Hocus Pocus Spellbook

Hi! Today I am sharing a cute little spellbook inspired by the upcoming Hocus Pocus 2 movie. It is not the Boooooook! I already made one of those and will upload it on Hocus Pocus 2 release day. I really have been having a blast making spooky books using Elizabeth Craft Designs book box.You can put candy or other gifts inside and it doesn't have to be just for Halloween either. So many ideas for other holidays throughout the year. 

Here is a side profile....I used my hot glue gun, and I also used paper towels ripped up, glued down, and painted it with black paint. The silver paint is from Nuvo in a pewter color. 

I also used spellbinders for the foam frame, also more foam for the Cheery Lynn Designs eyeball frame. The eye does move around too....not on its own though. LOL I also used some stickers in my stash. The sentiment was printed out, die cut out, inked the edges and glued down.

I have some candy upstairs, but I just placed the hands inside the book....

Thanks for stopping by today! 

Have a great day!

Autumn Greetings

Good Morning! Im sharing a new card that was inspired by this week's Color Throwdown #613. I was so excited to be randomly picked to be a guest for this week's colors. The colors, Red, Orange and Purple made me think of autumn and its rich vibrant colors. 

Lots of layering of flowers, leaves and the cute pumpkins in the center. 

A little closer view....

This week's colors! Thanks so much! 

Have a great day!

Sending Hugs

Hi! Hope everyone is staying well. Im sharing today a new card for this week's Color Throwdown #589. I love the color red so this is right up my alley. I wanted to make a clean and simple card because I rarely make those and using the die cuts made this card fast and easy. 

I added some bling and ribbon....

The sentiment is from scrapbook.com....The stamp set Cards for Kindness.

The color inspiration....

Thanks for stopping by and stay well

Happy Birthday

Hello again! I hope everyone is having a nice Sunday. Today, Im sharing with you a new card inspired by Mojo Monday sketch. I just love all the layers for this week's sketch. I decided to use papers and flowers from Prima. 

I meant to show more of the beautiful papers but i also got caught up with the flowers and flourish. LOL 

A closer look....and the sentiment is from Verve...

The beautiful sketch!

So Sorry for Your Loss

Hi, Today I'm sharing a sympathy card for one of my colleagues who recently lost their father. I personally understand because it was a difficult time for me when I lost my father. I guess losing anyone in your life is not an easy time. 

I kept the colors earthy with browns and greens. The flowers are from recollections and Prima. The leaves are from Sue Wilson and as I mentioned before it is one of my favorites now. I think because of the Mosaic look but also because of the size. Perfect for cards.

I added a little bit of bling pearls for an extra touch. I didn't use pattered paper. I used a woodgrain embossing folder instead. Hope she likes it. 

Thanks for stopping by again.

Have a great day! 

Hugs Lisa 

Summertime Thank you

Hi, well today Im back to sharing a new summertime thank you card. I love this beach color teal with yellows and of course whites. Did I mention how I LOVE these leaves fromSue Wilson. OMG I just can't stop using them. 

The flowers are from a local scrapbooking rummage sale that I still have lots of flowers left. I think it was over 4 years ago? Unfortunately, the store closed down....so no more stocking up stash like the old days. Sigh. Some of the other flowers are from Micheals dollar section. I was there recently and didn't see the isle? Perhaps, it's gone? Another sigh....

I added some swirls from Impassion Obsession. and the center round circle with flowery yellow background is from Spellbinders. It was part of their April kit and they had leftovers at my local convention. So naturally, I had to pick it up. LOL

The teal background I embossed with an Anna Griffin folder. I knew it would be a busy card and no need for patterned paper. 

Thanks for stopping by today!

Sweet Baby Girl

Hello! Gosh I know it has been a while since my last post. Honestly, I have been creating but for future posts with Dies R Us. Be sure to come back for my posts coming up soon. Thanks! Meanwhile I have been wanting to make a card for a colleague who is having her first baby. Yep a baby girl! She loves giraffes and so hopefully she enjoys this adorable pink giraffe with pearl eyes. 

The die cut of the giraffe is from Cheery Lynn Designs. It actually has a much longer neck. However it wouldn't fit in the center of the oval....so I modified it to fit. Oh My Goodness do I love these new leaves that I recently purchased from Creative Expressions. The oval is from Spellbinders and the banner is from Cheery Lynn Designs too. The adorable small sentiment is from Verve.

The flowers are from my old stash. I added some pearls to the top and bottom edges. 

Thanks for stopping by today! 

Hope you enjoyed!
