All about Books…

 A birthday card for a dear friend….

I just loved the All About Autumn paper, that sold out too quickly 😢

I used these two background snippets to create a cozy office look..

I then used snippets of card, cream and metallic, to make the topper.

It’s meant to represent a desk, with the books and lamp.

Then, because he’s a dog lover, how did I incorporate a Labrador?…..

Eventually I fussy cut a tiny silhouette stamp, as an ornament!

I used lots of snippets, so I can play in the Snippets Playground challenge #470 😃,

the theme there is Anything BUT Christmas…..there’s No Christmas here!

Have a great day

Snuggle up….

 I was sad that these gorgeous papers sold out so quickly, 

but grateful that I got a pack that has given me so much fun.

This sheet reminds me of a snuggly jumper…..

……So I used a snippet to stamp a scarf for my cute owl, 

which was stamped on a snippet of white and coloured with blend pens.

The blue strip was the reverse side of another snippet from the same sheet,

And the borders and sentiment were from more snippets of white.

I added 3 enamel dots……see if you can find them!

For a bit more fun, I’m skipping over to the Snippets Playground challenge,

to see if Sarn has anything in her satchel…..

Have a great day

Nuts about Squirrels

 Some old, some new….Autumn leaves, (new), Nuts about Squirrels and Autumn Bouquet (both retired).

The squirrels get everywhere….😃

These are grey squirrels, of which there are many in and around my garden.

Love the detailed die background

He even pops up on a Christmas card…

Love the lush velvet effect paper, looks so snuggly…

Some red ones….A simple diorama card, the squirrels in their hideout. 

As often happens, didn’t turn out quite as planned and Ooops, placed the sentiment too high 🙄

Have a fun Sunday

Autumn Leaves with tips and tricks

 I’m loving the Autumn Leaves die set from Stampin’ Up!, and the papers.

First up some pumpkin paper, and leaf veins used as twigs.

The mottled look is from a juicy ink pad, which in this case I like.

Squirrel is a two step, but I eventually found it easier to do the inner before the outline.

Rough the end of jute ribbon, and pull out strands….makes a lovely texture detail.

Good for using up snippets of ribbon.

Cased this one from the catalogue……always useful for 💡 ideas.

Another paper from All About Autumn….lush

Use metallic enamel effects to paint with! Used here on the veins.

That squirrel gets everywhere….

These are the dies…

I’m taking these over to

Pixies Snippets Playground, snippets of jute and various card scraps for leaves.
