More Cosy Critters

Hello, Crafters.

I'm sorry that occasionally you receive a blank post from me - twice this week! 

This happens because I enter the title and press enter, and then enter again.

Unfortunately by doing that the cursor moves across to Publish! 

I wish Blogger would change this - it'd be easier than me remembering not to do it! LOL!!

Anyway, I'm off to the Gingham Goose Craft Market at the Hayes Village Hall shortly - full details below in yesterday's post.

Yesterday I used the Cosy Critters Stamp Set for today's card. 

I started wikh a card base of Very Vanilla Cardstock (CS) then a layer of Basic Grey CS and a top layer of a snowflake design from This Chistmas Specialty Designer Series Paper (DSP).

I stamped two owls on Very Vanilla  CS using Basic Grey Archival Ink and punched them out using the Owl Builder Punch.

I stamped the owls again, once in Cherry Cobbler Ink and once in Garden Green Ink.

I fussy cut both scarves and adhered to the owls using Tombow.

I dry embossed a layer of Very Vanilla using the Cable Knit Dynamic Embossing Folder and layered it onto a piece of Basic Grey Cardstock. 

Using my Basic Grey and Garden Green Marker Pens, I painted the branch stamp from the Best Birds Stamp Set. 
 
I tried doing this to the branch in Cosy Critters but it didn't work very well because the branch and leaves are solid images.

I chose the Tis the Season sentiment from last year's Peaceful Pines Stamp Set that has been brought forward. 

I die cut it using the Layering Circle Punches and layered it on a slightly larger scalloped circle I had die cut using a scallop die from the same stamp set. 

I adhered the DSP onto the Basic Grey CS layer using Tombow and wrapped a piece of Cherry Cobbler ribbon around the centre. 

Then I adhered the embossed Vary Vanilla CS and adhered it to the smaller Basic Grey CS layer. 

Then I adhered this to the card front using Tombow. 
 
Using Glue Dots, I adhered the branch to the embossed layer and then I added the the owls using Dimensionals. 

I also added the sentiment using Dimensionals.

Well, I'd better shoot off now, otherwise I'll be late. Some things never change! I hope you have a great weekend.

Until tomorrow, happy crafting.

JanB.

  1. Another cute card! And a novel idea to use the cable knit embossing folder backing for them against the snowflake background too! Like your colours too! and the red ribbon is the perfect touch! TFS
