Treetop Friends Nursery

Inspired by this Treetops Friends nursery set I made this ABC's wall art for my cousin due with her first baby this fall.

Here are some of the details. I was able to find online photos of the suggested decals and art to coordinate with the set and use it for accents inspiration (the mushrooms, apple/orange and bird)

I also tried a more whimsical lettering...not sure yet if that transposes well or if it just looks like I put the letters down crooked :) I also experimented with some patterned paper and texturized some of the letters.

Overall I'm really pleased with how this turned out.
Stamps: Funky Four, Punch Bunch, Tart and Tangy, Cheep Talk

Happy Birthday Owl

This is a birthday card for a friend and my owl punch's first "outing." I wasn't a big fan of the owls when they first start making appearances but it's definitely grown on me.

Happy Easter in violet

The texture is the Manhattan Flower texture folder for the Big Shot.

The sentiment is heat embossed, scallop punch and popped up with dimensionals.

Happy Easter pinwheels

Happy Easter!

My first try at pinwheels! I punched these out using the 1" x 1" square punch. Then I used a small (1/16") hole punch in the center, cut on the diagonals to near the center and folded up alternating corners to the middle. I found a bit of liquid glue help hold it together some so I could get the brad in.


The "grass" at the bottom are the leftover punches from the Blossom Bouquet Triple Punch and the rods are tooth picks. I like the pinwheels but think this card is missing something, I'll have to play around with these some more.

Paper: Baja Breeze and designer series paper
Stamps: Teeny Tiny Wishes
Accessories: White brads, tooth picks, square punch, Blossom Bouquet Triple Punch

Happy Easter in so saffron

A clean and simple Easter card.

The ribbon is adhered using a piece of sticky strip (strong double sided adhesive) and then folded over on itself as it's laid across the card.
The "flower" was popped up with dimensionals on the scallop and the scallop was adhered using glue dots.

With Sympathy - Flowers

I stamped the Crumb Cake paper with a haphazard pattern from the three flowers using Crumb Cake ink. The Baja Breeze and Whisper White center pieces were rounded using the round-corner punch.
I really like the look of the pearl embellishments on the center of this flower. I feel like that's what takes this otherwise simple card and really finishes it.

Nursery ABC's

I made this as a part of my best friend's baby shower gift. Her nursery decor (they aren't finding out the baby's sex) is Noah's Ark. I matched the colors to the bedding and got lucky that I was able to borrow two stamp sets that had multiple animals to correspond to the letters.

I had a lot of fun making this and it only took me an afternoon to conceive it and put it all together. A second one would go much faster since I have a better feel for the layout on a 12 x 12 paper. I used a liquid adhesive on the letters since some parts are too narrow for tape.

This is the nusery suite she picked out:

I tried to photograph it to show some of the dimension. The lighting was hard to get true color.Paper: Whisper White, Old Olive, Bashful Blue, Pumpkin Pie, So Saffron

Circle punches, library clip and button accessories
