We interrupt this blog post for a special announcement…. Now back to our regular scheduled program 🙂 If you like Christmas cards with traditional colors, cute tiny characters and a bold sentiment, then I think you’ll like the card I’m sharing today. My card features some of the oh so adorable images from the North Pole Littles stamp set. I have arranged them on my card amongst die cut letters that spell out Ho Ho Ho for a big bold statement.

Hi there Hello Bluebird friends! Leanne here and I’m sharing a fun Fall thank you card featuring an adorable image from the Pumpkin Patch stamp set. I fell in love with the sweet image of the little boy and girl holding a giant pumpkin. I wanted this image to be centered inside a fall wreath but also on the inside of the card. I started by creating a wreath. I stamped all the little leaves and acorns from the Pumpkin Patch set in a circle. I colored all the images with Copic markers. I then fussy cut around the outside...

Hi there friends! Leanne here with you today. I’m sharing three cards spotlighting the Merry Greeters stamp set.

I then used a circle and an oval die...

Hi everyone! Leanne here with you on this fine Monday. I’m still loving all of the Autumn cuteness from the August release and decided to play around with the acorn and leaf dies from the Gallery Frame die #3 stand alone set. I picked out some card stock in fall colors and before die cutting, I splattered the card stock with black and white paint. I die cut multiples of each leaf and acorn then lightly inked the edges. I arranged the leaves and acorns randomly on a piece of white wood grain embossed card stock. I thought this...

Hi there Hello Bluebirds fans! Leanne here today to share a card I made featuring some of the absolutely adorable images from the new Moose and Friends stamp set. This set is just jam packed with critter cuteness for creating all kinds of celebratory cards. I picked out the two skunks to be the focal points of this fun birthday scene. I colored all the images with Copic markers and added some highlight details with a white gel pen. There are a few layers to help frame and build this scene so I’ll walk you though each one. I...
