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.
