Bats Among the Trees

Swooping Bars wing their way through Autumn Trees as they approach the Poppystamps Mini Picket Border.  It's the perfect - and perfectly easy - way to surprise someone this Halloween.

There are so many great new Halloween stamps and dies in this year's Holiday Collection - we're making 8 cards in the Halloween Extras classes at the University Village Impress on Saturday the 29th.  Please call them (206 526.5818) to reserve a seat if you can join us.  Here are two of the cards:

 Thanks for stopping by - I'll have another fall project to share tomorrow.

 

Bright Lavalier Blossom

Dave's designed so many beautiful, intricate circles and flourishes.  Summer is a great time to mix, match and layer them into flowers using the Memory Box 6x6, 12x12 and 8.5x11 prints in your stash. Add a dash of green with a diecut leaf, stem or branch - and you've grown an instant garden of cards ready to send the perfect greeting!

The intricate Lavalier Circle Die 98216 makes another great flower - double-layered over a Pixie print diecut using the Small Scallop Circle 98204.

The clean-lined simplicity of the Lorelai Leaf 839 from Poppystamps balances the detailed blossom with a bright pop of Dill Cardstock.

Thank You Combo B1751 -  stamped onto a Pastry Label 98107 diecut with Very Berry ColorBox Archival Dye Ink from Clearsnap - adds the finishing touch.

Spring Songbird

A glittered diecut songbird perches on a delicate branch to welcome Spring today in Seattle today!  I love how the Poppystamps Nestled Bird 817 works perfectly with the Memory Box Leafy Branch Globe E1850.

The watercolor-y background is simple, quick and always unique.  It's a blend of inks from the Colorbox Playground Multi-Color Inkpad, spritzed with water.  Create a stash of these backgrounds and have them ready for your next Memory Box moment.

Here are 3 of the cards from the next Beyond the Box class, at the Tukwila Impress on April 29th.  We're using our favorite Memory Box stamps, dies and papers and taking them beyond everyday designs with a variety of inking, layering and stamping techniques.
