Thanks card using Tim Holtz products. I used the Tim Holtz Holiday Greens, mini, die set to make my pine bough. I coated them in versa mark ink and clear heat embossed them.  I added a Thank you sentiment from the Tim Holtz Bird talk stamp, die and embossing folder set.  I used the embossing folder on the white background piece. I added a pretty bow from American Crafts and then added a few clear sequins around on the boughs.

These Owl treat bag toppers were so fun to make. I made them for my nieces woodland animal themed baby shower.  I also made acorn shaped cookies to put in them for the shower favor.  She is having twins, a girl and a boy so I thought it would be cute to make some with a mustache for the boy and then some with a bow for the girl.

I used a combination of pieces from my Sizzix owl die and fox die to make the features of the owls and I used my vine Mini 8 punch to cut the base for the owl which I folded over the top of the cellophane bags. I also tried making some mini diaper cakes also but I didn’t get a good picture of them.  The shower turned out very nice.

Another entry into the Hero arts holiday card challenge.  I used the same Owl Christmas stamp set and I also used the Holly Flourish background stamp which I heat embossed using clear powder. It gives it a nice tone on tone look. I used my copic markers to color the owls and then fussy cut them and raised them up on dimensional stickers. Some red sequins in the corner mimic the Holly berries.

My second card for the Hero Arts Holiday cards entry.  I used the Owl Christmas stamp set, it’s an older set but Owls are still the in thing.  I also stamped the background with some of the snowflakes included in the set and then embossed them with silver embossing powder.  The pink hills are from the stitched hillside pop up die from Lawn Fawn.  I love that I can trim off the pop up tabs and use them as regular hillsides.  I love doing Christmas cards in nontraditional Christmas colors.  I framed it all with stitched rectangles from Avery Elle.

This is my first card for the Hero Arts Holiday card series.  You must use a Hero Arts die or stamp set on your cards and I only have two stamp sets so it might be a little tricky getting some variety but I shall try. This card uses the layering bird and branch stamp set. I stamped a mountain background scene behind my new Tree Branch circle die from Memory box.  Then I stamped and fussy cut out the layered bird on top of some bough branches from my Tim Holtz Holiday greens die cut set from Sizzix.  I mounted it all on top of some plaid paper and added some enamel dots.

So I’m doing the invitations and decorations for my nieces’ baby shower and she wanted a woodland animal theme for her twin baby boy and girl baby shower.  I decided to use this Sizzix fox fold a long die I had to make them.  I typed up the shower info and then printed it out and use the single fox die to cut it out and adhere to the inside of the invitation.  I would have liked to embellish them more , but for mailing purposes I decided not to add any bulky embellishments. I used three different colors.  I plan on using the fox die along with an owl and squirrel to make a banner and shower decorations.  I will post those after I get them done but first things first, got to get the invitations in the mail.
