Cards to Share and Upcoming Hop Announcement

Good morning, crafty friends! I hope you all had a great weekend. My life has still be crazy lately and haven't had much time for crafting but I did finally make a couple of cards to share with you. I would also like to announce that this Friday is my Hooo's Ready For Spring Blog Hop! I do these owl themed hops every three months and they are always full of beautiful projects and inspiration. My friends are so talented. We would love it if you'd come hop along with us! Are you ready to see my cards? Here's the first one...

For this card, I started with brown card stock for the base. I then added a layer of blue card stock. The next layer is a piece of patterned paper. I then added a few pieces of washi tape to the side. The sentiment was stamped and the owl is also a stamp that I fussy cut and colored with Copic markers. I pop dotted the owl for a little dimension. That's it..a quick and easy card. On to the next card.

For this card, I started with kraft card stock. I added a few layers of patterned papers and I rounded all of the corners. The owls are a stamp by Unity and I colored in the image with Copic markers. The sentiment stamp is by K. Andrew Designs. I added a few orange gems and some twine on the side. That's all..another quick and easy card. 

I hope you like my cards today! Thank you so much for stopping by. I appreciate each and every one of you! Please be sure to come by on Friday for my owl hop! Have a great week!

Hugs,

Heather Lynn

For my simple but pretty card, I started with a piece of kraft cardstock and added a layer of red cardstock on with pop dots.

Next, I stamped the saying and small bird stamp right on to the red cardstock. I then added some black twine and some black pearls for the finishing touches. That's it..easy peasy!

Toilet Paper Roll Owls-Kids Craft

Good morning, crafty friends! I am so sorry I have not been posting lately. My life has been kind of turned up side down and I haven't been able to do any crafting at all. Today I want to share an easy kids craft to do with your kiddos or grandchildren. All you need is toilet paper rolls and markers. You push down the top to make the owl's ears and let them draw on them. Here are some examples that my lil' ones have made for me.

Please excuse the fuzzy picture, I took it with my phone because my camera is not here. Aren't they cute? I love to reuse/upcycle to do my part to save the earth and this is a fun little project.

Thank you so much for stopping by my blog! I hope you have a great day!

Hugs,
HL

Owl Be There

Good morning, friends! How's everybody doing? I hope you all are having a great week so far! I just wanted to come by and share a card I made over at Jessica's last week. I haven't had much time for crafting lately but I did finally get my craft room cleaned up last night. Now, I am hoping to be able to make some things now that I have a spot cleaned to actually work! lol I have out grown my craft room. AGAIN. lol Each time I move to a bigger space and then I just fill it up. I need to get to work and start using my stuff! :) So here's my little card...

I made this card for a very special friend. I don't know all of the products since I used Jesssica's supplies. I know the cardstock was by Core'dinations and the twine is by The Twinery. The stamps are by K. Andrew Design and the fabric covered button was made by us at Pinque Peacock. Very simple design with the washi tape. Have I mentioned I LOVE washi tape? I love washi tape!!!

Thank you so much for stopping by! I hope you have a lovely day!

Hugs,
Heather Lynn

Thank You-Our Kreative Karma

Happy Tuesday, friends! Hope your week is going well so far! Oh, how I have missed blogging! I am so happy to be back after a whole lot of sickness at my house. Today is my day to post over at Our Kreative Karma blog. I hope you will go by and follow our new blog so you can keep up with all of the fun and creative projects that our design team makes to share! Today, I have a quick and easy card to show you. Here it is..

This card only took me maybe 10 minutes. I started with a red card base and then added a piece of designer paper that I (cut down and) loved by Webster's Pages. I added a couple of strips of washi tape and a stamped sentiment on pop squares. I then found a button made by us at Pinque Peacock that matched perfectly. The last step was the black twine. That's it! How easy, right?

Thank you so much for stopping by to visit today! I hope you will come back again soon!

Hugs,

Heather Lynn
