Stache' chickies

I need to clean out my blogger "closet". I think I have around 20 drafts sitting in Blogger...eekkk! Ohh my goodness, I have been trying to show all of these cards forever!!! Seriously...FOREVER...I've had today's cards in a blogger draft since May 1st and there's no telling how long they sat before I loaded the pictures in blogger...wow!

 



 

Mustaches are all the rage and I had came across a little package of some cute staches' at Hobby Lobby and just had to have them. Had no clue what to do with them, but I HAD to have them all the same, lol! hey, I'm a lemming and I'm okay with that, lol ;) !

 

 After mulling it over a bit I decided to dress up the Large Chickie...how can you NOT love a stach'd chickie, right???

I added some washi for a background and stamped my panel with a little light grey Curly Border from DeNami before adding the sentiment from the Everyday Greeting set and my cute little mustache stamp (forgot the name of the company). I finished it all off with some yummy polka dot washi and twine/button treatment.

pssst...don't ya just love the DeNami houndstooth background stamp...swoon!!



This little card couldn't be any easier! I stamped the Houndstooth Background, added the punched border panel along with the 2 square ones. A little twine and button treatment and 2 little pieces of bling to finish it all off and balance it out...easy peasy!

That's it for me today. I will see you back here on Friday with a new start to finish card video!! A fun little card using just a couple of stamps (including one of the new garden sets!) :) See ya then!

Even chickies love St. Patty's Day

I have been trying to use my large chickie more and came up with a great idea...why can't he be holding a St. Patty's hat? I just love it!

I think he/she needs a full line on clothing...hint hint ;)

Pretty ornaments

My favorite Christmas decoration would have to be ornaments. All shapes, sizes, colors, glittery, non-glittery...just so many options and each one just so dang adorable!

Rainy Days and Mondays....

If you are still hoppin from yesterday, just scroll down or click here. I know I will be going back through again today - such fun!

Now for today's post....Rainy Days and Mondays - how appropriate don't you think? I had fun making this card - those little chickies just make me smile. I didn't use a sentiment for this card but it could easily be added if you wanted to.






Come a little closer....


I know its hard to see but I used some stickles on the rain drops and crystal lacquer on the umbrellas to give it a little...something extra!


And borrowing an idea from my partner in crime Tina - I did a little something on the inside too...




Stamps used for this card: C75 Chickie with Umbrella, A82 Seeds/Drops, E126 Small Umbrella, E107 Small Scallop Circle, K77 Curly Garland Border (inside)
