Owl Love


Summer is coming to an end and so has out break at
The Crafty Catz Challenge.
So today sees the start of our new challenge.
The theme as always is
Anything Goes.


All the products from this card, except the stencil and sentiment, are from Clarity Stamps. The Owls have been stamped in black and embossed. The leaves and acorns are stamped and cut out. An aperture has been die cut in the centre of a piece of white card and a frame stencil embossed around it. The owls have been die cut and slotted into the aperture and then layered up onto black card and put onto a white 8x8 card base. With the leaves and acorns arranged under the image and the birthday sentiment die cut added. I do love the simplicity of black and white.

I would like to enter this in the following challenges
Crafty Gals Corner - Fall Foliage
Little red wagon - use a stamp
Addicted to stamps - Stamps/stencil
We love stamping - Trees/leaves

Cog Dog


I've been a bit quiet over the summer enjoying our lovely warm weather.
Well I think summer is over as it feels very autumnal already, a bit of a sudden change.

So here's to the new challenge starting today  at



This card was quite a quick make using stencils. The dog is a Sweet Poppy stencil and the background  is cogs and clock from Clarity Stamps. I've used Distress Inks through the stencils. Then a stamped sentiment which has been cut out with a punch. A perfect male card.
