I know the calendar says it's February 23; It's Winter right?  But today in Atlanta, it was such a beautiful Spring like day (76 degrees and sunny)!  So, the inspiration for my card is the beautiful weather we're having.

I combined  two challenges over on SplitcoastStampers for this card.  First, Ways to Use It Challenge ~ Buttons (WT363) and second, the Clean and Simple Challenge ~ Stitching (CAS158).

Baby, It's Cold Outside

Thanks for stopping by.  Today I have a quick card for the Ways to Use challenge over at SplitcoastStampers.  The theme for today's challenge is Baby, It's Cold Outside.  Can you believe I even had a stamp with that very sentiment from A Muse?  I purchased this stamp before A Muse became a catalog company. 

The card size is a 3 x 6.  They fit nicely in the small office size envelopes.

Fun with Felt

Hi Friends,

Today's Ways to Use it challenge on SplitcoastStamper's is a FELT challenge. I've always loved felt and these days it's so easy to diecut a cute shape and use it on a card, scrapbook page or even a tag! Today, I'm having fun with tags.

My bird tag is spritzed with walnut ink. I misted the doily with Tattered Angles Glimmer Mist. You really can't tell in this picture.

For the birthday tag, I diecut chipboard leaves and painted them with Tim Holtz Distress Crackle Paint. This was the first time I opened my crackle paint, how sad. I really need to play with this paint more. I love the texture.

As I was cleaning up my work table, I found this pink felt rolled rose I made last week. I just had to make one more tag. The diecut used is from My Favorite Things.

Supplies:
Stamps: Bird~Inkadinkado and Happy Birthday~Stampabilites
Paper: Kraft (Archivers) and a standard Shipping Tag
Ink: Memento Rich Cocoa
Accessories: Stamp Positioner, Tattered Angles Glimmer Mist (Patina & Old Lace), Lace, Tulle, Buttons, Felt, Dew Drops, Doily, Cuttlebug, Pearl Floral Stems and Tim Holtz Shabby Shutters Distress Crackle Paint

Thanks for stopping by,
