23 FebI had such a fun time with this card. I blew the dust off the ole Cricut and used the Create a Critter cartridge.
I am using all Authentique Papers from the 2 lines called:
I am using the Gel a tins stamps called:
First, I embossed the stamp onto a piece of paper in black.
I adhered it to my card front as shown below.
Next I embossed the Love Knots stamp onto the tree branch and phrase in white.
Then comes the fun part…putting the card together.
A close up of the darling owl! Isn’t it adorable??
To keep the card closed, I used a homemade repositionable glue dot under the bottom of the owl.

Maybe one of your favorites that I have created is in the store now.

It should(fingers crossed) allow you to take 10% off your purchase. I will keep this coupon active through the end of March so that you can take advantage of anything I post in the store until then.

Gel a tins Animal Magnetism
16 FebThis card is just a fun, innocent card!
I just couldn’t help wanting to make this ANIMAL card, when I started working with this sweet little set.
The set is called:
Pet Shop
What I did was cut all my papers to size first. I took the sheet of stamps and randomly out the whole set(minus the hearts) on one acrylic block.
I then stamped and embossed my background paper and added the hearts back in, in 2 different embossed colors.
Then a made my phrase in PSE and printed it out and put the card altogether.
Here is the inside of the card.
I just love how whimsical this came out.
Have you tried using multiple stamps from a set to create your own unique background paper?
I will be looking carefully at all my sets to see which ones I can use this same technique with.
I hope you have enjoyed my post today!
Head on over to Gel a tins Stamps blog and see what some of the other designers are up to! While you are there let them know Jeannie sent you!
Have a great rest of your week, this has been Jeannie with The Polka Cabana with today’s post.

New Dies From Cheery Lynn Designs **FAINT**
15 FebI have to say, I am so lucky to have the opportunity to play around with the new release of Cheery Lynn Designs dies.
The February 2012 release is a one of a kind idea that you are going to love.
You can get a look at all the new dies here.
For this project I am using the dies that are called REFLECTIONS dies.
I am using all the dies in this set, but I am only using 1/2 of their potential size.
This is a card I made for my hubby yesterday.
I decided I loved the way the dies all looked cut and stacked on top of each other, I would make a card based on many layers.
I took an old song by Bobby Vinton and created this card based on the song.
I have always loved this song and if I were to have a song dedicated to me…this would make it into my top 10, easily!
I have also used some of the cut outs from my Heartland America die,
Heart within My Heart Die, the new Lace Corner Deco B and Optimistic Font dies.
I have been saving these vintage looking Pooh Bear stickers for a special project, and my hubby made the cut!
The card made him smile, so I guess it was a hit? Here is a side view so you can see how beautiful all the layers stack together.
One last look, I just adore this paper I used by Crate Paper.
I only used a handful of the dies that Cherry Lynn Designs has released, so be sure to visit the website to see the complete collection.
Also, stop by our blog to check out the fantastic things the rest of the design team has made with their issues of the new release dies.
Have a great day and thanks for stopping by today!
