Who Can, Toucan



I need thank you cards! I wanna play with my May Love From Lizi kit. The toucan die is so fun!
OK maybe things went a little crazy from there.

 The first two were very similar. Basically just changed the birds coloring a bit.

I stacked the Tim Holtz thank you die with two white cuts out behind the blue topper and used Neenah Solar white 120lb card stock as a base but the rest is all Love from Lizi.

I put the bird together on white card stock and fussy cut a close white border. I like the look and added dimension. The paper comes from the May kit.

The patterned paper is two sided - it is the same paper. And they are outlined with mirror gold peel offs.

I got a little focused on making the birds.

The next few it replaced the tail fillers with glossy ebony black Nuvo crystal drops.

Using the last of the paper.


and then - I played some more.


I think the last one (shaker) ended up as my favorite.

OK - I missed the last TWO! of these so I am taking no chances on what looks like another busy work week. SO here is my entry for Miracle on 34th Street. I know this line is not in the movie (and that the little girls name is Susan in the movie) but this is what I always think of when I watch this movie. The reference "Yes Virginia There is a Santa Claus comes from a child writing to the Sun Newpaper and the editor answering with the spirit of the season. The card uses Bazzil Paper and Ribbon I forget the patterned paper brand. The Santa stamp is from Oriental Trading and the Letters are Studio G wooden letters. This is colored in with a combination of Tim Holtz inks (with the SU blender pen), Koh-i-nor pencils with mineral spirits and liquid applique. Brads, floss and a decorative eyelet round it out.
