Judy Hayes’ Owl Be Home for Christmas:
These little owls are from the Stampendous Owl Be Home Cling Stamps and Dies Set. After stamping and heat embossing with Pearl Champagne Embossing Powder from Frantage Gold Encrusted Jewel Kit on Kraft paper, I die-cut them with the matching dies.
A touch of sparkle is added with Gold Halo Glitter Mix from Frantage Gold Encrusted Jewel Kit and Dual Tip Glue Pen. 3D Foam Squares Black Regular Size adds dimension behind the owl to make it look like it is perched on a branch. Next, I inked the background to look like the night sky and make the stars sparkle with dots of Dual Tip Glue Pen and Gold Halo Glitter Mix. Assemble the cards using E-Z Dots® Permanent Refillable Dispenser.

Happy blog hop everyone! I’m excited to share a 12 x 12″ Halloween layout today using some amazing products from both Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L and Stampendous.
Using the Halloween Hats Stamp and Die set (CLD02) from Stampendous, I paired the sweet pumpkins and the frail looking black cat with Dual Tip Gue Pen, 3D Foam Squares and my favorite E-Z Dots® Permanent Refillable Dispenser to create custom dimensional embellishments for this layout. In addition, I added interest to the edges of my page I sewed a messy stitched around it. With E-Z Dots® Permanent Refillable Dispenser, mat photos and place diagonally with the middle picture popped up with 3D Foam Squares. To finish, add journaling, sequins and cute fall buttons. Here’s a close-up of the layout.

By Katy Kauffman September 18, 2017 - 11:50 am
I love the holiday season and making cards for it creates even more joy. Thank you for this giveaway, and your “owl” sentiment is pretty cute.
By Wenona Rigali September 18, 2017 - 11:54 am
Something along the lines of blessings and Thanksgiving. It is the holiday when my whole family gathers in one place.
By Lana Stadler September 18, 2017 - 11:55 am
Love the projects and love using the dimensional adhesives.
By Wenona Rigali September 18, 2017 - 11:57 am

By Pat September 18, 2017 - 12:21 pm

By Bobbi September 18, 2017 - 12:35 pm
I always forget about pop dots!
By Bobbi September 18, 2017 - 12:38 pm
Design wise, I love snowmen…..I have been on the lookout for a snowman with a partial melting to it, saw it years ago and it had the cutest sayings with the set about saying goodbye, can’t seem to find it again.
By Michele K. Henderson September 18, 2017 - 12:44 pm
These little owls are SO adorable! I would make a fun Halloween card featuring those owls, and make them pop with foam adhesive pop dots, which I love! Thanks fo some fun inspiration!
Take Care!

What a fabulous, creative card and layout. I would love to have the Halloween Hats set and I use lots of the 3D foam squares. Thanks for partnering with Stampendous for a great Hop.
By Nikki September 18, 2017 - 1:14 pm
Great project ideas! Love the scrapbooking concepts!
By Mary Holshouser September 18, 2017 - 2:00 pm
Sometimes I wish I was on Instagram – spend too much time visiting
blogs. I need to make more shaker cards. I’d like to make a
suggestion that a thicker but narrower tape be devised for the
shaker cards (forgive me if someone already has and I just
haven’t seen it) I like for my shaker to have enough room
to really move around. Most tapes are too wide – don’t
want to cut them in half – and most tapes are not very thick.
I want my cake and be able to eat it too. thanks
for partnering with Stampendous. Two of my favorite
companies.

I love this card! I’ve always loved owls so this is right up my alley. The set is on my must have list. The layout is wonderful too. It’s inspiring me to do something similar with my granddaughter. Thanks for the inspiration!
By Diane September 18, 2017 - 2:52 pm
First time I ever commented on a blog – not sure I am doing it correctly but I love the ideas here – really cute projects!
By Suzi September 18, 2017 - 2:54 pm
Love the owl – it’s adorable. If I were to design a holiday stamp – it would be Pelican based, because I live in an area called Pelican Point
By Sabrina Radican September 18, 2017 - 2:57 pm
Cute projects!! Next item I will use on my project would be the 3D Foam Squares Black Regular Size. I already use the white ones.

The Christmas Owl is darling, as is the sentiment!

Sweet owl cards and I like all the buttons and pumpkins on the layout. I would like to try adding sparkle to my projects as on the owl cards.
By InezbyDesign September 18, 2017 - 7:32 pm
If I could design a Christmas stamp, it would be a simple watercolor look. Perhaps a few branches with red berries, or a winterscape with snow and an evergreen.
By InezbyDesign September 18, 2017 - 7:33 pm
I really liked the small squares used in the halloween page. Simple yet effective.
By Julieann September 18, 2017 - 7:53 pm
Love all of the projects. The owl cards are my favorite
By Carolyn September 18, 2017 - 8:12 pm
Love the way Judy used the gold encrusted jewel kit on her holiday card. Latrice’s page has a wonderful use of embellishments. The use of the foam squares on both projects adds so much interest!
By Elaine McDonald September 18, 2017 - 8:34 pm

By Mary Noel-Owens September 18, 2017 - 9:49 pm
I love, love, love those owls! and the pop dots make everything stand out so beautifully! Really cute layouts! thanks for sharing!
By Shari September 18, 2017 - 9:52 pm
Wow.. so difficult to choose just one thing to use. They’re all so useful. If I have to choose, I guess the foam squares, to add extra dimension to anything I make. ???
By carolyn sharkas September 18, 2017 - 9:53 pm
Great projects. Love the owl cards, so sparkly, and the scrapbook layout is adorable. I love 3L products and would love to win some. I use pop dots constantly. Thanks so much for sharing.
By carolyn sharkas September 18, 2017 - 9:55 pm
If I had the chance to design a Christmas Stamp set, I would design one with a religious theme because, it is, after all, the reason for the season. Thanks for sharing.
By Super Stick Chick September 18, 2017 - 10:03 pm
Fabulous projects. I love the foam squares. I use them all the time as the are the prefect size and thickness.
By Super Stick Chick September 18, 2017 - 10:06 pm
I would design a stamp set with clever sentiments that go with common winter or holiday images.
By Christine Kosmak September 18, 2017 - 10:34 pm
Bugger! I was going to comment answering the questions but I then noticed US entries only!!!
By Cathy Lillie September 19, 2017 - 12:41 am
I love the die-cut owls. I wouldn’t have thought to emboss them, but what a cute idea! I had no idea they had black foam squares.
By Sandra Gibbs September 19, 2017 - 1:24 am

By Bunny September 19, 2017 - 7:23 am

By Becca Yahrling September 19, 2017 - 2:43 pm
If I was to design a stamp, it would be a wreath for all seasons because I simply love wreaths and like to hang a different one for each season.
By Becca Yahrling September 19, 2017 - 2:45 pm
I love the squares with an image and that is the technique I want to try on the card I make today.
By Dorina D September 19, 2017 - 3:20 pm
Love how fun that layout it with the adorable pictures. However, the card is fabulous with that fun technique and can’t wait to try it out. Great job by both Designers.

Beautiful cards and layout! I really love those cute owls!
I’d love to add some textures using the Encrusted Jewel Kit!
By Beth Williams September 19, 2017 - 11:07 pm
I love how Judy used the dual tip glue pen and gold halo glitter to make stars. I am actually working on a project where that technique will be perfect.
By Janis in ID September 20, 2017 - 4:16 am
Love the wonderful owl card and the sweet LO. I love the look of the Frantage technique. I have supplies for it, but don’t play with them nearly as often as I would like. Thank you for the reminder to try that again.

Love the 3 D aspect of cards. This is what I will be using for my Holiday cards.
By Teresa Godines September 20, 2017 - 1:54 pm
I love the owl cards and have already pinned them. I like the color design and how the dark background scene is brightened by the owls popping off the card. So Yes… the owls are some inspiration I plan on using
By Robin spencer September 20, 2017 - 5:52 pm
Love the cards and layout. Of course love the products used also. Keep up the great work.

By Tracey Magner September 21, 2017 - 8:54 am
Judy, you cards are just STUNNING !! The scrapbook layout just had me giggling and smiling, who would not, it was so cute and sweet. They used the EZ dots which is another one of my favorite products that I love and use from you. Thanks.
By jade santoro September 21, 2017 - 2:44 pm
I love your little owls and what you did with them. The navy against kraft cardstock looks amazing and the glimmer puts it over the top. The Halloween page is cute as well, but I love Christmas.
By jade santoro September 21, 2017 - 2:48 pm
I haven’t tried halo glitter mix yet, so would like to try that with a glue pen
By Rosann Barnes September 22, 2017 - 2:07 am
I so love Judy’s cards , that color combo is so awesome ! I think I need that glitter pen 🙂
By Lori Ritchie September 22, 2017 - 12:57 pm
Beautiful card, I volunteer for a wildlife rehabilitation centre and this would be a perfect card to donate as a fundraiser for them! Always looking for wildlife stamps so a beautiful Christmas stamp with wildlife would be great! Something other than deer!
By erin elizabeth September 22, 2017 - 2:44 pm
I would love to create Halloween stamp! It’s my favorite holiday! Vintage and spooky 🙂
