Etsy Inspired #107--9.25.10

  
  Happy Saturday all!! It's post day for Etsy Inspired and this week's shop is a really fun one to find inspiration in!  makes rustic and charming paper clay folk sculptures, which means no molds are involved at all, everything is sculpted by hand! Here's a sampling of something of the products that you'll find in this shop.



  Aren't these sculptured pieces super creative and fun? She even can make personalized pieces like your own pet dog!! 

So, since I am in a total holiday crafting mood, I decided to take two Christmas pieces and create cards for them using Basic Grey's new holiday line, "Jovial. Here's the pieces that I was inspired by this week.

I just love these two snowmen friends! I think they're perfect for the 
holiday season! I decided to use the snowman stickers that are part of the collection 
then paper piece those cute little legs!

"Tis Better to Give" Card

For this piece I was inspired by the circles that are impressed into the clay. I decided to punch out circles and layer some on top of others to create an overlapping effect.

"Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas"

  5. That wreath is just plain magic ... just might have to "borrow" that idea for some scrappy holiday cards ... and those wonky snowman eyes crack me up (how I feel most mornings) ... fantastic inspired designs.

  6. Those snowmen are adorable and I love the sentiment you added to that card. Your wreath card is beautiful and I love the idea of using a variety of circles/papers to create a wreath. Thanks for the inspiration!
