The Craft's Meow January Release Preview Day 3: Happy as a Lark and Lark Additions

If you're here to see my blog post for the Hero Arts Hostess Blog Hop, please click HERE.

Welcome to a Sneak Peak at two of our new January releases at The Craft's Meow!

The Craft's Meow

Today we're showing you 2 new sets designed by Karen Baker.  She calls them Happy as a Lark and Lark Additions.  I love these sets, so I made you 2 cards, a feminine one and a more masculine one.


This first one uses her bird and a sentiment from Happy as a Lark, along with a die-cut birdcage and leaves, and some punched flowers.  The background paper is from pebbles Family Ties.  I also added some gingham ribbon and some aqua pearls.


This one is a bit less fussy, using Karen's big woodgrain stamp and the same bird from Happy as a Lark, with a sentiment from her companion set Lark Additions, which is our free set with a $50.00 purchase.  I also added a subtle embossed bird background.

Please visit The Craft's Meow to see my teamies' takes on these wonderful sets, and leave a comment by 9 PM PST tonight to have a chance to win these new sets!  Then please come back tomorrow for a sneak peak of our last new set of our January release!
