Christmas Wishes

Hi everyone,

Well as you can tell it is that time of year to start the Christmas cards. I need to make quite a few so here is my first this year. I am using a finished card  base that is 5 x 5. The green layer is SU mossy meadow  4.75 x 4.75 and the white layer on top is 4 x 4. I have used a stamp set called oriental Pine. I love the pine needles. I stamped them in mossy meadow ink. I then added the ornament from the set and stamped it with pacific point ink. I then re-stamped it with versa mark and embossed it with wow glitter powder. As usual the photo does not do it justice.  The bow on top of the ornament has  glitter. The sentiment was straight across but it didn't suit my needs so I cut it between the two words. I can put them together as one word if I need to. The pine cones are a spellbinders die. I used kraft card stock to cut them out and used distress inks to darken the edges. They are popped up with dimentional's. I will add my card into this challenge.

House Mouse Holidays

I'm back with a house mouse card this time. They are so adorable, I couldn't resist coloring it. I used the spectrum noir color pencils. It is more vibrant in real life and I am disappointed that  my camera hasn't picked up its beautiful colors. The designer paper is SU from a few years back. The image was printed onto neenah cs. I decided to use a die cut to give the card more interest. I then used a red pen and added dots onto the scallop edging. The ribbon is also SU but it had to have a knot other wise it was just too bulky for the card. I cut the button with the buntings and buttons die in the star shape for the top of the tree. I distressed the star with cherry cobbler SU ink. The sentiment is from the Just Rite stamp set Noel Christmas Ornaments. It is a beautiful set. I used the SU modern label punch and the word punch to use with the sentiment. It is just glued on. I took a liner and outlined the reindeer eye. I added the black and the white twinkle so he looked more awake. I couldn't find my red or green twine so I used blue to make the bows for the reindeer neck and the mouse in the basket. I used a half inch corner punch on the designer series paper.  I hope you enjoyed seeing my card, and feel like leaving me a comment.

I will enter this card into these challenges.

Heart Cupcake

Hi everyone,

We are starting a new challenge this week at 613 Ave Create. Our sponsor is Meljen's Designs. I am using this cute cupcake that I printed onto neenah cs. I coloured the image with prismacolor pencils and gamsol. I added some white highlights and added wink of stella pen to add a bit of glitter. I then added twine around the bottom and tied a bow. I added a few sequins and then a small corner from kwik kuts die. The base of the cs is recollections kraft. I then took a 5.25 x 4. neenah white cs and used my big shot with a cuttlebug embossing folder called beep beep 1. I used SU kraft and inked the flat side of the folder and then added my paper and put it through the cuttlebug. I love the effect it gives. The chevron arrow stamps are from CTMH. I inked them up with SU pretty in pink and then used the prismacolor pencil to match the cupcake frosting. I then fussy cut them out. The sentiment was inked with black ink and the stamp set is from a  SU set called happy moments.  The subway art is from NicksPosts free printable.

The inside of the card is layered with neenah cs. I also used the happy moments stamp set and added the decoration in the set to top and bottom. I stamped it with SU pretty in pink ink.  I punched the balloons using MS balloon punch. I added a bit of white pencil for the highlight on the balloons. I drew bows and ribbon strings. I made a bit of a mess at the bottom of the strings so I stamped another chevron arrow and then fussy cut it and centered it over the mistake. I then added a bit more twine and made a bow. I added a bit of wink of stella on the strings.I hope you have enjoyed and got inspired.

Hi everyone,

We have a new challenge starting at The Fairy's Challenge today. Our sponsor is Stitchy Bear Designs. I am using this cute stork that I printed onto neenah cs and colored it with copic markers. R7,9, B12,14, N2,4,6, YR21,24, W1,3. I then used the SU note die and the bigshot to cut around the image. I cute the outside trim off and didn't like it so I used my finger and distressed around the edge. I then added kraft ink to the edges. I used some orange twine wrapped around the bottom of the image and tied a bow. I had an orange button that I thought looked great and then added a small sticker over the holes. The silver sequins just filled in that little something I thought it needed. The card base is neenah cs and the DSP is DCWV. The happy birthday is computer generated with a drop shadow added to it.

Peace Love and Flower Power

Hi everyone,

We had snow last night and its still snowing here. A great day to stay in doors and create cards in my craft studio. I made this card with Lacy Sunshine image Eleanor hippie. She is so cute in her hippie outfit.  The card base is Recollections Kraft cut and folded in half. I added a border that I sprayed with a stencil I cut with my cricut. I used my MS border edge star punch on the bottom of the strip. I cut a small strip off the so I could also add it to the top of the image. The designer series paper is from American crafts Lucky Charms paper pad. I really like that pad and I only have a few papers left of it. I printed the image onto neenah cs and colored it with copic markers. E00,000,21,13,15,18, R7,9, Y2123, B12,14,26. It was then cut our with die cut frames 2. The flowers were cut with recollections small flower punch. I colored 3 small pearls and added them to the center. The small tag at the bottom of the page is a quick cuts tag that I cut using my big shot. I added flower charm and blue twine and made a bow. The stars that were left from the border punch were added randomly to the tag. The sentiment is from a Christmas stamp set from Just Rite noel ornaments. It just seemed to be the best sentiment I had to go along with the theme. I will add the card to these challenges.

Baby Swing Card

Hi everyone,

It feels like forever since I have posted anything. I know it isn't but I can remedy that right now. Our challenge at the Fairy's blog this week is baby using faux or real stitching. I have wanted to use this cut file for a bit now so here it is. The file is a swing card from the MTC gallery. It is so easy and fun. I cut one in solid and one in DSP. I cut the ends off the DSP and added it over the solid. It didn't quite work the way I wanted so I cut 1/4" off of all the ends. Our sponsor is Bugaboo. The baby is colored with copic markers. E21,00,000,31, BG10,13,N0,2, Y 13 R20,81,83. I traced a circle around the image and cut it out. The background is a stamp sets by SU. Hello baby is also SU teeny tiny wishes, Itty bitty backgrounds are the small little specks are behind the baby, SU best yet baby saying is on the inside. The last two are old sets but goodies. The cute dragon fly was punched from sticker paper and MS glitter was put over the sticky. I added 4 of the BG buttons on each corner with little twine bows. Thank you all so much for stopping by, happy creating!
