I Love You This Much!

2012-01-27T18:37:00.000-05:00

I created this non-traditional Valentine card using this adorable Elisabeth Bell Digi called I Love You This Much. I'm entering this card into the guest designer call at the Digi Bells DT challenge blog. I used the sketch from this week's challenge at The Sweet Stop. This week there was an additional spin to using the sketch. The spin was to create a non-traditional Valentine.

I started with a chestnut brown card base. I added a piece of celestial blue card stock cut just a little smaller than the card base. I added a strip of light brown card stock that I backed in chestnut brown card stock. Then I backed a piece of brown dotted paper in chestnut brown card stock. I added both pieces to the card. I added a piece of brown ribbon across the card. I colored the image using crayola and prisma color pencils. I backed the image and the sentiment in chestnut brown card stock. I created a bow out of the brown ribbon and added it beside the image. I added 3 brown pearls to the upper corner, 3 to the light brown strip, and 3 more to the sentiment.

2012-01-25T20:29:00.000-05:00

I created this card as more inspiration for our embossing challenge at 2 Sisters. I used this cute monkey image from Meljens called Monkey Toes.

I started with a kraft base. I embossed a piece of pink card stock using a dot embossing folder. I punched a strip of kraft card stock with an eyelet lace border punch. I added a sheer pink dot ribbon to it and added it across the middle of the card. I colored the image using crayola and prisma color pencils. Then cut the image and sentiment out in a circle, backed them both in pink and then in white. Then cut around them with scalloped scissors. I added a pink dot button and a bow made out of the same sheer dot ribbon. I added a pink rhinestone to the top corners of the punched strip. Then I added mini pink rhinestones to the image and to the sentiment.

2012-01-23T16:37:00.002-05:00

Hi! Today I am sharing with you my second card as a guest designer at Creative Stamp Friends. This week's challenge is to create something that is Old Fashioned or Antique. The image I used is an Elisabeth Bell stamp from Elphine House called Kathy Bride And Little Kitty.

The sketch that I used is from this week's challenge at Deconstructed Sketches. I began with a dusty
rose base. I added pearl day patterned paper. It looks a little darker in this photo than it actually is. It's more of a light cream color. Down the center of the card I added a strip of the pearl day patterned paper that I had backed in dusty rose card stock. I stamped the image onto white card stock and colored it using crayola and prisma color pencils and then backed it in dusty rose card stock and then in the pearl day patterned paper and then again in the dusty rose card stock. I punched the bottom of the dusty rose using an eyelet lace border punch. I stamped the sentiment onto white card stock and then backed it in dusty rose card stock, then in pearl day patterned paper, and then again in dusty rose. I added a rose pearl to both sides of the sentiment and then 3 more on the upper corner of the image.

Tilda Love

2012-01-21T19:54:00.000-05:00

I created this valentine card using Tilda With Bow. The sketch that I used is from this month's CLP challenge.

I started with a red card base. I embossed a piece of white card stock just slightly smaller than the base using a dot embossing folder. I added a small piece of mini heart patterned paper to the middle of the card. I cut two corner pieces out of black using scallop scissors. I cut a strip of red striped paper and added it across the center of the card. To that I added a piece of sheer black ribbon.

I colored the image using crayola and prisma colored pencils. I cut it out in a rectangle and backed it in red card stock and then again in black card stock. I added it at an angle in the middle of the card.

I added the love sentiment cut out of a piece of patterned valentine sentiment paper. I made a bow out of the same black sheer ribbon and added it along with a double heart charm and some white paper mini rose buds. I then added 3 berry red pearls to the upper corner.

Curtsy

2012-01-14T17:21:00.000-05:00

I wanted to show you this easel birthday card that I created today using Curtsy from Sugar Nellie. I actually forgot about this stamp. I was digging through a pile of stamps just looking for that perfect stamp to use when I came across this little cutie. So of course I needed to ink her up and here's what I came up with . . . . . .

The sketch is from this week's challenge at The Sugar Bowl. I decided to go with a red and white theme. I colored the image using crayola and prisma color pencils. Then cut the image out in an oval, backed it in red card stock and cut around it with scallop scissors.

The embossing is done using a cuttlebug dot embossing folder. I punched the monarch butterflies out of red card stock. I added 3 white pearls to the center of each one and then added garnet red glitter glue to the wings.

Thanks

2012-01-09T16:20:00.000-05:00

Here is a thank you card I created using Tilda Picking Lilacs from Magnolia Stamps.

I started with a dove flower card base. I added a piece of white card stock that I embossed using a cuttlebug dots embossing folder. I cut a piece of light orchid ribbon and added it to the center of the embossed card stock. I colored the image using crayola and prisma color pencils. I cut the image out in an oval, backed it in wisteria card stock and then cut it out using scallop scissors. I created a bow using the same light orchid ribbon and added it to the upper corner of the image. To the opposite bottom corner I added 3 purple paper daisies and some leaves I punched out of sage green cardstock. I added purple pearls to the center of each flower. I stamped the thanks sentiment directly onto the card. Then I punched 2 monarch butterflies, one out of sage green and the other out of dove flower. To the dove flower butterfly I added 3 light blue pearls and to the sage green I added 3 light green pearls.

Winter

2012-01-09T07:00:00.063-05:00

Today I get to share with you my very first card as guest designer at Creative Stamp Friends. I am so excited as I will be a guest designer for the months of January, February and March!!! How cool is that!! So this week the challenge theme is WINTER. The image I used, Christmas Bunny, is from Wee Stamps.

I started with a white card base. To it I added layers of light blue and white card stock. The embossing is done by using a cuttlebug snowflake embossing folder. I colored the image using crayola and prisma color pencils. I punched snowflakes out of white card stock and mini snowflakes out of light blue card stock. To get the finished look of each snowflake I layered a light blue snowflake on top of a white snowflake. I added crystal stickles and a white pearl to the center. I also added crystal stickles to all the white card stock (except the embossed piece), and to the snow on the image. I added carrara marble glitter glue to the fur on the hat. I finished the card by adding 3 white pearls to the upper corner.

The glitter that I added to the hat was part of the Martha Stewart glitter glue set that my kiddos got me as a Christmas gift. This was the first time that I have used this brand of glitter glue and I LOVE IT! I can't wait to use it again. LOL.

THINGS WITH WINGS

The image I used is called SYMPATHY. I started with a sage green card base. I added a piece of light blue card stock backed in white card stock. Then I added a strip of striped card stock with a piece of white punched card stock added to the bottom. I added that across the middle.

I colored the image using crayola and prisma color pencils. I cut it out in an oval and added it to sage green card stock. Then again to white card stock. I cut around it using scallop scissors. I added the image to the center of the card. I layered four paper flowers on top of each other (white, gray, blue and pink) and added a white pearl to the center.

The base of my card is silver card stock. I added a piece of dove flower card stock just slightly smaller than the base. I cut a piece of soft lilac card stock and backed it in silver card stock. I stamped the sentiment onto the bottom of the lilac card stock. I colored the image using crayola and prisma color pencils. I backed the image in silver card stock. I punched a snowflake out of white card stock and added it to the bottom corner of the image and then punched a smaller snowflake out of silver card stock and added it to the center of the white snowflake. I added silver stickles to all the silver card stock including the small snowflake and crystal stickles to the larger snowflake and to the image. I added a light blue rinestone to the center of the snowflakes and 3 more to the upper corner of the lilac card stock.

I decided to take a break from Christmas cards and make an anniversary card using KISSY KISSY from The Greeting Farm.

I created this card for Spy Day #12 at TGF's Farm Fresh Challenges. The challenge is to create a card based on this card by Beate.....

I used an eyelet lace border punch and matching corner punch to punch all the way around the card.

For the background square I started with a black card stock square. To it I added a square cut from pink swirl glitter card stock. I then cut a triangle from sugar n spice card stock and added a white scallop cut piec of card stock to the inside edge.

I colored the image using crayola and prisma color pencils. I cut it in a circle and backed it in black. I cut around the image using scallop scissors. Then added it to the center of the card.

The sentiment is hand written with black ink and cut out in a circle. I backed it in black and then cut around it with scallop scissors. I added it to the bottom corner. I added 2 pink mini rhinestones and 1 clear mini rhinestone just under the word love.

To the opposite bottom corner I added a black pearl swirl. I then added a white bow just above the swirl. I added a piece of cotton candy baker's twine to a pink button and added it to the center of the bow.

To the upper corner I added a pink rhinestone heart and a clear rhinestone heart.

We are being sponsored by Kenny K Downloads! And one lucky crafter will win 4 digital images from thier shop! How cool is that!! Click on the blinkie to go check out all the amazing images they have.

I used the image Mistletoe on my card. I colored her using crayola and prisma colored pencils. I added a little bit of white flocking to add "fur" to her outfit. I also added a little gold stickles to the buckle on her belt and on her shoes.

The sketch I used is from Seems A Little Sketchy. I used the colors black, white, red and gold. I embossed the piece of white card stock using a Cuttlebug Embossing Folder ~ DOTS. Punched a white snowflake using a punch from Martha Stewart Crafts. I also punched a red snowflake using a snowflake corner punch also from Martha Stewart Crafts. I added crystal stickles to the white around the base of the card, around the image and to the white snowflake. I added red stickles to the small snowflake. I added a gold pearl to the middle of the snowflakes and 3 gold pearls to the upper corner. I added gold ribbon across the middle of the card and made a bow out of the ribbon to add to the side of the image.

It finally snowed here in Maine today!!! I found this cute snowman building kit at The Christmas Tree Shop. (I gotta find a different hat....this ones just a little too small to use). I was able to convince my kiddos to build a snowman this afternoon. I thought I'd share a picture or two........

I created this Christmas card using WINTER FAIRY from Wee Stamps.

Tip: When adding gold stickles to your card. If you add it to kraft card stock it will POP a little better. Also if you get it a little thinner in one spot it's harder to see because the gold blends in with the kraft.

I just love this Christmas image from Elisabeth Bell's digi stamp collection, called Letters To Santa. I colored this image using crayola and prisma colored pencils. I used all white card stock to create my card. The embossing is done using a cuttlebug embossing folder (dots). I added a piece of pink pearl ribbon across the center. I made a bow out of the same ribbon and added it to the side of the image. I went lightly around the embossed piece and the image with crystal stickles.

2011-12-13T21:49:00.000-05:00

I'm dreaming of a "pink" Christmas...... to create my card using Winter Fairy from Wee Stamps.

I created this card starting with a white card base. I cut a piece of sugar n spice card stock a little smaller than the card base. I added a piece of pink flocking card stock down the side of the card with a strip of white that I punched using an eyelet lace border punch.

I colored the image using crayola and prisma colored pencils. I backed the image in sugar n spice and then in white. I added white flocking to the fur on her jacket, earmuffs and boots. I added crystal stickles to the flowers on her jacket, mittens and in her hair, to the ground and to her wings. I punched a snowflake out of white card stock and added it to the upper corner of the image. I added crystal stickles to the snowflake with a pink rhinestone in the center. I also added a smaller snowflake punched out of white card stock and added it to the end of her wand. I added crystal snowflakes and a mini pink rhinestone to the snowflake.

2011-12-01T19:44:00.001-05:00

I can't believe it's already December 1st!! Boy this year sure went by fast! I didn't get anything crafty done today because my hubby and I decided to go get some much needed Christmas shopping done.
So this card is one that I created a couple days ago.

I used Shall I Play For You from Mo's Digital Pencil.

The base of my card is blush red. I cut a piece of sapphire distressed card stock and backed it in tan before adding it to the card base. I cut a piece of red music patterned paper and backd it in tan. I added it to the left side with a slight tilt. I colored the image using crayola and prisma colored pencils. I backed it in sapphire distressed and then again in tan and added it on top of the music paper slightly tilting the opposite way. I stamped the sentiment on white card stock and backed it in blush red and then again in tan and added it to the bottom right side of the card with a slight tilt. I added a tan star button to the sentiment and a tan star and a dark blue star buttons to the upper corner of the image.

So when I saw this image from Mo's Digital Pencil I knew I just had to have it for some of my Christmas cards this year. In A Manger is the perfect image to show what the true meaning of Christmas is, the birth of Jesus.

The sketch that I used is from this week's Inkspirations challenge.

To create this card I started with a base of kraft card stock. I added a piece of celestial blue card stock just a little smaller than the base. I added a square of brown dotted paper and a strip of brown and blue striped paper. To the bottom of the stripped paper I added a piece of kraft card stock that I punched using an eyelet lace border punch. I added piece of brown sugar baker's twine just above the punched kraft border. I colored the image using crayola and prisma colored pencils and cut it out in an oval. I backed it in kraft and then again in celestial blue and then cut around it using scalloped scissors.

I punched two stars out of kraft card stock and added gold stickles and a off white pearl to the center of each one. To finish the card I added three off white pearls to the upper corner and crystal stickles to the angel's wings.

Vintage Santa

2011-11-24T19:44:00.001-05:00

To make this Christmas card I decided to try a technique I've never tried before. I stamped Quiet Santa from Whiff Of Joy onto kraft card stock. (I usually stamp on white). The base of my card is kraft card stock. I inked the edges using a chestnut brown ink pad. I added a piece of Christmas plaid card stock. For a little contrast to the dark greens and reds in the plaid card stock I cut a strip of sage green card stock and inked the edges using the same brown inkpad. I added it to a piece of kraft card stock that I punched using an eyelet lace border punch and inked the edges of it. I added a boutique moss ribbon and brown sugar baker's twine to the top of it. I colored the image using crayola and prisma colored pencils. I inked the edges with the brown ink pad. I stamped the sentiment beside the image on the sage green. I finished off the card by adding 3 off white pearls to the upper corner and a bow to the twine.

After I colored the snowman I backed it in the matching card stock color and added it to the card base. I added crystal stickles to the snowflake and the bottom of the snowman. I added a rhinestone to the center of the snowflake and 3 more to the upper corner above the sentiment.

Let It Snow

2011-11-21T22:09:00.000-05:00

I created this Christmas card using Snowball from Pollycraft. The base of my card is aqua card stock. I cut a piece of lavender card stock just a little smaller than the card base. I cut a strip of lavender gingham patterned paper and backed it in aqua and white after I punched each with an eyelet lace border punch. I added a piece of aqua ribbon to the middle of the gingham paper and then added it to the center of the card. I colored the image using crayola and prisma colored pencils and cut it out in an oval. I backed both the image and the sentiment in aqua and cut around them using scalloped scissors. I added snowflakes to the corner of the image and to the sentiment. I added crystal stickles to the snowflakes and on the image (snow, snowballs and wings) and added a lavender pearl to the center of each snowflake. I finished off the card by adding two aqua pearls to the upper corner and two to the bottom corner.

I cut a piece of red card stock and backed it in white and punched one edge of the white using an eyelet lace border punch. I added a christmas gingham ribbon to the center of the red.

Merry Little Christmas

2011-11-10T21:02:00.000-05:00

This is my take on this month's sketch at CLP Challenges. I created a Christmas card using Sneaky Tilda from Magnolia Stamps. The base of my card is hunter green. I cut a piece of Christmas plaid card stock a little smaller than the base of the card and backed it in merry card stock. I cut a tag out of tan card stock. To the top of the tag I added a piece of crackled green patterned paper that I punched the edge using an eyelet lace border punch. I added a piece of brown sugar baker's twin and a bow to the tag and added it to the card. I cut a piece of tan card stock and punched the bottom edge using the same eyelet lace border punch. I added a piece of hunter green ribbon and a piece of brown sugar baker's twine across the middle of it and added it to the card. I colored the image using crayola and prisma colored pencils and backed it in merry card stock. I added a off white satin flower to a sage green crocheted flower to the corner of the image. I added a red and green hat pin to the flower. I finished off the front of the card by adding cream pearls to the top corner.

I finished the inside of the card by cutting a piece of crackled green card stock a little smaller than the card base. I backed it in merry cardstock. I stamped the sentiment onto white card stock and backed it in merry. Then I cut a piece of the Christmas plaid card stock a little bigger than the sentiment and backed it in tan card stock.

Whiff Of Joy Challenge blog is looking for some new crafters for their design team. I am entering this Christmas card using this week's sketch and this adorable Henry Mouse With Hot Chocolate rubber stamp.

I used the colors red, citrus teal and white. I colored the image using crayola and prisma colored pencils. I added frosted lace and christmas red stickles to the snowflakes, Henry's scarf and his hat. I also added teal rhinestones to the snowflakes. I added piece of teal with snowflakes ribbon behind the image. I used a snowflake border punch to help make the red cardstock below the sentiment pop a little. Then I added a little red baker's twine to it and tucked the corner of the sentiment into it. The white strip of cardstock at the bottom is embossed using a cuttlebug embossing folder (dots). To finish the card I added 3 red rhinestones to the top corner.

Christmas Mice

I created this Christmas card for the spy day challenge at TGF's Farm Fresh Challenges. The inspiration I used from the spy day card was the sketch and twine. The base of my card is kraft card stock. I cut a piece of citrus teal card stock a little smaller than the card and backed it in red card stock. I added red bakers twine across the middle of the card. The snowflakes that I added are thin plastic snowflake ornaments that I found at the dollar store. I colored the image, Candy Cane Snack, using crayola and prisma colored pencils. I backed it in red and then again in kraft. I stamped the sentiment onto kraft card stock and backed it in red. I made a bow out of the red bakers twine and added it to the twine across the middle. I added a red heart rhinestone to the sentiment and 3 red rhinestones to the bottom corner of the card.
