Flurry

Pin It
Hi everyone,

This adorable image is from Lacy Sunshine called Flurry. I love her stamps and find it fun to colour them.   I printed the image onto neenah cs and coloured her with copic markers. E00,000,21,35,31,37, YG 61,63, G40. I added some pearls and glitter on the snowflakes but again it doesn't show in the photo. My base card is 6x6 using neenah cs. I used the hinge method to make my card. My hinge was 1 " folded in half then glued to the card. Christina Griffiths has a great video here.  I used a spellbinders die called creative book pages two. The border across the top is also in the set. I added ribbon and a larger pearl in the center of the ribbon. Hope you enjoy this card, I will enter this card into these challenges.

Happy Birthday to ewe...

Pin It
Hi everyone,

I hope you all had as wonderful a Christmas as I did. The family was all together and it was so much fun. The only one that couldn't make it was my grandson Craig and his new wife Shawna. They went to Tyland for their honeymoon. We did talk with them through Skype. 

On to my card. Our sponsor at 613 this week is Bugaboo stamps. Optional theme was black and your favorite colour. I printed this cutie onto neenah cs and coloured with copics. N2,4,6,8, YG63,99. I then used a spellbinders die to cut around it. I added some glitter but it doesn't show much. The green cs is from SU always artichoke. The Cheveron DSP is from pinkpaislee Luxe pack. The ribbon is from my stash. The happy birthday on top of the ribbon is a large decorative staple.

Thank you for visiting today, happy creating!

A Taste of Christmas

Hi everyone,

We have another challenge at 613 Ave Create this week. Our sponsor for the week is Bugaboo and my image is called popxmas cocoa. I printed the image onto neenah cs and coloured it with copic markers. E33,35, YG61,63, R27,24,22 05, N6,4,2, W1. I used sukura clear glitter pen on the hat and cherries.I used a spellbinders square scallop to cut around the image. I made a few mistakes on the tracing so I add 2 small snowflakes to hide them. I traced the outline to enhance the image and make it the focal point. I found a really cute chevron DSP from pinkpaislee Luxe pack.  The sentiment is from Pink by Design Christmas sayings. I hope you will join us in our challenge. I am entering this card into these challenges.

Pin It
Hi everyone,
 I had another Birthday card to make this last week so I wanted to share it with you. He is a family member that turned 49 and is having a tough time of it. I have this cute stamp set from stupendous and thought it would be great to use. The card is made into a gift card holder. The card base is SU brown and the DSP is  a Recollections fall stack. The image is printed onto neena cs and colored with copics. YG 63, G 40. The Birthday stamp is from SU.  The maple leaf is from a spellbinders die called Orchard tags and accents. I distressed it with SU chocolate chip, Certainly celery, real red, curry. The sentiment is from the same set as the  gecko. He really liked the card and gift card. He ased me when the card was empty when was I going to refill it. LOL!  Hope you have enjoyed. I will enter this card into this challenge

Casino Birthday Card

Pin It
Hi everyone,
I thought I would share this Birthday card with you that I made for a friend that loves the casino. I printed the images onto neenah cs. The bingo cards were purchaced from the silhouette store and printed and cut them. The slot machine I found as a free image and coloured it with copic markers. No,2,4,6,8, YG 61,63, Y 11, R 22,24. I drew the cherries in the empty slots  and added some red glitter glue from recollections purchased it awhile back but never used it. I thought it would look cute on this card. I am not too fussy on the glitter glue. It flattened right down when dried.  I thought it would be more like the liquid pearls. I drew a curved line around the image and added more red glitter cherries in-between the lines. The bottom right of the card It says Happy Birthday with some scroll work. I then added some sukura glitter clear on the writing.  The DSP is from an older stack of  DCWV I bought a few years ago. The cover is off so I dont know the mane of the stack. The card base is from SU I think it is sage. She really liked the card and I enjoyed creating it for her.

I will enter this card into this challenge

My 2013 Christmas Cards








Pin It
Hi everyone, 


It's the first Wednesday in December and my turn to share with you She's a Sassy Lady today.Thank you Shelia for letting me join you to show everyone what I have been creating.

I thought I would share with you the Christmas cards I made to send out this year. I don/t have as many as Sheila has to give but 50 plus is still a fair amount. These will be perfect to send to in the mail.   
I found some beautiful shimmery card stock at Mickeals from Recollections called Christmas Noel Navidad. It has such a beautiful backdrop and I thought it would make quick cards. I added SU reindeer and sentiment, SU lovely as a tree stamps. Just Rite Ornament stamp and sentiment, and Inkadindadoo. I mounted the front panels onto the plain shimmery cs. I was so pleased that the ink didn't smear. I was worried it might being shimmery and all. They are more beautiful in person than in the photo. It didn't take me long to get them all done and now all I need to do is get them in their envelopes and in the mail. If you have a lot of cards to mail this is the way to go. Hope you all enjoyed.

Thank you for dropping by, happy creating!

We Three Geese

Hi everyone,

Can you believe it is the end of November already. I was feeling ill for a few weeks but am on the mend and trying to get everything done that I need to do including a few more Christmas cards.

 We are having another challenge starting over at 613 Ave Create. The DT theme this week was to use gift packaging. Our sponsor this week is Rick St Dennis. I have chosen to use this really cute Christmas image called We Three Geese. I had fun creating this gift card. The card base is SU red scored and folded in half. I printed the image onto Neenah Solor white cs and colored with copics. W1,3, Y19,15,13, R5,7,9,22,24,27, B23,26, I added some little dots from a package of stickers that was in my stash. The DSP is American Crafts Wonderland 6x6 pad, The Geese were cut from spellbinders sq scallop die. I cut the tree from A cut above die. Its the smaller of the trees. I then added distressed marker picket fence to make it look like snow. I should have added puff paint instead. Oh well, next time. The Sentiment is from Justrite ornament stamp set .I then added a white feather to the first goose. The inside sentiment is an older Christmas sentimant from SU. I added the same papers to match the front and added a piece of ribbon. Added a few snowflakes from a punch. I hope you have enjoyed my card today.
