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.

In Sympathy

Hi everyone,

I have needed some sympathy lately and like everyone else it is very hard to create them. I seen a card on Pinterest similar to this one and though I would case it. Its very lovely and easy to make up. I am sorry but I don't remember the persons name that I cased it from.

The card base is neenah cs folded to 4.25 X5,5.I took one of my embossing folders and embossed the front layer only using my big shot machine.  I used a layer of Neenah white to stamp the SU pocket silhouette leaves. I used the stamp full strength and stamped off onto the white spaces between using  SU black ink. For the sentiment I have used the large scalloped oval punch. The white layer is neenah cs and punched out with the large oval. The sentiment is from the SU Thoughts and prayers set. I punched the small flower in black added a sm rhinestone to the center to finish off the front of the card. The inside has a beautiful sentiment. I made a few of the cards to have on hand as you never know when they will be needed.
I will add this card to this challange

Adorable Teddy

Hi everyone,

This adorable card is using the Crafter;s Companion Bear. I made three in different colors but this grey bear is my favorite. The bear was stamped onto neenah cs and colored with copic markers.

copics: N0,2,4, R61,63, YG63.67.  I die cut the image using my sizzix circles and an open scallop circle to layer under the image. I used glimmer silver cs from recollection. Its a lovely thicker cs. The circles were all layered with dimensional's  onto 5.5 sq neenah white cs. I used the SU lacy border punch with the silver and cut two borders one for the top and one for the bottom of the cs. I have seen a lot of thee thin cirlcle cuts so decided to use my program make the cut and created a thin circle and duplicated it two more times and welded all three together to make one. I cut it using my expression and a glitter pink/purple ombre glitter cs. I am very pleased at how it turned out. They don;t look as thin as the die cut ones but I am still pleased. I am going to use the card as either a birthday or baby card. I am putting this card into this challenge.

Dasher Tag

Happy days everyone,

My post today is a tag I made for the Simon Says Wednesday challenge. All supplies are SU except for the flower and ribbon.  I love making tags but don't make them often enough. The tag base is SU real red then I used the big shot with a textured plate. 

 The deer is on whisper white cs and  is called Dasher from SU. I used versa mark to stamp it with and applied silver embossing powder and heat set. Then layered it onto elegant egg plant cs. The snow drift was torn and inked with real red. The sentiment is SU Holiday best stamp set inked in black, I then added a poinsettia flower from my stash. The corner border is a piece of the top that I cut off the tag for added interest. The ribbon is from my stash also. 

I am adding my tag into this challenge

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.

Bird Watching

Hi everyone,

Carol here from Happy Expressions to share a project with you at Shes A Sassy Lady. Thank you so much Shelia for letting me share a card with you. 

I have this really cute saturated canary image called Rose Red. I colored this image a while back and didn't get around to making a card with it. When I was going through my colored images I came across this one. The card base is SU and I embossed the white layer with SU final press embossing folder and the bigshot. I cut the corners with the die-namics corner die four times. The image was printed onto neenah cs and colored with copic markers. Eoo,ooo,21,31,33,35,37,50,  R20 YR02,000.YG61,63, B12,14. I used SU thinlet die to cut around the image and layered it with foam squares on the back. I faux stitched around the corner die and hand wrote the hello on the bottom corner with sukura white get pen. I added the SU topnote die 0n the inside of the card using neenah cs. 

Thank you all so much for stopping by, happy crafting and have a great day!

I Love Copics

Hi everyone,

We had more snow the last few days but it isn't sticking. Thanks goodness. My daughter was going to Kamloops for her job last week and her car spun out of control on black ice on the Kokahalla. She ended up in the meridian. Lucky for her that a trucker saw her and stopped to help. She was pinned in the car but her got her out. She is fine but quite shook up. The trucker told her when he saw the accident she had angels watching over her and he said she was lucky to have survived and had no injuries. I am so thankful she is all right. Winter traveling sucks. Stay safe everyone and don't go out in bad weather if it isn't necessary.

On to my card. I bought this adorable image quite some time ago. I colored it up and didnt make it into a card. I went through my box and decided it was time to finish it. The image is Lacy Sunshine printed onto neenah cs and colored with copic markers. E00,000,21,26,23. N0, B21,23, BV000,02 YG 61,63. I used a spellbinders die to cut the image out. I used BV01 around the edge of the die cut. I printed the DSP on a silicone baking sheet that I use on my desk top. Its smooth but with still had some texture after I took my paper off. I wasn't sure I liked it. I cut it down and added it to my card and it looked much better. I popped it up with dimensional. The flowers were white and I added some purple alcohol  with a paint brush. The leaves were cut with an old marvy punch that still works great. It was one of my mothers that I inherited.  The paper is SU and distressed with old olive ink pad. I took a marker and added some veins. I cut photo corners with my big shot using a small quickutz photo corner die. I used a sukura glitter pen and faux stitched around the card. I then added some glitter into the holes of the corner die and the heart. I will add this card into these challenges.

A Beautiful Bride

Hi everyone, 

Our sponsor at The Fairy's challenge is Woopsie Dasiy. I am using this cute bride image, I printed it onto neenah cs. This is the colored image but I thought it would be nice to add a darker skin and hair color. I used copic markers. E00,000,21,35. I used an embossing on the background and the two top corners. I distressed the edges with SU riding hood red. I was disappointed that is seemed to bleed some. That was where the hearts came in. To disguise the smudges. I added some ribbon and white flowers from my stash. I will add this card into these challenges.

Beautiful Lady

Hi everyone,

I made another card for our sponsor this week. Whoopsi Daisy. I used a pre coloured image and decided to make a swing card. I started off with a 4.25x11 card base. I scored the cs in half and the front piece in half again and then added the DSP. I took the left half folded and put it in my bigshot with one of the spellbinders dies. I added another layer to bring out more colour. I them cut the image with a smaller die. I cut the smaller one out twice so I could use one of them for the inside to write a greeting. I added a bow from my stash and some liquid pearls on each of the flower centers. I will add this card into these challenges.

Summer

Hi everyone,
We had a very muggy hot day here today. Thank goodness for AC. I don't take well to the heat so I did stay cool. Our Challenge on the Fairys Challenge blog is summer flowers. I have used this cute digi from Digi's 4 Joy. I printed her onto neenah cs and coloured her with copic markers. I then used a spellbinder to cut the image with my big shot. The DSP is DCWV and it is so pretty. I loved the colours. I added a soft green ribbon and some liquid pearls on the card. I had some small flowers in my stash so I used 3 that matched the colours in the paper. I will enter this card into these challenges.

Making Cocoa

HI everyone,

It's a busy time for me getting ready to go to my grandsons wedding. I've been trying to get all of my commitments finished before I go. I'm getting there, just a few projects left to do and then the wedding card. Then I will start packing.

My card today is a Lacy Sunshine digi printed onto neenah cs and coloured with copic. I used a SU die to cut the digi out and traced on pattern paper to make a layer. I distressed the edges with SU early expresso. The patterned paper is from MME Santa Claus stack. The papers are very pretty but I accidentally put the glue on the wrong side of the brown one and I couldn't get it off without ruining the card so I left it. Its a bit darker than I would normally do a Christmas card but I could also use it for a December Birthday. Problem solved. I added a small element on the right bottom corner to bring in the browns. The ribbon was from my stash. It needed a little something else so I added some glitter and liquid pearls. I will add this card into these challenges.

My Copic Marker Inventory Book

 

Hi everyone,

This is my first posting for Shelia at She's a Sassy Lady. Most of you know how much I like my copic markers. Its nice to be able to see what I have and what other colours I would like to have.   I made this journal quite a few months ago but couldn't decide what I wanted as my front cover. Well as you can see I finally finished it. Her is my copic Inventory book.

 I downloaded this copic chart from Frillions by Eli at
 http://frillions.wordpress.com/2012/01/02/copic-colors-notebook-tutorial/
There are a lot of different charts made by a lot of talented people. You just need to find one you like and download it.

I printed off the pages and cut them into 4. The front and back covers were made from the inside cardboard of two large chocolate bars. The chocolate was so yummy. They are a beautiful gold and feel as strong as chip board. I used my cinch to bind the book. This book was also the first book I bound on my cinch. How easy it was too. I then took my markers and added the colours to the pages.

To decorate the cover I used SEI winter song DSP stack. Its a Christmas stack but it had the colours I was looking for. The Chocolate brown solid paper was a scrap piece so I am not sure where it came from. I used Cricut Craft Room to cut the letters copic markers. Its from the free font cricut basic. I used a white gel pen on the letters. The flowers were white but I coloured them with E29 and the ribbon is from my stash.    The image is a Saturated Canary Digi called Blanche. I used a  SU die around the image for the shape. I doodled around the shape and then coloured with copic. E00,000,21,29,37,35, R24,27,29, Sukura clear glitter for the earrings. I will add this book into these challenges.

Springtime with Texas

Hi everyone,

I had a  busy day here but I still managed to take Yogi for a walk. I had to purchace a thundershirt for him today but I have put it off long enough. He has seperation anxiety and I do hope this will help him. I think the problem is that I don't leave him alot. The places I go I usually take him with me. I live in a condo so the barking and whining is not allowed. I was told this would help so if it does it is well worth the price.

On with today's card. Our sponsor at 613 Ave Create this week is Rick St Dennis and this cutie is named Texas and the challenge is anything goes. I printed her onto neenah white CS and colored her with copics. The DSP is from DCWV so I wanted to use some copics to match it up. I used a spellbinders die for the greenery on the and the roses at the bottom I made and distressed them with pale plum ink. pearls were added to the centre and I used the cricut to make the leaves for them. I added ribbon, pearls and rhinestones. I added lots of glitter but it doesn't show much. I will enter this into these challenges.

Lacy Sunshine Stamp - Sunny

Hi everyone,

It's been raining all day today so I went and got my groceries, visited my granddaughter and came home to make this cute birthday card for another granddaughter who's name happens to be Summer. I thought this cute free image from Heather Valetin, Lacy Sunshine was a perfect card for her. This little cutie's name is Sunny. I printed her onto neenah cs, and colored her with copics. I used a spellbinders grand templates called Creative Book Pages Two. It`s nice because all the dies will cut on my big shot. I chalked the background and the trim around the frame with the SU chalks. The card base is recollections, and the DSP is DCWV. The sunflower trim at the side of the card is from the same spellbinder set, I added a silk ribbon from my stash. I will enter this card into these challenges.
