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.

Lacy Sunshine - lots of layers

Brown Sugar - use a charm

Color Marker Classroom [CMC] - anything goes

My 2013 Christmas Cards

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. 

Thank you for stopping by, happy creating!

Peace in Earth

Hi everyone,

The weeks just seem to be flying by and keeping me busy. This week over at the neighbor hood of 613 Ave our sponsor is Rick St Dennis. The optional theme is to use the word Peace on our card. I have used this cute angel stamp and colored her with copic markers. E00,000,21,35,37, Y21 R20,22,24, BG10,11,13 N0. I assed a lot of glitter on her wings. I am still trying to figure out how to make the glitter show up on my cards. She was printed onto neenah cs then I fussy cut around her. The base card is neenah. I then used a DCWV DSP stack. I distressed around the edges with SU not quite navy and then added a few clouds. The ribbon is also from SU bashful blue. The banner is from the same paper stack with red distressing around the edges. I cut the wedge our with my scissors. The sentiment is from a JustRite stamp set called Noel Christmas Ornaments. I used the same red as the banner on the inside of the card and added a MS lattace border. 

Thank you so much for stopping by for a visit. Happy creating!

Holiday Cheer

Hi everyone,

It time for another challenge over at the neighbor hood of 613 Ave Create. Our sponsor this week is Rick St Dennis. He has some super cute Christmas images and I choose to use this snowman. The base card is neenah cs and I embossed it with the cuttlebug snowflake folder. I then used some faux stitching using a sukura aqua glitter pen. The image was printed onto neenah cs and colored with copic markers. N2,4,6,8, B12,14,E37,35,Y13,15, R22,24. The red rose and the leaves were made using the flower blossoms from spellbinders and sprinkled with glitter. SU red and green cs. The corner edges were made with the MS mold but I used a soft clay and colored it with copic YG63 and sprinkled with glitter, I am not too fond of the MS soft molding clay or foam that she sells so used another. I found that when her clay is molded it seems to crack when taken out of the mold. The sentiment is from one of my favorite stamp sets JustRite stamps called Noel Christmas Ornaments. I stamped it with black versafine ink pad. The red ribbon is from my stash.
