Re- Inker Tip

Hi, I just thought I would share a little tip for the re-inkers. It is hard to tell what the color is if you store them upright. I use 1/4" stampin up punch with the color of the inks using either markers or card stock. Glue them on the top and it is so much easier to find the color you need to re-ink the ink pads. Hope this will help in your  origination. 

Thanks for stopping by and have a fabulous day!

Hi everyone,

We are still having very hot weather here. I't way too hot for me to go outside. I burn so quick and don't tan. So I stay with AC. 

Well on to  todays card. This is Lacy Sunshine Dogwood Darla. She is so super cute. I printed the image onto neenah cs and colored it with copic markers. E00,21,51,23,35 R20,81, YG63 . I used very little colors for this image. The card base is neenah cs and the layer paper was in my stash so I am not sure where it came from. I really need to find a way to keep track of the left overs. On each end of the music paper I used SU happiness shared stamp set. I stamped the small magnolia using SU close to cocoa 4 times on each side. I then added some sukura white gel pen and added some highlights to the image. I then decided the image needed a darker background so I used brown Brazil paper. The sentiment is the happiness shared set and stamped onto neenah cs and the ends of the banner were cut using a small SU square punch.  I added CTMH seam binding ribbon and a small crystle rose the center of the bow bow. I think she turned out so sweet. 

I will enter this card into this challenge.

Birdie Fun

Hi everyone,

I really enjoyed coloring and creating this card with the adorable image called Eleanor and Pickles birdie fun. The card base is neenah cs. The frame is a spellbinders die called Just Swingin'. The leaves on the bottom branch were too long so I cut off a few of them so they wouldn't hide so much of Eleanor's hair. I used SU almost artichoke solid cs for the frame. The image is printed onto neenah cs and colored with copic markers. E00,000,11,51, Y26, B12,14, G99,97,03, V00,01, R81,83, C1,2, YR00. I then colored a small piece of paper with the V01 and R81 and punched our some small flowers with the small SU flowers. I then added some sukura glitter pen to the flower centers , ribbon, gems on her glasses and bits of the water.

I will add this card into these challenges.

Your Special Day

Hi everyone,

My name is Carol and my blog is Happy Expressions. It's my turn to share with you again this week at She's A Sassy Lady. Thank you for having me again this week Sheila.

I am sharing this adorable card I made from the images of Deedee's Digis. This digi is called "no it's not a tie." The card base is SU pacific point cs. The images were printed onto neenah cs. I cut two small stripes for more interest and added them to the top and bottom of the card. The banner is the SU petite banner  punch using real red cs and the DSP that was in the scrap box. (yes I realize the writing is upside down). I didn't change it encase I ripped the card. It will be a conversation piece. lol!

 I decided to make it a one layer card. What I did was go into MS word and added the digi image. I then used a sq sized at 5.5x4.25. I would hover over the image just until I could make sure I had the image centered where I wanted it. Then I deleted the sq. I left the other side blank so I could fold my card in half. I did the same for the inside of the card to center the sentiment. I then cut it down to 5.25x4 and centered on the inside of the card. I have a wood banner stamp from the dollar store and stamped that above the sentiment. I colored them in with copic markers. B26, R24,YG67,Y13. I added some wink of stella and sequins to finish off the card. I hope you have enjoyed this card and it has given you some inspiration.

I will enter this card into these challenges.

Gingerbread Men Shaker

Hi everyone,

My name is Carol and you can find my blog here at Happy Expressions. It's my turn to share a project with you all here at She's A Sassy Lady. Thanks for having join you Sheila.

I have decided to share with you a really easy shaker card. The card base is staples vanilla cs. I added a few snowflakes around the edges with a Seasons Greetings sentiment and embossed them with winter snow embossing powder. I bought the embossing powder from Micheal's. I am sorry the embossing does't show like I hoped it would. I chose a really cute DSP from a MS border self adhesive pad. I cut the image at 2.75 x 2.75 inches. I added some dimentional tape around the square. I then added some small confetti paper pieces I have made from a MS border punch. I also have the border to use on another project. I also added some silver stars and sequins in the shaker.

For the frame around the shaker I used a sizzix scalloped square die to cut the frame. I then took my exacto knife and cute the inside piece for the window. If you have a cutting machine it would make this step very easy. I did it this way encase some of you didn't have a cutting machine. I added the frame over the plastic sheet (cut from the piece of plastic our cricut cartridges come in. The banners are from the same MS pad. I added the banners to the top left of the card. Then added a stripe of dimensional foam on the right side of the card and glue on the left so they would be the same height. I cut a few more of the colored snowflakes with a SU circle punch. I took a red pen and doodled around the card edge.I put some wink of stella on the front of the frame and around the edge of the border. I had some gold star stickers that I used to finish off the card. I hope you have all enjoyed my small tutorial and find some inspiration from it.

Thank you all for dropping by, Have a blessed and happy day!

Balloon Birthday Fairy

Hi everyone,

I like the sketch on Mojo Monday today so this is the card I came up with. The card base is 4x6 neenah cs. I usually do 4.25x5.5 but this piece worked out great as it was. I used a DSP from Ki Memories paper pad. The smaller DSP is DCWV pad. I used a pre printed image from Crafters Companion CD. I did use some copic markers to darken the image to match the papers a bit more. I used the MS balloon paper punch for the red balloon and its the back side of the DCWV pad from the left overs.   The purple balloon is a piece of scrap that was on my desk and  the kraft balloon is the back side of the ki Mamories pad. I added SU white ribbon. The sentiment is from Pink by Design and stamped onto a strip of neenah cs using SU soft suede ink. The small heart was punched out and added to the smallest balloon. The two bottom balloons were cut using quik kut oval die. I used SU owl punch  to punch the bottoms of the balloon using the owl feet. I then felt like it needed some stitching to finish it off. 

I will enter this card into these challenges

Gift card box

Hi everyone,

Today at 613 Ave create our challenge is to create gift packaging. I made this gift card box for my granddaughter's birthday. This box is a 4x4 but I didn't want her to guess it was for a gift card. I love making the boxes and I have the crafters companion boxer that helps make it is so easy. I stamped the image onto neenah white cs and colored it with copics. I used a corner punch on the purple layer. The DSP is K & K. I used a V15 copic and colored the fastenater staples  that I add as embellishments. The flowers are from my stash. The ribbon is whisper white gross grain. I will enter this card into these challenges.
