Dragon

 

WT894 - Sing, Sing a Song. Marking the launch of iTunes in 2003 (This dragon reminds me of Puff the Magic Dragon.

I used the Tim Holtz dragon die cut to create this dragon. I also added a heart for him to hold as this is hubby's birthday card this year and I thought a heart was perfect.

For this fold I used a fold called trifold shutter card. 

For the flames I used a Honeybee Stamps layered flame stencil.

Little Girl

 

SC903 - This week's sketch

USEIT2022 - Image

I needed to color up this cute image from my stack of images and I thought she needed a few flowers.

I found a stack of already cut flowers from paper scraps and added some teal to the edges to mirror the teal in the image. I also added one to her head wrap.

The flowers were finished with Nuvo Drops.

Teapot

 

MMTPT718 - Teapot or teacup

I used this cute Bo Bunny teapot and colored it up with copics. I grabbed some designer paper from my stack and realized that the edge of the paper was torn. This was some paper my MIL purchased from a craft store that is in town and will be closing soon. Well, I loved the distressed look so I distressed the other layers.

Next I added dome dimension to the image and found this half doily in a drawer and thought it was perfect to crumple up and add to my teapot. I finished with some flowers from my stash and found this cute charm and thought the sentiment was perfect.

The flowers were finished with a few gold pearls.

Graduation

• The GRADUATION BACKGROUND - 984H was stamped 4 times on the white card base then colored with copics.
• Next, I stamped the LET THE ADVENTURE BEGIN GREETING - 615E and die cut the sentiment layering on red card stock.
• The front of the card was finished with a graduation cap and diploma sticker from my stash.

I finish the inside of the card stamping the TASSEL - 007D and then coloring it with copics in reds to mirror the red on the front of the card.

SC902 - This Week's Sketch

When I saw the sketch I immediately thought of this star background that I created a couple of weeks ago. I was trying a technique and did not quite get it the way it was described but I did not want to toss the layer because it still was a great background.

I added the star background, die cut the military silhouette and stamped the sentiment.

Birthday Cards

 

CAS686 - Happy Birthday

I am trying to build up my birthday card stash so I actually have 2 cards today.

My first card uses a single candle stamped across the card stock then colored in various copics. I then white heat embossed the sentiment and popped the candles and sentiment up on dimensionals.

My second card uses the new butterfly from DRS Designs. I just had to ink this up as soon as I received it. I then die cut the heart around the butterfly and popped it up on dimensionals.

I finished this card off also with the new birthday wishes stamp from DRS Designs white heat embossed and a few sequins for some sparkle.

Foxy Congratulations

 

IC854 - The Postman's Knock - this was my INSPIRATION

A friend needed a woodsy themed baby congratulations card and the inspiration was perfect for me to create this little foxy card.

I used my cricut to cut out the fox and layered adding sponging to the edges of the layers. I added a bit of pink to the cheeks and layered the fox on the embossed wood which I sponged a bit of brown to the raised portions of the wood.

I finished with the white highlights on the heart and the stamped sentiment raised up on dimensionals.

USEIT2022 - Thank you tag

For my Free for All item I used an old thank you tag that my sister in law had tied on table embellishments for my nephew's going away party when he joined the navy. I could not see throwing them away so I grabbed a couple off the table to use on some cards.

I colored up the image with copics, cut the layers and added the thank you embellishment.

Happy Father's Day

 

CAS685 - Boat/Nautical 

It is time for me to get started on Father's Day cards. This SAILBOAT - 887F is perfect for any father in my family.

• I stamped the SAILBOAT - 887F with memento black ink and colored with copics and added some light sponging for the clouds.
• Next, the SMALL HAPPY FATHER'S DAY GREETING - 827B was stamped and I used some coordinating blue from the water to color the Father's word.
• The black card base is embossed with an old Tim Holtz emboss folder on black card stock. I then used metallic rub on and my finger to add the copper to the raised portion of the compass.

Happy Father's Day

Happy Easter Everybunny

 

IC853 - James Street Home Decor 

Easter is fast approaching, and a fun bunny card is perfect to send to anyone. For my card today I first stamped EASTER EARS LEONARD PIG - 858G then masked the image. Next, I stamped VINCENT VAN BUNNY - 396L and CUTE BUNNY WITH EGG - 702D.

Once the scene was stamped, I used the HAPPY EASTER EVERYBUNNY - 048D sentiment. To get the sentiment all in a line, I stamped the Happy Easter portion first then used a piece of acetate and lined up the Everybunny where it needed to be on the card front. Once I had it lined up correctly, I removed the acetate and stamped just the "Everybunny!" portion of the sentiment.

7th Anniversary

My niece asked for an anniversary card for her hubby with playing cards and 7 for their 7th anniversary. This chalelnge is perfect to use some playing cards. I cut the red and die cut the sentiment and hearts. The red and purple were the colors of their wedding so it is perfect for an anniversary card. I then tucked the 4 and 3 playing cards under the red and glued the hearts and sentiment. I kept it very CAS since this is fur her hubby. Thank you for stopping by to check out my card today.

For my card base I decided to go through my card stock and use bits of leftover colors. I cut them down to 1-inch squares and glued them to a white card base.

Next, I ran that through with a star emboss folder then glued to my card front.

I finished the card off with the die cut dog, food bowl and sentiment and added a few sequins for some shine.

MMTPT715 - Dotty or Stripy

A couple of weeks ago I created THIS CARD and after cutting all the strips from the card I ended up with some leftover pieces that I just did not want to toss. 

I grabbed those leftovers and created the background for this card and love that I was able to create a second card from my first scrappy card. I added the sentiment and finished off with a couple of die cut flowers and some Nuvo Drops.

CAS684 - Butterflies

For my card today I used this super cute spring scene from DRS Designs and colored it up with copics. I masked out the sentiment from the scene when I stamped it so I could have just the image and the clouds were added with a stencil and distress inks.

Next, I embossed the paper emboss folder then lined up the sentiment on one of the lines of the paper finishing off with a die cut butterfly.

Just a Quilty Note

 

F4A632 - Cards for Crafty Friends

My MIL is a quilter and has many quilt friends. She loves when I make scrappy cards that she can send to her friends.
