Today's Free for All challenge on Splitcoast Stampers - Make a Valentine

I created these super cute Valentines cards for my nieces class using the Green Duck Embellishments. She came over and helped design these adding her own flair to several and offering up suggestions. It was a wonderful way to spend the day with my niece. I sure hope her friends like these cards. The Green Duck Embellishments make them super easy to create with just adding touches of embossed folders or hand doodled lines, DP or sequins.

There is still time to sign up for the give away. Please see the post in the upper right corner of my blog. I will be announcing the name on February 1st.

Today's Featured Stamper challenge is the brilliant gallery of snowqueen. I love so many wonderful creations in her gallery. I found this beauty: http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/ga...&ppuser=118730 and love the simplicity of the card. I am finishing up the cards for my nieces Valentines for her class and this design was perfect.

Rather than adding layers to the oval I die cut out the oval on my owls. Then added embossing around the opening. Finished off with a couple of green duck embellishments. For the bottom two I left the ovals out and just embossed the layers with different embossed hearts as Carolyn had used hearts on her card.

Thankful Dog

Wonderful inspiration challenge today at I found this fun t-shirt Image. It made me think of this fun dog from Tim Holtz.

Colored the dog with copics. Then I grabbed my stash of scrap papers and found all these fun patterned papers that all seemed to coordinate. Mounted them on a brown CS and added a sentiment and a punched leaf.

Copics used: C0, C3, C5, C7, C9, R20, R24, R29 & R32

Super fun challenge on SCS. We went Down Under

Did the Smack & Squirt technique that Miss Susie (susie australia) refers to on her cards. I finally got it to work. Thank you Miss Susie for all your help. It finally worked. Once dry I stamped leaves over the BG. Added the DP and ribbon stamped the image and mounted. Finished off with some 3D leaves, flowers and bird.


Copics used: C0, C1, C3, R30, E31, E35 & Y 35

Today's newest Featured Stamper is Lynne Jardine, known around here as Ruby-dooby-doo! Lynne has a wonderful gallery with fun designs & fabulous colors. I found this wonderful CARD. I loved the title so I did the same, used scraps.

Cut down the scraps I had to do a very similar layout. Added texture to them and mounted the pieces. Added dimensionals to the Green Duck embellishment and finished off with homemade candy dots.

IC581 - It's the Oh So Beautiful Paper website. I found this wonderful SNOWFLAKE. I got this snowflake die cut just after Christmas and thought it was perfect to use from my inspiration. Die cut the snowflake and mounted. Added a sentiment on a punched ornament and added an additional snowflake and gem on the ornament.

CCC17FEB is adding people on our cards. I thought this wonderful Green Duck embellishment was perfect to add to my card. I added a gem to his ornament as well. Working on my Christmas cards for 2017 as I was way behind last year.
