Week of 8/29 Cards Part 1

 

FS707 - I am so thrilled to see the amazingly talented featured stamper is Angela Maine aka Arizona Maine. I have been in love with her crafting for a very long time and always love seeing anything new she adds to her gallery. Congratulations Angela!!!!

I found this fun CARD

I loved the flying witch and it reminded me of the flying witch in this cute stamp from DRS Designs.

Many of Arizona's cards are CAS style so I kept this one CAS.

I stamped the image and the sentiment and then sponged the moon yellow and sponged blue and purples around the card base. I finished off with yellow copics on the windows.

I am so excited for the DTGD20 challenges and love making samples for the challenges! This is for Ann's (DTGD20annsforte3) challenge.

This unicorn was in my stack of printed images needing colored. My goal for next year is to finish using those images to clear that pile of unused images. I found I had two of this image in the stack so I colored them both with pencils. Once colored I cut down the layers and used some scrap papers for the banners.

I am also continuing my goal to use a tote of items on my table. There are so many fun goodies and die cuts that I have received over the years from friends and family but I found they were not getting used. So I made it my goal to put them all in 4 totes and I am now down to about a half a tote. These patches were in that tote and they make some fun cards for friends that are sports fans.

I used CAS56 - It's Hip to Be Square! (3/1/10)

This cute image was sent to me in a Teapot Tuesday exchange.

I had this great card base from doing a slimline card and it was perfect for doing the Hip to be Square challenge. I cut down my image to a square and added the red shiny layer under the image.

Week of 8/22/20 cards

 




FS706 - This weeks incredibly talented Featured Stamper, Elizabeth, better known around here as palparis. I am always amazed at her cards and she is the queen of making more than one card for many occasions. Congratulations Elizabeth, I love your gallery.

I found this cute CARD.

I loved how she stamped the daisy several times across the bottom.

Rather than a Daisy I used this cute brook from DRS Designs and stamped it several times then colored it with copics. I cut the layers down and added this fantastic sentiment.

If the Shoe Fits...



CAS599 - make a card with something that makes you smile. For me it is my family and this card is for my hubby for our anniversary.

I stamped the lips with versamark and added red embossing powder to them. Next I added the mole and finished with the sentiment.

On the inside it says "Today and Forever".

This is the best sentiment for my hubby for our anniversary.

There are 2 Times...



MMTPT630 - Dig Deep!

USEIT2020 - This teapot and cup were in my tote of items to get used up this year. The Teaser Teapot was blue and reminded me of this teapot in my tote to get used.

Stamped the sentiment and punched out a small tag.

Cut the paper layers and added ribbon. Popped the teapot and cup layer up om dimensionals and tucked the tag under the teapot.

Blue Teapot



WT806 - Corner Rounder

USEIT2020 - Fox

Super quick card trying to use up this fox image from my tote of items. I cut the end off the 4.25 x 5.5 card base and added DP to the end. On the top I added a layer of kraft paper and rounded the corners of the base and the kraft layer.

I added the fox from my tote and finished with nuvo drops, a button and bakers twine.

Week of 8/15/20 Cards

FS705 - the amazingly talented Featured Stamper is Kelly (sunstamper). Her gallery is full of wonderful inspiration. I found this CARD and immediately thought of a tic tac toe board.

Many years ago when my son was little my mother in law use to send him cards and letters that included fun things for him to play with. This would have been something she would have put together for mailing to him.

I stamped the images on green and orange paper and die cut them. Then I used Chip board in the middle pieces to add some strength to them and layered the greens and oranges on the bottom. I cut strips of black paper and created the tic tac toe board and stamped the sentiment.

I attached the pieces with tape runner so they can easily come off the card to play a game.


Ghouls Just Wanna Have Fun!

CAS598 - Balloons

Die cut the congratulations and numbers. Embossed the white card base and added bakers twine to the balloons.

Finished off with some sequins.


Congrats 2020


MMTPT629 - CHEER

C - Chartreuse, Carrot
H - Hare
E - Embellishments
R - Rust, Rose Pink

This image was sent to me in a Teapot Tuesday exchange. I colored it with pencils and cut the layers. The Hello die was also sent to me in an exchange and it was white. I used a copic to color it pink to match the card.

Hello Bunny

WT805 - Cling Wrap

I used the cling wrap technique for the rainbow background. I put rainbow colors on the cling wrap and spritzed water then added the watercolor paper to soak up the colors.

Once dry I stamped the paw prints and sentiment and finished with a die cut dog on dimensionals.

Rainbow Bridge

F4A547 - You've got a friend

This Billiard table was hand drawn by me then I uploaded it and digitized it so I can use it again in the future,

This is going to my "little brother". My brother has been best friends with his friend James for so long that I now call James my little brother. Even when talking to my family I will say our little brother and everyone knows I mean James.

I drew the image then uploaded it and cleaned it up on my computer creating a digital image. Printed it out and colored with copics.

Next I cut the layers and stamped the birthday sentiment using the DRS Designs birthday sentiment.

Hand Drawn Birthday

 IC767 - Garden Fence Inspiration where I found this cute Fence


USEIT2020 - When I saw the inspiration I found I still have this Heartfelt Creations card kit that I need to use up. They came stamped and cut and I just needed to color, shape and layer.

Colored the flowers, leaves and flamingos. Shaped and sponged the layers. Glued and added dimensionals. Finished with stickles.
