Week of 12/5/20 Cards

 

WT821 - Over the Top

This image was in my stack of images that have been sent to me over the years. I am working my way through that stack trying to color them up and get them on cards.

I colored it with pencils and cut down the card base so that when it sits on the card it still is A2 size.

I added the DP and added the sentiment over the image and finished with gold bakers twine and gems.

Merry Christmas

MMTPT645 - Oh Look Kitties

USEIT2020 - Butterfly

This kitty came in a pack of cat papers and is perfect for today's teapot recipient. I cut the papers, punched out the kitty image and popped up on dimensionals. I finished with this dimensional butterfly from my tote of items I am trying to use up.

CAS614 - What's on TV (We love watching the show Alone, so much scenery and wildlife)

This was super quick stamp layering with The Ton stamps and sponged the sky.

Alone

FS721 - this weeks incredibly gifted Featured Stamper is Melissa aka javagirl984. Her gallery will inspire so much creativity. I found this super cute Card.

I love the wonderful floral base on her card. I took off the bird and ribbon. For my card I stamped the flowers a few times from DRS Designs and colored with copics in pinks. I then stamped the sentiment and added gems rather than brads.

Love & Laughter

F4A563 - Bring Out The Old

USEIT2020 - Green die cut layers

CCC20DEC - Anything goes

This Heartfelt Creations candle is one of my oldest images from their collections. These two were actually stamped and sent to me and in my pile of images that I hope to get many used up next year as the pile is really quite large.

The green layers were in my tote of items to use up. They were actually larger than the image so I cut out the center section and pieced them back together behind the candle image.

I matted with DP and added poinsettias and pearls. The image and poinsettias are finished off with stickles.

MIX410 - Reduce, Reuse, Recycle!

USEIT2020 - Beer Wrapper

My DH wanted to know if I could use the wrappers from his beer cans on a card. Of course! He has been taking them off cans for a while and I had 6 of them in my craft room for a very long time. Time to get them used up!

I cut down the wrappers and layered on black CS. I die cut the dragons, shaped them and added a metallic rub on to the dragons adding dimensions to the dragons. I then die cut a couple of yellow circles and added dimensionals to the top circle and sponged the edge of the circles with yellow ink to add interest to them.

I stamped Happy birthday and happy anniversary to the cards so I could use them for a few occasions.

Dragons & Beer

CC820 - gorgeous grape, highland heather, balmy blue

USEIT2020 - Heartfelt Creations card kit

I am trying to use up the last of the Heartfelt Creations card kits I have in my stash and this one is perfect for today's colors.

I sponged the edge of the layers and glued down. Next I colored the images with copics and layered adding some shaping and dimensionals.

The card was finished off with stickles.

IC783 - JRL Interiors where I found this great Wood Panel

When I think of getting a new home I think of all the projects that go in to a new home. My last house before we moved in we had to strip all the wood floors and restain them. What a job that was to do an entire house that was all wood floors.

For this card I stamped the Kraft layer with the DRS Wood Grain stamp and then embossed it with a wood emboss folder.

I stamped the Just Moved key and colored it with copics.

I cut the layers and found this measuring tape, washi tape and added it with a few flowers.

Just Moved

The base is white pigment ink through a wave stencil. Happy Retirement

WT820 - tags - gift tags for Christmas or any other tag idea

USEIT2020 - While going through my tote of items I am trying to use up this year I came across all of these die cut papers and they were too small for a full size card so I added them to this tag and added dimensionals.

CC819 - Pool Party, Poppy Parade & Shaded Spruce

USEIT2020 - Tree

This image was on my table to be used and I just needed to add the pool party to the card to meet today's colors. I found this already done wax resist and added it to the card. Additionally I needed to use up this die cut tree from my tote of items so I added it and put it on dimensionals. Since the card base I had was less than 4.25 x 5.5 I was able to use the image and have it hang over the top of the card.

I love having a couple of eggs in the mornings. I prefer them hard boiled as I can grab them and go.

I added a pink card layer and finished with a flower from my stash.

Happy Easter

MMTPT643 - Books

While trying to figure out what book would inspire me I was sitting in my craft room looking at my new stamps and saw this jeans BG stamp and just had to see what books are about Jeans. I came across one called Jesus in Jeans. Now I need to go get this book. What a great title.

I heat embossed the jeans in white on blue to get a stone washed effect. Then I stamped the sentiment and added to the card.

Week of 11/14/20 Cards

 

FS718 - This weeks incredibly talented Featured Stamper is Jane (janemom) She has an incredible gallery full of inspiration. I found this Gorgeous Card

Recently I have been going through my stack of stamped images trying to get them colored and on cards. I pulled out all the Christmas images and started with those first so I can use them for my cards this year. My goal for 2021 will be to get those images colored and work toward getting them used up.

I grabbed this image out of the pile of colored images when I saw Jane's Card. I changed the layout and did not add the additional framing. I popped my image up on dimensionals and added gold sequins like she had on her card.

Christmas Baubles

USEIT2020 - Paperclip

I created this 4 in 1 collage background using a few different images from different companies and some fun bright colors. I needed to make some welcome cards for my friend's little pet shop and thought some fun pet stamps would be great for the technique.

I also used a paw print stencil for some added happy yellow and matted the fun background on yellow.

I finished with this dog paper clip that is in my tote of items to use up.

Doggone Sweet

I printed out the template and used a white gel pen to draw in my gingerbread houses. So much fun to just sit and draw.

Believe it or not I don't own a ton of washi tape. I do have tons of paper scraps and I am happy to use them where I might need a bit of washi tape. That being said I did find some on the site today that I might just need to get. LOL!

I needed to get a few welcome cards made for the little pet shop that I donate my cards. I used all of the dog images from the stampendous set and colored them all with copics. I then cut the panels down on an angle with the die cut and added to the card bases.
