Week of 12/12/20 Cards

 

WT822 - Song Inspired

Every year my sister asks for school bus cards for Christmas. This year I added this fun elf driving the bus, I cut the layers to the bus and shaped them. Then added dimensionals and white gel pen to add to the bus.

I finished with the sentiment and some snow flakes from my desk.

The Wheels on the Bus...

MMTPT646 - up-lifting cards

This was super quick stamped the plane, popped up on dimensionals and added the map layer. Finished off with the sentiment.

Thinking of You

CC821 - Pumpkin Pie, Silver, Bermuda Bay

I am trying to get caught up on some cards for the pet shop and today's colors are perfect for a couple of congratulations cards.

I stamped 2 different dogs and masked them. Next I sponged the wall and floor with 2 of the colors. I removed the mask and colored the dogs.

Congratulations

CAS615 - Sweater

CCC20DEC - Anything Goes

I love all the fun sweaters at Christmas and when I saw this tree from DRS Designs I just had to make a sweater card.

I stamped the tree on white and colored it with copics then fussy cut it.

Next I used some of the punched snowflakes from my desk and then embossed the red with the snowflakes and tree. I trimmed the sweater with some crimped red and added some pearls.

Ugly Sweater


FS722 - This weeks incredibly talented Featured Stamper is Gayle aka gl1253. I love her wonderful gallery. This CARD inspired me today

My brother is a manager at a local mom and pop trucking company. Their staff has been super busy during the pandemic and the company wanted to reward their drivers for going above and beyond. My brother asked if I could make 20 thank you cards and the only thing he requested is they be neutral as most of the drivers are guys. Gayle's card was perfect inspiration.

I found a paper pad of black and white prints and cut down the pad for the cards. I liked the white strip across the front of Gayle's card so I kept that and added the sentiment From DRS Designs to that strip. 20 cards done in less than an hour perfect for my brother's co-workers.


DEC20VSNA - alcohol

I did copic coloring and used the flicking technique to color the hair and hey on this cute image.

Printed the image and colored with copics. Cut the layers and glued.

Peace on Earth
DEC20VSNB - Window card featuring hearts

The card base was sponged in the colors of the rainbow. Then I cut paws out across the black layer creating a window to the rainbow base. I finished with the sentiment banner and a punched red heart and stickles.

Rainbow Paws
DEC20VSNC - black water color challenge

I heat embossed leaves from a Heartfelt Creations set and water colored them. Heat embossed the sentiment and popped the panel on dimensionals.

Happy Birthday
DEC20VSND - helping hands

My helping hands are a band needing each member to help play the music

I masked the base layer with a circle then sponged yellow, orange and grey to get the spotlight feel to the card.

Once the background was created I added this great die cut from Anne (jdmommy).

Jazz it Up

I followed the directions for the Cake Box found HERE. The flower was in my stash of items to use up and worked great with this DP and the lace was on my desk waiting to be used.

This was a super quick card using a card kit from Heartfelt creations. They came stamped and cut. I colored all the flowers, leaves and cardinals with copics. I sponged the edges of the layers and layered the scene in the center opening of the card.

The layers were added using dimensionals and the images were finished with prills and stickles.

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.

Candle
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.

Celebrate
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.

When I saw the boat I immediately thought of this cute new boat from DRS Designs.

I stamped this boat and then masked it. I then stamped the calendar behind it and the Happy Retirement sentiment.

Next I colored the image and added a red box and a number. I finished with some stickles to the water and the wood arrows.

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.


CAS613 - Thanksgiving

I stamped the images and sentiment and colored with copics.

Die cut the wonky boarder die and layered on green CS.

To those celebrating Thanksgiving this week...My wish for you is to have a wonderful, blessed Thanksgiving.

All hand drawn using a black pen. I started by masking the section I wanted to do the Zentangle. Then I just started doodling the daisies and adding the details. I finished with the hand written Hello.

Hello

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.

Merry Christmoose

F4A562 - Food

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

This cute image was sent to me in an exchange so I am not sure who makes the image.

I colored it with pencils. I then cut an egg shape out of a white card stock and popped it on dimensionals.

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

Happy Easter

IC782 - Traditions where I found this great Set of Carolers

This image was on my table of images to use up. My goal next year is to use up the huge stack of images on my table. I am getting a head start with organizing them and trying to use one image a week now.

Super fast card, I cut the layers and stamped the sentiment.

Next I grabbed a pile of flowers that I had already stamped and added some yellows and orange to them and shaped and layered them.

I colored some leaves with greens and shaped them and layered them under the flowers.

I added an already cut lace paper layer and tied a ribbon on.

Finished with the sentiment, prills and stickles.

2020BLITZ6 - Nugget Snowman

This is super cute! I can see making a few of these and putting them in the Diamond Ornaments and to gift to nursing homes. I am going to see if a local scout troop wants to make these for a donation.

I used paper and wrapped it around the candy and glued it. Then I hand drew in the face and used an old glove that had a hole in it for the hat. I tucked a piece of punched branch in the hat.

Nugget Snowman


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.
