In the snow

This very cute stamp is a Penny Black Slapstick "...in the snow".  The sentiment is from another Penny Black set "Christmas Cheer".  The image was stamped on Neenah paper with Memento black and colored with Copic markers.  (N1, N6, BG 11, BG12, E41, E00, B0000, R20, R11 and YG11).  The stamped image was cut with a Spellbinders Label 1 and distressed with Ranger "Evergreen Bough".  A gelly roll silver pen was used to highlight the snowflakes.  A white paper cut 4.5 x 5.75 was embossed with the Sizzix folder "Dots" and distress was lightly added to the dots.  The sentiment was stamped and embossed with the same folder.  The tag was then sprayed with perfect pearls.  A May Arts white ribbon was distressed with the "Evergreen Bough" to help finish off the card.  Hope you enjoy.

Christmas Cheer

A very simple card made for the Online Holiday Card Class.  All print papers are from the Authentique "Wonder" 6 x 6 pack.  The finished card is a 4.25 x 5.5, but the front was cut to 3.25 x 5.5.  . The tree was cut with the Cricut "Winters in the Air Holiday" cartridge and gems "Twinkle Goosebumps: by Queen and Co. were added.  A 2.75 x 5.5 strip of Bazzill red was embossed with the Sizzix folder "Christmas Words" which was placed on top of the other DP papers. The tree was placed with pop dots on top of the embossed piece, but extends over the edge.   A 1" x 5.5" strip of the stripe paper was attached to the inside of the card.  Another print from the pack was cut with the Spellbinder Edgeabilities "Classic Petal" and attached under the embossed paper.  Another paper from the pack was attached on the left side of the card to finish off the project.  Hope you enjoy.

Peace, Love and Joy

The inspiration for this came from Kristina Werner in the Online "Holiday Card Class" that I am taking.  The sentiment piece is from the TPC "Winter Collage" set that I previously used.  It was embossed in white and then distressed with Ranger Distress Ink "Festive Berries"   A tag was cut from Authentique 6x6 pad as was the scalloped circle.  A Twine bow finished off the tag portion of the card.  The card base is Kraft paper as is the 4 x 5.25  piece layered on it.  The layered piece was stamped with snowflakes from Cover Card with a Versa Mark embossing pad.  A We R Memory 1/2 inch corner rounder was used to finish the piece.  A nice simple card.  Hope ou enjoy

Let it snow

A card that is modeled after one in the Online Holiday Card class that I signed up for designed by Jennifer McGuire.  Not sure the way this is made I will mass produce it or not for the holiday.  I used Antique Linen to distress around the snowflakes and it did not look right so I did the rest of the card.  The snowflakes are stamped with Distress inks:  Evergreen Bough and Iced Spruce.  I added gems from Kaiser and BoBunny to the center of the flakes.  The stamp set used for the snowflakes and sentiment are from TPC "Winter Collage".  I used my Scor-Buddy to scor the lines that form the ridge above and below the sentiment.  I then added a silver gel pen to highlight the scored area.  A very simple card.  Hope you enjoy

Happy Holiday

A simple card design using Bazzill paper, A sentiment from the JustRite Holiday word set, a stamp from Prickley Pear and copic Markers.  Select two shades of red and green to color the stamped image.  (I misplaced my notes on this card so can not say exactly which markers I used).   The sentiment was stamped with Versa mark and Tinsel glitter was used.  This was a card for my summer holiday card class an done I plan to make more of for this holiday..  Hope you enjoy

SPOOKY

I have a few special Halloween treats to give and that is what inspired this post.  I started with a tube purchased at my LSS and SRM stickers.  Each tube will have a slightly different looking depending on what stickers are used.  The stickers are at the top below the cap and the bottom of the tube.   I then filled them with fall M&M's.  The tag is from  Inkssentials and was sprayed with water followed by Forest Moss, Rusty Hinge and Tea Dye Distress stains.  I then misted the tag again and blotted off the extra water.  When it had tried I stamped an image using "Skeleton Poem" by Stampendous using Ranger archival black ink.  Gold eyes using Kasier gems finished the skeleton.  It would not be spooky without adding a spider crawling down to the skeleton.  The spider was cut using a Memory Box die.  A orange and black ribbon hold the tag to the tube.  Hope you enjoy.

Happy Halloween

Happy Halloween.  Isn't this stamp from Penny Black the cutest.  This is "bat cat" and it was colored with Copic Markers (C0, C1, C3,G46, R20, FYG1, V17, YR16, YR18) and hand cut.  This was mounted on paper from BoBunny Apple Cider 6 x 6 pad.  The bats were cut with a Memory Box die.  I cheated and the Happy Halloween is a sticker from SMR Stickers.  I added Glossy Accents to the stems on each pumpkin and the eyes of the cat.  A piece of twine finishes off the card.  I decided to enter this in My Sheri Crafts challenge.  This is an A2 card.  Hope you Enjoy.

Holiday Cheer

This card was made for the JustRite Friday Challenge #083  "Threes Company".  The card is a 5.5 square which worked best with all of the dies used.  I used four different papers from the paper pad all that coordinate very well.  The background and ornament are a solid.  Three different prints were used for the rest of the card.  This goes into the stash for the upcoming Christmas Holiday.   Hope you enjoy

Supplies:
Stamp:  JustRite Noel Christmas Ornament
Dies:  Spellbinder-Create a Flake Four;  Spellbinder/JustRite-Antique Labels One:  Spellbinder Heirloom Ornament 2010

Petal Party Two

This card was made using the Penny Black " Petal Party" .  I am not going to take the full credit for the design.  I did see a card  that inspired this.   All you need is some White Cardstock, embossing ink and powder and in this case some Memento pads.  I cut a strip about 2 x 5.5 and stamped my flower and leaves on it with Versa Mark and then added white embossing powder which was then heat set. The card is 4.25 x 5.5.   I did do one flower separate so I could cut it and pop it on the card.  I used Memento Morocco and New Sprout to distress my stamped strip.  The flower was distressed with the Morocco ink and a Rich Cocoa marker was used to color the center.  Remember to white the image off after distressing to clean up the embossing.  The sentiment was stamped with archival black ink to complete the card.  A very quick and simple card to make.  Hope  you enjoy
