Floral and Fauna

This card is made on watercolor paper using Distress Markers and WPlus 9's Floral and Fauna stamp and dies.  After wetting the image well the ink was picked up from a craft mat with a water brush.  A variety of colors were used to obtain the right effect..  The hummingbird is the only image that was die cut.  Hope you enjoy.

For you Valentine

I cased this off Pinterest so can not take full credit.  I made the envelope using a craft paper and the WeR Memory envelope punch.  It is 2 x2 in size so had to do some adjustment with the cut.  The tag is from Spellbinders and the stamp is Avery Elle, while the hearts are from Memory Box.  The paper I selected for this card is from Doodlebug.  Hope you enjoy.

Happy Greetings

It is always nice to give a Happy Greeting and Stampendous has a sentiment set with that title that works for many occasions.  The flowers are "Day in autumn" from Penny Black and white heat embossed on a Bazzil green then mounted on silver to a white card base.  The heart was cut from red mirror paper with a Memory Box die.  A few black gems were added.  Very simple so hope you enjoy.

Finished Album

The cover is finished and pages added to the Holiday Album.  Pictured below are some of the pages put into this book.

As posted previously:  The base is a Snap 6x8 with a black binder.  The die is from Memory Box and was cut in three colors of mirror paper: red, green and gold.  A Spellbinders oval was used to make the frame.  The first cut was in paper from Simple Stories DIY Christmas.  The candles were glued onto the actual cover of the album but framed in the red mirror paper.  The sentiment is Tim Holtz "Handwritten Holidays 2" was embossed in gold.  There are several other pages that go in this album but they are similar to the ones pictured.  Hope you enjoy as this was fun to make.

Album work in progress

Not a card this time (but thinking this could be one in the future), but the cover to a Christmas Album.  Just a note to say the bow is not done in this picture as it does look a little unfinished.  The base is a Snap 6x8 with a black binder.  The die is from Memory Box and was cut in three colors of mirror paper: red, green and gold.  A Spellbinders oval was used to make the frame.  The first cut was in paper from Simple Stories DIY Christmas.  The candles were glued onto the actual cover of the album but framed in the red mirror paper.  The sentiment is Tim Holtz "Handwritten Holidays 2" was embossed in gold.  A start now just to do the inside.  Not sure if this ribbon is  staying yet or not.  Will keep you updated as I add more to the book.  Hope you enjoy

Happy Holiday's

As we enter this festive week (and a busy one) I would like to wish all my blog friends a Very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

Christmas greetings

A quick and simple post for another holiday card idea.  This is a  5.5 square card with two smaller squares.  The edges of the two smaller squares were rubbed on a Versa Mark embossing pad and gold powder added, then heat set.  The greeting was from one of many in the holiday stamp stash.  After the card was put together a purchased poinsettia was added to finish off the card.  Hope you enjoy

Merry Christmas

Something about this card reminds me of a picture that would hang on a wall.  The dies used for this card are from Taylored Expressions.  The blue, green and white paper are Bazzil.  The  blue was mounted on a silver then to the white card base.  The sentiment can be from any set that you like
and it was stamped in black.  A fairly quick card to make.  I did use my Vagabond to cut the dies for this card.  Hope you enjoy.

Edit:  Taylored Expression dies:  Evergreen  and  Seasonal trees

Happy Winter

This card started with 6 x6 paper pack from Lawn Fawn.  The snow is made with Lawn Fawn stitched hillside cut about 1 1/2 by 4 placed on a background cut 4 x 5.25.  This is an A2card.  The trees are from Impression Obsession.  The birds from the same die set were colored with a red marker.  the cute bunnies are from Lawn Fawn and colored with copic markers.  Hope you enjoy

Season Greetings

Want a quick card.  Use several dies and you have a card.  This simple card was made with a Santa die from Taylored Expressions.  The trees could be from any set, but these are Lawn Fawn as is the stitched hill side.  Add a greeting and position your trees.  The paper is Desert Storm and scraps from the holiday stash.  Santa is cut from white.  Simple.  Hope you enjoy.
