Snowy Day

This is totally a card that I copied from the Lawn Fawn site.  The stamp set is the new Snowy Day by Lawn Fawn.  I did not use the dies that go with so did some fussy cut on the trees and rabbits.  I stamped five trees on white card stock in two shades of green.  A Piece of Vellum (cut 1/4 inch smaller than card base) was placed over that with Merry and Bright gold heat embossed and a few snowflakes.  Five more trees were cut for the front.  A snowbank was added with the Lawn Fawn Stitched Hillside dies.  The snow bank was cut 1/4 inch shorter than the Vellum and about 1 1/2 inch tall.  The rabbits were colored using Copic markers and pop dotted onto the card along with a couple of the trees.  This was a fun card to copy and one I plan to make more of.   Hope you enjoy.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

The Mojo Monday Challenge 359 is what I used for the inspiration on this card.  The sketch is posted below.  The paper used on this card is from Doodlebug.  These pieces are all from the Sugar Shoppe collection.  The "happy" was cut using a Wplus9 die and Stickles was used to make it sparkle.  The banner was stamped with a Jillian Vance Designs "Basically Birthday" word.  The ink used was Versafine and then clear embossed. The circle was cut using the new Spellbiner pierced circles.  The flower is from the stash bucket and Stickles was added.  The flower was placed on top of twine.  A fun card to make.  Hope you enjoy.

Happy Holidays in the summer

For You

A quick post to share a card I made a few weeks ago.  The stamp set is from Taylored Expressions.  I used Memento black ink and Copic markers, a little twine, and mounted the 5.25 x 4 white cardstock on a patterned paper.  Hope you enjoy

Your Day

Spellbinders has released a Celebra'tions line and this stamp "Your Day" has this cute little elephant and a turtle on it.  I needed a card for a special "5" year old and purchased this stamp for that purpose.  This is not the card I made her, but one cased from the packaging.  The paper and gems are from Doodlebug .  The image was colored with Copic markers (C3, C0, C5, YG03, YR31, B41, 97, V22) and glossy accents was added to the eye.  Spellbinders pierced rectangle dies were used to cut this card.   A twine bow finishes off the card.  Hope you enjoy.

The Little Things

Sharing a pretty simple card.  I found inspiration for this on the internet and changed it up some to make it my own.  I started by by stamping my image on a paper cut4 x 5.25 using the Taylored Expressions "The little Things". The next step was to cut an oval using masking paper to fit over the stamped image.  Using Antique Linen distress ink the paper was distressed and the mask removed so the image could be colored.  The sentiment was added next and the card was then mounted on the white card base to form an A2 card.    Simple.  Hope you enjoy

Non-Traditional Christmas in July

JustRite is hosting a non-traditional Christmas card challenge  (here) and this is my take on it. Roses are not what we think of as being a Christmas flower and dark backgrounds are rare. 

 The card base is white folded size 4.75 x 6.  Bazzill red was cut to 4.5 x 5.75 to form the base for the JustRite " Holly Garlands Background".  JudiKins "Rustique Weathered Iron" was to used to heat emboss the background which was then distressed with "Peeled Paint".  JustRite "Rose Bouquets Vintage Labels" was stamped on white and colored with Copic markers (YG93, YG 95, R 27, R29) and then cut with a Spellbinder oval die with a final touch of distress ink on the edge.  The sentiment believe is from the same stamp set as the roses, masked to remove the words "in miracles" then cut cut and distressed with the peeled paint.  A silk ribbon from the stash was tied with all cut outs being popped.

Winter Wonderland

This very simple card to make uses Taylored Expressions "Winter Wonderland".  I found the idea on the internet for the card.  The card is made with watercolor paper.  The first step is to ink  a stamping block with Faded Jeans and mist with water then stamp.  Each card you make will have a little different look.  A snowflake was stamped with faded jeans over the watercolor, while another was stamped on white with the same ink and cut out with the coordinating die.  The cut out snowflake was popped and placed on top of the image on the card base.  The sentiment was stamped with Versafine then clear heat embossed.  Hope you enjoy

Baptism

 

I needed a Baptism card for a special little boy and this is what I decided on.  The card base is Bazzill blue with a layer of Bazzill white.  The blue with tiny words "Baptism" is from Scrapbook Customs and cut with a Spellbinder die.  The cross was cut in two sizes again with a Spellbinder die.  The gems are from Hero Arts and the Sentiment is from a set by JustRite.  Hope you enjoy

Wedding wishes

Everyone needs Wedding cards this time of the year so I am on a mission to get some done.  This is a top fold card cut 4.5 wide by 11 inches.  The paper was scored at 5.5.  The DP is from Echo Park :Just Married and was cut 4 x 5.25.  The sentiment from J Villian Vance Designs "Vine Wedding Cross" was stamped on white cut 1.75 x 4 and mounted on a black cut 2 x 4.  The sentiment was stamped with black Versafine and clear embossed.  A white silk bow finishes off this card.  Hope you enjoy.
