Bella and Teddy

I love elephants and my daughter loves teddy bears. So this card is for her. She was just in a car accident, she is ok, but I thought I'd send her a card.

The image is from Wildrose Studio. The brown base is a paper from Target. The other two dp's are from bobunny. I put dots in the black dots in the middle of the scallops. The bow is done with two different ribbons tied together.

2015 Calendar

Now that half the year is gone I have finally finished my 2015 calendar. I've been using it but just didn't have all the pages done. Many other projects were finished in the meantime, including another calendar that I forgot to take pictures of before I sent it off to my friend. :(

The image is an old one from the defunct Angel Company.

The calendar I found on line. I didn't keep track of the url though. 

 Penny Black

Oh dear. I can't find where I put the stamp. It's an old one though.

The calendar base is from a picture holder that I got from JoAnn Fabrics.

Hope you enjoyed.

Camo Graduate

I made this card for a guy who enjoys the outdoors. 

Edwin is colored with copics and his gown and cap are paper pieced. Everything but the card itself and the camo paper were scraps I found around my desk. I need to use more scraps. The triangle is dry embossed in a wood design from Tim Holtz, I think. I added that after I had finished the card because it was too rectangular. The die cut is from spellbinders and has a black nailhead sticker in the middle. Hope you enjoy.

Rain

I found this die by memory box at my local stamp store and knew I just had to have it because I have many rain related stamps. Here is the first of many cards to be made with it.

There was a challenge over at the Stubby Stampers yahoo group to use purple, blue and yellow. The stamps are all from stubby stampers. The birds are all stamped on a yellow polka dot paper and accented with copic markers. The cut outs are all accented with stickles as are the center of the flowers which are from prima. I wrote the saying around the border. In case you can't read it it says "Life is not waiting for the storm to pass.. it's dancing in the rain!!!I'm entering this card at Your Scrapbook Place challenge anything goes here.

Enjoy your rain days!

Precious Gift

I usually don't make cards with just words but tonight I did to try out some new supplies I just got at my local stamp store.

The water colors are done with Peerless water colors on water color paper. The top layer is white paper glued onto 2mm foam and then cut out with a nestabilities die cut. The words are from Stubby Stampers. The little feet are a punch. A ribbon adds just the right touch and also hides where I didn't make the paper/foam quite wide enough in one spot. lol There are no mistakes!

Fun and easy!

Bundle of Joy

Don't you just love new babies? Maybe everyone doesn't but I do. I love kids of all ages. They can be a handful at times but always a heartfull. And as I have a new granddaughter this is perfect. With that in mind here is my latest card.

The image is from Stubby Stampers here. The image is colored with copics. The little bit of pink around the image is a die cut from www.mftstamps.com. The yellow is a die cut from spelllbinders. I don't know where the patterned paper is from - no name on the back. The flowers are from miscellaneous companies. The flowers have rhinestones for centers and around the edges. There are some above the words as well. I may have to do this image for a boy as well just for fun.

Hope you enjoy!

All that Jazz

My son-in-law plays the saxophone so this card was made with him in mind.

I had recently seen a card using Kraft paper and white and knew it would work well for this image. It is embossed with white diamond embossing powder. The "Kraft" paper is a printed card stock I got at Target. The image itself was stamped on the wrong side of the printed card stock. The image is from Stubby Stampers. They have soooo... many great stamps. The piece of ribbon is left over from a Christening dress I made for my granddaughter. You just never know what you are going to use or need for a card.

 

Americana 2

I can now announce to the world that I am on the design team for Stubby Stampers. They have 4000+ timeless images.

Here is the card I created to celebrate.

The images were stamped and then a sheet of scor-tape was put over them. Silk microfine glitter (warm diamond) by Elizabeth was spread over the images.The images were colored with Zig markers. They are pretty cool as they have two colors on each end of the same marker. The dp is from basic grey. The flags are done with washi tape and wrapped around scrapper's floss.
Here is a close-up of the images:

Hope you enjoy! I certainly enjoy and appreciate your comments.

Americana

I just got some stamps from Stubby Stampers, so of course I had to play.

As these are rather small stamps I decided to use colored pencils to color then added some stickles to each one. There is a red layer die cut around each image and then the blue. The die cut is from spellbinders. I thought the corners needed to be rounded instead of square like the die cut. I added some bows in the fourth square. You can find the stamp set here. I will be doing some more cards with this stamp set as there are lots of stamps on this sheet.

Princess

Here is another stamp I hadn't used before. I won this one and wasn't sure I was crazy about it but it worked up so cute. 

This Princess Tilda is colored with copics and paper pieced. The crown is gold paper with stardust stickles and pink stickles for the jewels on top. The dress also has stickles at the hem of the dress and the sleeves. The candy dots have stickles added to them as well. Got to have lots of glitter. lol The burgundy frame is done with spellbinders.  The corners of the white paper are punched with a mcgill punch, I think. The flower in the corner is from Magnolia. I took a couple of layers off because I though it was a bit big. I threaded the ribbon through the lace. The dp is from a 6 x 6 basic grey paper pad.

Hope you enjoy.
