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.

Cabin

I'm trying to use some of my stamps that I have never used before. Some days I buy quicker than I have time to use them. :)

This is another stubby stampers stamp http://www.stubbystampers.com/shopping/stamps/scenes.htm The image appears to be a winter scene but I made it into a spring or summer as I am tired of winter. I love winter but it is time for it to go.  The image is colored with copics. The moon has clear wink of Stella on it and the stars are done with yellow stickles. I wrote the word blessings by had using a white pen. I added a bit of white pen to the roof as well and then colored it over again with Y00. 

I enjoy reading your comments.

Cupcake

I bought this stamp because I needed a few more stamps to make it worth the shipping charges. When I stamped it to make the card I thought "wow" I really do like this stamp. lol

A little bit of ribbon and some star brads are the embellishments.

The die cuts are from spellbinders.

Green Mouse Mug

Here is card the card for the day.

The house mouse is colored with prismacolor pencils. The mug is done with Zig Memory Systems Brushables markers and prismacolor pencils. The center of the mug is a large brad with part of a gold doily and then a gold nailhead sticker on top. That is also the same embellishments on the side. The dp is from Authentique.

Make a Wish

I have been working on some calendars but haven't finished them so haven't posted in a while. On facebook I was challenged to do 5 cards in 5 days so here is the first.

The stamp is from Cat's Meow that is no longer in existence :(. I stamped it on a basic grey tag. The flower has stickles on it. The flag is done with  a die cut - can't remember which company - then I wrote happy birthday on it. I put a bead in the middle of the tag hole The little dodad by the bow is from a broken piece of jewelry. 

Hopefully, I'll see you tomorrow.

Nurse Tilda

A good friend of mine isn't feeling well so out came Nurse Tilda to help her feel better.

Nurse is colored in copics - almost a given anymore. The shape around her is done with spellbinders and traced on the inside with a black gel pen. The dp is bo bunny for the aqua and the peach is authentique. The flowers are prima flowers with brads in the centers. The pearls are woven around the flowers and adhered with glue dots. A big organza ribbon is tied into a bow. The spellbinders die cut at the bottom has a gold nailhead sticker in the middle. 

Hope this card adds a little joy to your life too.

Edwin Seeking Polar Bears

It's been a while since I created much. December flew by. I did make a few new Christmas cards but I needed to get them out so quickly I didn't even take any pictures. Bad me, I know. However, it is a new year and time to make cards again. 

My son's birthday is tomorrow so this card is for him. He always liked polar bears and these bears from Magnolia are just too cute. David is a ranger at a Boy Scout camp so this mini Edwin made me think of him. Everything is colored with copics. The dp is from basic grey. Most of the edges are roughed up with a distressing tool. The snow is Scribbles iridescent white. The wooden ornaments are from Target. The snowflakes have stardust stickles on them. The trees were colored with green a Marvy inkpad and have the Scribbles applied. I added a ribbon and bow to complete the card. 

Hope you like your card, David, and Happy Birthday.

Miss Kitty

My almost 2 granddaughter loves cats, so this is for her.

Her mother, my daughter, has her room done in pink and black so that is why I chose this color scheme. The paper is bobunny. The ribbon and flowers are from Target's One Spot section. The die cuts are from memory box and nestabilities. The image is from is Amanda from http://www.mosdigitalpencil.com/ and is colored with copics. Stickles are added to the butterflies which are cut from basic grey paper.
