Be Merry

Hello!

Well Chemistry is over!!! Know its a waiting game to see what the final grade is!! Today i'm on the Art Impressions blog with Christmas card. I can't believe its next week! Yikes, i haven't even made my personal Christmas cards!! Hopefully i'll get time by the end of the week!! 

My card features the Clear Stamp set Reindeer that you can find at your local Micheal's. I started by stamping the lady with reindeer antlers and colored her with my Spectrum Noir markers. Then i fussy cut her out. 

Next i used a whole bunch of these strip stickers and added them to a white card base at an angle. I cut a strip of white card stock and stamped the Be Merry Sentiment. This was placed across the card. 

Then i used two oval dies to make an oval frame from black card stock. I placed my reindeer lady behind the oval, using liquid glue to make adhere her and then just rimmed off her legs that were too long for the oval.

I placed her on my card back with foam tape and last added a few black enamel dots.

Thanks so much for stopping by!!

We Wish You

Hello!!

Today i have a non holiday, springy card for you!! I mean why not, 66 degrees around here i might as well!!! LOL But not to worry it's supposed to snow Friday!! Haha!!

Anyway i'm on The Alley Way Stamps blog today and my card features the Happy Everything stamp set, The set has every holiday and lots of special occasions! Figured it was a great way to pair the Easter stamp with some Easter stickers!

I first die cut some purple pattern paper and stamped the most of the sentiment on it, then i added it to a Kraft card base with foam tape. Next i added a cute little bunny, flowers and scroll stickers to the fancy rectangle.

Below the fancy rectangle i stamped Easter, directly on the Kraft. As a final touch i added a tiny flower next to the stamped Easter!

Thanks so much for stopping by!!

Warm Wishes

Hello!!

I'm popping in quick with a card i made for the Holiday Coffee Lovers Blog Hop! My card is a bit more winter then holiday, but it makes me want some hot chocolate!! Yum!!

I started with Waffle Flowers Warm Wishes stamp set and stamped the mug on some polka dot pattern paper. I fussy cut it out and colored in the liquid with a brown marker. Next i stamped the sentiment and fussy cut that out too. I colored it red with a Spectrum Noir Sparkle Pen.

Merry Christmas

Hello!!

I'm stopping in quick with a second card today, click here if you are looking for my Art Impressions post!! This card is also on The Alley Way Stamps blog, sharing a quick Christmas card.

I created a background with the new Digits stamps on a white card base. Then i stamped 25th on a little piece of paper, then colored it with my Spectrum Noir Markers. I trimmed the paper and notched one end.

Then from Happy Everything i stamped Merry Christmas on another scrap paper and notched one end. From my stash i found this cute little elf and a north pole sign embellishments.

I just added the stamped elements, the 25th at the top and Christmas along the bottom with foam tape. Then i used some more foam tape on the elf and sign.

Thanks for stopping by!! I'm off to do some studying!!

Not One to Brag

Hello!

The current challenge over at Art Impressions is going into the second week, and you have plenty of time to play with us!! The challenge is a New Years or Resolution themed card! The Design Team is featuring new Ai People stamps, and they are soooo funny!!

My card features the One to Brad set! I stamped the lady eating the cake on white card stock and since actually made this card this past summer i used Copic markers to color her. Then i fussy cut her out and set her aside to work on the background.

For the background i used distress markers ink and small piece of acetate to smoosh the ink onto a panel of watercolor paper. While it was drying i die cut the long fancy rectangle from white card stock, then stamped the sentiment at the top of the rectangle.

When the background was dry i added the long fancy rectangle to the background with foam tape. I added the cake lady on top of the rectangle and last added a few glitter enamel dots to my card!

Thanks so much for stopping by! I hope you will play along with us!!

Holiday Cheers to You

Hello!

I'm on the Art Impressions blog with a card featuring one of the new Christmas 2015 stamp sets, Cheers to You. Who doesn't love some wine with their Christmas outfit!

I started by stamping the sassy Christmas lady on some watercolor paper. Then i used my distress markers to color her. ( I just love her jingle bell earrings!!) Next i trimmed off the top part of the panel, fussy cutting around the Christmas lady.

Then i stamped the sentiment next to her. I set aside the panel to get the rest of the card ready! From some flowery Christmas paper i die cut a stitched rectangle, i added this to a white card base.

Next i cut a stitched black oval and added it to my card base where my Christmas Lady will be, other white she gets lots against the pattern paper. I added the Lady to the card with foam tape and last i added a few sequins across the card.

Thanks so much for stopping by!!

Joy & Peace

Hello!

How is everyone?!? Only 4 days to go, until i'm chemistry free (at least for a month or so!) so i'm busy studying!!! But anyway, I'm on The Alley Way Stamps blog today sharing a card that features a few of the new December stamps!

I started with some red cards stock and the heart border stamps from Point of View. I made a background with white pigment ink on the red card stock. I used some washi tape to mask off a strip, this gives a place for my sentiment to go.

Then i trimmed it down a little and rounded the edges. I added some twine around the red panel and tied it in a bow. Next i stamped the snowman form Melt Your Heart Out on white card stock and again on some pattern paper. I paper pieced the snowman's scarf, mittens and ear muffs. Then i colored the rest of the snowmen with my Spectrum Noir Markers.

Next i stamped my sentiment from the new Happy Everything. Then i added the snowman to the red panel with foam tape and adhered the panel to a black card base.

Thanks so much for stopping by!!
