Punch Wreath

Happy Friday to all,

This is just a very simple card. I punched about 15 or so of the fir from a punch. It's not the Martha Stewart one but one that was out a few years back but I think it is the same design.
I also cut a circle out with two nestibilities dies and then glued the punched pieces on. Before attaching the wreath to the card I sprayed it with homemade glimmer mist. I then took some white pearls and colored with my Copics and attached. Stamped Merry Christmas to the white card attached the wreath and added a double bow made with the Bow Easy.




Thanks for stopping by. Hope everyone is in the holiday spirit.

Happy Holidays,

Snowflake Greetings

Happy Tuesday Everyone,

First off I will say this post is picture heavy.

Here is my Christmas Card for this year that was sent to family and friends. Each card was made with one of two different stamps from the Bildmalarna November stamp club kit from Stampingscrapping.com. The inspiration for this card was from a card project that Kristina Werner of kwernerdesing.com blog. She is also does wonderful You Tube videos for cards. Her You Tube channel is Starofmay . My card inspiration came after I saw one of her 2008 videos and just loved the idea. If you want some great ideas you should check her blog out and subscribe to her You Tube channel. One thing though you will need to purchase a white gel pen after watching all of what she does to embellish her cards using it. J

I used transparency sheets that I got from an office supply store for the base of the card. I stamped the transparency with snowflakes that were from an older Stampin up set using white Staz-on ink. The little girl images are stamped and colored using Copic Markers. The Snowflake Greetings stamp is one that I picked up out of the dollar bin at Michaels. It worked perfect for my card. Rhinestones were added to the small snowflakes in the greeting. This has been one of my favorite cards to make. I normally send different cards to everyone but this year I loved the way this card came out everyone received the same design just in different colors.



These are the three different colors that I did.

Of course with red being my favorite color that was my favorite one.
The punch used for the white trim is a Stampin up punch.

All of the white areas have Sparkle n Sprinkle twinkling clouds flock on them. The flock has a bit of glitter in it. It makes it shine just enough.
Here is the green ones.

And of course the blue ones.

I hope you enjoyed the cards. As I said before I really liked making these cards.

Santa Baby

Happy Monday,

Here is a card that was done with a digi stamp. I'm sorry I don't remember who this was by. Just kind of a funny one. No I did not send this to anyone. Just working on my copic coloring.

I added some rhinestones to her glasses. Shimmer chalks where used over her hair after I colored it.

The background paper was a technique that Gina K showed on her Stamp TV videos.

Happy Holidays,

Holiday Greetings

Happy Sunday,

This is a stamp by DRS Design. Glass glitter by AIG was added to the pinecone. AIG glitter was also used on the circle around the greeting.


This is a slight variation on the other card.


Happy Holidays,

Christmas Candle

Hi Everyone,

This card was done with a DRS Designs stamp and copics. I am still learning but I am liking the effects that I am getting. I added a little black prisma colored pencil and gamsol for added highlights.

The image is cut out with a nestibilities die and layered on another cut out. The patterned paper is something old that I have had in my stash.

Happy Holidays,

Pocket Christmas Card

Hi there everyone,

Here is a cute card to make for a Christmas card or even a gift card holder.
I saw some one on You Tube do this but they used a larger sheet of card stock and I found it to be such a waste so I down sized it a just a bit and you can now make it with just the standard 8 1/2 by 11 sheet of card stock.


With some scraps I cut them with the spellbinders dies and stamped on them. Or you could do one and then put a gift card in the other pocket.
You can adapt this card for just about anything. Christmas, birthday, wedding etc.

Thanks for stopping by.

Candyland

Good Evening,

Here is a digi stamp that I used copic markers to color the image. It is by Stamping Boutique. She is really cute. I did a little highlighting with a black prisma colored pencil and gamsol. I like the way it made it pop.



This is a little closer view. I added some rhinestones and glossy accents to make it sparkle and shine.

Thanks for taking a peek.
