A Winter Wonderland Delight

Josette here with another card creation.  I love snowmen, they are right at the top of my list.  Whenever I see a snowman image or stamp, I need it.  Needless to say, I have more snowman images than flower images, and that is saying a lot.

For this card I used Snowman Duo from the Sweet Stamp collection,.  They were colored twith Copic Markers  and embellished with glitter.  Cute.

This is an A-2 Card.  Using Black Momento ink they were stamped onto a white card base.  Colored and then embellished with a bit of Wink of Stella-Clear.  

This was  cut down to 3.75 " X 5".  A mat was cut from a green paper that matched the clothing and measures 4" X 5.25 inches.  They were adhered without any dimension. 

The snow bank was cut from a piece of thin card stock that had been covered with score tape.  Glitz glitter was burnished into the adhesive.  Actually the glitter was added prior to cutting.  Merry was created the same way using red glitter and score tape. The last step was adding a ribbon. 

Sweet and flat enough for mailing.  

Thank you for stopping by,

Happy Crafting

Fall Blessing Card

Hello, Josette here.  I thought I would bring you another card colored with Copics.  I did little to the image, except size and print.  Autumn House Digital Image

This is an A6 Card, measuring: 6.25 X 5 inches.  The Card base in a dark brown Card Stock.  The second layer measures 4.75 X 6 and is a orange chevron patterned card stock.  It came from a 6 x 6 card pack and I lost the identifying manufacturers information.  But any cardstock would have worked, even a solid orange.  The tag: is 3 X 3.75 inches and the corners were notched.

The Sentiment was stamped in Brown using a Pigment Ink and was then embossed using a Clear embossing powder.  After stamping and cutting out the sentiment, it was inked with Distress in Gathered Twig and then splattered with water.  This give it a rustic distressed feel.  The Card Stock used was Kraft colored.

The scene measured 3.75 inches square and was Colored with a bunch of Copic markers.  The only marker that was matched to the paper was the oranges for the pumpkin.  Everything else used were natural blending families.  The full list of copics will be in the description.

Close up of the house.  After all the coloring was completed, the edges were inked with Distress: Tumbled Glass and Chipped Sapphire. A white Gelly Roll Pen was used to ink the snow. Wink of Stella, Clear, added glimmer to the moon and stars.
The image was adhered without any dimension.  The sentiment was popped up using fun foam.

Score tape seems the best solution to adhere fun foam to a project.  The bond is firm and permanent.
Finishing touch, a ribbon and bow and it is ready to send to someone needing a pick me up.

Until Next time,
Happy Crafting
Josette

The Basics

Hello!  It is Lisa here and TGIF, am I right?!  Today I am taking us all back to the basics of cardmaking.  Now when I say basics I wants to remind you that the basics are beautiful not boring.  Sometimes I get so wrapped up in trying new techniques and adding so many embellishments that I lose site of why I really love cardmaking... for the stamping.  So I have created this little beauty with nothing but some good ol stamps, ink, markers and foam adhesive...

Supplies Used:

Poppy Garden Clear Stamp Set	Simple Greetings Clear Stamp Set	Copic Sketch Markers	Wink of Stella Brush Marker
Tuxedo Black Memento Marker	Tuxedo Black Memento Ink Pad

InLinkz.com

Well I hope I have inspired you to take it back to the basics, and link something up with our newest challenge: Pink.. you'll also be in the running for a gc to the Sweet Shop so you can pick up some of these goodies for yourself!

Happy Crafting!

I Love Spring

Hello!  Lisa here today, and I'm hoping this card brings a little Spring your way if you are stuck with snow like me, hehehe!  This is a very clean and simple card that spotlights the sentiment...

Supplies Used:

Springtime Doodles Clear Stamp Set

Copic Sketch Markers

Wink of Stella Brush Marker

Shades� Ink Spots ROBYN'S PRETTY PALETTE

InLinkz.com

To create this card I stamped the heart first with Tuxedo Black ink and colored in with Copics.  I also went over the whole thing with my Wink of Stella Marker in Clear.  I trimmed the image down the middle and spaced it apart, I then used a pencil to draw lines on my cardbase.  Next I stamp the sentiment between the two lines, adhere the heart image over top and round one corner.

I hope you feel a little warmer now, and I hope to see you join in our latest challenge: Girly!

Happy Crafting!
Lisa

Singing in the Rain - Mixed Media

Hello! Lisa here with something completely different and new to me... mixed media art! I always admire Mixed Media Art, and I sure do love getting messy, so I decided with this weeks challenge being anything but a card I would go for it...

Supplies Used:

Ruffled Umbrella	Copic Sketch Markers	Gelly Roll White Gel Pen	Tuxedo Black Memento Marker	peerless transparent watercolors	Distress Spray Stain BRUSHED PEWTER
Glastique Gloss Finishing Glaze

InLinkz.com

I started by applying ModgePodge to watercolor cardstock. I then tore and adhered various tissue type paper.  I then went over all of that with more ModgePodge.  Next I applied Gesso with my finger and rubbed over the entire panel.  Then it was time for some waterpaiting fun with my peerless transparent watercolors.  I stamped my umbrella with a waterproof ink and let dry.  I hand wrote my sentiment and went back to color in my umbrella.  Finally I added some splats of distress spray stain and some glastique gloss for a raindrop effect.

I absolutely love how this turned out and I am so proud of myself for finally taking the plunge and creating something new.

Happy Crafting!
Lisa

Sweet as can be

 

 Love this Ice Cream Scream set, it comes with 9 images (one is a sweet little cherry) and four sentiments...a full variety of ice cream treats!

The image was colored with Chameleon Pens: PK3, YG3, BR2, RD4, VO4 and the background with Copic markers: B000, 0000.  

The 1/16" and 1/4" Perfect Layers was used to cut the green and pink borders for the image panel and 1/8" ruler for the sentiment panel border.

Glitter Adhesive was applied to the hearts to hold on the Microfine Glitter, such a nice sparkle!
