More Valentine's Cards

More of Penny Black's Mimi's Love stamp set cards!  Just having fun, trying to get better coloring.  The top one is watercolors and the bottom one is Prismacolor pencils.  In both cards I used wink of Stella on the tiny hearts.  The designer paper is by doodlebug.

New Penny Black Stamp Set

Oh my goodness!  This is my 600th Post!  Celebration time, if you are reading this and leave a comment for me I will pick one random comment and send a nice card making goodie!

This is another CASE and I used the new stamp set called Mimi's Love. Just a precious little deer!

Lovely Card

A CASE that is just so lovely I had to make it! 

Sympathy Card

This card uses Heartfelt Creations flower stamps and dies and Stamping Up sentiment.  The frame die is from Our Daily Bread.  I used Lavender and Lime Brilliance inks.  The center of the flowers are prills from Heartfelt Creations.

Loss of Pet Sympathy Card

My cousin lost both of their beautiful Cavalier King Charles Spaniels within a few weeks of each other.  One was ill for a while but the other was a surprise.  So hard to lose our fur-babies!  They love their dogs as much as I love mine so I wanted to send a really nice handmade sympathy card.  I worked really hard on this, I happened to have some pet themed card stock from Basic Grey that I have been hoarding (working on last year's new year resolution to use my stash!) and it worked very nicely with this. I wanted to color the stamp as a Blenheim and I think I came pretty close!  They had one Ruby and one Blenheim.  Beautiful dogs.  The stamp is from Stampavie, Laurence Collection.

This is a trifold card:

Front

Open to the middle

All the way open

Happy New Year

Just a quick post of my New Year Card.  I love the gold foil paper, its awesome for die cutting!

Valentine's Day Card

This card is for My Favorite Things sketch challenge. I used linked chain circle frame dies from MFT, letters from Kaiserkraft and paper from Stampin Up. I used the center of the frame dies on pop dots offset to create a really nice look for these dies! I really like how that turned out.

Colored Pencils on Kraft

So there is a current tutorial on coloring with colored pencils on Kraft paper and I wanted to try again.  I did this a few years ago but honestly I just don't practice enough to be good at it.  I watched two different videos and gave it a try and the results are ok, not as nice as the gals in the videos!  I think one of the problems is I don't have a big collection of colors.  I have 36 Prismacolors but not three shades of each colors and it doesn't match right.  I only have one gray and it is too blue...well anyway we will see if I remedy that situation!  I do love the look on Kraft!  This card isn't done,  I don't have any Valentines Day stamp expressions to finish it yet.  Just felt like posting it!

UPDATE:  Here is the finished card, I so liked the image to be the focal point I didn't add too much.

Christmas Cards - Blue

Here are the blue cards.  I did make a few small changes in several of these cards but they are pretty close to the ones I case'd.  The bottom one I substituted with the Yeti - gaaaaa love them!  The layered snowflakes and dies and also yeti are all my favorite things.

Christmas Cards

Hello!  I am not even sure if anyone looks at my blog anymore.  I used to be really involved in the card making community and ended up moving 3 times in 5 years and I have not blogged much until a little lately.  I am taking quick simple pictures here of my cards.  I am pretty sure all of these are case's of cards or with a few adjustments according to my supplies.  I have a bunch of cards made with my favorite things layered snowflakes, these are the "pink" ones.  I  will show blue next time. There is also a card that is from stamp simply ribbon store and Sharon made it and this is a total case of her card - I take no creative credit for any of these, just enjoyed making them!  I will post the blue cards tomorrow.

Pink Yeti Christmas

Here are the Yeti's in pink.  I also took the picture of the pink one next to the blue one just to compare. I like them both!  I thought pink would be weird for Christmas but with this cute paper by My Minds Eye called Sugarplum is perfect!  Off to create more Christmas cards, I am enjoying it this year.  I didn't put constraints on it, I'm doing it in my spare time for fun.  I had family pictures made into cards this year and will send a few handmade ones to special friends and family :)

More Yeti Cuteness!

I am having so much fun with this My Favorite Things Beast Friends set!  It took a while to make this card and my friend who is not a card maker couldn't understand why this takes several hours.  Well here ya go, stamping, coloring, die cutting, more die cutting, more die cutting... but that's what I love.  The dies here are the card pop up box, the rectangles to go on the box, snow drifts, tree line, layered snowflakes and the yeti's.  I posted a couple pictures of my workspace as I got the various  parts prepared.  Hopefully she understands now - hard to explain otherwise!  I will be making more of this, already started on a pink one.  I am so pleased with how this turned out, too cute again!
