Popcorn fun

Here's an older card I colored up a couple of years ago.  These sweet images are from CC Designs, while the punch is from Martha Stewart, and the corner die is a Memory Box one.  The images were  colored with Copics.

Autumn Adorable!!

The days are getting cooler, you can feel the change of season in the air, but I love the color explosion of fall, with all the beautiful gold, red and orange hues in the leaves of the trees.  My card today celebrates the season!

 

This adorable image is Fairy Twila from C. C. Designs that I have colored with Copics, and then mounted on older paper from Chatterbox.  The ribbon was a steal from Costco, and the flowers are from my stash and are a mix of Prima, Wild Orchid and even some from the local big box craft store.  The sentiment is from Whipper Snapper stamps.  Love this stamp and will be using her again soon - maybe you'll see her pop up as a Christmas card!

Loads of Love

The month of Love has arrived, so I decided to use two of the newest High Hopes Stamp releases to make an adorable love themed card for my post today at One Crazy Stamper.

 

This sweet card features Hedgy Has Flowers and Garden Fence that I have colored with Copics.  After finishing the coloring I fussy cut the images and place both of them on the card front that features dp from Dovecraft, ribbon, and a sentiment from CC Designs Adoring You stamp set.

Just a sweet and simple card featuring one of CC Designs older Christmas Images!

 

 



Honey Days!!!!

Time for Terrific Tuesday at One Crazy Stamper and this week I just could not resist coloring these two adorable images from CC Designs!!

This is Honey Bee-trice and Woodland Daisy colored with Copics in a most unusual color combination for a cute little bee.  I stamped and colored Honey twice, so that one of the images could be fussy cut and popped up on the original image.  The antennae and flower center have been flocked, wings have a coat of Smooch Top Coat Illuminate paint to make them shimmer, and the small flower centers and dots on the sentiment were highlighted with Stickles Fruit Punch.  The dp is from Teresa Collins Sweet Afternoon collection, while the bakers twine and flower are from my stash.  The white spots on her cheeks are done with Copics Opaque White.

Birthday Greetings

For me, the month of March is full of family and friends celebrating their special days, whether it's a birthday or an anniversary!  Here's just one of the cards that I gave to one special friend!

The image is from CC Designs and the sentiment is from Technique Tuesday.

New Year, New Ideas

Allright, now I know how hard it is to post regularly - life just seems to get in the way and before you know it six weeks have passed.  I hope that everyone had a great holiday, and had time to relax with family and freinds.  For my New Years resolution I promise to post at least once a week, and keep in touch with everyone.

I decided that I should learn more about the digital images that I have been purchasing over the last few months, so I spent an afternoon learning how to merge, resize and flip images and this is the end result of one of my attempts.  The little girl and the polar bear are both CC Design images that I purchased from All That Scraps.  It is really hard to photograph white on white cards, but I have used several punches and the Viva Decor pearls to accent the snowflakes decorating the front of the card.
**I did it!! I've entered my first challenge at http://abcdtchallenge.blogspot.com/  - I think this particular card really suited the theme for this challenge -it's almost like I knew what the theme would be!!

This is another card that I recently designed using a Kraftin Kimmie image.  The embossing is from the Tim Holtz postcard embossing folder, that I inked and then tore into smaller pieces layering it onto the front of the card.  For the interior of the card I blended several colors of Distress Inks, and then heat embossed an image from Tattered Angels over the resulting paper.  I think this would make an excellent card for someone who is traveling, or for that special man in your life.

That's it for now, but I will be posting again soon, so stay tuned.
