Quilted Santa

Today's post is another card I finished back in September, and just never got around to posting.


This is Quilted Santa from Penny Black stamps, that I colored with Copic markers, then matted and mounted on to the card front.  The tree die is an older Marianne Designs Creatable, the sentiment is from Crafters Companion and then I added jute twine accents.

So Much Fun


So this week must be the week to show you how to use the same stamp different ways, because my project today features the same High Hopes Stamps image that a couple of the other design team members have already used.  This is My Beat Friend that you can find right here in the store.

 
I colored the image with Copics, then fussy cut it and placed it on a tag that also features a Marianne Designs creatable grass die, and some hand drawn lines and sentiment made with a Copic Multiliner pen.

Snow Update and a Card


So in my last post I was complaining commenting on the accuracy of the weather man and his definition of flurries, as compared to mine.  Just an update - those Flurries dumped a record amount of snow on Calgary - just a measly 21 centimeters is the official report.  I took my yardstick outside to my deck yesterday and stuck it in the snow, and lucky, lucky me - we actually received 32 cm here in my neighborhood.  ( The on going joke in my family, and now even the ladies that attend classes here in my home, is that my subdivision of Citadel has it's own weather pattern.  Many a times I've had people comment on how as soon as they drive into Citadel, the weather changes dramatically - I still say it's because my community is at a higher elevation, but who really knows - LOL!!!!!).
 
So, since there is so much of the white stuff around now, I'm sticking to the winter theme with my card today.  This is Tilda in the Mountains, a delightful Magnolia image that I have colored with Copics.
 
 

After fussy cutting the image, and popping it up on dp from the Winterings collection by Little Yellow Bicycle, I have added swirls from a Memory Box die, a large snowflake doily from Marianna's Designs, and punched and glittered snowflakes.  The sentiment is from Flourishes Snow Days set, and is perfect for someone's age related birthday.

Jolly Old St Nick

 
 Time is flying by, and soon the jolly old man himself will be visiting all of the good boys and girls on his list - are you on the naughty or nice list?!!!  My card today features an old fashioned Santa image from Stamps Happen, that I colored with Copics then cut and matted with Spellbinders Label 3.  The dp for the card front is from Kaisercraft's Turtle Dove collection, the die is Marianne Creatibles Designs Mistletoe Twigs, sentiment is from Lili of the Valley, button, twine, ribbon, and the bell are all from my stash.

Beary White Christmas

It's beginning to look a LOT like Christmas, or at least if you live in central or northern Alberta it is - my best friend called earlier today to whine and ask me to turn off the snow making machine, but I declined!!!  She didn't turn if off a couple of weeks ago, when we Calgarians got hit with the first snowfall of the season, and I called to whine to her, so turnabout is fair game.  Although ..... we are also suppose to get some snow, but not nearly as much as they have received so far. 
 
So to celebrate the great white stuff, my card today is an all white creation - colored with Copics, embossed with a Spellbinders folder, framed with two Marianne Designs trees, and then everything is all glittered and shined.  The image is from Wild Rose Studios and is entitled "Polar Bears", one of their newest releases - I love, love, love Wild Rose Studio images!!!

Cowboy Christmas

Howdy Christmas to you!
 
Okay, I know that it's a little too early for this greeting, but a friend invited me to participate in one of the bigger local craft sales in Calgary, so I have been madly creating for the past three weeks, getting cards ready to sell.  Because Calgary is regarded as a cowboy town I thought that this card just might be popular.
 
 
 
This is High Hope Stamps "Cowboy Snowman" image colored with Copics, then fussy cut and popped up on an all white card front.  The card front was created with the Spellbinders M-Bossabilities Holiday Magic Reversible Embossing Folder, and two trees cut with the Marianne Design Creatables Christmas Tree die that then received a coat of Diamond Dust.  The sentiment is from Whimsy Stamps Holiday Notables 1, while the frame around the sentiment is the Whimsy Elegant Notables 1 die and Notables 1 Die .   All of the items that are highlighted are available at One Crazy Stamper - either online or at the brick and mortar store in Bolton, Ontario.

Have You Ever Seen the Rain?

Another gorgeous image from Saturated Canary, and one of my favorite card designs - an easel card.



The image is called "Umbrella".  It was printed on Copic Xpress It cardstock with my Epson printer, colored with Copic markers, then cut and matted several times with a Spellbinders die.  Memory Box and Marianne Designs dies were used to cut the flourishes and stems, and Spellbinder's Fancy Tags Two die was used for the frame around the sentiment, which is from Art Impressions.  The dp is Basic Grey's Two Scoops/Ice Cream Parlour and Watermelon Ice, and I finally used the Epoxy Rain Drop stickers from Autumn Leaves that I have had for a long time!

You Gotta Have Friends

Another cutie from Sugar Nellies - "Furry Friends" colored with Copics attached to the front of a window card.  The seam binding was airbrushed with Copics to match the color scheme, and the gorgeous snowflake is from Marianne Designs dies.  The sentiment was embossed with silver.
