Happy St. Patrick's Day!!

 

What better way to celebrate this special day then to create this card featuring a gorgeous Saturated Canary image "Muriel", and a great sentiment that suits the image.

 

The image was colored with Copics and then matched with beautiful paper from my stash.

And They Call it Bunny Love

I know that this card is a little early for Easter, but before you know it the season will be here, and I love Mo Manning images, sooooo..............

 

This gorgeous image called Bunny Kisses is from Penny Black stamps and is drawn by Mo Manning - you can buy it here!  I have stamped the image with Memento Tuxedo Black ink on Copic Xpress It cardstock and then colored it with Copics.  The image was cut with the Spellbinders Label One die and then the surrounding frame is also from Spellbinders.  The dp is an oldie from Prima Marketing, and the ribbon and the sentiment are from my stash.  All of the edges of the papers were inked with  Memento Toffee Crunch ink, and to finish off the card front I added three pearls made with a Viva Décor Pearl Pen.

Snowlady Greetings

Welcome to the first day of the last month of 2014, and to welcome in the new month it is time to show a card for this month's challenge at One Crazy Stamper.  The theme this month is ANYTHING GOES and I have stamped up a cute High Hopes image entitled Snow Sweet Snowlady.

 

The image is colored with Copics and then I have added Judikins Diamond Glaze to the candy buttons for dimension, as well as added gold pearls with a Viva Décor pearl pen.  After fussy cutting the image I popped it up using 3D foam squares from Scrapbook Adhesive on the card front made from dp and ribbon from my stash.  The sentiment is also from High Hopes.

By My Side

I seem to have a real lack of boys cards in my stock, and I am also on a quest to start using some of my stamps that have never seen the light of day, so the card today features one of my favorite images from Lili of the Valley.  

 

Man's Best Friend has been colored with Copic markers, then matted and mounted on the card front featuring paper from My Mind's Eye.  Some jute ribbon, pearls created with a Viva Decor Pearl pen, and the perfect sentiment finish off the card.

 

Wishing everyone a great weekend!

 

 

Always and Forever

It's a beautiful sunny day here in Alberta - just wish the gale force winds would disappear!  I just let my two foster dogs out in the yard, and I think the little one thought she was going to be blown away!

My card today has a gorgeous wedding image from Lili of the Valley, that I have colored with Copics, then matted and placed on designer paper from Creative Imaginations.  Black pearls made with a Viva Décor pearl pen and stickles add dimension to the image.

ī

Butterflies Rule!!!!!!!!

Well it's cold and blustery out today, so what would be better than to post a bright spring card to warm everyone up!  My card today features a great Eat Cake Graphics image entitled "Butterflies Rule".


 

I stamped and colored her with my Copic markers, fussy cut the entire image, and then placed it on top of a beautiful Memory Box butterfly die.  The body of the butterfly was covered with microfine glitter using the burnishing technique, and then colored with Copics.  The card front features an older Prima paper with the sentiment handwritten randomly across it.

Just BEE-ing Me

One full week into the new year, and I hope everyone had a great holiday season and are ready to get to creating wonderful projects.  For this week's Terrific Tuesday post for One Crazy Stamper I have a super cute card!

 

My card features an image and sentiment from YOUR NEXT STAMP Smiley Happy Critter Crew Set Three.  I stamped the bee on Copic X-press It cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink, colored with my Copic sketch markers, then added Judikins Diamond Glaze to the eyes, and Stardust Stickles to the wings for added dimension.  After fussy cutting the image I matted it with black cardstock and popped it up on the card front with pop dots.  The card front and interior feature dp from Bo Bunny's Zip-a-dee-doodle collection.  The bee's flight path was created with a black Viva Decor Pearl Pen, while the border was created by embossing a strip of black cardstock, and then highlighting the design with the jade Viva Decor Inka Gold.

A Very Merry Christmas to You

Merry Christmas Eve to All!!  My card today features another wonderful Stampendous House Mouse image from One Crazy Stamper.



 

The image is colored with Copics, and then I used a Sakura Glaze pen to add white highlights.  After cutting the image out with a Spellbinders Grand die, I used the gold Viva Décor Pearl Pen to create dimension, and also ran the card base through the Grand Calibur with an M-bossibilites folder.  The sentiment is from Just Rite Stamps, stamped with Ranger Distress Ink crushed olive.  Here's the colors of Copics that I used -

 

Wishing everyone a very Merry Christmas and all the Best in 2014!!!

Put A Little Joy in Your Life

If you are a regular to my blog, you will know that I adore penguins - big, small, cute and fluffy, just as long as the image is a penguin I will own it!!!  So for today's post for One Crazy Stamper I have used my Copic markers to color up this super cute Whimsy Stamps image "Penguin Joy". 

 

After coloring the image I added Red Viva Décor Pearl Pen to the berries, and white Liquid Applique and Snowdust Stickles to add more dimension and shine.  The card front features designer paper from Carta Bella's So This is Christmas collection.

Cup of Cocoa

The colder weather is definitely here now, with probably more on the way, and today's project for One Crazy Stamper would be an ideal gift for someone special.

 

I have colored up the High Hopes image "Snowy's Cup" with my Copics, then fussy cut the image and placed it on a little gift bag that I created using my Scor-pal.  I used the Martha Stewart Snowflake border punch as a decoration around the base of the bag, and added touches of glittler with a Sakura Clear Star pen, and red berries with a Viva Decor Pearl Pen.  The bag is full of hot chocolate mix and a couple of cinnamon sticks to add some extra flavor.  The sentiment "Cup of Cocoa" is the perfecrt way to present this gift!

Santa's on His Way

It's Terrific Tuesday for One Crazy Stamper, and we are right in the middle of the monthly challenge theme of CHRISTMAS cards, so I'm here to show you my next creation using a new High Hopes Stamp called "Road Trippin' Santa".

 

I stamped the image on Copic Xpress It cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink, and then colored it up with Copic Sketch Markers.  The fur on Santa's outfit received some Polar White Flower Soft, the candy centers of the tires of the car were coated with Stardust Stickles, and red, green and gold Viva Decor Pearl Pens highlight the berries, leaves and scroll on the car!  The dp is from Kaisercraft, and the snowflake is the Lindeman Snowflake die from Memory Box.

Dreamy Dragon

Surprise!!! 
 As a last minute favor for Design team member Aaemie I get to post another card this week for One Crazy Stamper, and it's a bright spring colored card to finally celebrate the arrival of spring here in Alberta.  ( Shhhhh, don't say it too loud, or the winter fairies might just decide to return and share a few more flakes of snow - horror!!! )

 

This adorable little dragon is taking a well deserved nap and dreaming of all of the pretty flowers soon to arrive.  I have colored up Dreamy Dragon from Whimsy Stamps artist Sylvia Zet with my Copics, then added Icicle Stickles to the flowers for that extra shimmer and shine.  The image was cut and matted with the Spellbinders Big Scalloped Circles die.  Paper flowers are all from my stash of Prima, while the flower centers are either Kaiser rhinestones, pearls made with the Cream Viva Decor Pearl Pen, or cream Kaiser self adhesive pearls. 

 



Oh, Hoppy Day

Just a clean and simple card today with a Easter theme!!

 

The image, Mr Bun in his Speedy Basket, is from Eat Cake Graphics and I have colored it with Copics, then doodled some puffs of smoke behind the basket.  To add some more fun to the image, I created carrots with an orange Viva Decor Pearl Pen, and a green felt pen.  The sentiment is from the Hoppy Easter set from Pink by Design.

Spring is a Day Away!!!!

Tomorrow is the first day of spring, so to celebrate the return of the nicer weather, and the glorious anticipation of flowers I made this bright, cheerful easel card.

 

This is Bella Sole Collecting Daisies from Whimsy Stamps artist Elizabeth Bell. I have stamped the image on Copic Xpress It cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink, then colored it with Copics. The image was cut and matted with Spellbinders Label 14, and popped up on the card base that was cut with a Spellbinder Grand Label Four die. The greenery was cut with both a Memory Box Leafy Branch die, and a Memory Box Madera Corner die, cut apart and layered.

The interior of the easel card features a Spellbinder Tag die with a birthday sentiment, and flowers punched out of yellow vellum. All of the flower centers are made with the Viva Decor Dark Brown Pearl Pen.

There are still several days left to create a project to enter the challenge at One Crazy Stamper - the theme is Anything Goes!!

Are you ready?

That's right - for all of you procrastinators out there, you only have nine days left until Valentine's Day is here.  For today's Terrific Tuesday post at One Crazy Stamper I colored up the Valentines Petals image from Saturated Canary. but I didn't want to use the traditional colors of a valentine card.



 

Whenever I start to color an image, I always start by choosing my papers, so for this little cutie I choose First Editions Hideaway collection with these bright citrus colors.  After the paper is picked, I can then match the Copics for a perfect combination.  The sentiment, one of three that are included with the image, was stamped and mounted on a Spellbinder die frame, and the pearls were made with the Viva Decor Salmon Pearl pen.
