Happy Birthday

Hello. I decided to use the Cheers & Beers guy on the Freshly Made Sketch challenge today.

The stamp is from Unity and the birthday sentiment is from Poppy Stamps. I did cut him down to fit into the square that is called for in the sketch. He's colored with Copics. I used a bit of puffy paint, heated with the heat tool to give it a foamy look on the mug of brew. 

The green plaid paper is from my stash and the stitched dot die is from Jillian Vance Designs. 

Thanks for stopping by.

Merry Christmas

Hi everyone! I'm back with another card for the Season's Tweetings stamp set that is soon to be released over at Gerda Steiner Designs. 

The bird is colored with Copic's.  I added some Tulip puffy dimensional fabric paint to his hat. If you heat it with your heat gun it really puffs up! So much fun to use.

The holiday tag was made with paper I've had in my stash for a while now. I only used a portion of the Merry Christmas stamp on this and creatively cut out part of the sentiment with a die. Since this bird was by himself, the "we wish you a" just didn't work. 

I have one more project I made with this stamp set coming up next Friday. See you then. 

Choose Happy

Hello and Welcome to our first Fusion Card Challenge of 2021. This is where you can use the sketch or the photo or both. Here is what I did with it.

I did combine the two!  Inspired with the black and white buffalo plaid and the cocoa cups. Cup die is from Penny Black. Sentiment is from Simon Says Stamp. Used some tulip puffy paint and heat embossed it for the whip cream.  Buffalo plaid stamp is from Kaisercraft. 

Please check out the Design Team’s creations for this challenge, there are a lot of really cool ideas!

Winter holiday latern

Hi everyone. It's time for another challenge over at The House That Stamps Built. This week our challenge is the every popular Anything Goes.

I stamped the lantern in Versafine ink and heat embossed so that I could color it using Copic's. Once done I added some puffy paint and glitter to the highlight the snow. Tied a red ribbon using the Bow Easy, and stamped a tag with the sentiment. Turned out to be a classy little card. =)

Winter wishes

Hello. Continuing with the winter coffee theme.

I paired this with the sketch challenge over at TGIF Challenges and The Code word of Sparkle at Addicted to CAS.

Stamps are from Verve. I colored the cup with Copic's, then cut it out using my Brother Scan N Cut. Added some puffy paint and heat embossed it so that it looks like whipped topping. The little snowflake in the middle of the cup is from PTI.

Cut a snow flake out of glitter paper for the sparkle and then also added some bling into the middle of each of the stamped snowflakes using the stardust gel pen.

Thanks for stopping by.




   

Happy Holidays scene

Hello. Decided to use the sketch over at Freshly Made Sketches to create a little scene. I used last month's Hero Arts kit.

I turned the sketch on its side to accommodate the mountain scene.  Distress regular and oxide inks used on the trees and the sky.  Water was spritzed on the blue to create the falling snow. They I came back and added it on the tree line using a white paint pen.  Snow on the mountains is done with Tulip puffy paint that was heated with my heat gun.

 Have a great day.

This bud's for you

It’s time for another challenge over at The House That Stamps Built. This week we were challenged to use the following sketch.

All stamps can be found a the Repeat Impressions web site. These stamps were part of a unmounted set. I colored the beer using Copic markers. The foam is done by heating Tulip puffy paint. Black enamel dots are done using Fabrika Decoru. I cut the beer mug out using my Brother Scan N Cut, but had to do the inside of the handle by hand.

Warm and cozy

Hi everyone! I decided to play along in the 2016 Winter Coffee Lovers challenge and I also paired it with this weeks Freshly Made Sketch.

Well, I used a bunch of different products on this one.

Sentiment stamp is from My Favorite Things. Snowflakes are from Hero Arts.

Mitten and cup dies are also from Hero Arts.  I cut the cup out using white cardstock and then colored it with Copic's. I heat embossed the snowflake using white detailed embossing powder, also from Hero Arts.

The snowflake designer paper is from my stash that I've had forever and I believe it's from K&Company.

I used my heat gun to create the whipped cream on a bit of Tulip puffy paint.



That's it for today! Thanks for stopping by.

Photo challenge

Hi everyone. It's time for another photo challenge over at The House That Stamps Built.

 Here is the photo and below is what I ended up doing with it.

I used corrugated kraft paper from Die Cuts With A View to create the cupcake paper and also used it as a back ground panel.

Frosting is done using Tulip's puffy paint and I added yellow sprinkles onto it using glitter and silica gel. Yes, you read that right. I saved several packs of the gel and stuck them into a jar. To color them, I just put them into a container, added a bit of alcohol ink and let dry. Picture below. Imagine the possibilities!

Designer notebook paper is from Papertrey, Ink. Sentiment is from Repeat Impressions.

So what are you waiting for?!

Why not play along with us and start stamping up a card now. We can’t wait to see your creations!

get well soon

Hello. Playing around today and came up with a little texture technique that I had to use for the tactile challenge over at Less is More.

I took some Tulip puffy paint and squeezed a fair amount onto a piece of white cardstock. Then putting on a pair of latex gloves I smoothed out the paint so that it covered it, in just a thin layer. I then heated it with my heat gun to dry.

Out came the alcohol inks. Watermelon, yellow and salmon, plus a generous amount of blending solution. I just played around until I got something I liked.

The poppy die comes from Simon Says Stamps. I glued it together onto some linen cardstock after stamping the sentiment (Hero Arts). Pierced background die is from MFT.

The texture on this in real life is pretty cool, so much so that you want to touch it. Kind of hard to photograph.

Off to put something together for dinner. Thanks for stopping by.

Nice Hat!

Hi everyone! Here is a clean, simple and quick card for you today.

I got the sentiment stamp at my local stamp store which just happens to be Impress. You can find their web site here and the stamp is from Savvy Stamps. Lots to choose from.

The santa hat is from A*Muse Studio (retired) and colored with the R29 Copic marker.  I added some dimension to his hat with some puffy paint that was heated with the heat gun.

Stitched dies are from My Favorite Things.

Finally, I added three snowflakes on the bottom using the snowflake stubby from Stamps by Judith and white craft paint. I wanted something added to the bottom corner and sequins and/or pearls were just too much.  So went with this subtle route and liked it quite well.

Thanks for stopping by!

One layer Santa

Hi everyone. Yea! I'm done working my caboose off at work (I opened a new store) and didn't have time to be creative. Less is More challenge this week is one layer cards with a Santa theme. Here is what I did with it.

Stamps are from A*Muse studio and I think this one might be retired now.

I stamped everything in Versafine ink and then heat embossed all with clear embossing powder.

Suit is colored with Copic's and then I used Tulip Puffy paint to create the fluffy fur on his suit. This stuff puffs up when heated just like liquid applique and its a lot cheaper.

That's it for today. Thanks for stopping by.
