Last Post for 2012

I can’t believe we are at the end of 2012.    I hope that 2013 is a little smoother than this past year has been.      I have one last project to share with you.

 

2012-12-31 Mikes bday pheasant WM

I made this card for my hubby’s birthday last week.   I had to look at a lot of image on google in to color this guy.   He looks like the one that sometimes visits my yard.   He is missing the light colored speckles from his back but, to be honest, I was afraid of messing him up if I tried to add them.

 

Thank you for stopping by!   Have a Happy New Year!

Let It Snow!

Are you digging out from Thursday’s blizzard?  We have barely a dusting of snow.  Just an hour away they have over 10 inches of the white stuff.    Now we have the cold!  Brrrrrr…  I was happy with the warm weather we had last week.

Anyhow, I have one final set of Christmas cards to share with you today.   I love Heather Ellis’ snowmen.   I printed and colored these guys before Thanksgiving and they were just sitting on my desk.  I finally had a chance to put them on some cards.   I have already sent all my cards out for the year so I will tuck these away for next year.  (I kept them pretty flat and easy to mail so I can send these to OWH)

Pet Sympathy

My sister in-law recently lost 2 of her cats so I made her a sympathy card using Meljen’s Designs “Kitty Angel”. 

 

2012-12-19 MJD Kitty sympathy WM

 

I experimented with coloring on kraft paper for this card.  I’m not sure if I love the results but it was a learning experience.

Last week was also a hard week for my family.  We lost Allie who was a member of our family for over 14 years.    It was such a sad day.    Below are a few photos of my girl.  We miss her.

One Little Christmas Tree

The entire time I was working on my card, the song “One Little Christmas Tree” was going through my head.   Do you remember that one?  (If not, you can hear it here.)  “One little Christmas tree can light up a home….”  Isn’t it perfect with this cute image?

Speaking of this cute image, did you get a chance to download this from the Whimsy and Stars Studio blog a couple of weeks ago?   If not, it’s too late now but make sure you sign up as a follower so that you don’t miss out on any future freebies.   (You can also keep in touch in the Whimsy & Stars Studio group on Facebook HERE.)

I tried something different (for me) again.  This card fits in a business sized envelope.  I also wanted to use the negative space from the die cut letters.    The only difficulty that I had was running the PTI card stock through my printer.  Although I love their paper, my printer is not a fan and doesn’t want to run it through with out jamming.

I hope you have a fabulous week!  Thank you for stopping by.

Whimsy & Stars Studio Blog Hop

 

 

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas! To get ready for the season, the Whimsy and Stars Studio team is having a blog hop to show off all the Christmas and winter themed images available from Whimsy and Stars Studio and to introduce the new Winter 2013 design team members!

If you just arrived from Whimsy & Stars Studio blog, you are on the right track! If not, please start at the beginning of the hop at the Whimsy and Stars Studio blog to make sure you don't miss out on anything. Hop along and leave a comment for each member of design team.  The hop will end on Friday, December 7th at midnight EST.  One random winner, to be announced on the Whimsy and Stars Studio blog on December 8th, will be picked from all the comments received to win the Grand Prize of THREE DIGI STAMPS. 

2012-12-04 WSS Blog Hop Tag card B WM

 

I am really feeling in the Christmas spirit this year. That is really saying a lot since my brother nicknamed me Scroogie McGrinch the last few years. I know, I know… on my blog I would still post Christmas cards but I really wasn’t feeling it. But, I am a strong believer in “fake it until you make it”. Act happy and energized (or in the mood for Christmas) and the next thing you know, you are starting to feel it. (Any of my Jazzercise friends want to give me a “Woo!”?) Any how, this year it is the real deal. I am feeling it my friends!   I have been playing Christmas songs since mid-November and am really enjoying making holiday projects.  I especially like how this one turned out.

 

2012-12-04 WSS Blog Hop Tag card WM

 

For my project, I used the image the image “Xmas Tag” which is currently the image you can receive as a special gift with purchase.    In fact, for the duration of the hop, Mabelle is offering a special gift with purchase. With any order from the Whimsy and Stars Studio Etsy store, you can select one of two special images, Stocking Ted or Xmas Tag as your free gift.   Here is a look at both of the digis.

 

 

 

Since we are showing off Mabelle’s adorable Christmas and Winter digital stamps, I thought I would show you some of my favorite projects that I have created with them in the past.  Her images are just the sweetest and so fun to work with.

Merry & Bright Gingerbread Boy

I hope you all had a wonderful weekend.  Did you find any super Black Friday or Cyber Monday deals?    I was pretty good.  I bought a few Christmas gifts on Etsy and managed to stay strong and not take advantage of any of the super deals some of my favorite paper crafting sites were having.   It was soooo hard.   Usually when shopping for Christmas gifts, I end up buying more for myself than any one else. 

Instead of shopping, I busied myself in my craft room and made a card using “Gingerbread Boy” from Whimsy and Stars Studio.   For some reason, this little guy always cries out for paper piecing when I use him.   After printing him on DP, I used my Copics to shade him and color in the berries and embellishments.    All the pieces have a bit of distressing with the edge of my scissors and are finished off with some paint.    I added some texture using some of my favorite recycled elements – Starbucks coffee sleeves.   (Have I mentioned how much I love using them?)    The sleeves were perfect to cut out a little tag and punch 3 little stars.

Fun Times

Look Ma!  No stamping!  I made this birthday card for my blogging friend Maria using some of my October Afternoon stash.   I imagine Maria looking something like this when she was younger.  (If you don’t know her, she loves dogs, works as a volunteer at a shelter, and is very involved in animal rescue.)   I didn’t use any stamping on the front of the card, just these cute chipboard pieces.

 

 

2012-11 Maria Bday WM

 

Happy Birthday!  Sorry I was late getting this to you.     Every one else, stop by Maria’s blog (Craftycre8tions) to give her some late, birthday love in the form of a comment.

To all my friends in the USA, Happy Thanksgiving!

Give Thanks

With Thanksgiving coming up later this week, I thought I would make one last autumn themed card for the year using my favorite autumn image, Blessed Harvest (digital stamp) by Whimsy and Stars Studio.  

 

2012-11-20 WSS Give Thanks WM

 

I tried something a little different for me, I colored on kraft paper.  As often as I use kraft paper, I realized that I rarely color on it.   I also stepped outside my comfort zone again and left some white space.    Once I was finished with the card, I decided it looked a bit bare with out a sentiment so I created a rub on in order to add one on.  (You can see my tutorial on how to create a custom rub on here.)

Thank you for stopping by!   Happy Thanksgiving to all my American friends!   Thank you for stopping by.

 

Supplies:

  • Stamps:   Blessed Harvest (digital stamp) by Whimsy and Stars Studio
  • Inks:  Distress Ink Antique Linen
  • Papers:  Papertrey Rustic Cream & Kraft CS, Simple Stories Harvest Lane paper pad
  • Tools:  Sewing machine, Big Shot, Spellbinders Nestabilities (circle),  Die-namics Designer Labels 3, Taylored Expressions Chicken Wire impression plate,  Stampin’Up Photo Corner punch, Copic markers
  • Embellishments:  Burlap
  • Techinque:  Custom rub on  (you can see my tutorial here).  Fonts used are Aparajita and MA Sexy

Happy 11th Birthday

Today is my sweet girl’s birthday!  I can’t believe she is 11 years old today. 

About a week ago she told me, “Mom, I can’t wait to see my special card you’re making.”   I’m so happy she appreciates my cards, but man, oh man, now the pressure is on to make a card she will really like.  I hope she will like this one.

I wanted to share some pictures of my baby with you.    I don’t have any digital photos from the day she was born but here is one from her 1st birthday.

Can you believe how quickly Christmas is coming up?  I actually started my holiday shopping.  I’ve picked up a couple of stocking stuffers, nothing that really shortens my shopping list.    Speaking of Christmas, do you have a favorite album?  I would have to pick either Bing Crosby’s or Andy Williams Christmas albums.   I think I love them so much because they remind of Christmas as a kid.  My mom would always play these on the record player.     Are you looking forward to any new albums coming out this year?

Oh well, enough chatter.  I hope you have a fabulous day!  Thank you for stopping by.

  • Stamps:  Twinkling Angel (digital stamp) from Whimsy & Stars Studio, Tiny Tags II from Papertrey Ink

Like Peas & Carrots

Today is my hubby and I’s 14th wedding anniversary.   This is the card I made for him. 

 

2012-11 Annv card WM

The colors in the photo are slightly darker than real life.  The matting is carob brown, not black as it looks here.    Oh well. 

He says all my cards are the same so I tried to change it up a bit with this card.  I think this is pretty CAS for me.  There is NO SEWING and hardly and DP.   Check out all that white space.   I feel the need to fill it, but I showed some restraint.  :)

If you haven’t seen this stamp set, stop by the Sweet ‘n Sassy store to check it out.  It is just the cutest.

Thank you for stopping by!  Have a great day!

 

Supplies:

  • Stamps:  You & Me (clear stamp set) from Sweet ‘n Sassy
  • Ink:  Close To My Heart Chocolate
  • Papers:  Papertrey white CS, Bazzill Basics carob CS, Echo Park This & That Charming paper pad
  • Tools:  Big Shot, Papertrey Banner Basics die
