Valentine's Day Hands

Although I have not had time to blog, I have been busy in my craft room.  My husband gave me a Brother's Scan N Cut for Christmas so I have had fun learning how to use it and incorporate it in my crafting.   Below is the first card I made using die cuts I made with my new machine.  

I made this Valentine's Day card for my husband using an image I won from Polka Dot Orchard.  I really liked it but was a bit intimidated to color it.  I finally decided to just jump in.

Thank you for stopping by!

Ho Ho Ho Kitty

Earlier this week I was able to color 2 copies of this cute kitty image.  I used one on a card earlier this week and found time to make another.   This was supposed to be a quick card but cutting and gluing 3 layers of kraft paper and then the dp took some time.

Congrats on the New Nest

 Hello!  Sorry I have been absent for awhile.   Life has been a little too busy for my to enjoy crafting or post on my blog.    I have a few minutes this morning while I'm drinking my coffee so I thought I would take a moment to share a recent project.

My daughter's friend recently moved into her first apartment so I made this card using one of Tiddly Inks cute Wren images.  This is the first time I colored dark hair.   (Well, actually my second - I threw out my first attempt on this image.)  I think that because I am blonde, I tend to color blonde hair.  

We recently had a visitor to our yard, a female (I think) snapping turtle.   I think she was looking for a place to lay her eggs.   The first day we saw her we thought she just wondered off a little too far from the pond.  My husband and I were able to scoop her in a bucket and carry her back to the pond.  She was big and mad so it was a two person operation.  (Boy, she could really hiss! And I understand why they are called snapping turtles!)  The next day we saw her in our yard again.   That's when we realized it was around the time turtles lay their eggs so we let her be.  She scooted off into the underbrush and we haven't seen her since.  I hope everything worked out okay for her and she was able to get back to the pond with out encountering any predators (or well intentioned people interfering with her!)

Thank you for stopping by!  Take care!

Supplies:
Stamps:  Wryn New Nest digital stamp from Tiddly Inks

Life Happens, Coffee Helps

 Hello!  I have not had a lot of time to craft lately and when I do have time, I am sadly lacking in creativity.  When I saw the post for the Spring/Summer  Coffee Lovers Hop, it was just the kick to get me going.  Although we finally had some nice, spring weather here, I spent some time in my craft room making cards for the hop.

Although I have quite a few coffee themed digital stamps and stamps, I used the hop as an excuse to purchase this cute owl on a coffee cup from  AlexShopsArt on Etsy.  The Echo Park Coffee and Friends 6x6 paper pad made these cards together pretty easily.

I am working to make a number of cards to send to a senior community.  I sent a care package before Christmas and hope to another one ready to send soon.  (If you would like to send cards or notes, please click here for the details.)  I'm sure some of these cards will make their way into the care package.

Don't forget to link up your creation and hop along with the Spring/Summer Coffee Lovers Hop for lots of caffeinated inspiration.

Thank you for stopping by!

You Don't Succ

My daughter loves succulents.  When I was scrolling through my digital stamps, I saw some cute digis from Craft Starters that I though would be perfect for a card for her.    (These were FREE from Craft Starters - link below)  I used google to get ideas for a sentiment.  After that, the card came together really quickly.

For the inside of the card, I used a couple of free fonts to design a sentiment and colored it with Copics.   To finish it off I insert the digital stamp again and recolored to be lighter.

For some reason, the song Sucker by the Jonas Brothers runs through my head every time I look at this card.  LOL

Thank you for stopping by!  Have a great day!

Happy Camper

 My husband really wants to purchase a travel trailer.  We talk about it almost daily trying to decide what size and style would work best for our family, places we want to visit, tips and tricks we have read on-line, etc.   

When I saw this camper stamp on Etsy from Pretty Cute Stamps, I knew it would be perfect for a birthday card for my husband.

I had the October Afternoon Campfire 8x8 paper pad in my stash and finally had the perfect opportunity to use them.   To add texture, I roughed up the edges of the papers and use some pieces die cut from a Starbucks coffee sleeve.  Lastly, I added some stickers that I found in my stash.

Thank you for stopping by!  Have a great day!

Here for the Boos

Hello!  Today I'm sharing some Halloween cards that I made to send to some of my girl friends.  When we get together (pre-COVID) there was usually a glass of wine or a martini involved.  I thought the pun would be appropriate.  I think any of them follow my blog so I am safe posting them here.

I originally wanted to create a spooky card but when I looked through my files of images I found these cute ones and decided to use them.

The next one uses different papers with the same design.  I was trying to use up some of the partially used paper pads that I have laying around.  Also, I actually left some white space!  It is mostly covered, but there is some showing.  I hardly ever do that.  Usually I keep fussing until no white space if left.

The ghosts' heads and hands along with the jack o lantern are all popped out using dimensional foam. 

 

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

Quoth the Raven, "Nevermore."

 I have had this image from A Day for Daisies for a long time. I think it was a freebie digital stamp some time ago.  I was never brave enough to try to color it before but decided to give it a try.  I am pretty pleased with how this worked out.  

Here is a closer look at the image.   The back ground is a bit more purple in real life and works well with the background papers.   Did you notice the ravens in the DP?  I was really excited when I notice I had paper with ravens.  I think I won this paper years ago and had it sitting my stash.

When poking through my craft supplies I found a jar of plastic spiders.  I don't know why I have them but I though one would work well on this card.   I didn't have a sentiment that worked well so I used some alphabet stickers that I had stashed and used ink to grunge them up a bit. 

So what do you think?

Thank you for stopping by!   I hope you have a great day!

Wishing you Peace, Love, & Joy

Hello!  I hope all is well with you.  It has been a busy, crazy week here.  I live just outside Kenosha, WI and things have been a little crazy.  It is so sad to see what has happened in my hometown.  To finish off the week, I moved my baby girl to college.  I know she has a good head on her shoulders but I am still worried about her and all the usual college issues kids run into and then add COVID into the mix.  With all that going on, I needed some serious crafting therapy.

I decided to use one of the Lili of the Valley digital images I bought during a sale a couple of months ago. I used this sweet image, Snowy Robins, and paired it with non-traditional Christmas colors to make 2 new cards for my stash.  

I used pretty much the same image, stamps, and papers to make 2 different cards.

 Thank you for stopping by!   I hope you have a great day.

Shine Bright Sunflowers

Hello!  I hope your weekend is going well.  After the thunderstorms we had at the end of the week, the weather is gorgeous now.  After posting this I am heading outside to enjoy the weather.

I have mentioned before that sunflowers are my favorite flowers.  Last week, I was scrolling through all the digital stamps available on Etsy and found this image from Twinkle Lane Designs.  I bought it immediately and started coloring with Copic markers that evening.   I had to wait until today to have time to make cards with the images.

For the first card, I kept the design pretty simple.  I used a few scraps I had from a  Penny Black paper pad, stamped a sentiment, and added some buttons and bakers twine.

For the second card, I used left over pieces from a My Mind's eye paper pad.  A dry embossed panel added some texture.   I popped up parts of both sunflowers to add dimension.

Here is a closer look at the dimension.

Thank you for stopping by!  Stay safe and healthy!

We Mermaid To Craft!

Hello!  This month the challenge at the Papercraft Challenge is Ocean / Water.   Although I did not need to post a project as a DT member until the August challenge, I wanted to participate.  

This is the first time I colored hair a non-natural color.   I have to say I really struggled.   After coloring the image about six times, I finally settled on the image I used below.  This was also the first time I colored a water background.  I added sequins, Nuvo drops, and used glitter pen as accents.

This digital image is from Star Jam Lines on Etsy.

Hydrangea Hello and an Announcement!

Lately I have found coloring larger floral images relaxing so I spent sometime last week coloring this hydrangea digital image from Nina B. Designs. 

I colored the same image 2 different ways.  I kept the layouts pretty simple because the image is so big and bold.  One layout uses designer papers and one does not.  I used the same sentiment on both cards.

Which card do you like best?

I'm also excited to announce that I have joined the Papercraft Business Design Team!  You can find the Papercraft Business website and Papercraft Business Challenge by clicking the hyperlinks.    I can't wait to share the fun with you.

Happy Father's Day

Hello!  I'm popping in quick today to share a Father's Day card I made over the weekend.  I made this card for my dad using this hand drawn deer digital stamp from Divine Ink Creations on Etsy.  I added the sentiment.

I inked a piece of water color paper from Stampin' Up and then lined up in my printer to add the image and sentiment.  I used green and black card stock that I had handy and added some striped washi tape for interest.

Overall this card is more CAS than my usual style and I'm not sure I like it.  I guess it is good to go outside your comfort zone sometimes.

I hope you have a great day! Stay safe!
