Hello Gang,

Yesterday was Betty from Simply Betty Stamps’ birthday.  I think she thought we forgot her LOL. So we all decided to mail her a card and do a blog hop as the cards would get to her at different times.  Here is the card I made her:

The lovely image was provided to us by The Stampin Chef- Tamara.  Isn’t she lovely.  You can find her here.

The papers are from: Bo Bunny Mama-razzi; the Labels are from Recollections Haunted.  The bling is from Recollections as well. The web was made with Sizzix Tim Holtz Alterations Cobwebs

She was colored with Copics: E00, E11, E13, R21; N5,7,9; C5,7,9; R24, 27, 29, C5; E000; C00,C1,3.

Happy Birthday Miss Betty!  You Rock!

Hey there all my little blogger friends.  Is everyone ready for the 4th of July?  I am!  My  son is coming home for a week!  Can I get a whoop whoop!  We plan on doing some camping and fishing and in general staying high in the mountains away from the heat.  He is currently living in Yuma, Arizona where the temps are in the 110-120 (43-48 for my European friends) degrees daily so our mild 100 degrees should be a welcome change LOL.

Anyway, back to crafty stuff.  Today’s card is Summer by Simply B Stamps.  Every month Miss Betty gives us a free digi to use for a monthly challenge.  I LOVE this image!  The challenge was to make your own background, not stamped.  I used my alcohol inks to make the background and my Spellbinders Flourish 2  and EK Success Patterned Circles punch.

Thank you for looking.

Jazz says hi…he’s has been struggling with allergies this year.  Poor puppy.  The medicine seems to be helping.

Hey Gang!  Hope you are all having a great weekend.  I am still here in Arizona enjoying the son and the sun. LOL

This card was made for my other son’s 20th birthday.  He is really into street dance right now.  I used my silhouette to cut out the shape as I couldn’t find any stamps that were exactly what I was looking for.

The paper, We are memory keepers- Teen Angst, is my only embellishment.  Oops, I forgot I put small round silver dots from Recollections on the side.  I cut celebrate out using my cameo.  I cut a smaller version of the dancer for the inside.  I used a Tim Holtz stamp for the sentiment. “to be all that is possible, we must attempt the impossible;  To be all that we can be, we must dream of being more.”

Thanks for visiting.  I’ll be back next week. If you see Jazzy, give him a scratch for me.

Come and join us.  Request to join Simply B stamps on Facebook here and ask Betty or Corinne for the image.  It is free if you do the challenge.  They are a great group of gals. The challenge is here.

Hey Gang, How’s everyone doing? Are you ready to start your weekend? The dogger and I are doing well and looking forward to some time off.

Today’s post is a special one, for me at least.  I am going to take a chance and apply for a design team position at the Paper Shelter. Though I am relatively new to the blog world, I would love the opportunity to work with such awesome images.

Here is the card.  It uses the fabulous image Love in Venice.  Isn’t it sweet. Years ago I was blessed with the opportunity of seeing Venice, Italy in person.  Very beautiful and romantic.

Cheeky Christmas

Good Morning!

Jazz is off for a sleepover with his little friend Sissy for the evening.  Lucky dog. And I am off to a deer hunt with my sweetie.  So I have left you a Christmas card with Mr. Blogger and hope he posts it correctly while I am away.

This little cutie Is Cheeky Christmas by Greeting Farms.  I colored her with Copics.  I added DecoArt Glistening Snow Writer  to the muff and hat. It adds glitter but it’s slightly dimensional .  When you first put it on, it is really puffy and not very glittery.  As it dries it goes down and becomes more glittery. I usually prefer a more subtle look, but this image has some sass and sass requires bolder glitter. tee hee

 

 

Spellbinders die: Beaded Circles, Petite Scalloped Ovals Large, Standard Circles Large

Clear stamp: Stamp set I have had long before I even thought about blogging.  Cannot find to link.  So sorry

Hope you are enjoying your weekend.

Thanks for looking.

Embossed Get well wishes

Hello again.  Hope your Monday is going well.  Today’s card is a get well card using a combination of both the Joseph’s coat technique as well as th emerging color technique.  There are great tutorials here at Splitcoaststampers for each of these.

I really enjoyed getting inky this weekend.  I am definitely going to play with this technique again.

  • First I laid down color on the craft mat.  Barn Door, Wild Honey, Mustard Seed, Peeled Paint, Faded Jeans, in that order.
  • Then I took the stamp Leafy Glade from Stampin Up.  I stamped it into the color, then picked the stamp back up again and stamped it into the color again, just a little lower than the last time.  I then did this once more but this time placing the stamp down higher in the color slightly.  This blends the colors slightly.
  •  Then I spritzed the stamps slightly with water and stamped it onto white cardstock.
  •  I then placed the Stampin Up stamp Definitely Decorative Daisy (the fill in stamp) into versamark ink and stamped it onto the Leafy Glade stamped image.
  • I embossed the flowers with clear embossing powder and heat set it.
  •   I then used the Black Soot ink pad and rubbed it over the entire thing.  When it was completely filled I used a damp paper towel to remove the black from the embossed flowers.
  • I then used to Labels 8 die to cut out  a portion of the sheet and mounted it on red card stock cut by hand using the outside edge of the Labels 8 die.  I tied Offray top stitch orange ribbon  into a bow.  I used a Stampin’ up punch and stamped a sentiment from the Stampin’ Up- Teeny Tiny Wishes set.  I then mounted this all onto a white card that I embossed with my polka dot cuttlebug embossing folder.

I love that the embossing almost makes the flowers look dewy.

Thank you for looking.
