Easter Bunny

Happy Easter!

Hello! I created this quick Easter card with a printed image that I had saved on my computer. After printing the image that I resized, I inked the edges with Pilot Metallic Gold marker and attached to a green panel embossed with Cuttlebug EF Divine Swirls. Finished with a yellow card base and an old Hero Arts sentiment embossed with Gold EP.

Out on the Farm on a Snowy Christmas Day

 

Hello! I have another Christmas card inspired by Peace On Earth Challenge #13 Anything Christmas. This time my card features an image of a horse and a snowy scene. Check out the mood board below to see the horse that inspired me.  I printed the scene from a file in my computer on white CS and trimmed it to fit the card size. Added some texture to the top of the image with Swiss Dot EF,  Also used Nuvo Crystal dots on the snow and snowy fence  and Diamond Stickles on the ornaments on the tree and garland. Sadly the texture and shine does not show in the photo but looks great in real life.  Added a mat of textured white paper.  Card base is a patterned paper embossed with Gingham EF.  Finished with a die cut sentiment from the same patterned paper.

Supplies: Cheery Lynn Merry Christmas Die, Cuttlebug Gingham EF, Cuttlebug Swiss Dots EF, Corner Punch, White CS, DCWV Pattern Paper from Christmas Basics Pad, Diamond Stickles, Nuvo White Crystal Dots.

Candle Trio

Hello! This Christmas card was inspired by the current Peace On Earth Christmas Challenge mood board shown below. The picture of the lantern with candles reminded me of a Memory Box Die in my collection so I used it to create this card.  The Gold Panel made with gold metallic CS and glitter gel and a stencil was actually leftover from another project.  It was a perfect fit for the Candle Trio that I die cut several times  and layered and pieced together. 

Supplies used: My Favorite Things Stencil Radiating Rays, Memory Box Die Little Candle Trio, Creative Expressions Sue Wilson Die Merry Christmas, Spellbinders Rectangle Die, GKD Glitz Glitter Gel, Diamond Stickles, Red Cardstock, Green Cardstock, Mulberry Green Paper, Gold Metallic Cardstock, Red and Yellow Copics.

Easter Blessings

Hello! Today I am sharing 2 Easter cards that I made using a file of an artist drawing that I had saved in a file.  I printed the image on watercolor paper twice and trimmed to fit my card. I inked the edges with Pilot Metallic Gold Marker. On the first card I used a background that I created with Gold Metallic CS, a My Favorite Things stencil called Radiating Rays, and GKD Gold Glitter Gel. I assembled all on a Bright Green textured card base. The Easter sentiment from GKD was stamped with Versamark ink and heat embossed with Gold EP.

. 

The second card was made in the same way, but I used a mat of Gold Metallic paper that was embossed with a Cuttlebug EF Kassies Brocade.

To Save or Throwaway

Hello! Are you one of those card makers, like me, who is always seeing an item that could be repurposed on a card and hoard all sorts of items for that purpose?  I am trying to use up some of these saved items instead of just throwing in a box.  This week I purchased a garden flag and the picture on the package was perfect for a card.  (See photo below) So I trimmed the glossy photo from the package and attached to a scrap of blue cardstock and then to a card base of Textured Green CS from my stash.  Stamped the sentiment from my stamp stash with GKD Blue ink and heat embossed with Clear EP to create a Birthday Card. 

Challenge:
As You Like It Challenge: To recycle or buy new.  My card is made from a recycled package. I really like to buy new but there is a great satisfaction when I can salvage something and create something without spending money.  And it's also a challenge to my creative side to do so.

Groovy NBUS

Hello!  I have been playing with some groovy colors again. This time I have created a card with a tie dye tee shirt using a NBUS stamp from Custer's Last Stamp which has to be from 2009 or before. I think this stamp was part of a blog giveaway. I stamped the shirt outline with DOI Wilted Violet and created the tie dye design with Memento Markers Rose Bud, Cantaloupe, Pear Tart, and Tangelo. (Used a older Gina K Design Doily stamp with the markers and a spritz of water for this look, but that's another story). After water coloring the shirt, I fussy cut it and attached it to a white background embossed with Darice Frenzy Flowers EF.  That added some 60's Flower Power vibes to the design.  Finished with some NBUS sentiments from 2009 GKD Taglines and purple gems. Used bright Green Card base.  And the small heart stamp is also GKD.
