Relax on Father's Day

Hello!  I have been playing with an old LOTV stamp with James Bear Deckchair Dreaming which I know I have had since 2010 or earlier.  I stamped the image and colored with Copics and die cut with Nesties circle die and then added to a design made with Bazzill Grapefruit Bliss CS and pattern papers from MME Collectable pad. I used the sketch from Retro Rubber Challenge #40.  I finished with a Father's Day sentiment from GKD stamped with Versamark and heat embossed with Red EP.

James With Pile Of Presents

Hello!  I am back with James, my favorite Bear from LOTV who is having trouble carrying his Christmas presents and has dropped one that is tumbling down my card.  He was stamped with Memento Rich Cocoa ink on White CS and colored with Copics and White Liquid Pearls on his Santa Cap.  I added some shine with Clear-star pen.  The falling box is a button from my stash.   Merry Christmas stamp is from MFP and stamped in Memento Lady Bug ink.  Card Base is a Textured Green CS from stash and stripe paper is American Crafts Hollyday pad topped with a Green Satin Ribbon.

James Decks The Halls for Christmas

 

 

Today I pulled out the Lili of the Valley stamp James Deck the Halls to play with.  I love all these LOTV Bears.  I stamped him on white CS with Memento Tuxedo Black and Colored with Copics E30,33,34,35, G0000,05, YG09, Y23,46, YG09, R22,24,27,C0.   I also used a Gold Glitter Pen, Gold Liquid Pearls, Silver Stickles, Wink of Stella, and Black Glaze pen.  I cut the image with a Nesties Circle die and placed on a Red Scalloped circle cut with Nesties Die.  Using a Red Card Base, I added a panel of Pattern Paper from American Crafts Hollyday pad and a Red Organza ribbon with Metallic Gold threads.  I topped the ribbon with Merry Christmas cut in Metallic Gold CS with Cheery Lynn Dies and finished with Red Rhinestones. I had made a red bow but decided to not add to keep card flat for mailing.  I do wish the sparkle and shine showed better on the photo, especially the silver tinsel.

Bears Building a Snowman

 Today I am playing with LOTV's stamp of Bears with a Snowman stamped on white CS with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored with Copics N 0,2,4, C00, B0000, YG67,G05.  I sponged the sky with Memento Summer Sky and added snow with Liquid Pearls and Frosted Lace Stickles. The image was cut with a circle die and matted on a Red Circle.  I decided to make this a gatefold card and used the sketch from Sketch Saturday. I used White CS for the card base and added panels of patterns from Pebbles Welcome Christmas paper pad.  I stamped, colored and cut out a tree to hold the card shut. This was attached with pop up dots. I finished the inside with a sentiment from Heartfelt Collection stamped in Memento Lady Bug ink and more circles.
