Christmas Ribbon Wreath Card

The 3 little christmas kittens from Cornish Heritage Farms

CDAC PROGRESSIVE FREEBE CHALLENGES

I received some free digital stamps from crafters digital art center and made a few cards. This was quite fun.

Pearlex on Black

I used black glossy paper for this card with green, blue and gold powder. I used the same heat embossed technique as for the card below.I colored the humminbird image with chalks.

Pearlex Heat embossed

I made this card for a friends birthday. It was hard to give away because I loved the way it turned out. I put some glue onto glossy cardstock then added a few colors of pearlex (I think it was gold bronze and copper)and stippled it around. Then I used my heat tool to bubble it up until it didn't bubble anymore.The edges were outlined with a gold krylon pen. I colored the stamped image with sakura glitter gel pens and added a bow for the finishing touch.

Autumn Blaze

Here the theme was to make a card from something that I found outside.The backgroud paper is Cardstock with Ranger Distressed Inks. To distress paper I Crumpled paper, smoothed it out, rubbed ink directly from pad to the paper, layered using 3 colors,then sprayed with water and let dry.
I glued sand on the frame around the stamped image. Then added sunflower seeds and the finishing touch was a few Peragrin Falcon feathers from a Juvenille that had visited our birdbath almost every morning that summer. Card and Keepsake in one!

Christmas Card with Gift Card Holder

Here I made a christmas card with an insert inside to hold a gift card. I put some different colored chalks on a scalloped circle then stamped the image over top with clear versamark. I took a tissue and rubbed it over the image for the finishing touch.

I'm Back!

I've been neglecting my blogging for a year! It's time I added everything that I have done during that time. I'll try and remember all the cards and see if I can put them in order of month.
After my birthday last year I went to a monthly 'Just Stampers' meeting. We made cards which incorporated stamping on vellum. It also included some glitter techniques. I found it very messy with glitter everywhere, lol. It was great fun! We also made a vellum card which I enjoyed even more.

'Pull out Tag Cards'

I went over to a friend's house and she showed me how to make thes beautiful cards. I stayed for lunch and we made the day of it. We had tons of fun!
This 1st card has a light crackle finish to it. I also used watercolor pencils and 'Twinkling H20's' for the 1st time and now I'm hooked!




This second card was to help me jog my memory so I wouldn't forget how to make it again. I can't wait to make another one with a housemouse stamp!

'Shades of Blue'

I made this card for a 'Shades of Blue'swap that we were scheduled to do one month but the group meeting was cancelled. I didn't want the card to go to waste so I gave it to someone in my group that was moving to Ontario. That night she received many gorgeous cards!
Here I used alcohol ink in blue and silver shades on glossy photo paper. After it dried, I embossed with the Diamonds in the rough cuttlebug embossing folder.

New Spirelli Cards

I made this spirelli card for a private swap from Pam Barnes,a member from one of my groups.
I just love the look of copper on black!
Look Below to see what I received in return!



In return I received this elegant card and ATC! Just awesome!

Wedding card

This is the wedding card that I made for a friend of mine. I loved the way she made her invitations so I tried to make a card close to the same way. The difference was the size, Here is a copy of the wedding card that I received.

This is what the inside of the wedding card looks like.I added a pocket for the presentation money.My card was smaller than the invitation, I used a different cuttlebug folder (birds and swirls), I used dark pink on light pink layering and she used light pink on dark pink.


This is the inside of the wedding invitation.I love the cuttlebug die that she used for the flower and as soon as I can I'm going out to Michaels and buying it!
This was the most fabulous wedding reception that I've ever been at! They had assigned seating, A huge block of ice with their Sir Name Initial in it on a desk between the doors of the hotel dinner room. Inside the dining room everything was decorated in the wedding colors, there was a table for the kids loaded with white and pink candy sticks,jelly beans, bubble gum, gummy hearts and candy hearts.
There was a huge dessert table (and cake). Each guest received a lovely frosted glass with wedding words on it (I would have posted a picture but I gave the glass to my daughter). Videos on either side of the room were played of the speakers while they were talking (it was great because we had a table in the corner of the room and couldn't see the speakers very well and watching the screen was much more relaxing).




The meal was extrordinary (too much to describe) and dessert at our table was an ice egg filled with a chocolate mouse and whip cream on top of a tiny rolo)as small hole in the front of the egg enabled us to eat this decadent dessert.
I had a wonderful time!

Graduation Party Inviations

My daughter and I put together these grad inviations. We bought the CS and Vellum at Michaels with our 50% off coupon (10invitations for $8). Then we attached a tiny scroll and hat that we made.
I added this verse to the scroll.

Here is the Graduation Card That I made Her.

My first Spirelli Card

This is my 1st Sprielli Card. I have seen so many lovely spirelli cards but never made one myself. I decided it was time to try and make one. I had made string art pictures when I was younger but this is easier because you don't have to bang a bunch of nails into a board before you get started, lol.
For this card I used my largest scalloped nestability die and put it through my cuttlebug approx 4"(sandwiched in between a B and C plate). I also used a smaller nestability die to cut the smaller circle 2 1/2" (if you have the nestabilities it's the middle die). I stamped the smaller circle and colored it. I then used my Krylon gold leafing pen and outlined the edge in gold. Using my glue runner I glued the smaller circle to the center of the larger circle. Beginning anywhere on the large scalloped circle, I taped the end of a spool of gold metalic thread to the back and started wrapping the thread over and around my circle making sure I wrapped around every 8th space forward to back. I continued until I had wrapped my thread around each scalloped edge twice then cut the thread and taped it to the back. For the card I first folded my cardstock, then cut it out 5 1/2" x 4 1/2 "I added a strip of ribbon down the center of my card, then used pop-dots to put my finished product on my card. Then I decorated it with some flower stickers on each corner.

"Puzzled"

This is a card I made with the new Cuttlebug 'Puzzled' Die. I stamped a housemouse image on cardstock, colored it with chalks and markers then put it through my cuttlebug. I love the effect!

Latest Creation

I made this card for my Daughter's 26th birthday. She was supposed to be born on Valentines day but came early so I added a few hearts.

The Best Card Ever!

This card was sent to me all the way from Pitt Meadows B.C from my favorite second neice! Devon is 9 years old and the most adorable young lady I know!

What a wonderful job she did on this card! I love the stickers,glitter & gems but most of all ...all the work and love she put into this card!

I am very proud of you Devon! You Rock!!!

New Card

Yesterday I was playing with inks. For my background I used photo paper. I dropped 2
shades of purple rainbow ink all over the page, then I
added alcohol blending solution and ink from my Krylon
silver leafing pen. I then took a piece of felt and
pat it all around until the page was filled. I waited
until the page was completely dry then put it through
my new cuttlebug machine with the Stylized Flowers
folder.
