Gopher A Coffee?

 

Hello and welcome. I hope everyone had a great Christmas.  Today I'd like to share a quick card made using images from Gerda Steiner Designs.  Now, if you're a last minute shopper for Holiday's, Birthday's or even Just Because today's card makes a perfect gift card holder.

 

I started out by stamping images from Gerda's Gopher It! (sold out at the moment) and Little Things in memento tuxedo black ink onto Copic© white card stock before coloring using my Ohuhu markers.  Once the coloring was finished, I lightly stippled some stormy sky distress ink, left over on my blending brush from another project, around the images then layered and added faux brads.  I then adhered the image panel to a dry embossed card base using glue dots.  The final touches were, faux stitches, bling, stickles, punched butterfly and a small gingham bow.  I then stamped the inside pocket, layered, and added a gift card.  I'm pretty happy with how this turned out.

Love You A Latte

 

Hello and welcome.  I hope you had a wonderful Christmas with family and/or friends.  Today I'd like to share with you a slimline card I made a couple of weeks back and just hadn't had time to post it before now using the I Love You A Latte digital set from Angie Blom Designs.  I've had this digital image printed for some time and just never used it before now (NBUS).

 

I started out by printing the image onto Hammermill white card stock before coloring using my Ohuhu markers.  Once my coloring was finished, I lightly stippled Tim Holtz stormy sky distress ink that was leftover from another project before layering and adding some sequins to finish it off.  I'm pretty happy with how it turned out especially since I've been dealing with this rotten flu bug still.  A word of advice.....don't get it!

Dear Santa Kitty's

 

Hello and welcome.  Today I'd like to share a Christmas card I made for my 2026 stash using images from Gerda Steiner Designs.   

 

I started out by stamping images from the Christmas Kitten stamp set onto Hammermill white card stock using memento tuxedo black ink before coloring using Ohuhu markers and a white chalk marker. Once the coloring was finished, I layered it and added some red brads before adhering it to a dry embossed card.  The final touches were some added bling, gold cord and using a clear 3D glaze pen to highlight parts of the images.  As an afterthought, I lightly stippled some tattered rose distress ink around the playful kittens.  I'm pretty happy with how this turned out especially since I've been battling the flu the last couple of weeks.

More Holiday Inspiration

 

 

Hello and welcome.  Today I'd like to share with you a couple of projects that I finally finished thanks to the flu. 

 

First up, is a set of ATC's made using the free challenge sheet for the December Conjurer of Dreams ATC challenge.  I did all of the image layering digitally before printing then adding my card stock layers using scraps.  Each ATC was then embellished using stickles, bling, photo corners from my stash and bows.

Next up is a snarky card made using the Christmas Mugshots and Wanted Poster Blanks from Conjurer of Dreams.  After combining the two sets digitally, I printed it out, added walnut stain distress ink along the edges before layering and adding brads.  I then printed out the Wood Bark Background, and adhered it to my card base before sponging walnut stain distress ink along the edges.  Once my layered image was adhered to the card base, I added some copper sequins and a epoxy candy cane sticker to finish it off.

Hello and welcome.  Today begins a new challenge over at Pammie's Inky Pinkies and this week we're being sponsored by Lawn Fawn.  I would like to thank them for their sponsorship for this week's challenge. My card this week was made using one of my favorite Lawn Fawn sets Car Critters and Car Critters Christmas Add On.  My husband also loves these little guys so that's a plus.

 

I started out by stamping all of my images in memento tuxedo black ink before coloring them using my Ohuhu markers.  Once the coloring was finished, I fussy cut out the additional images I had stamped, layered my image panel before adding some faux brads and popped up images.  After I dry embossed my card base, I added a couple of Jolee's snowflake stickers I had in my stash before adding star dust stickles to finish it off.
