Kitty By The Window

 

Hello and welcome.  Today I'd like to share a card I finally assembled using some of the new Fall and Halloween image sets from Conjurer of Dreams.  Since I'm a "crazy cat lady", I just had to use the  Cat at the Window as my main image.  I combined that with the following in Photoshop© before printing out to assemble: Fall Silk, Photo Corners and Gothic Floral Background for my base.  After adding some purple brads from my stash, I adhered the cat image panel to some scrap orchid card stock then popped it up over the gothic floral card base using pop up glue dots.  The only embellishments added was a mauve organdy ribbon and some black gems.  I'm really happy with how this one turned out.

What's The Word Bird?

 

Hello and welcome.  Today I'd like to share with you a card I made for my sister-in-law's birthday using an image from Conjurer of Dreams. 

After combining one of the Old Bird images, with my own saying in Photoshop©, I lightly stippled Tim Holtz tattered rose distress ink around the image to soften the white space a bit before layering and adding brads.  Once the image panel was finished, I added it to a dry embossed card using glue dots.  Taking my blending brush, I lightly stippled more tattered rose around the edges and over the embossed images...  After adding some color spritzed from an old Stampin Up marker, I added some Crafty Meraki Midnight Illusion bling to finish it off.

Tis The Season

 

Hello and welcome.  I'd like to share with you a card I made using a Gecko Galz digital stamp from their Gibson Girls digital stamp set that I paired with some wave designer paper I've had in my stash for years and never used.

I started out by printing the image onto Neenah white card stock before coloring using Castle Arts colored pencils.  Once I was finished coloring, I layered the image panel, added brads and distressed it using a paper distresser before setting aside.  After I added the designer paper to my card, I die cut a few waves from scrap card stock using an old My Favorite Things die.  Once I had adhered the waves to my card, I added the image panel popping it up over the waves using pop dots.  The final touch was adding some blue sequins to finish it off.  I'm pleased with how this turned out.

Run Up To Christmas Hop 2023 Week 1

 

 

 

Hello friends and welcome to the #runuptochristmashop2023 hosted by @love_smile_and_craft and @kellys.craft. We are going to make a card each week for 12 weeks until Christmas. This week's theme is "Pink Christmas" and I'm using a retired set from Concord and 9th called Triangle Trees since I was stamping it while dealing with another migraine.  Plus the trees remind me of the tree lot in A Charlie Brown Christmas.

I started out by stamping my trees in Versamagic pink petunia chalk ink on Neenah white card stock before stamping the saying in memento tuxedo black then layering and adding pink brads.  My card is then stamped using a retired Stampin Up holly jumbo wheel using regal rose ink before sponging the same ink around the edges.  After adhering my layered image panel, I stippled Tim Holtz tattered rose and aged mahogany distress inks around my trees.  The final embellishment was adding some tiny Gin and Tonic star sequins from Picket Fence Studios. I'm pretty happy with how this turned out.

Little Pumpkin Kitty

Hello and welcome. I've had this cute little image from Tiddly Inks called Fall Mavis (now retired although you can still get her as part of this image) for some time and just never did anything with it.  I wanted to go with a fairly clean and simple feel to the card so I did very little with embellishing the card.

After printing my image onto white card stock and, coloring with both prismacolor and copic markers, I stippled pumpkin pie and garden green inks around it before layering.  I then dry embossed a pumpkin pie panel using my big shot and pumpkin harvest cuttlebug embossing folder before rubbing the panel in pumpkin pie ink.  All this was then placed onto a garden green card.  I then added my layered image using pop up glue dots, a small black/white gingham knot, and silver circle clip.  As an afterthought, I pulled out my black glaze embossing pen to highlight parts of the Mavis image.
