WANTED: For A Little Too Much Fun

 

Hello and welcome.  Today I'd like to share a couple of cards I've had finished for a bit but not able to upload thanks to my migraine, and fibromyalgia, flare using images from Conjurer of Dreams.

 

First up is a card made using the Wanted Poster along with the Leprechaun Mugshots.  I just love the COD mugshot sets.  What a great way to have some snarky fun.  After combining the image sets, I printed it out onto Hammermill white card stock before coloring using my Ohuhu markers.  Once the coloring was finished, I layered the main image, distressed using a distressing tool, then stippled some Tim Holtz walnut stain distress ink using a blender brush.  After adding some vintage brads, I highlighted the board saying using a white gel pen then added some bling.  As an afterthought, I "wrote" over the WANTED using my Ohuhu Metallic Glitter markers.  I'm really pleased with how this turned out.

Next up, is another WANTED "poster" using COD's Easter Bunny Mugshots and the same Wanted image.  Again I colored the mugshot using my Ohuhu© markers before stippling more walnut stain distress ink around it before adding it to a card covered with Easter Morning designer paper. The "charges" are  highlighted using a white gel pen before adding some organdy ribbon and flat backed MFT acrylic dots I've had for years and not used to finish it off.  I'm really happy how this one turned out.

Happy St. Patty's Day

 

Hello and welcome.  Quick post today since I'm still dealing with a nasty migraine, and fibromyalgia, flare.  I'd like to share a couple of quick cards I finished several days ago, but couldn't post because of pain.   I made them both using images from Conjurer of Dreams using the following sets: Grumpy Leprechauns, green silks.  I kept them both pretty simple and added only ribbon scraps and bling to finish them off.

Celebrate

 

 

Hello and welcome.  Today I'd like to share a quick New Year's card I made using the Fantastic Fireworks digital set from Conjurer of Dreams.  

 

I started by printing one of the images onto Neenah white card stock (4 times for 4 cards) before layering and adding some navy blue brads.  Once that was finished, I adhered the layered image to the card base using glue dots.  I then added a chipboard saying I found at Dollar Tree© using Ranger© glossy accents before adding some bling to the firework centers.  I'm really happy with how these turned out.

Hello and welcome.  Today begins a new challenge over at Pammie's Inky Pinkies and this week we're being sponsored by Sunbird Spark (formerly Penguin Palace).  I would like to thank them for their sponsorship of this week's challenge. It's freaking hot here right now so, for my card, I went with a cooler fall theme and used the Happy Fall digital images.  

 

After printing my scene on Neenah white card stock, I colored everything using Ohuhu markers before layering and adding faux brads.  Once I adhered the layered image to the card, I stippled bits of several inks leftover from previous projects for a fall feel.  I then punched several leaves from scrap card stock and adhered those to the card.  The final touches were copper sequin leaves, sequin flowers and an orange bling to the "i" in pumpkin.

Hello and welcome.  Today begins a new challenge over at Pammie's Inky Pinkies and this week we're being sponsored by Polkadoodles.  I would like to thank them for their sponsorship.  Since I've been dealing with flare ups of my migraines and fibromyalgia lately, I decided to go a bit easy on myself with today's card and took the pre-colored fishbowl from the Too Cute Christmas Big Kahuna Bundle and paired it with three uncolored fishes so I would just have to color the fish.  This is a fast and easy way to get some Christmas cards done especially if you're not feeling well.  Once I had my image printed, and colored, I lightly stippled some stormy sky distress ink around my image, layered and added some silver brads from my stash.  Taking a red/silver ribbon, I added that to the top before tying into a knot.  After adding some faux sewing and bling for the bubbles, my card was finished.

Hello and welcome.  Today begins a new challenge over at Pammie's Inky Pinkies and this week we're being sponsored by Varada Sharma.  I would like to thank Varada for her sponsorship of this week's challenge. Now it's getting hot where I live.  We're supposed to be in triple digits by next weekend so I'm craving ice cream like crazy.  So, I decided to use Varada's Sweet Summer digital stamp set.  

After combining the sundae, and saying in Photoshop©, I colored it using my Ohuhu Honolulu markers before trimming down to size and stippling Tim Holtz tattered rose distress ink around the edges.  Once the main image was layered, I added some bling brads before adhering to a pink card with some Making Memories© designer paper I've had for at least a decade (no joke).  A pink organdy ribbon, and clear 3D glaze pen on the chocolate fudge, finished the card off.  I'm happy with how this turned out.

Hello and welcome.  Today begins a new challenge over at Pammie's Inky Pinkies and this week WE are sponsoring the challenge for a gift certificate to My Favorite Things.  For my card this week, I pulled out a retired set called Happy Waddle (I've had for some time) and a slimline card for a one-layer look. After stamping the images in memento tuxedo black ink, and coloring using my Castle Arts pencils, I stenciled the background clouds using a PFS slimline cloud coverage stencil and Tim Holtz stormy sky before stippling tumbled glass distress ink for the "ice".    The only embellishments added was diamond and waterfall ice stickles.

Happy Birthday Chef

Hello and welcome.  Today I'd like to share a clean and simple (CAS) card I made for a few challenges.  I started out by dusting off an old, retired, Stampin Up set called Viola and stamped my images and saying in memento tuxedo black.  Taking my Castle Arts pencils, I colored only the cake/candle, plate and neck handkerchief before decided to highlight parts of the saying as well.  Viola!!  Literally done!  It took longer to photograph then color thanks to a residual migraine and lingering COVID stuff.

Sunflower Advice

 Hello and welcome.  I don't know about you, but so far I'm not impressed with the 30 day trial for 2022.  That being said, I have a card to share with you using an Impression Obsession digital stamp I've had for sometime and never used (NBUS) called Advice From A Sunflower and is a freebie too.

After printing my image off onto Hammermill white card stock, I colored it using both prismacolor and copic markers before stippling Tim Holtz stormy sky distress ink using PFS Blending Brushes around the edges and layering.  Once the layering was finished, I added some vintage brads and faux sewing before adding to my card.  The final touch was highlighting parts of the saying using Sakura 3D glaze pens.

The Early Bird

Hello and welcome. First, I'd like to apologize for not posting in a while.  I've been dealing with some health issues on top of my migraines. 

 

Today I'd like to share a card I made using an old Garfield stamp (Rubber Stampede) and this hilarious saying from Art Impressions and a long retired Stampin Up set Espress Yourself.

I started out by stamping Garfield and my saying onto some scrap white card stock in memento tuxedo black ink before coloring Castle Art pencils using the Art Nudge #4 to guide my color combo.  Once my coloring was finished, I lightly stippled some dusty durango ink around the image panel using my Picket Fence Studio Blending Brushes before layering and adding some brads.  I then took a black artist pen and added some faux sewing around the edges.  The card is stamped using the coffee cup border from Espress Yourself in dusty durango ink.  I then stamped the coffee beans also in dusty durango ink and layered onto a gray card stock scrap before adding my layered image panel popping it up using dimensionals.  I then finished the card off using some copper cord from my stash.

Well Behaved Women

 

Hello and welcome.  Today I'm guest designing over at the Pixie's Crafty Workshop #410 and I've used a whole bunch of snippets for my card.  In fact, just about everything is from a snippet except the card base. First, I would like to thank Diane for letting me guest host this fortnight.

I started out by trimming a Neenah white scrap panel before stamping the background pyramids from Clearly Besotted's Egyptian Feline (NBUS) and coloring using Castle Art Pencils before stamping the pyramids again onto scrap caramel card stock, then cutting them out and adhering over the colored pyramids using glue dots.  I then stamped the saying above before stamping the remaining images onto scrap white card stock, again coloring with pencils, before cutting them all out and adhering using glue dots.  I then die cut the sun, blended some yo-yo yellow ink on the edges before popping that up using dimensionals.  Taking scraps of green card stock, I punched out the "hanging fern" and flowers adhering all of those using Ranger glossy accents.  The final touches were adding some extra flowers in the vases, ice stickle highlights, and white gel pen to accent my cats eyes.

Let's Go To The Beach!

 

Hello and welcome to another Bugaboo freebie friday.  This week's freebie takes us to the beach, sand between our toes and a whole lot cooler weather than what most of the West has been experiencing.

After printing my image off onto Neenah white card stock, I colored it using prismacolor and copic markers before stamping my "sand", adding some puffy clouds and then the background water.  Once she was layered using scrap card stock, I added brads and then adhered the image panel to a dry embossed card using my big shot and a cuttlebug shell collage embossing folder.  The saying was stamped onto scrap white card stock before punching it, and the corresponding layer, out using my Stampin Up oval punches.  I then added a crab and sea anemone, also punched from scraps.  The only other embellishments were some gold cord ribbon, ice stickles to highlight the water and a gold sand dollar I bought at a stamp convention over a decade ago and never used.

Someone's Reason To Smile

Hello and welcome.  Today I have an Oldie But Goodie from Bugaboo Stamps called Someone's Reason which includes a digitally colored image as well as the line art one for you to color.  I've had this image for a while now and just haven't used it until now (NBUS).

After printing my image onto Hammermill white card stock, I colored it using both prismacolor and copic markers before layering it and adding some white brads.  My card is made using Stampin Up regal rose card stock with a long retired mini Stampin Up set called Beyond The Basics stamped in regal rose ink with a blush/white textured ribbon.  Once I added the layered image, I highlighted parts of it using Sakura 3D glaze pen and a Sakura Souffle pen.  The final touches were Ranger diamond ice stickles and some Picket Fence Studio Gin and Tonic sequins.  I am really happy with house this turned out since I'm still fighting strep throat and I really think something else as well.

Sorry To Hear You're Dragon

Hello and welcome.  Today is Freebie Friday over at Catch The Bug and we have an adorable get well dragon for you called Clyde Sorry To Hear.  You can grab him over on the Catch The Bug blog here.

After printing my image onto Neenah white card stock, I colored it using Castle Art pencils and a blender pencil before stippling Tim Holtz tumbled glass distress ink and some Stampin Up going grey around it.  Once the colored image was layered, I added some silver brads then set it aside.  Taking a grey panel, I dusted off my Sizzix Tim Holtz brick wall embossing folder and dry embossed it using my big shot then lightly stippled going grey ink over the dry embossed images.  Once the dry embossed panel was added to my card, I also added the layered image panel before stippling garden green ink around the edges of the card.  I then took some scrap card stock and punched out several flowers and greenery, adding texture using a dusty crimper, embossing stylus and a soft mouse pad.  I then adhered them to the card using Ranger Glossy Accents.  The final touch was adding bling to the centers of the flowers and highlighting parts of the image using Sakura 3D glaze pens.  I'm so happy with how it turned out since my migraines have been really active again.

Hear No Evil, See No Evil, Speak No Evil

Hello and welcome.  Today I'd like to share a card made using the We Are No Evil image from Aurora Wings.  Although I've had this image for some time, I've just never used it until now.

 

After printing the image onto white card stock and coloring using prismacolor markers, I then highlighted parts of the image using Castle Art pencils before layering.  Once I had added some gold brads, I stippled Tim Holtz tumbled glass distress ink before adding to a garden green card.  The only other embellishment was gold cord I tied into a knot at the top.  As an after thought, I stamped the saying from a retired Stampin Up set in memento black ink.  The eyes are highlighted with a white gel pen.

It's Pumpkin Time!

Yes it is!!  

 

Hello and welcome.  Today I'd like to share with you a card I made for a few challenges using a retired The Cat's Pajamas clear stamp called Hello Pumpkin (K0712CL).  I absolutely LOVE this set; especially those penguins. 

 

After stamping the image in memento tuxedo black on a Hammermill white scrap, I colored it using both prismacolor and copic markers before stippling Tim Holtz stormy sky distress ink and Stampin Up garden green/summer sun/close to cocoa around it.  Once I was done stippling, I layered the image panel then added some brushed copper brads and added it to a textured cocoa card with a dry embossed border and cocoa ink sponged around the sides.  I then popped up my layered image panel over the border, added a chocolate ribbon and felt flowers I've had for years with bling centers using glue dots.

Chocolate Fantasy

Hello and welcome.  Today is Freebie Friday over at Bugaboo's blog Catch The Bug.  As soon as I started on my card, my husband saw the image and said the card had to go to his sister.  

 

After printing my image onto Hammermill white card stock, I colored it using both prismacolor and copic markers before lightly stippling Tim Holtz milled lavender distress ink then layering.  For the card, I pulled out some scrap designer paper (sorry can't remember what company) and added that to a chocolate chip card stock before adding my layered image.  I then pulled out some Stampin Up ribbon I had forgotten about, tied it into a knot, then added a copper circle clip.  The only other embellishments added were copper brads, white silk flowers I've had for years and a copper pearl bling in the center of the flowers.

Taking Door #2

Hello and welcome.  Today is Freebie Friday over at Catch The Bug.  This week the freebie is Crabby Cathy - Door 2.  Now isn't this image just perfect for 2020?

After printing off my image onto Hammermill white card stock, I colored it using both prismacolor and copic markers before stippling Tim Holtz tumbled glass and broken china around it.  Once layered, I added some brushed silver brads, orchid silk flowers I've had for years.  For my card, I've stamped a Stampin Up sanded background stamp in orchid opulence before sponging the same ink around it and adding some silver cord ribbon.  My final embellishment is a punched file folder (I've had for years and also never used) stamped with the Itty Bitty Backgrounds in warm sunshine ink and then sponged the leftover orchid opulence on it then popped up using Recollections pop dots.

I Think You're Purrrr-fect

Hello and welcome.  Today is new release Tuesday over at the Bugaboo stamps blog Catch The Bug.  Today we are sharing with you I think you're purrr-fect and is available here.  I absolutely love this cute little kitty.  I mean who wouldn't love those eyes?

After printing the image, and saying, onto Hammermill white card stock, I colored it using both prismacolor and copic markers before inking the edges in memento tuxedo black and layering.  For my card base, I added to a white card some scrap designer paper I've had for years (don't even remember who made it) before edging the card in memento black.  I then popped up the layered image, added some faux brads and then a grey/black ribbon from my stash.  The final touches were a punched flower with a gold ice stickle center as well as gold ice stickles on the the crown.
