Hello and welcome.  Today begins a new challenge over at Pammie's Inky Pinkies and this week we're being sponsored by Gerda Steiner Designs.  I would like to thank Gerda for her sponsorship of this week's challenge. My card for this week is a one layer, clean and simple, card using Gerda's set Cats and Boxes.  I colored the images using Ohuhu markers before adding some bling to finish it off.

Woodblock Wednesday November 2025 Edition

 

 

Hello and welcome.  Today I'd like to share a card with your I made for this month's Woodblock Wednesday challenge.  We all have wood block stamps, now let's dust them off and make something with them. I haven't been able to play along for a while because of health issues - both mine and my husbands.

 

My sister in law and her husband were visiting recently and treated us to Olive Garden so I wanted to make a special thank you card for them.  I dusted off my retired Viola! and Viola To Go sets from Stampin Up (that I haven't used in years) and stamped the card before coloring it using Ohuhu markers.  Once the coloring was finished, I layered the image panel before adding some black brads and adhering the layered panel to my card.  The final touch was adding some sequins to finish it off.

Hello and welcome.  Today I'd like to share with you a New Year's card made with one of Whimsy's stamp sets called What the?!   Now I love a good snarky card, and stamp set, and this one rocks!

 

I started out by stamping the image/sayings in memento tuxedo black ink before coloring using my Ohuhu markers.  Have I said how much I love these markers??  Well, I do.  Once all of the coloring was finished, I outlined the labels using a gold Copic marker before layering and adding some faux brads.  I then lightly stippled leftover Tim Holtz stormy sky distress ink (leftover from another project) around the main image.  My background was created using the "Happy New Year" saying from the set in Stampin Up pacific pointe ink.  The final touches was adding a bit of gold bling to finish the card off.  I'm pretty happy with how it turned out.  My husband loves it.  Moral of the card, don't drink too much this holiday season or drive under the influence.

Oh Little Town......

 

....not Bethlehem.  Hello and welcome.  2nd post for me today.  If you're looking for my gnomes and coffee cards, please scroll down one post.  

 

Today I'd like to share with you a Christmas card I made using the Christmas Village set from Pajama Crafter Stamps.  I started out by stamping the town, and tree, images in memento tuxedo black ink on Copic white card stock before coloring using my Ohuhu markers.  Once the coloring was finished, I fussy cut the houses, and lamp post, out before highlighting them using Sakura 3D glaze/souffle pens.  After adding the houses using pop dots, I then highlighted the "snow" using some star dust stickles since it's the easiest way to add glitter. I'm really happy with how this turned out.  It's at least my version of a clean and simple Christmas card.  LOL

Hello Autumn, Just No Pecking

 

Hello and welcome.  Today I'd like to share a couple of cards I've had colored for a few days just hadn't gotten to assembling them yet due to pain and migraines.  

 

First up is card made using some old designer paper along with a Pattie's Creations digital image called Autumn Gnomes I had won last month.  If you don't already know me well, I LOVE GNOMES!!!!  Just about anything gnomes.  I have gnomes that I decorate the house with for each "season" and gnomes outside in my garden.  I've also got several gnome stamp sets (wood/clear/and digital) that I use.  I started out by printing these little guys on to Hammermill white card stock before coloring using my Ohuhu markers.   Once the coloring was finished, I lightly blended leftover Tim Holtz stormy sky and mowed lawn distress inks around the colored image before layering and adding some faux brads.  I then adhered my gnome panel to a ruby red card with scrap designer paper I had acquired last year.  After adding a couple of #dollartree wood elements, bling and faux stitches, my card was finished.  I'm pretty happy with how this turned out.

Next up is a sarcastic coffee card made using one of Unity Stamps new sets called Don't Cluck With My Coffee along with a retired Picket Fence Studios Down To The Last Drop 3x3 background stamp.   Normally, I'm a tea drinker (hot or iced) but have had Starbucks latte's from time to time.  Besides this chicken spoke to me so she came home. (that's my story and I'm sticking to it - LOL)  After stamping her on to Copic white card stock, I colored it using my Ohuhu markers before layering and adding some faux brads.  Taking my card base, I stamped it using my Picket Fence Studios background in orchid opulence ink before adding my layered image.  The final touches were some small white sequins and highlights using a couple of 3D glaze/souffle pens.

Hello and welcome.  Today begins a new challenge at Pammie's Inky Pinkies and this week we're being sponsored by StarStampz. I would like to thank them for their sponsorship.  My card this week uses the Sunflower Smiles digital stamp set.

 

I started out by printing the image onto Hammermill white card stock before coloring it using my Ohuhu markers.  Once the coloring was finished, I lightly stippled some Tim Holtz tumbled glass distress ink using a blending brush before layering and adding some yellow brads.  After adhering my layered panel to the card, I then added some bling and a small gingham yellow bow to finish it off.

Merry Christmas Forest Party

 

 

Hello and welcome.  Today I'd like to share with you a card I made for the Gecko Galz Monthly Christmas challenge.  I haven't been able to play along for a while due to health issues.  Though, finally, I was able to join in. 

 

I started out by digitally combining the Gecko Galz image with the following Conjurer of Dreams images: Christmas Hamsters clip art, Christmas Ducks, Cocoa Share, Christmas Mice, Metallic Silk.  After adding the "Merry Christmas" saying, I layered my scene onto the Cracked Winter Blues Background before adding a Gecko Galz Snowman from a recent Gecko Galz newsletter.  I then printed everything out twice, one for the card layer, assembled my card and added some silver cord leftover from Christmas a few years back.  The final touch was adding some star dust, and yellow, stickles to highlight parts of the images.  I'm pretty happy with how this turned out, especially, since I was feeling pretty bad while making it.
