I Am The Resurrection And The Life

Hello and welcome.  I'm playing along with the Virtual Stamp Night challenges over at Splitcoaststampers as my health is allowing.  The card I'd like to share with you is one I made for the challenges as well as other blog challenges. The image is from the Foliage Cross Mini Set from Gracielle Design I've for some time and never used (NBUS).

After I combined the image and sentiment by using a watermark program, I printed it off before coloring using Castle Arts pencils.  I then stippled some Tim Holtz stormy sky distress ink using my Picket Fence Blending Brushes before layering and adding brads.  I then took the layered image and added it to the card using glue dots.  The final touch was taking a Sakura 3D black glaze pen and going back over the saying so it stood out more.

A Lighthouse Anchor

Hello and welcome.  Today I'd like to share a card made using an image from Impression Obsession called Lighthouse Anchor (H1994DG).  Now I'm using the digital version of this image.  If you prefer the rubber stamp version, you can find it here.  I have to say that I LOVE the Gary Robertson line of stamps over at Impression Obsession.  I started out by printing the image onto Hammermill white card stock before coloring it using Castle Arts pencils then stippling Tim Holtz old paper and stormy sky distress inks around the edges of my colored image.  I then layered it, added brads, and distressed the bottom layer before popping it up on my card using dimensionals.

Dandelions, Catcus and Sunflowers

 Hello and welcome.  Today I'd like to share a few cards I've made in the last week using stamps that have never been used before (NBUS).  With all that's still going on in the world, and my health, I'm finding my coloring and crafting is giving me some peace of mind.  I'm still not happy with all that's going on in Ukraine.  Somebody needs to stop that madman before he bombs all of Europe.  Hopefully, something will come out of the NATO talks this week but I'm not going to hold my breath.  However, I digress.

My first card is made using all scraps and turned out to be a cute little note card using Lawn Fawn's set Dandy Day Flip Flop along with the matching dies.  Now where I live, the calendar says it's officially spring, however, someone forgot to tell Mother Nature.  We are jumping from the 60's to almost the 90's this week then dropping 20+ degrees next week.  I've got dandelions growing all over the place in my front yard and this card reminds me of them.  I started out by stamping everything twice on scrap Neenah white card stock before coloring using Castle Arts colored pencils before die cutting the second set of images.  Once everything was colored, and die cut, I layered the main image panel onto black scrap card stock then onto a small turquoise piece for the card.  I then popped up the die cut images (even those little itty bitty pieces) before adding a small scrap of bakers twine.  As an afterthought, I took a black artist pen and added some hand drawn birds (don't laugh), faux brads and faux stitching around the edges.

My second card uses a set from Newton's Nook that I've been dying to use called Cuppa Cactus and the matching dies.  I started out stamping my images twice onto some scrap Neenah white card stock to make into a one layer card before coloring using the Castle Arts pencils.  Once my coloring was finished, I die cut the images before popping them up using dimensionals and stippling some Tim Holtz distress inks around them using my Picket Fence blending brushes.  As an afterthought, I'm good for those, I took my one layer card and adhered it onto scrap green card stock before adding the faux stitching/faux brads using a black artist pen.  I kind of like how it turned out doing that.

My third card uses the Sunflower Power digital image from Power Poppy as part of their Sunflowers For Ukraine images.  I started out by combining the sunflower, and saying, in a watermark program before printing onto Hammermill white card stock.  I then colored the image using Castle Arts colored pencils before softly blending Tim Holtz stormy sky distress ink around the edges using Picket Fence blending brushes.  I then layered my colored image before adding some vintage brads then adding to a summer sun card.  I wanted to keep my sunflower card as simple as possible so the image and saying stood out on their own.

Hello and welcome.  Today begins a new challenge over at Pammie's Inky Pinkies.  This week our challenge is being sponsored by Sheepski Designs and I would like to thank them for their sponsorship and for providing the images used by the design team.  My card is a CASE (copy and share everything) of a card I did a while back using the image My Pad since I love how it turned out.

I started out by adding the saying using a watermark program, then printing onto Neenah white card stock and coloring using Koh-i-noor pencils before stippling Tim Holtz distress inks around the edges and layering.  I then added some brushed copper brads and added to a dry embossed card.  After adding some copper cord ribbon, I added some sequins and googlie eyes using Ranger glossy accents before adding some ice stickles to finish it off.

Frost-Tea And Succulent Sunshine

Hello and welcome.  Today I'd like to share a couple of cards I made to try and keep my mind off another migraine and still feeling like garbage from COVID.

The first card features a digital image from the now closed Craftin Desert Divas stamp shop called Frost-Tea that I've had for some time and just never used (NBUS).  I'm a tea drinker at heart although I do love a good cup of cocoa, with marshmallows, and coffee from time to time.  I started off by printing the image onto Neenah white card stock and coloring using Castle Art pencils before stippling Mowed Lawn distress ink using my Picket Fence Studio blending brushes.  Can I say just how much I LOVE their blending brushes!!  After I was done stippling, I layered the image before adding some green button brads I bought on an after Christmas clearance a few years back.  For the card, I dry embossed the card, and border, before stippling more mowed lawn ink then adhering my layered image using glue dots.  I then pulled out a Making Memories Noteworthy felt flower I've had for years (NBUS) and adhered it on the border with glue dots.  After adding my own "greenery" by punching scrap card stock using my Martha Stewart fern/pine spring punches, I realized the brad in the center of my felt flower was a different color, so I changed the color by using a green Copic marker.  As an afterthought, I highlighted parts of the image using Castle Arts gel pens. Inside the card is stamped: Glad Tidings for Christmas and a Happy New Year using a Hero Arts stamp I received as a RAK.

Lucky Me

Hello and welcome.  Today I'd like to share with you a St. Patty's Day card made for my in-laws.  I pulled out an old Stampin Up set called Lucky Me, that's long retired, I've had since 2000.  In fact, I tried to sell the set when my husband and I moved 6yrs ago, and it didn't sell.  Must have been meant to be for me to keep it.

I started out by stamping the saying and image onto scrap white card stock before coloring it using Castle Art pencils.  I then layered stippled some glorious green ink around the edges using my Picket Fence blending brushes before layering and adding some small white brads.  My card is made using Stampin Up card stock along with some shamrock designer paper I've had for years and never used.  I'm not even sure who made the designer paper since the pad was "disassembled" during the move.  After adding a small stamped border strip, I adhered the layered panel using glue dots before adding some shamrock ribbon from my stash.  As an afterthought, I lightly stippled some green galore ink around the saying and images before adding some green sequins using Ranger glossy accents to adhere them.

Birthday Wishes, Thanks And Sunflowers For Ukraine

Hello and welcome.  Today I'd like to share with you a couple of cards I've made over the last few days.  I colored them while my husband was watching the news and assembled them today while he was making cookies.  Yes, he's the cook in our house and a really good one too since he grew up in a restaurant.  I've continued to color and make cards even thought I'm dealing with migraines and COVID to help me deal with the anxiety of not getting better from COVID faster and the invasion of Ukraine.  I can't do much to help the Ukranians except to make cards to support them.

My first card uses a free digital image from Cha Lion's Instagram account.  After printing it off onto Neenah white card stock, I colored it using Castle Arts pencils before stippling Tim Holtz broken china and mowed lawn distress inks then layered.  Once I had added brads and adhered the layered image to my card, I added some Picket Fence Gin and Tonic sequins (retired) using Ranger Glossy Accents to adhere them.  I'm really happy with how the card turned out.

My second card uses an Angie Blom's digital image from the Seas The Day digital set I've had for a while and never used.  I started out by printing the image onto Hammermill white card stock then colored it using Castle Arts pencils.  I then lightly stippled some Tim Holtz tumbled glass distress ink using my Picket Fence Studios blending brush before layering and adding brads.  I then took a fingernail to the edges of the bottom layer before adhering to my card.  The only embellishments were crystal ice stickles.

My final card uses some stamps I bought at stamp convention in 2004 from A Stamp In The Hand (closed I think) and have rarely used.  Why, I don't know.  The set is fabulous to work with and so is the script stamp also from 2004.  I started out by inking the pomegranate stamp using Stampin Up markers before stamping onto glossy card stock four times.  I then did the same with the cherry stamp before over stamping the script (also A Stamp In The Hand) in memento tuxedo black ink.  I then lightly stippled aged mahogony and tea dye distress inks using my Picket Fence blending brushes.  After the ink had dried, I then color spritzed Stampin Up old olive and bravo burgundy markers before layering and adding brads.  I then used a Martha Stewart jumbo punch to punch the saying and flower before adhering them to my card. I then took a Sakura 3D black glaze pen and "embossed" the punched saying.  After adding a pearl bling, the card was finished.

Another Top 3

 Just found out my Christmas coffee card was chosen as one of the top 3 over at Jingle Belles Rock.

A Bouqet Of Sunshine For Ukraine

 Hello and welcome.  I'm trying to color as much as possible to keep my mind occupied while recovering from COVID and dealing with my migraine issues.  Coloring helps keep me calm, and help the anxiety I'm feeling over the invasion of Ukraine.  How many more innocent people have to die before world leaders get off their butts and help the Ukrainians??

 

My card today is using the Bring Home Some Sunflowers digital image from Power Poppy.  In fact, ALL of their sunflower images are free to download right now.  Let's fill the internet with sunflowers to show our support to the people of Ukraine!!  Power Poppy also has a couple of sunflower downloads that are fundraisers for Sunflower Of Peace.  Here the info from their website: All profit from the sale of this downloadable, print-at-home, outline illustration will be donated to Sunflower of Peace, a non-profit organization committed to helping Ukrainians affected by the Russian military invasion with medical and humanitarian aid. It is a USA-based 501(c)(3), working with a global network of established organizations and institutions that are committed to helping the people of Ukraine. You can purchase the fundraiser images here along with access to the free downloads.

After combing the image with one of the set's sayings using a watermark program, I colored it using Castle Arts pencils before lightly stippling some Tim Holtz broken china distress ink around it.  Once that was finished, I layered the image and added brads before adhering it to the card.  The "sunshine" in the saying is colored using a Castle Art gel pen.

Rockin' 'Round The Christmas Tree

 Hello and welcome.  I'm playing along with the Splitcoaststampers Fan Club Christmas Challenge.  This month we're being inspired by the Christmas movie How The Grinch Stole Christmas.  I took my inspiration from all of the Christmas trees the Grinch stole and brought back to Whoville and figured my new Rockin' Christmas Tree set from Whimsy Stamps would be perfect.  Now the Fan Club challenges are for members only and you can check out all of the Fan Club benefits here.  

I started out by stamping my images in memento tuxedo black ink onto some scrap Neenah white card stock before coloring using Castle Arts pencils.  I then stamped and colored the presents before fussy cutting them out and adding using dimensionals.  I then stippled some shaded spruce ink around the edges using my blending brushes from Picket Fence Studio.  I then layered it before adding green brads and adhered the layered images using glue dots.  The final embellishments were green twine I received as a RAK, Sakura 3D Glaze Pens and ice stickles.

A Couple Of Clean And Simple Birthdays

Since getting COVID added wtih my chronic migraines, I have been feeling like garbage.  So, I decided to make a couple of clean and simple birthday cards using an old Inkadindadoo clear stamp set I've had for years and never used.  That way I could, at least, try focusing on something other than my health.

First card up is a one layer card.  I started out by stamping the lizard image/saying in memento tuxedo black ink onto a small scrap of white card stock before coloring with Castle Arts pencils.  I then stamped the inside saying after carefully cutting it in half so it would fit.  I then stamped the lizard again coloring with colored pencils.

Warm Wishes To Ukraine

 Hello and welcome.  Like many, I have been transfixed and horrified by the invasion of Ukraine and deliberate attacks on civilians.  I have also admired the resolute way the Ukrainians are standing up and fighting for their country and freedoms.  One thing for sure, I will NEVER take for granted the freedoms I have living in the United States.  I also wish the leaders for the rest of the world would get off their butts and help defend Ukraine even if it means sending my nephew into a war zone.  I have donated what I can afford so about the only way I can support the Ukrainians now is through card making and the #cardsforukraine galleries.  With that in mind, today's card features the free Warm Hugs Sunflower from Power Poppy.  In fact, all of Power Poppy's sunflowers (the national flower of Ukraine) are free to download.  You can find all of them here.

After I printed off my image onto Hammermill white card stock, I then colored it using both prismacolor and copic markers before stippling Tim Holtz Broken China distress ink around it.  Once that was finished, I layered the colored image before adding blue brads and adhering to a pacific pointe card.  I'm really happy with how it  turned out since I'm still dealing with COVID and migraines.

Hello and welcome.  Today begins a new challenge over at Pammie's Inky Pinkies.  This week we are being sponsored by Jan's Digital Stamps and I would like to thank them for the images used by the design team this week.  For my card, I am using the Early Spring Nest set.
