A Couple Of Last Minute Projects

 

Hello and welcome.  Can you believe it's only a few more days until Christmas and the week after that is New Year's Day?  I will be glad to see 2024 go away.  It has not been a good year for me - health wise or personally.  However, I digress.  Today I'd like to share a couple of cards I've made over the last couple of weeks using Conjurer of Dreams images.

 

First up is a quick card made using an image from Stained Glass Gothic Christmas Windows (which was also the image for the last tag challenge in the Facebook group.  I just took the tag I had made and adhered it to a dry embossed card base.  After adding some more ribbon, and sequins, my card was finished.  It's not my best but I was dealing with a nasty migraine at the time.

Aloha Friday #17 - Christmas or Winter (Christmas) 

As You Like It - Anything Christmassy 

My second card uses one of the images from the Victorian Ladies Greyscale Coloring Book.  I started by printing my chosen image at 3.5 x 5 to make it easier on my eyes while coloring.  Then, taking both Lyra Skintone and Castle Arts Harmonious colored pencils, I colored the image before using a blender pencil and eraser to soften some of the edges/highlights.  Once the coloring was finished, I layered her and added purple brads before adhering her to a dry embossed lavender card base.  The final touches, were adding some highlights using Castle Arts Gel Pens along with some purple/lavender bling.

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 uses Lawn Fawn's Car Critters and Car Critters Christmas Add On clear stamp sets.

I started out by stamping all of my images, and sayings, onto Copic X-Press It card stock using memento tuxedo black ink before coloring all of them using both prismacolor and copic markers.  Once the coloring was finished, I fussy cut several of the images out and assembled my scene using micro glue dots.  I then blended Tim Holtz stormy sky distress ink around them to "darken" the sky a bit before layering, adding brads and then distressing the bottom edge using my paper distresser.  I then added it to a dry embossed green card using pop up glue dots.  The final touches were pine needles distress ink blended around the card edges, white/silver bakers twine along the top and crystal ice stickles as "falling snow" to finish it off.

Who's A Ho?

 

Hello and welcome.  Today I'd like to share with you a snarky Christmas card I made for a friend using images from Conjurer of Dreams Grumpy Mrs Claus images and a saying from the Ugly Christmas Sweater Gumpy Seniors set.  

I've been slowly trying to get my craft area organized (thank you migraine) and discovered a package of felt "Ho" stickers I bought from Hobby Lobby years ago during one of their after Christmas clearance sales.  As soon as I saw them, I knew what I wanted to use them with.  After combining the Grumpy Mrs. Claus image with one of the sayings from the Ugly Sweater Set, I printed it out before also printing the same image at 5x7, only without the saying.  Taking the smaller image, I trimmed it down, layered and added some red baby brads from my stash before setting it aside.  Taking the larger image, I adhered it to an A4 red card, trimming edges as needed before adding some red organdy ribbon from my stash.  I then added the layered image using pop up glue dots before adding three of the felt "Ho" stickers.  The final touch was adding crystal ice stickles to highlight the snow outside the window and the buttons on Mrs. Claus's dress.  I'm really happy with how this turned out especially since I'm on the third week of this blasted migraine.

Fall Inspired Window Train

 

Hello and welcome.  Today I'd like to share with you a fall inspired card using images from Conjurer of Dreams. I started out by printing the Steam Train in the Seasons and Fall Window Scene onto Neenah white card stock. I then took a Fiskars© finger "knife" and carefully fussy cut the window panes out before adhering it over my train image, then layered and added some maple leaf brads I've had in my stash for years and not used.  Setting that aside, I dug though my old Stampin Up stamps and found the Petite Patterns set and stamped the border using the leaf images and adhered that to a riding hood red card.  I then stamped some migrating ducks in memento tuxedo black ink in the top left window pane using my Stampscapes© Ducks In Formation stamp.  After adding my layered image using pop up glue dots, my card was finished.

After combining the image, and saying, I printed it off onto Neenah white card stock then colored using my Copic© markers before layering and adding black brads.  I then took my card and added raindrops using a raindrop stencil, Tim Holtz stormy sky and milled lavender distress inks and a blending brush.  After stippling ink around the edges of the card, I added my layered image, and small bow, using glue dots.  The final touch was adding waterfall stickles.

Woodblock Wednesday November 2024 Edition

 

Hello and welcome to another  Woodblock Wednesday edition where we dust off all of those wood block stamps and show them some love again.  I chose to use a stamp I recently won in a giveaway Amy Tsuruta recently had.  I love anything that looks like stained glass so this stamp is perfect for me.

I started out by stamping the image in memento tuxedo black onto Copic X-Press It card stock before coloring using Copic markers.  Once the coloring was finished, I lightly blended stormy sky distress ink around the edges using a blending brush before layering and adding brads.  Taking my layered image panel, I adhered it to a black card using glue dots before die cutting my saying using a Spellbinders Celebrate Everything hello/bubble die I received as a RAK.  After adding some Meraki Sparkle Midnight Shimmer bling, and painting crystal ice stickles on my tulips, my card was finished.  Here's another look:

Hello and welcome.  Today begins a new challenge over at Pammie's Inky Pinkies and this week we're being sponsored by StarStampz. For my card, I am using the Polar Bear digital image.

I started out by printing the image onto Neenah white card stock before pulling out my Castle Arts watercolor pencils, colored the image before blending with an alcohol marker.  After edging the image in memento tuxedo black ink, I layered it before adding white brads and distressing the edges then setting aside.  My card is dry embossed using a Sizzix© snowflake embossing folder with Stampin Up bliss blue ink rubbed lightly over the embossed images and sides.  Taking some snowflake felt fusion I've had for years, I added a border of individual snowflakes before adding my layered image using pop up glue dots.  The final embellishments were white/silver bakers twine, snowflake sequins, silver star stickers and ice stickles glitter glue.  As an afterthought, I added just a touch of white gel pen to the little girl's eyes.

A Little Stained Glass Winter

 

Hello and welcome.  Today I'd like to share a couple of cards made using Conjurer of Dreams Winter Stained Glass Windows images along with several others.  First, let me just say, I absolutely LOVE Kim's stained glass images!!  For both of these cards, I merged the stained glass with the following: Polar Bears AI Art Digitals, Frosty Quirky Elves, Christmas Gnomes and Christmas Ducks.

I started out by printing a non-merged Winter Stained Glass images twice to use as designer paper before printing the merged church/gnomes/ducks image at 3.5 x 5.  After layering, and adding brads, I adhered it to my card using glue dots before adding crystal stickles to highlight the snow/church windows/frozen creek.

Next is a card using a different stained glass church image.  This time I combined it with the Polar Bears AI Art and Frosty before printing it also at 3.5 x 5 then layered and added silver brads before adhering it to the card using glue dots.  After adding some silver cord, I again highlighted the snow/windows/frozen creek using crystal stickles.  I am really happy with how both of these turned out.
