Reindeer Farting

 Second post from me today.  If looking for my Wiseman card, please scroll down one.

Now with the way 2020 has gone so far, I wouldn't be surprised.  Hello again and welcome.  I'm still dealing with this blasted migraine, but meds are helping to take the edge off enough for me to type.  It took me two days to make this card and it's not that difficult.  I just love this little guy from the Dustin Pike collection at Whimsy Stamps and had to have him as soon as I saw him.  The image is called, appropriately, Reindeer Farts (digital stamp).  My dad would have loved receiving this card.  I miss him so much.  So this has been made in memory of him.

I started out by printing the, new to me, image onto Neenah white card stock and colored using Castle Art pencils with a blender pencil.  Once that was finished, I lightly stippled Tim Holtz tumbled glass and broken china distress inks around the edges before layering and adding brads.  For the card, I adhered some Paper Pizazz snowflake designer paper I've had over a decade and never used, then added a dry embossed border using a cuttlebug snowflake embossing folder and my big shot.  After adding some glittered ribbon, I popped up the layered image after adding a snowflake charm.  After a few sequins and ice stickles, my card was finished.

Summer's Last Hurrah

Hello and welcome.  I'm still trying to focus on something other than my elevated pain levels, so today I'd like to share with you a card I made for a few challenges using the retired Summer Pin Up digi from Simply B Stamps.

After printing my image onto white card stock and coloring using both prismacolor and copic markers, I stippled some Tim Holtz tumbled glass distress ink and Adirondack caramel ink around the image before layering onto scrap card stock.  I then stamped the saying in memento black and added some silver brads.  For my card, I added some scrap wave designer paper before adding two die cut wave borders sponged with buckaroo blue ink.  I then adhered my layered image over the sponged waves.  The final embellishments were a Jolee's beach umbrella die cut sticker from my never before used stuff stash (NBUS) and a few waterfall dew drops.

Just Smile

This week's Crazy 4 Challenges challenge is to use the colors blue and white with another color of our choice.  Well, I went with green since it's SUPPOSED to be springtime and decided to stamp some flowers.  Of course, I cheated just a tad and had to add a little yellow for the flower centers.

I actually started this card over the weekend, however, thanks to my "infamous" migraines, it's taken 4 days to complete the card.  I started out by stamping my Winter Crocus images from Mark's Finest Papers, a Heinrich Company in memento tuxedo black ink on white storm premium paper before coloring with prismacolor markers and layering onto bang up blue linen paper.  Then taking one of my cuttlebug embossing folders, I ran a piece of scrap white card stock through the big shot and then lightly stippled Adirondack sailboat blue ink over the raised lettering.

My final touches were to add some gorgeous royal blue satin ribbon with a green hat pin and some beads added onto it.  I also added my signature faux brads before popping up a cut out crocus image twice just below the main layered image.

Thanks for stopping by today.  Have a great day and why don't you join this week's challenge?  They are a lot of fun and definitely get the mojo juices flowing.

Vintage Relaxing Teacup

Hello and welcome to Thursday.  Sorry I haven't been posting a lot this week, however, I have been dealing with the flu on top of my "normal it seems" migraines.  Today I am sharing a card I made for two different challenges, the sketch for Crazy 4 Challenges and a new one I found called Crafty Friends Challenges. 

I started out by stamping my images from Mark's Finest Papers, a Heinrich Company Love Remains and Relax A Bit in memento tuxedo black ink onto corn husk premium paper before coloring with prismacolor markers.  Once my coloring was done, I cut out my background sketch design and then die cut my focal image using a sizzix circle scallop lace die.

Then taking three different Tim Holtz distress inks (Forest Moss, Tattered Rose, and Tea Stain), I began stippling them over and around my images until I was satisfied with the color coverage.  Once my stippling was finished, I began to assemble my card.  For my final touches, I stippled some Adirondack caramel ink around the edge of the entire card and then added a small K&Company chipboard butterfly just below my teacup.

Thanks for stopping by today.  Have a great day.

Guess Hoo?

I'm on a roll today...second post. I made this for this week's Crazy for Challenges geometric challenge. I have not had a chance to ink up my MFT October kit yet (the shame!) so this was the perfect time for it.

I started out by stamping my little owlie on the creme panels included in the kit and coloring him with prismacolor markers then inking the sides with PTI tea stain inks. Something just seemed to be missing though because there was too much open space. So I dug through my MFT sets to find my Branch Out set and inked it up with memento dark cocoa and bamboo leaves inks to add the branches and extra leaves. Now everything looked much better. After adding some ribbon, cutting off at an angle for more of a country feel, my card is finished.
