More Holiday Inspiration

 

 

Hello and welcome.  Today I'd like to share with you a couple of projects that I finally finished thanks to the flu. 

 

First up, is a set of ATC's made using the free challenge sheet for the December Conjurer of Dreams ATC challenge.  I did all of the image layering digitally before printing then adding my card stock layers using scraps.  Each ATC was then embellished using stickles, bling, photo corners from my stash and bows.

Next up is a snarky card made using the Christmas Mugshots and Wanted Poster Blanks from Conjurer of Dreams.  After combining the two sets digitally, I printed it out, added walnut stain distress ink along the edges before layering and adding brads.  I then printed out the Wood Bark Background, and adhered it to my card base before sponging walnut stain distress ink along the edges.  Once my layered image was adhered to the card base, I added some copper sequins and a epoxy candy cane sticker to finish it off.

A Frightfully Good Halloween

 

Hello and welcome.  Second post today so if you're looking for my puppies birthday card, please scroll down one.  Thank you.

 

I'd like to share with you a Halloween card, plus ATC, made using images from Conjurer of Dreams images. I liked how the card turned out so I made an ATC to go with it.  I originally started out by combining the following COD sets using Photoshop©: Victorian Graveyard, Victorian Dancing Ghosts, Edwardian Bride & Groom Ghosts, Funny Gravestones, You're Driving Me Batty clip art, Aged Papers and Halloween Photo Corners, plus my saying before printing onto Neenah white card stock.  Once I had everything printed out, I layered onto some navy/black card stock before distressing the edges, adding brads and setting aside.  I then stenciled a spiderweb background on my card base using Tim Holtz picket fence distress ink before adding my graveyard panel using some pop up glue dots.  The only embellishments added was some spider sequins for the corners, crinkle ribbon I found in my stash and tiny gemstones for stars.

For the accompanying ATC, I printed the same image (only smaller) then layered using the scraps from my card. Made a small bow using the scraps from my card, added the spider sequins and gems like before to finish it off.  I'm pretty happy with how these turned out.

I started out by combining the following image sets in Photoshop© (Fall Quotes, Bountiful Cart, Anne of Green Gables, Cute Dogs Clip Art, Fall Silk, Aged Paper and Photo Corners) before printing my combined image on Neenah white card stock.  I then pulled out a couple of scrap card stock and layered the image panel to those before adding some copper brads and bling to finish it off.  I'm really pleased with how it turned out especially with the way I've been feeling lately.  Ugh!

Welcome To The Funny Farm

 

Hello and welcome.  Second post today.  I made these ATC's over the last couple of weeks due to my migraines and fibromyalgia flare ups.  The images are from the Funny Farm set from Conjurer of Dreams.  I printed this set out a while ago, and it just sat in the "to be made pile" until a couple of weeks ago.  I really love the sayings Kim made for these and hope she brings the set back.  With the exception of the images printed on Neenah white card stock, everything else is used from my scrap bin.  Here are close-ups of each ATC:

 

Also used a retired Stampin Up mini set for the dotted background, pearls, clip I had forgotten about

 

Also used scrap of Graphic 45 paper, bling, brads, clip I had forgotten about
 

 

Also used retired Stampin Up mini for dotted background, brown pearls, brown Prima flower I had forgotten about

 

Also used yellow mini brads, red Prima mini flowers I forgot I had

Halloween Tea Party And Haunts

 

 

Hello and welcome.  Today I'd like to share a not so spooky Halloween ATC made using the Well Read Haunts ATC backgrounds along with a few other sets from Conjurer of Dreams.  

I started out by digitally layering the following Conjurer of Dreams sets:  Well Read Haunts, Alice in Wonderland Background/Clipart, Bokeh and Floral Teacups, Floral Borders and Corners clip art, Victorian Maid clip art and Cute Dogs before printing and adding to the Black Silk and Aged Paper backgrounds. I liked how it turned out so I kept it clean/simple and didn't add any additional embellishments.

Spring On The Farm

 

Hello and welcome.  Today I'd like to share with you a couple of projects made over the last couple of weeks but haven't uploaded them due to a migraine that won't quit.  The weather we've had recently has been a little crazy - winter temps suddenly turning into spring temps; then dropping 20 degrees overnight with thunderstorms; now back to spring. Sigh.  Mother Nature please make up your mind.  

First up, I have a fabulous country farm card made using images from Conjurer of Dreams plus a couple from my digital stash.  I started out by combining the following COD sets ( Anne of Green Gables, Old Purple Truck, Old Red Barn) in Photoshop before adding the horse, trees, birds from my stash.  Once I had printed out the finished image, I layered it and added some faux brads before adhering it to a rust colored card.  After adding some copper cord from my stash, my card was finished.

Next up, is an adorable spring ATC  made using Conjurer of Dreams Ladybug Love, Fairy Sprite and Quirky Faries digital sets.  These were also combined in Photoshop before printing onto Neenah white card stock, then layering onto scraps and adding faux brads.  Digging through my smaller scraps, I punched some greenery and flowers using my Martha Stewart punches and adhered those using Glossy Accents before adding some red stickles to the flower centers, small red bow and finally a wooden ladybug sticker I've had for years.

Just Some Winter ATC's

 

Hello and welcome.  Really quick post today as I'm in a lot of pain and not focusing good right now.   I have a couple of ATC's made using this month's free sheet from Gecko Galz.  After trimming down to size, and layering, I added some small, icy floral sprays as embellishments before adding star dust ice stickles as the only embellishments.  Close up's below:
