Hello and welcome.  Today begins a new challenge over at Pammie's Inky Pinkies and this week we are being sponsored by CAS-ual Friday Stamps.  I would like to thank them for their sponsorship.  My card uses the following stamps and dies: Coffee Talk and Coffee Cup Die.

 

I started out by die cutting from scraps, my coffee cup and saying using my big shot along before stamping the saying in the middle of my cup and then stippling Adirondack espresso ink over them.  I then dry embossed two panels using a dusty cuttlebug mesh embossing folder before stippling matching ink over the raised image.  After adding the cup and saying, I made my own floral spray in the middle using Martha Stewart punches and Ranger Crystal Accents as adhesive.  After adding some ice stickles to the flower centers, my card was finished.  I'm really happy with how this turned out.  Still not feeling up to par from the COVID and migraines, but I think I'm slowly starting to feel better.

Warm Coffee Wishes

Hello and welcome.  Today I'd like to share a card made using some new (NBUS) The Cat's Pajamas stamps I picked up at their clear stamp retirement sale which ends on January 17th.  I started out by stamping my coffee images from Freshly Brewed Heaven, Big Fat Holiday Greetings, and the saying from Holly Jolly Christmas (retired) before coloring them using Castle Art pencils before stippling some Stampin Up bliss blue ink around the edges then layered onto scrap card stock.  My card was made using bliss blue card stock along with a designer paper scrap from my stash.  After adding some blue fibers I've had for years, I added my layered image along with some sequin snowflakes.  As an after thought, I went and highlighted parts of the image panel using Sakura 3D glaze pens before re-stamping my saying and adding that using dimensionals.

Happy Birthday Chickie!

 

Hello and welcome.  Today is new Saturday challenge over at Catch The Bug and this week's theme is Anything Goes. Since I'm always running low on birthday cards, I decided to use Make It Snappy Birthday Chickie which I've had for a while and haven't used yet.  

After printing my image onto Hammermill white card stock, I colored it using both prismacolor and copic markers before layering and adding blue enamel dots instead of brads.  For my card, I took a long scrap of turquoise card stock, folded it like a square card then dry embossed it using a Cuttlebug Birthday embossing folder and my big shot.  Once the I was finished dry embossing it, I stippled some Tim Holtz broken china distress ink around the edges and over the dry embossed surface before adding my layered image panel.  I then added some turquoise ribbon, primas, and some Picket Fence Studios Spiked Ocean Water sequins before highlighting parts of the image using my dusty Copic Spica pens.  The final embellishment was adding Ranger glossy accents to highlight the eyes.

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.

Fall Courage

Hello and welcome.  Today is another new release from Bugaboo Stamps and we have another really cute one for you and it's called Courage.  I decided to turn this little clown into a scarecrow.  When I saw him, I immediately thought of the scarecrow from the Wizard of Oz.

After printing off my image onto Hammermill white card stock, I colored it using prismacolor markers before stippling several Tim Holtz distress inks around it then layering.  I then took some embossed Debbie Mumm Harvest and Holiday's designer paper I've had for years and added those to an artichoke card.  I then dry embossed a strip of pumpkin pie card stock using my big shot and a cuttlebug pumpkin harvest embossing folder before stippling pumpkin ink over the embossed images.  My layered image panel was then popped up over the embossed border using dimensionals.  My final embellishments were a green clip I've had for years, some prima flowers, and dew drops.

Chocolate Fantasy

Hello and welcome.  Today is Freebie Friday over at Bugaboo's blog Catch The Bug.  As soon as I started on my card, my husband saw the image and said the card had to go to his sister.  

 

After printing my image onto Hammermill white card stock, I colored it using both prismacolor and copic markers before lightly stippling Tim Holtz milled lavender distress ink then layering.  For the card, I pulled out some scrap designer paper (sorry can't remember what company) and added that to a chocolate chip card stock before adding my layered image.  I then pulled out some Stampin Up ribbon I had forgotten about, tied it into a knot, then added a copper circle clip.  The only other embellishments added were copper brads, white silk flowers I've had for years and a copper pearl bling in the center of the flowers.

Kiss My Furry Orange......

.....@%#!  Hello and welcome. Today is new release Tuesday at Catch The Bug for Bugaboo Stamps and we have a snarky little kitty for you today called Crabby Cat.  I LOVE this image!!!!!  Snarky and to the point. Perfect for the way 2020 has gone.  

 

After printing the image off onto Hammermill white card stock, I colored it using both prismacolor and copic markers.  I did go and highlight parts of the image using prismacolor pencils with a blender pencil before layering and adding some small black brads.  I then pulled out some scrap orange/black card stock, ran it through my big shot with a Tim Holtz cracked embossing folder, before lightly stippling spiced marmalade on the embossed border and then lightly around the image panel before adding it to an orange card with scrap Basic Grey designer paper.  I then stippled the spiced marmalade ink around the edges of the card before adding some black ribbon I received as a RAK before color spritzing some basic grey marker over the card and image panel.  The final embellishments were a prima flower with bling center and Sakura 3D glaze pens to highlight the saying and some added details to the kitty itself.

Card Games And More Never Before Used Stuff (NBUS)

Hello and welcome.  I've been feeling a bit off lately, even thought I've still been creating.  It's just taking me longer to think, color, assemble, etc.  Today's card was originally started for a Splitcoaststampers Teapot Challenge but never finished until now.

Since I wanted my card to look like it had playing cards on it, so I pulled out a retired, but never before used set (NBUS) called Card Games, along with the matching Game Night designer paper.  After making the card, I pulled a scrap of the designer paper from my recycle bin to use a border by flipping to the back side.  I then stamped the king, queen, jack onto scrap card stock in memento black then colored using prismacolor and copic markers.  I layered each of the cards onto scrap red/black card stock and used my dusty corner rounder punch on each layer before popping up over the border using pop up glue dots.  The saying is from the retired Stampin Up set Game Night and is another lonely, never before used, stamp set.  After punching the saying from the leftover white/black card stock scraps, I added two tiny buttons below the saying; then added a small black bow.
