A Couple Of Bookmark Eras

Hello and welcome.  For one of my final projects to share for 2024, I'd like to show you a couple of bookmarks I made my daughter for Christmas.  She is an avid reader and a HUGE Swiftie so when I saw this Taylor Swift look alike Country Girl stamp set from Scrabby Boy, I bought the stamp set in a hurry.

I started out by stamping the images in memento tuxedo black ink onto scrap Neenah white card stock.  I then stamped the song lyrics around "Taylor" before coloring them using both Lyra Giant Skintone and Castle Arts colored pencils.  Once my coloring was finished, I lightly stippled leftover stormy sky distress ink that was on my blender brush.  After layering the image panels, I added matching bling and stickles to her outfits as much as possible to the ERAS Tour ones.  I then placed them into some sleeves I had (bought 10+ years ago in bulk) before adding matching ribbon.  I'm really happy with how they turned out and so is my daughter.  She's asked me to make a couple more for one of her Swiftie friends.

Fear Not

 

Hello and welcome.  I'd like to share with you a simple card I made using an image from Conjurer of Dreams and a wood block stamp from Stampabilities I received in a destash.

 

I started off by printing one of the Serenity images as a 4x6 image before adhering it to a Neenah white card base.  I then stamped the phrase from Isaiah 41:10 directly onto the lake image before adding some sequins from Picket Fence Studios.  Very clean, simple and easy.  It's not my best work but was easy to do with this blasted migraine.  I'm sending this to a member of our church who just lost her father.

I'm Not Crazy....

......although I feel like it sometimes. *shrug*  Hello and welcome.  Today I'd like to share with you an altered frame made using Gecko Galz Ask Alice collage.  As soon as I saw the crazy Cheshire cat image, I knew I needed to make an altered frame with it.  Plus, the added help of being pre-colored helps a lot when trying to create with these blasted migraines.

I started out by printing the collage on Neenah white card stock before trimming the Cheshire cat down to fit into a 3.5 x 5 frame.  Taking a bunch of orchid scraps, I punched the hydrangea pieces, both large and small, before adhering them to the frame using Ranger's glossy accents.  The final touches were two small butterflies and adding diamond ice stickles to all of the flower/butterfly centers and highlighting the cat's eyes using a clear 3D glaze pen.

Smile

Hello and welcome.  Today I'd like to share a card I made just because.  I've had a bad time dealing with my migraines, and life, lately so I wanted to do something that was just for fun.  Know what I mean?  So I pulled out one of my favorite stamp sets.  It's from Gerda Steiner Designs called Upside Down Flamingo which is unfortunately sold out at this time. 

I started out by stamping the flamingo twice on scrap Copic card stock before adding the wood mounted palm trees next to it.  After pulling out my Prismacolor and Copic markers, I then fussy cut parts of the flamingo to pop up later.  I then lightly stippled Tim Holtz tumbled glass and stormy sky distress inks as my "ocean water" and sky/fog background.  After popping up the flamingo neck and body, I dug out my bottle of Meraki Sparkle Green Illusion gems and added a few of those.  The final touch was adding some "faux brads" in the corner by punching a small piece of scrap pink card stock and a small line of diamond ice stickles to highlight the water.

  Sponsored by Lawn Fawn

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 sponsoring our challenge this week.  My card this week uses a few of Lawn Fawn's smaller sets to create my scene. 

 

I started out by stamping images from the Winter Alpaca, Winter Bunny and Oh What Fun sets on Hammermill White scraps before coloring using Copic markers.  I then die cut the trees from spruce colored scraps using a retired Sizzix pine tree die and my Big Shot.  Taking a white Hammermill card base, I blended Tim Holtz tumbled glass, chipped sapphire and picket fence distress inks using my blending brushes.  I then free hand cut a couple of "snow mounds" from a scrap strip of Neenah white card stock before pouncing picket fence distress ink to add some "texture".  I assembled the card by using Bearly Art glue and some glue dots.  As an afterthought, I pulled out my jar of Snow-Tex paint, and added the "snow" to my trees and the ground.  I then pulled out a white gel pen to make stars or falling snow in the night sky before adding stardust and diamond ice stickles over the white dots as well as my "snow".  Finally, I stamped the saying from the Oh What Fun on more white scrap card stock, layered it and added using glue dots.  

Here's a close-up showing all of the dimension:

Just A Fluffy Penguin

Hello and welcome.  I've been a bit scarce thanks to my migraines and being sick.  So I decided it would be good to make something humorous or snarky.  I settled on this cute Just Fluffy digital stamp from Sweet N Sassy Stamps.  Isn't it the cutest?

I started by printing the image onto Neenah white card stock before coloring using Castle Arts Watercolor Pencils and a blender pencil.  Once the coloring was finished, I lightly stippled some Tim Holtz tumbled glass and stormy sky distress inks using my paper pouncers before layering and adding some black brads.  My card is dry embossed using a Cuttlebug snowflake embossing folder with some basic grey ink lightly stippled over the raised images.  After adding my layered image, I dug up some never used Bo Bunny ribbon I had in my stash (who knows how long) and added crystal ice stickles to the snowflake centers.

Celebrate The New Year

Hello and welcome.  Today I'd like to share with you a card I made using the New Year Countdown digital set from Jan's Digital Stamps.  Now, if you're not a newsletter subscriber of theirs, then you may not know that Jan will be closing the shop at the end of April 2024.  She is, however, keeping the Etsy shop open for now. 

 

Since I've been dealing with an end of year migraine that's carried over to 2024, I decided to go with one of the pre-colored images in the digital set so it would be less "wear and tear" on my eyes.  

After I printed the colored image out on Neenah white card stock, I layered it and added pewter brads (I dug out of my stash)before running a fingernail along the edges of the black layer before setting aside.  I then stamped in memento tuxedo black the word CELEBRATE from a long retired Stampin Up set called Wonderful Words repeatedly to create my background.  After adding it to a black card, I added my layered image using glue dots before adding some dew drops along the bottom.  The final touch was adding crystal ice stickles to some of the confetti to add a little sparkle.  I'm pretty happy with how it turned out,

Peace and Joy

 Hello and welcome.  I don't know about you, but right now California is dealing with a lot, and I mean A LOT, of rain lately.  First the record snow pack and now lots and lots of rain.  Our rivers, and reservoirs, are overflowing because the rain is falling on the snow pack and melting it fast!  We use that snow pack for drinking water and irrigation during the hot summer months. At least, we're no longer in an extreme drought but no drought where I live.  (Thank you Lord for the rain)  My migraines are having a fit, however, I will deal with them.  Here in central California, small towns are getting flooded out and some people are losing everything.  My own cul-de-sac flooded out from the downpour we got (see pic taken from my porch).  Fortunately, a neighbor had put sandbags in front of our mobile home to keep water from flooding underneath it before the last storm rolled in.

Now we're waiting on atmospheric river number three arriving late Sunday night.  So, I figured I'd finally get this adorable Away In A Manger digital image from Sweet N Sassy Stamps colored while I could.  

After printing the image onto Neenah white card stock, I colored it using both Lyra and Castle Arts pencils before stippling some Tim Holtz walnut stain and chipped sapphire using my blending brushes from Picket Fence Studio.  Once that was done, I stamped the Peace/Joy saying from Sweet N Sassy's Old Fashioned Christmas set in memento tuxedo black ink underneath my colored image.  The final touch was stippling some old paper distress ink over/around the image before highlighting the Christmas star's rays using a clear glitter gel pen.  I'm really happy with how this turned out.

Hello and welcome.  Today I'd like to share with you a quick, clean and simple, one layer card I made.  After a frustrating day with doctor's trying to figure out what's going on with me, I needed a quick and easy card to try and take my mind off of my health issues.

I started out by stamping the image, and saying, from the Newton's Nook Designs set called Newton's Mug, I bought last year and hadn't used yet.  After stamping the image/saying in memento tuxedo black ink, I colored it using my Castle Arts pencils before blending a couple of retired Stampin Up inks, summer sun and yo-yo yellow.  The only embellishment added are some white sequins I found in my stash.

Woodblock Wednesday Watercolored Flower Celebration

 

Hello and welcome to another edition of Woodblock Wednesday.  I missed last month's Woodblock Wednesday with a migraine and flu bug at the same time.  In fact, I'm still dealing with it and it may have turned into something else.  Since I wanted to try and do my best to participate in this month's so I pulled out some old, retired, Hero Arts stamps I received from a friend and got to work.  I decided to "ink" the floral one by coloring directly onto the stamp image using my dusty Stampin Up watercolor crayons then misting it with water, then stamping it onto a Neenah white scrap repeating the steps three times.  I then inked a "grid" square shadow stamp using Tim Holtz tattered rose distress ink and over-stamping the grid on top of my flowers before pulling out a retired Stampin Up Wonderful Words wood set.  I then took a Picket Fence blending brush using it to stipple more tattered rose distress ink around the edges of my image panel.  After layering it, and adhering it to black card, I added some pink sequins to the flower centers that I found in my stash that I've had for ages and never used.

Cats, Birds, Gnomes and Paperwork

Hello and welcome.  Today I'd like to share a couple of cute, funny cards because with everything going on in the world, there's someone that could use a good chuckle.  Lately, I'm getting pretty good at coloring while my husband's watching the news every night.  That way, I'm in the same room with him for a while and if there's something I really have to pay attention to, with his memory issues, he can wind it back and replay it for me.  Besides, between long haul COVID and chronic migraines, what else can I do?

First up is another card using a retired Gary Robertson digital image from Impression Obsession.  This one is called Trick or Treat Birdhouse.  I just love this little mischievous kitty hiding in the birdhouse while the bird's "taking care of business".  LOL  After printing it out onto Hammermill white card stock, I colored it using Castle Arts pencils and some Lyra flesh tone pencils before stippling some Tim Holtz stormy sky distress ink using my Picket Fence Studios Life Changing Blender Brushes before layering and adding brads.  Before adhering the layered image panel to my card, I pulled out my Tim Holtz paper distresser tool and distressed the chocolate edges before popping the panel up on my card using dimensionals.  I then too some recycled/scrap pumpkin orange bakers twine that was tying up a prize package and added that to the card.  Taking some scrap card stock, and using a Marvy oak leaf punch, I punched my leaves out before stippling matching ink over them before distressing them using a stylus and mouse pad before adhering using glue dots.  The final touch was highlighting the cat/bird eyes using a clear Sakura 3D glaze pen.

Up next is a cute little gnome digital image from Whimsy Stamps called  Gnome Outhouse I recently acquired and hadn't used yet (NBUS).  After combining the image/saying in a watermark program, I printed it out onto Neenah white card stock before coloring using Castle Arts pencils.  I then stippled some Tim Holtz tumbled glass distress ink, and SU garden green ink, using my Picket Fence Studio blending brushes before layering on scrap card stock and adding some brads.  Once I added the layered image to my card, I added some red flowers punched from scrap card stock using a MS hydrangea punch, Ranger glossy accents, with gunmetal ice stickle centers.  The final touch was adding some small googlie eyes to the gnome to give him some "more life".

What Cancer Cannot Do And A Walk Along The Beach

 Hello and welcome.  Today I have a couple of cards to share that I've made over the week but first, an update on me. I was told Wednesday by my pulmonary doc that I'm officially considered "long haul" COVID. I'm still very short of breath, coughing like crazy (pulled something in my chest Tuesday night), running a low grade fever off & on and coughing up some really gross, thick milky yellow garbage. Yuck! Doctors don't want me to go on any more antibiotics at this point since I've been in them too much & I'm starting to not respond to them anymore. I'm still taking a bunch of pills ( and vitamins recommended to me by my doctors to help combat the COVID) as well as Dupixent shots every two weeks to help the asthma. Thank you Lord for patient assistance programs! Those Dupixent shots are around $5000 each!! I'm also restarting the nebulizer meds 4x's a day plus adding an inhaled steroid twice daily in the nebulizer. Also have regular inhalers plus a steroid inhaler to help combat the trouble breathing. Downside-I'm gaining more weight again plus getting puffy like my late mother in law would complain about. The last couple days I've been losing my voice from coughing so much. Hubby and I have noticed lately my memory seems to be affected. When I asked the doc about it she said unfortunately in some long haul patients they're seeing this. She suggested I do everything I can to keep my brain engaged- reading, talking, etc. I told her I do read quite often & color/card make. She said all that is great. She also went over my last breathing test and said my lung function has decreased & wants to schedule me for a more in depth lung function test so we have a better idea how bad it is. My sense of smell is coming back slowly still so that's good.  My energy level still stinks though.  This COVID stuff has aggravated my migraines & put me in a fibromyalgia flare. The worst part of the visit, our pulmonary doc (hubby sees the same one) is relocating to the Bay Area the end of August, so we have to find a new one. There's only one other pulmonologist locally and there's no way he can handle the whole county. My husband's diabetic doc has recommended one at the Fresno UCSF clinic. The doctor is the head of pulmonology at Fresno's Community Regional Medical Center & she says is top notch. So we're going to see if our primary can refer us there.  Now on to my cards.

First up is a card made using using a NBUS Peonies stencil from Picket Fence Studios along with their blending brushes.  I started out by blending Stampin Up regal rose, pretty in pink, certainly celery and garden green inks on a Hammermill white panel before layering it.  I then stamped the What Cancer Cannot Do from The Cottage Stamper (now closed) that I've had for some time and never used in memento tuxedo black ink on vellum card stock.  After trimming, I added it to the layered panel using brads before adding the who thing to a regal rose card.

digital image Breezy Beach Walk.   After printing the image onto Neenah white card stock, I colored it using Castle Arts pencils before stippling Tim Holtz mowed lawn, broken china, tumbled glass and brushed corduroy distress inks then layered it before adding to my card panel.  Since I didn't have any matching brads, I made my own by using a really small hole punch and a Marta Stewart 2-way glue pen.  The final touch was waterfall ice stickles to highlight the ocean.
