Feeling All Festive

 

Hello and welcome.  Second post today.  I'd like to share with you a Christmas card made using the Conjurer of Dreams Ugly Sweater Grumpy Seniors digital set.  The image, and matching saying, just reminds me so much of my dad because this was just how he was.  He would put those ugly sweaters on and have fun.  I hear his voice every time I look at the saying since it was the way he'd talk. Oh do I miss him!

After combining the image, and saying, in Photoshop©, I printed it on to Neenah white card stock before layering and adding brads.  I then adhered the layered panel to my card using glue dots before adding crystal stickles as the only embellishment.  I'm pretty happy with how it turned out although I'm not sure I'm going to leave it as a card or turn it into a journal page.

Wood Block Wednesday August 2024 Edition

 

 

Hello and welcome to another woodblock wednesday where we're dusting off our old wood block stamps (we all have them) and using them again. For my card, I decided to dust off some of my old Stampscapes element stamps (I had bought long ago at a stamp convention) and combine them with a Conjurer of Dreams image from their Serenity digital set to create another sympathy card.

 

I started out by combining my chosen Serenity image, and Psalm, in Photoshop© before printing it out on Neenah white card stock.  I then took my Stampscapes images and stamped them in various places on the printed image, using Memento tuxedo black ink, before highlighting them using a white gel pen.  Once I was done with all of that, I layered my image and added some black brads before setting aside.  I then printed out another Serentiy image, layered it onto a white card then added my layered image panel using glue dots.  It was fairly quick and easy to make.

Eastern Beauty

 

Hello and welcome.  I have another card to share using products from Gecko Galz.   

I started out by combining the image from Asian Beauties #2 (possibly retired) with the gold bamboo designer paper from Asian Botanicals before printing it out on Neenah white card stock then layering and setting aside.  I then printed a "blank" bamboo layer and adhered that directly to the card base and added some gold ribbon from my stash.  After adding the layered image, I added some gold epoxy stickers in the corners before adhering a brushed gold coin using Glossy Accents.  Taking some scrap red/gold pieces, I punched out some flowers using my Martha Stewart Hydrangea punch before shaping and adhering using the glossy accents.  The final touch was adding gold and holly ice stickles to the flower centers.  I'm pretty happy with how this turned out.

A Cat Dragon And A Steampunk Mermaid

Hello and welcome.  The last few days have been really bad with this migraine, and associated auras.  More than once I hit the need to cry.  I've lost more sleep, and been the sickest,or in pain, in a long time, over the last several days.  Fortunately, I've had pre-colored images already printed out that I could finish assembling.  It's been a project just trying to photograph, and blog, the few projects I've gotten done.  

First up, it's no secret I LOVE cats/kittens so this freebie image from Gecko Galz for their monthly fantasy challenge is right up my "alley".  I had printed the image at 3.5x5 inches before trimming it down, layering and adding gold brads.  The card is made using Neenah white card stock and Gecko Galz's Island Girl digital paper set.  It might be retired, or sold out, since I don't see it in the store right now.  Once I had the paper adhered to my card base, I added an eggplant envy scrap as a border before adding my layered image using pop dots.  After adding some black/gold ribbon from my stash, and Crafty Meraki Midnight Shimmer Illusion bling and my card was finished.

Next up is a steampunk mermaid using this month's freebie from Gecko Galz for their monthly Steampunk challenge. She's printed on Neenah white card stock and layered using scraps of Recollections card stock with one layer distressed using a Tim Holtz paper distresser.  Setting aside my layered image panel, I trimmed down another color of the Gecko Galz Island Girl digital paper and added that to a white card base.  I then took some of the scraps and made a middle border layering it onto scrap Recollections card stock.  Pulling out a small hole punch, I created my own faux brads before popping up the layered image using pop dots.  The final touches were some fibers from my stash and teal sequins from Picket Fence Studios.

Mermaid Lagoon

Hello and welcome.  Today, I'd like to share another framed piece I've been working on for a few weeks thanks again to my migraines.  I've only been able to concentrate for short periods of time especially this last week.  Between wildfires, heat and humidity I've not been doing good physically and mentally.  The mermaid image was a  Gecko Galz freebie last month for their fantasy challenge.  Besides, swimming in a lagoon is a lot cooler than sweating in the heat. ;)

I started out by printing the image as a 5x7 photo on Neenah white card stock then set it aside.  Taking some of my dusty Sizzix© and Cuttlebug© dies, I die cut several leafy branches, seashells, starfish and sand dollars before stippling all of those with Tim Holtz mowed lawn, dusty concord, tattered rose, broken china, tea dye and chipped sapphire distress inks and my blending brushes.  Taking the 3.5x5 mat out of the frame, I then blended Altenew lagoon dye ink to get a soft "teal" palette before re-adding it back into the frame.  I then added my printed image taping it to the die cut mat to make sure it stayed in place before re-adding the glass "window" behind my mermaid so she'd be a bit more secure.  Taking all of my die cut little pieces, I adhered all of those to the frame and mat using Ranger's© glossy accents.  It was at this point I decided she needed some coral so taking my dusty EK Sucess "oak tree" whale of a punch and more scraps, I punched out several colors of "oak trees" making sure to snip off the lower tree trunks so it would like more like coral.  The final touches were adding some small pearls all around the frame and googlie eyes to the sea horses, ice stickles to the mermaid's hair/tail and a few red crabs made using an old Fiskars© crab punch.  It took a while to make this but I'm very happy how it turned out.

 

Here's a close up showing all of the dimension before adding the last two googlie eyes:

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 this week.  I decided to increase my children's birthday card stash so this week my card features Lawn Fawn's Winter Narwal set I received from a friend and hadn't used yet. 

 

I started out by stamping the main image on scrap white card stock before cutting up the Happy Birthday included with the set.  Once I had done that, I wanted to create my own saying, so I stamped the Have A Narly saying first before stamping the Birthday underneath it before coloring using my copic markers.  After I had the image panel colored, and layered, I adhered that to a retired Gecko Galz ATC Anchor's Away background sheet then layered that.  Since I was making this for a child's birthday, I didn't add any embellishments so the card could be used for any child's age.  Now as an afterthought, I lightly stippled leftover tumbled glass distress ink from a previous project.  I'm fairly happy with it especially since my migraines have been really active again.

Hello and welcome.  I've been dealing with a bad migraine the last several days (thank you Mother Nature-NOT), so I'm sharing an ATC (altered trading card) made using an old blog freebie from Gecko Galz paired with a retired Anchors Away ATC background also from Gecko Galz.  I'm finding the pre-colored images from Gecko Galz really help me create during the bad migraine days. 

Once everything was printed, and trimmed to size, I layered my mermaid onto scrap card stock before adhering to the background I had trimmed.  Instead of using brads, I punched two crabs and 2 fish from card stock scraps before adhering them to the ATC corners instead of using brads.  After gluing some sequins, and adding eyes to my "brads", I color spritz some basic grey marker to finish it off.  It's not my best work but.....oh well.

Boo To You

 

 

Hello and welcome.  Today I'd like to share with you a Halloween card I made using some "new" and "unloved stash".  I was inspired to dig into the "pile" after seeing a friend Marie's blog post of a "crafty squirrel" challenge.  Basically, time to find stuff that is over 2 years old/older and/or never seen some love.  No problem I thought.  Since I'm already done with this Spring heat wave, I went digging for a long retired Stampin Up set called Booglie Eyes dreaming of cooler temps.  I bought the set over 10-15 years ago (copyright label says 2006) and never even mounted any of the images to the matching wooden block.  Proof below: 

Once I had cut and mounted the images, I dug out another retired SU set, Web Wishes and stamped the spider web on some scrap white card stock.  Then taking several of the newly mounted images, I stamped them in memento tuxedo black ink on the card stock making sure to stamp the spider one in the corner web.  After coloring everything using markers, I stippled Tim Holtz walnut stain, weathered wood, stormy sky, tumbled glass and mowed lawn distress inks using my paper pouncers to give a foggy night appearance.  Digging through my stash of designer paper, I discovered some purple with black glitter bat paper from Debbie Mumm and pulled that out to add to a purple card base.  After I added a purplish-brown border, I added the layered image panel using glue dots.  The final touch was adding a black glitter gel pen to highlight the web and googlie eyes to all of the characters plus my saying.

A Couple More ATC's

 

Hello and welcome.  Today I'd like to share with you a couple more ATC's (artist trading cards) I made over the last week and a half.  I know I've made a lot of ATC's lately, but it's the only thing right now my health, migraines and life in general, are allowing me to do.  I'm trying to push through the migraines because NOTHING is helping them and crying/going crazy just makes them hurt worse.

First up is this cute little snowman (retired I think) from Colorado Craft Company that I received from a friend as a RAK.  After I stamped him in memento tuxedo black ink onto a Neenah white card stock scrap, I then colored him using my Copic markers.  Once the coloring was finished, I then lightly stippled some tumbled glass and stormy sky distress inks using my blending brushes.  I then layered the image panel onto scrap navy card stock before distressing the edges using my Tim Holtz paper distresser tool and added some tiny light blue brads.  After adding some pop dots to hold the brads in place, I layered it two more times before adding some plum pudding snowflake sequins and ice stickles to finish it off.   Here's a close up of the finished ATC:

I started out by stamping the images in memento tuxedo black ink onto scrap Neenah white card stock before coloring using copic markers.  After coloring, I lightly stippled some Tim Holtz tumbled glass, mowed lawn and old paper distress inks using my blending brushes then layered my image panel onto scrap designer paper and scrap light green card stock.  Taking my old Martha Stewart punches, I punched out several "fern branches", flowers, butterflies and pine sprigs before crimping the fern ones.  I then built a floral spray using all of my punched pieces and Ranger's glossy accents.  I finished my ATC off with some "faux brads" and silver pearls for the flower and butterfly centers.

His Eye Is On The Sparrow .......

 

...or in this case a Finch. :)   

Hello and welcome.  Today I'd like to share a card I made using a digital image from Sweet N Sassy Stamps entitled Gold Finch.  Now I've had this image printed for some time and just haven't used it until now thanks to health, migraine and life in general.

After printing my finch on Neenah white card stock, I colored it using both prismacolor and copic markers before layering and adding some tiny black brads.  Once that was done, I pulled out my Timeless Hymns set and stamped the song words using my MISTI before layering and adding brads as well.  I then pulled out my paper pouncers and stippled Tim Holtz wild honey, scattered straw, frayed burlap and tea dye distress inks until I was satisfied with the coverage.  Taking both layered panels, I added them to a black card base using glue dots then added a small yellow bow from my stash.  As an afterthought, I then decided to distress the layered edges so I ran a fingernail along the edges until I was satisfied.  The final embellishments are a black 3D glaze pen highlighting parts of the finch, and frame, and a couple of yellow/gold sequins to finish it off.  I'm fairly happy with how this turned out considering I made it while dealing with this migraine that will not go away.  :(

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:

Here's Comes Santa Paws ATC Style

 

Hello and welcome.  I have another project for you using the free pre-colored digital stamp from Gecko Galz for their monthly Christmas Challenge only this time, I've made some ATC's (artist trading cards) to use up some of the scraps that were still on my desk.  Now, I don't normally make ATC's but decided to give another shot at them.  

I started off by printing off the images wallet size on a full sheet of Neenah white card stock before cutting down to size then layering on scrap white/navy card stock from my scrap bin.  The only embellishments added are small silver brads and then diamond/waterfall ice stickles to highlight parts of the snow.  Easy peasy am I right?  I'm happy with how my ATC's turned out.

My card today takes us on a vacation from the cold to tropical beaches, plenty of sunshine, cool island breezes and uses the Lawn Fawn Flamingo Together, and a saying I received from Lawn Fawn in an order, stamped in various memento inks before creating my "beach/ocean" using memento desert sand and blue danube inks direct-to-paper until I was happy with the coverage before layering the image panel then adding some black mini brads.  After adhering the panel to a pink card, I hand drew birds using a black gel pen.  The final touches were some sequins and fruit punch ice stickles.
