Stain Glass Pelican

Hello and welcome.  I'd like to share with you a card made using the new to me Pelican Stained Glass 1473-DG digital image from Impression Obsession.  Now if digital images are not your thing, you can find the rubber stamp here.

After printing the image onto Hammermill white card stock, I colored it using both prismacolor and copic markers before layering and adding brushed copper brads.  For the card, I dusted off some stained glass True Faith designer paper and added that to a really rust card before sponging really rust ink around the edges.  I then added a black border before adding a strip of the matching card stock then popped up the layered image over that using dimensionals.  The only other embellishments added was black organdy ribbon and some dusty cowboy dew drops.  I still wasn't happy with the card so I took out a Sakura black 3D glaze pen and went over the stained glass "lead" lines to add dimension.  Good thing I was happy with the card then because my head was hurting.

Big Sister Princess

Hello and welcome.  Today we have another new release for Bugaboo Stamps called Bobblehead Big Eye Princess.  Since my card today is going to a friends grand-daughter that just became a big sister.  Her little brother was born premature, but is feisty enough to be discharged from the hospital the same time as his mom. 

After printing my image onto Hammermill white card stock, I colored it using both prismacolor and copic markers before lightly stippling Tim Holtz tumbled glass distress ink around the edges then layered.  The layered image panel was then added to a regal rose card with glittered tiara designer paper.   Please forgive me, but I don't remember who makes the designer paper as it was in my scrap pile.  I then sponged rose ink around the edges of the card before adding a pink ribbon, K&Company pillowed sticker (I've had for eons and never used), and highlighted the parts of colored image with diamond ice stickles.

Celebrating You With Ice Cream

Hello and welcome.  Today is the new release day for Bugaboo Stamps and we're celebrating it over at Catch The Bug.  The image I'm sharing is called Knobby Knees Ice Cream Scoop and can be found here.

After printing my image onto white card stock, I pulled out some unloved Die Cuts With A View Sweet Stack designer paper and added that to a lavender card.  I then took my image, I colored it using both prismacolor and copic markers before sponging some lavender lace dye ink around the edges and adding some purple brads.  Since I let the designer paper control my color choices, I decided to give the image, and card, the feel of an ice cream shop in the 50's or 60's.  For the saying, I pulled out a long retired Stampin Up set then stamped it in memento tuxedo black dye ink.  Once done, I added it to the card using dimensionals before adding a never before used purple gingham ribbon.  The final embellishment was to take Sakura 3D glaze pens to highlight parts of the image.

Thanks A Melon Summer

Hello and welcome.  Today is the new Saturday challenge at Catch The Bug where I'm guest designing.  This week the theme is Goodby Summer.  Where I live here in California's Central Valley, summer means watermelon season!  There are acres and acres of fresh watermelons harvested on the west side of the Central Valley.  My project uses Bugaboo's August newsletter (which you can subscribe to on the Catch The Bug blog and is new to me) freebie called Summer Peek Watermelon.  If you're not a newsletter subscriber, you can find the image here.

After printing my image onto Hammermill white card stock and coloring using both prismacolor and copic markers, I lightly stippled some Tim Holtz tumbled glass distress ink before sponging some SU rose red around the edges.  After layering, I added it to a rose red card with some watermelon designer paper I've had for who knows how long, since I don't remember buying it.  After popping up the main image panel, I realized I needed some black brads on it.  Since I'm out of those, I made my own by using a small hole punch and Martha Stewart glue pen.  Once I stamped my saying from a LONG retired Stampin Up set called Tiny Talk, I punched the saying and border out, then added to my card using glue dots.  The only other embellishment was some red/pink fibers from my stash.

Unicorns, Rainbows And More NBUS

Hello and welcome.  Second post for me today.  If you're looking for my Santa Pit Stop card, please scroll down one. 

Now I'd like to share a card made using one of the new digital stamps from Impression Obsession called Unicorn H1935-DG and is currently free on their website.  If you don't like to use digital stamps, and prefer using a rubber stamp, you can buy it here on their website.  Personally, I'm loving their new digital stamps. 

After printing off my never before used (NBUS) image onto Neenah white card stock, I colored it using both prismacolor and copic markers.  Once my coloring was finished, I dusted off my old Stampin Up chalks and then colored the sun/sky with them using a cotton ball for the sky, then small makeup applicator for the sun.  Then I stippled some Tim Holtz broken china distress ink around the edges of the image panel, layered, and added some light green brads.  For my card, I pulled out some scrap glitter designer paper from my stash and added that to a white card base.  I then sponged some green galore dye ink around the edges of the card before adding the layered image panel.  My final embellishments were 3D glaze pens to highlight parts of the colored image and a small felt green bow.

Quarantine Kitty and More NBUS (never before used schtuff)

Hello and welcome.  Today I'd like to share with you a card I made using one of Unity Stamps new digital images called Quarantine Dream.  I'm loving Unity's digital images since they're already pre-sized for an A4 card and set to print 4 card fronts per 8 1/2 x 11 sheet of card stock.  I'll admit, I'm lazy when it comes to resizing digital images and these fit me perfectly - especially this set since I'm the "crazy cat lady" of our cul-de-sac.

After printing off the digital image (NBUS), I pulled out my dusty prismacolor and lyra pencils to color the image.  Once the coloring was finished, I layered it and added some purple brads.  For my card, I pulled out a dusty Stampin Up paw print wheel to create my card base.  After adding the layered image panel using glue dots, I added some faux stitching using a 3D glaze pen and then highlighted parts of the colored image using the same 3D glaze pen set.  Once that was dry, I color spritzed a lilac marker over the card before sponging matching lilac ink around the edges of the card base.  My final embellishment was a chipboard paw print I've had for years and never used.  Viola!!  Finished.  I plan on sending this to a friend who fosters pregnant cats & their kittens for a no kill shelter.

Popcorn Please?

Hello again and welcome.  Today I'd like to share a card I've made using the Popcorn Sprite digi from Stamps By Aurora Wings paired with some At The Movies digital paper from the now closed My Time Made Easy. 

After printing off the sprite, I then colored her using both prismacolor and copic markers before sponging Tim Holtz tumbled glass and broken china distress inks around her.  Once she was layered, I added some enamel dots from Stampin Up, a ribbon, and Jolee's movie ticket/popcorn stickers.  My final embellishment was highlighting parts of the Sprite and her dress using some Sakura 3D glaze pens.

Halloween Spirits And More NBUS

Hello and welcome.  Yes, I have one more Halloween card to share.  Migraines, and other health issues, didn't allow me to finish it until today.  For the card, I pulled out a never before used digital image from Simply B Stamps and a martini stencil from Picket Fence Studios. 

I started out by merging the retired digital image (Spirited Betty) and the matching saying in MS Word, then printing it out on white card stock.  I then took the martini glass stencil, placed it on the folded card, then sponged Stampin Up rich razzleberry ink all over the card then colored my image using both prismacolor and copic markers.  Once the coloring was finished, I sponged the rich razzleberry around the edges, layered and added some pale yellow moon brads.  I then spritzed three markers over the image before adding to my stenciled card.  For my embellishments, I added some fibers from my stash, ice stickles on the drink glass, and highlighted the saying using black/red embossing glaze pens.

Five Minutes Before

Hello and welcome.  Today I'd like to share with you a card I made using the Stella I don't always do mornings from Bugaboo Digital Stamps for Bugaboo's October Bingo challenge as well as a few others. For my card, I went with "distress, players choice and die/punch" bingo.

After printing off my image onto white card stock and coloring using both prismacolor and copic markers, I layered the colored image onto scraps of green and brown card stock then adding brads.  I then took my fingernail to distress the outside of the bottom layer.  Next, I took another brown scrap and dry embossed it using the cuttlebug circles embossing folder along with my big shot.  I then took a sanding block to "age" the embossed layer before adding it to a dark green card.  I then added the layered image to the card using pop up glue dots before adding flowers punched from card stock scraps, bling, and two acrylic circle stickers.  My final embellishments was highlighting Stella's glasses using a silver gel pen and sponging some distress inks around the edges of the card. I'm really happy with how this one turned out since it was made on no sleep.  Can we say "thank you migraine".

A Sparkling Wave

Hello and welcome.  Second post for me today.  If you're looking for my Eat Turkey post, please scroll down one.

I'd like to share with you a card I made using a stamp originally bought by my daughter over 10yrs ago at a stamp convention when stamping with mom was fun. She had put it into a box of stuff she was planning to toss when she moved out a few years back, so I took it out of the box.  ;)  I think the image is made by Rubberstamp Ave but I'm not sure since it was unmounted when my daughter bought it.  My hubby made a wood block to put the stamp on.

After stamping the image in Tim Holtz chipped sapphire ink, I colored it using copic markers before layering and adding white brads.    Taking a couple of scraps of black/blue card stock, I dry embossed them using a Tim Holtz cracked glass embossing folder before layering and adding to my card.  I then took a white gel pen to highlight the wave bubbles and diamond ice stickles to highlight parts of the wave itself.  The picture really doesn't do all of the sparkle justice.  The card background is one sent to me by my friend Kelli.  As a final touch, I sponged Stampin Up brilliant blue ink around the edges of the card.

Creeping By

Hello and welcome  I will apologize ahead of time for any typo's since I'm trying to type and listen to Purple Rain at the same time.  Oh how I love listening to Prince. I so miss his music.

Today I would like to share a fairly simple Halloween card I made.  I started off by stamping the web in Tim Holtz weathered wood ink onto scrap white card stock before sponging the same ink around the edges and then layering onto some scrap gray card stock before adding some brads.  I then dry embossed a black panel using my cuttlebug spiderweb embossing folder and adhered it to a stamped orange card.  I then stamped the spiders in memento black before coloring using copic markers and cut out the candy corn to adhere using micro glue dots.  After using a silver glaze pen to the web, and black embossing glaze pen to the spiders and saying, I added some tiny googlie eyes to the spiders.  My final embellishments was a black bow using a small snippet of scrap ribbon.  Here's the inside of the card:

A Little Gnome Kindness

Hello and welcome.  Today I'd like to share a card made using another digital stamp from Kinda Cute by Patricia.  This one is called Gnome and Mouse and is just darling and can be used for all sorts different occasions.

Once I printed off the image, I colored it up using both prismacolor and copic markers before stippling Tim Holtz tumbled glass distress ink around the edges then layering.  For the grass I sponged Adirondack lettuce dye ink before adding some "faux brads" by punching out four small circles then adhering them using a Martha Stewart glue pen.  I then grabbed some scrap designer paper, adhered it to my card, then sponged lettuce dye ink around the edges of the card.  The only embellishments added were some forgotten scrap ribbon and butterfly sticker that have been in my stash for years.  I'm really happy with how this turned out since I made it while still dealing with my migraine.

Hello Ups!ide Down and More Never Before Used Stuff

Hi there.  Did I make you smile??  Who wouldn't want to smile after seeing this cute flamingo.  It's from Gerda Steiner Designs and is called Upside Down Flamingo and is perfect for any type of card. The saying is from Hedgehog With Sign set.  Both are sets I haven't used.

I stamped the flamingo in memento black ink onto white card stock then colored using copic markers before stamping the saying in the upper right corner.  For the sand, I repeatedly stamped the fern from Stampin Up's retired Watercolor Minis in various brown dye inks. After adding a panel of Colorbok Light Bright designer paper, I added an embossed border then sponged the card edges with pink passion dye ink.  I then highlighted parts of the flamingo using a black Sakura glaze pen.  The only embellishments added were bright pink brads and pink circle clips.

Surfing Penguin Kindness

Hello all.  Second post from me today.  If you're looking for my snowman card, please scroll down one post.

I've been having a lot of issues with my migraines lately, so coloring and card making have been hit and miss.  For this card, I pulled out and dusted off some retired Stampin Up sets and showed them some love.   I stamped the penguin from Penguin Paradise onto some scrap white card stock then colored using both prismacolor and copic markers before layering on more scrap card stock.  I then stamped the card using the flamingo trio stamp from Tickled Pink in turquoise ink before over stamping the saying from Heard From The Heart.  I then took a scrap of orange card stock, stamped it and sponged around the edges before popping up my penguin panel over it.  The only embellishments added were some turquoise brads and ice stickles highlighting the waves.

Patriotic Snowman

Hello and welcome.  Today I'd like to share with you another Christmas card I've made.  The image is from a stamp I received as a RAK and is called Brother Sister Design Studio.  I've tried finding a store site for them but no luck.

After stamping the image in memento tuxedo black ink onto some scrap white card stock, I colored everything using both prismacolor and copic markers.  Once the coloring was finished, I dry embossed a scrap red panel and a hunter green panel before sponging poppy ink around the edges of my card.  I then lightly sponged matching poppy and hunter inks over the dry embossing before adhering them to my card.  My final embellishments were brads, paper poinsettia flowers and then some gold/diamond ice stickles.

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.

Knowledge Is Power

Hello and welcome.  Today I'd like to share a card I made for a couple of challenges using a retired set from My Favorite Things called I Heart Books.  Since I was going with a "back to school" theme, I pulled out a brown paper lunch bag to use as the base of my card before adding some retired Basic Grey designer paper and sponging Tim Holtz fired brick distress ink around the edges of the card.  I then stamped the images in memento tuxedo black ink onto scraps of white card stock and colored them using both prismacolor and copic markers.  I then cut out all of the colored images and popped up the reading child and added the book worm to the inside.  The only embellishments added are some red bakers twine, brads, and a couple of prima flowers with a bling center.

Hello and welcome.  Today I'd like to share a card I made using A and M Memories Springtime Suzette digital stamp for this month's progressive challenge over on the A and M Memories Facebook group.
