OCC Day 5 & 6

Hello everyone,

Today I have a card for Day 6 and I was inspired by Debbie's card.  Since I don't have the stamp set they use in class, I improvised.

I had a piece of wood paper ( think that's what it is) that came in one of the Simon Says Stamp card kid so I thought I would use that to stamp on.  It wasn't the best thing to heat emboss as the wood did buckle a bit.  I used my copics to colour in the leaves of the Lawn Fawn Botanicals stamp set.  I die cut the hello out of a second piece of wood paper that I was using as a test and coloured that with my copics as well to darken it so there would be a contrast and would be seen.  t used the Lawn Fawn stitched journaling die but I did some partial die cutting as I made the wood panel thinner than the actual die.   The patterned paper is also from a CK from Simon (apologize I don't have the month as I take the kits apart as soon as they come in) and used the Lawn Fawn sequins from Into the Woods as well as May Arts twine that also came in a kit.

Supplies:
Lawn Fawn Stitched Journaling die
Lawn Fawn Blissful Botanicals
SSSCK - wood paper, May Arts twine & patterned paper
Ranger White embossing powder
SSS small Hello die
Lawn Fawn Into the Woods sequins

Love is everything - Card

Hi there!

Today I have a card share for you today.
I saw this on YouTube posted by Slipcoaststampers and I got out my pitt artist pens from Faber Castell and I thought I would try it.  It's called Zentangle.  

I used the Mama Elephant Honey Bunny stamp set and coloured them in with my copics.  I used Recollections card stock and the sentiment is from the June CKOM from Simon Says Stamp and stamped it with Hero Arts black ink.

Thanks for stopping by!

See you soon with another card.

OCC Day 3 & 4 Watercolour for Card Makers

Hello everyone!

Here is my card for day 3 of the Watercolour for Card Makers.  I was inspired by Kristina's card.

I used the Canson 140lb watercolour paper.  for the background I used metallic watercolours that I got from Amazon and I love them.  They give a nice amount of shimmer. I used one of the stamp sets from a SSS CKOM for the flowers and sentiment.  I stamped the flowers with Dusty Concord distress marker and the stems I did free hand with my green distress marker (I think it was mowed lawn) and I stamped the sentiment with Versafine onyx black ink.  The card size is 3x3.

Here is my card for Day 4.  I was inspired by Yana's card.  

I loved how her card turned out.  I did try a couple of different things but this seamed to work the best for me at the time.  

I used a stamp set from CTMH that is retired but it's a build your sentiment set and there were a few detailed flowers and a few other images included that worked great with this technique.

I used the same Canson watercolour paper as the first card, actually I bought a 50 sheet pack before class started and that's the only water colour paper I am using.  I have 90lb watercolour paper too but I like the heavier one better.  

I used inexpensive Artist Loft watercolours and black Recollections cards stock from Michaels and the sentiment is from Avery Elle Handwriten Notes.  The rest of the sentiment is inside the card.  It's "Happy Birthday To You" and I didn't like the way the "To You" would have looked on the front so I put it inside.

Thanks for stopping by!  

See you for Day 4 & 5!

OLCC C&S3 - Pre-Class Gallery

Hi everyone,

I have a few cards to share for the SSS Online Card Class Pre-class gallery.  Class starts on Monday March 10th...yipppeeee!

For this card I used my new Spellbinders dies that I saw Vicky Papaioannou over at Clips & Cuts and she uses these often and I just love them.  I used Recollections card stock as well as the SSS Pillow Talk and the matching talk bubble dies. 

For this one I used the SSS Stinkn' Cute stamp set and coloured him in with my copics ( I am no expert but I'm having fun practicing).  I used the happy birthday from the Hats off to you set from Lawn Fawn and the talk bubble die is the same as the card above and finally some micro sequins from one of the SSS CKOM.  Then I used my Uni-ball white gel pen to make the lines around the card

This card I used the Hero Arts triangle background stamp along with HA Fresh Peach dye ink.  I used my other set of Spellbinders dies and the On the Mend set from Lawn Fawn. 

And this one I used the Pillow Talk stamp set (again! I just love this one) and coloured it with my copics again.  I used the Wink of Stella clear glitter pen on the pillow and I used my new translucent embossing paste from Wendy Vecchi (Dreamweaver) and a stencil from Heidy Swap with the hearts, stars and snow all on the same 6x6 stencil ( I love that there are three in one).  I used distress ink for the sky and mounted that up on foam squares on to an A2 size card base.

(Update - All the stamps, embossing paste and ink I got through  Simon Says Stamp and the Recollections cards stock and Spellbinders dies are from Michaels.

Thanks for stopping by!

HCW Day 5

Hi everyone!

Here are my His and Hers cards for Day 5 of the Holiday Card Workshop.


I LOVE Laura Bassen, she is very talented and she just cracks me up!

So for my "Hers" card I took inspiration from Laura and found a stamp set (SSS CKOM) and found some stripe stamps.  She was right, this is a bit time consuming but a whole lot of fun!

I used the Hero Arts Red Royal and Pale Tomato shadow inks and used Versafine Onyx Black ink for the sentiment, whis is from the "Christmas" 3x4 stamp set from SSS.  I used the Jillibean twine that came in the Elegant Dec card kit from SSS, the special one and made a bow to use up some on the white space.

This is my "His" card which I took inspiration from Debbie (love her too!).  I used the Paper Smooches snowflakes dies and heat embossed them with the Martha Steward silver embossing powder.  I used the "Holiday Hellos" 3x4 stamp set from SSS and heat embossed it as well with Hero Art white embossing power (this is what happens when you only think to use your embossing buddy after you've turned on your hear tool!)  

Thanks for stopping by!

See you soon.

HCW13 Day 2

Hello everyone,

It's day 2 of the Holiday Card Workshop 13 and I took inspiration from Debbie's card.  I received my SSS extra card hit for December (so excited!) and I used the snowflake die that came with that kit.

I used glitter on the blue snowflake, stickles on the other and liquid glass on the third.

I also used the stickles to line the white snowbank.  

I used the sentiment that came in the same kit and used Outdoor Denim ink from CTMH.

Thanks for stopping by!

See you soon.

Simon Says Stamp Holiday Card Workshop 2013 Day 1

Hello everyone!

I have joined the Holiday Card Workshop and this is day 1 and I am super excited!

Here is my card for Day 1.  I've used Kristina's card as inspiration.  Since I only have three rolls of wash tape in my stash (Yes, you read that right!) I used red baker's twine instead and,  here is another shocker, I don't have a penguin stamp either!  So I used this stamp from SSS Purry Christmas instead.  I also thought it would be cute to wrap the twine around it's tail and ear as this is what my cat would do.

I used kraft card stock from one of my SSS CKOM kits and used the Swiss Dots embossing folder by Cuttlebug.  I heat embossed the sentiment from the Purry Christmas stamp set with Hero Arts white embossing powder.  I love it because it is actually a nice crisp white.

Finally I coloured in the image with copics and you may not be able to see it well but I used stickler on the ribbon part of the gift box.

Thanks for stopping by and what for another card tomorrow!!
