OCC Day 1 & 2 Watercolour for Card makers

Hello everyone!

I'm back on Day 1 & 2 of class and here are my cards so far.

Day 1:

I took inspiration from Kristina's card.  I did try all three techniques but only one turned out.

I only have one background stamp so I took a border stamp from one of the CKOM  and clear embossed it into a pattern.  I heat embossed the sentiment in Hero Arts white embossing powder on vellum and then used some enamel dots that I had made out of those peeler beads (yes I stole them from my kids)  We actually had fun doing it.  I use the Reeves watercolours and it's a set of 18 colours.  I got them at Michaels but I can't find them on their site so I couldn't link to them. (Sorry!) s

Day 2:

Here is my card for day 2.  I took inspiration from Agnieszka Malyszek and her technique was to scrible the paper with watercolour pencils and then wet them with a brush.  I popped it up on black Recollections card stock and die cut a tag from Lawn Fawn's "Tag You're It" die set out of vellum.  I used white thread and clear sequins for the embellishments.  The sentiment is from the May 2013 SSS CKOM Mother's day (I think) and cut it out with my scissors.  I then popped that up onto the vellum and the used Liquid Glass (CTMH) to adhere it to the card.

Thanks for stopping by and see you tomorrow for another day of fun card making and new techniques.

Hero Arts

Hello everyone,

Today I have two crds that i made with the Hero Arts OWH Lil Hoot stamp set.  I used my copics to colour in the image, I used some water colours I got from Michaels for the background and a gel pen to do the lines around the focal point.  I used Momento tuxedo back ink for the sentiment.

For this card I used the same stamp set and copics to colour it in but I added some thread and clear sequins.  I used Momento rich cocoa ink for the sentiment.

All the supplies used are either purchased at Michaels or Simons Says Stamp (the thread was purchased at Walmart)

Thanks for stoping by!

Hello everyone,

For today's card it's showing more one layer techniques.

Here's the card I made.  I used Tim Holtz distress inks and I clear embossed only some of the colours to have it a bit different.  I also use America Craft ribbon to add some interest (actually it was to hide an inky incident!  ;).

C&S Day 7 & 8

Hi everyone,

Today for the Clean and Simple 3 online card class we are doing faux water colouring.

Here is my card.

                 I used some bassil card stock (I'm sorry I don't know the colour as it came in a CKOM) and the card base is Recollections white card stock.  I used HA Fresh peach, butter bar and tide pool and chocolate ink from CTMH.  I used my Copic colourless blender to make the water coloured look.  I used Versafine Onix Black in for the sentiment which is from CTMH as well.

It never seamed to fail, when ever I make a card 9 imps out of 10 I get ink on it in the wrong place!  LoL!  

Thanks for stopping by!

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!

Hi everyone

I hope you are all enjoying the Olympics!  I'm super excited that we are doing pretty darn good :)

I just wanted to let you all know why I haven't been posting any cards lately. I have misplaced the cord to my camera!  It's driving me bonkers as I've created cards for a couple of challenges and have now missed them!  I'm going around the house franticly looking for it but it hasn't shown up yet.

So as soon as I find it there will an avalanche of pics...so please bare with me while I try to find my camera cord!

Hope you all enjoy the rest of the Olympics and hope we win gold!  

Thanks for stopping by, have a great weekend!

Stenciled - Day 4 Last day of class

Hi everyone,

Well today is the last day of class and here is my card.  I have to say that this is much nicer in person.  I cut out the leaves on my Silhouette and coloured the green with a copic marker and the other one with Dark Quartz shadow ink and I also used it for the "you".

I want to thank all of you who took the time to have a look at my blog and I also want to say what a great job all the participants have done.  You should all be proud of your creations as they are wonderful.  

I also want to say Thank you for all the hard work the folks at SSS for organizing these classes and the wonderful, talented designers who come up with all the challenges for us.

With that said there is another class starting in March and I can't wait to start another class.

Have a wonderful day!

Thanks for stopping by!

Stenciled - Day 2

Hi everyone,

Today (really yesterday) in class we are using stencils in a bit of a different way.   We used it by scribbling inside the stencil as a different technique.  Here is the card I did using the technique.


I used on of SSS striped stencils and I took a few pinks and reds and I did lines as the background.  I cut out a heart with my Silhouette and popped it up.  I stamped the sentiment directly on the card as well as on the heart so that I would have the full image showing.  Then to tie in the heart I did the dash lines.  Unfortunately I didn't think of it until after I put it on the card!

Thanks for stopping by, see you tomorrow!

Stenciled - Day 3

Hi everyone,

Today in class we are using dimension by using embossing pastes.  I only have the white but would love to get the clear.

Here is my card for today.

I used dies from SSS as well as a stamp set from Ali Edwards.  I stamped the sentiment in Hero Arts Charcoal Shadow ink an I cut the hearts out of basil card stock that came in one of my SSS CKOM (sorry I don't have the name)  The patterned paper is from MME Lost & Found from a few years ago but you can still get it.

Thanks for stopping by, see you tomorrow!

SSS OLCC - Stenciled Day 1

This is my card for today I was inspired by Debbie's card.

I used card stock, stencil, tiny sequins and stamp set are from different SSS card kits. The velum is from Michaels (Recollections) and the twine is American Crafts and I got that from Michaels as well.  I used Hero Arts Fresh Peach shadow ink.

Thanks for stopping by, see you tomorrow for another card.

A few cards

Hello everyone!

I finally got some pictures uploaded from the holidays.  I didn't get as much time as I would have liked to but I did get to do a few things.  

The first card is the latest one I did for a co-worker as her birthday is tomorrow.  I used CTMH and Paper Smooches stamp sets and for the ink, I used Hero Arts shadow inks and some of the new SSS dye inks as well.  I have to say I love the SSS inks and can't wait to get the chance to collect more of them.

For this card I used the SSS January CKOM.  I love the little alien.  I am no expert with the colouring and I wish it was better at it.  I used a TH distress marker "fire brick" and I tried using a water brush with it and it was an epic fail, but I was able to just colour over it with the marker and it hid a multitude of mistakes.

This card I used the curved die from SSS that I got in my Christmas Stocking and an Ali Edwards stamp set.  The sequins were actually acquired from my daughters bag of sequins from Michaels that has a ton of different shapes and thought these would make a nice a addition.

Last but not least I finally got the "Yeti" stamp set from Lawn Fawn and did up this card.  I saw something similar done and unfortunately it was too long ago and I can't find the sit anymore.

I will be starting the latest Online Card Class January 24th and I can't wait.  It is a short class but it will be fun.

Thanks for stopping by.  See you soon!
