Thankful

Hello everyone,

I'm here with another fall card for you and I'm joining in with the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge, anything goes.

I have to admit that this panel was on my desk for a couple of weeks as I wasn't really sure what I wanted to do with it.  But I had a few die cuts sitting in a dish and for some reason it just hit me with what I was going to do.

So for my card I used the You Matter background stamp and stamped it with Versamark and heat embossed it with pearl embossing power in an orange colour.  I then took some Ripe Persimmon distress ink and inked up the sides and a little towards the middle.

I had some metallic thread that I got from my local dollar store and added it to the back of the leave with a glue dot.  The more I was trying to get it to adhered to the leaf the more I realized that it was not really thread but more like tinsel.  It is very fine and adds just a right amount of interest to the card.  I then added the leaf to the panel.  

I used the Thankful die from SSS and cut it out of ivory card stock and added it to the card with some  liquid glue.  To finish off the card I used some sequins from Lucy's Little Things in Fallen Leaves colour and called it done.

I'm here with another fall card for you and I'm joining in with the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge, anything goes.

Thanks so much for stopping by, see you again soon.

C&S Day 1 & 2

Hi everyone!

Today I made a card inspired by Debbie's card. 

I used Bassil and Recollections card stocks, Lawn Fawn sequins and some that were included in one of the SSS CKOM.  I used the talk bubbles that go with the pillow talk SSSstamp set and the HI is from Lawn Fawn's Quinn's ABCs. 

Thanks for stopping bt!

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.

Holiday Card Workshop Day 1 - Card #2

Hi everyone,

I found the time to do up another card and this time I used Jennifer McGuire's card.

I didn't have a background stamp so I used patterned paper.  I heat embossed the star and coloured it with a yellow copic marker.  I used May Arts twine that came in one of the SSS CKOM and the card base has red glitter!

Thanks for stopping by!
