hunny Bee

2012-02-01T17:22:00.000-08:00

Another fun image from Scrapbook Stamp Society, called Hunny Bee by Heather Valentin. I love Heather's bold lines she uses when doing an image. it makes it so much easier to stay in the lines.. I colored the image with copic markers and added some glitter with my gel pen on the heart and the antineas. I cut the image using a spellbinder die called curved rectangles and use one of the new dies from Memory box, also sold at Scrapbook Stamp Society. The flowers are from Michaels and the bling is also..

pretty as a flower

2012-01-27T08:00:00.000-08:00

This is my latest card from an image for Scrapbook stamp society. I made the card using an image called Cameo 5 by Morgan Fitzsimmons. As you can tell I love, love her images. the image was colored using copic markers and the die is from Spellbinders. The background was done using a technique Junkies technique called double buggin.. The
butterfly is one of Martha Stewarts and the flowers are from Michaels. except for the large one at the bottom.. and I made that.. Sometime in the future I will do a technique blog on how to do them.. I promise they are supper easy.

Thanks for stopping by..
and keep on stamping

double buggin

2012-01-25T08:00:00.000-08:00

This is a card that I made for a coworker for her birthday.. the image is from Sweetpea Stamps and the technique I used is from Technique junkies

and it is called double bugging.. this is where you put the paper in a embossing folder.. and emboss, then highlight the embossed areas of the card stock with ink.. on this I used memories white ink. then you put the image back through the die cut machine.. I have a cuttlebug.. but you put it under the folder not in it.. and you roll it back and forth about 3 times.. this will flatten the embossing.. then you use a different embossing folder..

It give a real rich designer paper look.

I have found that the best stamp pads to use are the firmer one.. when highlighting the raised embossing..

they stay on top better then the small ones or the softer one..

I wanted to make her look like she was a flower so I used some different spellbinder dies and sort of moved then around to look like petals. then I added a butterfly from memory box and some ribbon

Thanks

Birthdays are like pickles

2012-01-24T16:38:00.000-08:00

This is the card I made for my brother for his birthday .. the image is from Squigglefly. When I first saw this I thought a jar of pickles why.. then I read the saying and I had to have it.. When I made the card I colored it with Copic markers and then On the pickle and on the jar I used glossy accents to make the pickle look wet and the jar more like glass.. I did add some nail heads to the corners on the left side to make it more finished.. but I did not rescan the card.. so just pretend they are there..

on the inside

Be Mine

2012-01-23T08:00:00.000-08:00

This is the card that I made for the Squigglefly blog challenge. What you needed to do was to use ribbon, glitter and at least one brad. To me glitter means girls stuff and since one of the wonderful new images was Valentines hearts. This one seemed to meet all my desires for the challenge. The image is called Heart Candy , by Betsy LePlatt, who has some really awesome images.

I colored with image with copic markers, and then added some glitter to the plan heart using some glossy accent as the glue. Then I decided the little hearts looked like red hots, so I added some glossy accent to this also.

Next I sponged some pink and purple ink onto the white areas.. because I did not want as much open space.. After that I took a purple and a red copic marker and randomly added dots to the background.

this was layered on red paper and held together by the brads. I then layered designer paper onto some red card stock and wrapped ribbon around the top and the bottom. Then mounted the heart candy at an angle and mounted the whole thing on a white card blank..

So get you an Squigglefly image and play along with this weeks challenge, I cannot wait to see your image.

May looking back in memory

2012-01-16T11:08:00.000-08:00

I needed to make a sympathy card so when I saw the new images come out on Squigglefly, I knew this was the one I wanted to use. the image is called Orchids by Deena Perreault, and the saying is also a Squigglefly It is called sympathy sentiments by Michelle Bertuzzi. This is a set of 10 so you will always have the correct one for these very difficult cards to make.

The Orchids were colored using copic markers and then I just cut it out using a spellbinder die.

and using the out of the die technique from Technique Junkies.

the Background I wanted to keep simple so I just did an embossing folder.

Thank for stopping by.

Smells a little fishy

2012-01-14T21:39:00.000-08:00

I did another gate card, this one was using an image from Squigglefly, called a Floating Thought , When I was given this image to create a card with I must admit I said What can I do with it. Animal images are not my thing. So I decided lets go outside of the box. So I made the image large, and colored it as a gold fish.

Then after coloring it with copic markers I used a glossy accents to make the image stand out. The next fun thing was my darling Husband's idea.. Chico gives me hints on my cards when I am not sure where to go.. he said it needed bubbles. Now how do you make bubbles.. Well I decided to use small plastic accents. These where clear but I took an alcohol ink stream colored. and dyed the clear plastic,.. I read about this someplace.
Next I turned to the Squigglefly design team for help with the say inside..

And my favorite came from Terri .. This card is going to my older sister.. so do not tell her..

Santa Claus is coming to town

2011-12-05T12:00:00.000-08:00

This is the card that I have made for latest challenge on the Squigglefly challenge blog. The challenge this week is inspired by a song. The song I picked was Santa Claus is Coming to Town. The image I used is called Kris Kringle I love this image it reminds me of the photo stamp images. I felt like I wanted this card to have an aged look. So I just used Tim Holtz's Distress ink to color the image with the ink applicator. and then tore the edges. Then I used a part of an embossing folder on the bottom to show Santa flying thru the air.
the background is just designer paper. I then added a wee bit of glitter with a gel pen on the hat.. to give it just a little sparkle.
Thanks for stopping by.. don't forget to enter the blog challenge I would love to see what you do with a song..

Wasn't the project from Jamie awesome, I know I loved it.

Here is my project. I made a Christmas card and a gift card holder, because we all give gift cards.

Don't forget to leave a comment as I will be giving away the digi image this card was made with. all you need to do is leave a comment with your email address and a winner will be picked on Monday. Goodluck and enjoy

The image I used is called, Lil Sweetie Star Angel by Sherri Baldy.
I love this little angel.. she was so fun to color. The technique I used to do the angel is a Technique Junkies technique called out of the die, this is where you leave parts to the image sticking outside of the die. Below is how the Spellbinders die looked before I put it through the Cuttlebug.

The image was colored with Copic markers and to add a bit a special glow, I colored the dress with a clear star Gelly Roll pen.

I love how this just makes the dress pop off the page. Then I of course had to add the glow to wings also.. you know you can never have too much bling.

The final steps was to cut out the blue layer with Spellbinders label 20. and add some swirls called Rhinestone Flourish from Michal's. The saying is a stamp and I do not know who makes it sorry about that.
all my paper comes from Paper Temptress. Then I added the flourish, the flourish I cut apart, because it was to large .But I used both parts by making it look like it connected.

Now my next project is a matching, (well sort of) gift card Wallet. The wallet is another technique from Technique Junkies.

On the outside I used designer paper which hides how you attach the strap. The gift card is inserted into the fold in the center of the card. I used Lil Star Angel in the center of the next to where the gift card goes.

an old fashioned Christmas

2011-11-26T12:00:00.000-08:00

This is another card I forgot to write down what I did so I am guessing on this one too.. so please forgive me if I get anything wrong.

I think the stamp is from Time to Stamp, I colored the paper with multi shades of distress ink, then inked part of the stamp with mahogany distess and the green with evergreen distress.. then just tore the edges and ink them to age the piece. The background is a cuttlebug hight light from Technique junkies Then I added ribbon and stickers..

Thanks

butterfly dreams

2011-11-20T12:00:00.000-08:00

Playing with some new toys on this card. The background was done with a new item by Sizzix, which has a matching stamp and embossing folder.. The embossing matched the stamp and so the raised portion is where the stamp is. Then I used a butterfly stamp and used my new butterfly circle for this.
inside the circle I sponged the around the image with distress ink..
This turned into a fun fast card.

lil Sue

2011-11-18T12:00:00.000-08:00

This card was made with a digital image from the Scrapbook Stamp Society. I love these images, the printing is heavy enough on them that
it makes the images easy to color. This image is called Lil Sue , by Heather Valentin. I have done other images by her and have loved each and every one.
I hope you enjoy this image as much as I do. I colored her with Copic markers, and using paper from Paper Temptress I used the Spellbinders Frameablities class frame for make the frame and the flowers. Then added some gems.

Make sure you stop by addicted stamps and pick of the great freebie image.. it is awesome. I know sometime this weekend I will be using it and posting what I did with it on my blog. Would love to see what you do with it too.

2011-11-11T16:02:00.000-08:00

This card was made as a birthday card for my friend Sue, I really like the way the stamped image colors.. It is easier to do these then they
look.
I colore her with copic markers and I guess I did not write the numbers down for this I am sorry, I will do better next time.
She was cut out using a Spellbinder die, Petite ovals small, and then mounted on Spellbinders lattice rectangles. I then took a piece of cordinations paper and embossed it with a cuttlebug embossing folder, then sanded the raised portions. You can find complete directions on how to do this at Technique Junkies. I mounted this on pink paper from Paper Temptress. added some pink and brown ribbon on the corners and some brownish colored pearls on the other corners..

Christmas Angel

2011-11-07T12:00:00.000-08:00

I just love this new image from Squigglefly called Angel with bouquet, by Inger Harding. When I was working on the card I decided I wanted it in reds, and we know with working with Copics this is not the easist of the colors to work with. I also wanted bling, and glitter.
To make the wings glittery I used Stickles Stardust. and because I wanted The bottom of the dress and the collar and sleaves to look puffy I adde sparkly fluff to these.. so the card has bling and texture. Be sure to join the challenge on the Squigglefly blog to make a card with no patterened paper. I missed my embossing folder but I think this just makes this image all the better .

just a little old fashioned.

2011-11-04T17:07:00.000-07:00

This was done with a image from scrap book stamp society, morgans fitzsimons 1920 hat . The image was colored with copic markers and cut out with spellbinders die. The Paper is from Paper Temptress and the flourish die is from Cherrylynn. I love this flourish. it is just so elligant. I used a Xyron to glue these one.. but I think there must be a better way as you need to remove the glue from all the open places with the Xyron.
Thanks

The card was made by taking white paper cutting it with dies, while leaving the die in place. I stamped the words, and used a sponge to color in the white paper. I stacked the dies, using die 16 and die 2 Then did with the embossing folder I rubbed the ink on the back side this made only the embossing colored. added ribbon and flower

Squigglefly floral challenge

2011-09-26T12:00:00.000-07:00

This weeks squigglefly challenge is a floral challenge.. all you need to do is use a squigglefly image and some flowers..
The image I choose to use was a saying, May your Day bloom with happiness and I also used the flowers set .
I have to say I love the flowers set.. the lines are so bold you can do some great stuff with them
To join the Squigglefly challenge.

The Top card I decided to just use Designer paper and die cuts.. The designer paper is the five dollar pad you can buy at Wal-mart.
Now I can tell you it is cute and nice paper .. I was suprised. The die cut is spellbinders Peite oval. Then I added some buttons, and ribbon.. a great card for when you need to do more then one.

Now the second card is one of my favorites.

on this I used the squigglefly flowers set, and the bloom saying
techinique from Technique Junkies call Vellum sentiments
the copic markers are
YG63, YG61, YG95
R08, R01
YR07, YR24, YR21, YR02
Y38
spellbinders dies
classic scallop square
Labels 2

metal stickers red nailheads and flowers from Prima
the background paper is designer paper

I colored the Suigglefly image with the copic markers and then cut it out using labels 2, then I took a piece of vellum and cut it out using lables 2. The vellum I put thru my Xyron machine. this is the best fix for your adhesives not showing that I have found. When you put your vellum thru the printer.. set it aside so it can dry..otherwise it might smear.
I turned the classic square so it has a diamond shape.. layered and
there is the card..
thanks for visiting.. and do not forget to enter the challenge.

I decided after the birthday invitations that I need to take a break for coloring.. needed to do something different.. I choose to do a Technique Junkies, technique called neutral shadows. What you do is stamp an image with versa mark ink, Embossing with white embossing powder and then using a small stipple brush you stipple around the image..
After doing that I used the oval die cut and mounted on a scalloped die cut.. this was mounted.. on embossed paper.. Then I added a ribbon and some flowers

I had an order for party invitations, from the Princess and the Frog Disney movie. If you ever need images for something like this just google free Disney coloring pages.. you can copy these and print.. That took care of an image I could not find anyplace. Next I colored the image with copic markers, and cut it out with an oval diecut, then mounted it on a beaded oval die cut.. this was mounted on an embossed paper then I layered on the bottom a Birthday party stamp.

The Matching birthday card was just the invitation with som small changes..

The image is from Squigglefly, and is called Butterfly Suzie, Such a fun image She cannot help but make you smile.. I decided to step out of my color comfort zone with this card.. and did it in Blue.. almost a monochromatic layout. I colored her with copic markers, Choose some different shapes of Spellbinder dies, added a embossing folder and some flowers and a really fun card.. The technique on this one from Technique Junkies is Cuttlebug highlight.

please see below for a list of supplies..

thanks

Directions

The Image for Sassy dunce is a digital image from Squigglefly, my favorite digital stamp company. I printed this image on the Heavenly White paper, Since Las Vegas is so dry I did not need to heat set the ink. but depending on your location or the amount of humidity in the air you might need to heat set the .

The image was color with Copic Markers, I wanted the hat to stick outside of the oval die cut. so I carefully trimmed the sides of the hat so the part I wanted to be outside of the die cut could be put over the cutting blade. I read about doing this in the Technique Junkies newsletter.

The scalloped oval was made using Sparkle Abysse paper. from Paper Temptress

The background was made using a piece of Heavenly White paper that I just scribbled different shades of yellow and blue watercolor crayons from Stampin' Up' , I then wet a paint brush and blended the colors together. After the paper was dry, I embossed the background paper with, the Cuttlebug embossing folder for birthdays. The raised embossed images was highlighted using Adirondack Red Pepper ink.

I took some of the Red Pepper ink and put it on a dry paper towel and lightly dabbed it around the Sassy -dunce image.

on a scrap of Heavenly white I stamped the saying from Penny Black It's your Birthday, with memento Tuxedo Black.

This was cut out using the same mega oval set as the main image did.

The card was mounted on plan white card blanks. that are 5 X6.5 that can be bought at Michael's.

Don't forget to go to the Squigglefly challenge blog and do your card for the #113- Writer's Cramp

Use chalk (any kind), pencil, ball point pen, highlighter or crayons on your project or use a school themed image or sentiment on your project

The main stamp on this card is from Stampendous..
I used distressed ink to color the heavenly white paper from Paper Temptress.
to do this I used the Tim Holtz application tool.. it is a must.. you start off the paper and work in so you do not get little square spots..
the corner stamp is unknown.
I stamped the Stampendous stamp in Mementos black and the sun corners in Mementos brown
then added ribbon a square charms
thanks

A little note

2011-08-27T13:09:00.000-07:00

The stamp company is a crafters companion , and the saying comes with the set. I colored this with copic markers and just trimmed around the stamp.. the same with the background..
for the background I used an embossing folder.. but I do not know the company.. and used a techique junkies, technique called cuttlebug highlight.. I went over the embossing in black to make it look more like music notes.
And cut out with a round scalloped spellbinders die cut..
then mouned on designer paper and added fowers..
thanks
Debbie

I used two different stamp compies on this card, the one in the foreground is from Stampavie, it is a Mo Manning stamp. And the stamps in the background are from sweetpea.
The background was done by randoming stamping the two stamps in different colors or inks.
The Mo Manning stamp was colored with copic markers.. When I saw this stamp I knew who it was going to be for, It so reminded me of this lady at church ...I mouned on oval die cuts and layered..
thanks

Cute story Time

2011-08-01T10:38:00.000-07:00

This is another Squgglefly image , called Cute Story Time , I just think the image is fun. The Challenge at http://squigglefly.blogspot.com/

was to either write or doodle or draw on a card.. My handwriting is horrible, my drawing is worse so I settled for trying to make it look stitched. The image was colored with copic markers and I used nestiblities labels for the shape. Be looking for a blog candy to be announced soon.

Thanks for visiting

This card was made for the Hang Ten Challenge on the Squigglefly blog. The image is called Dancing Debbie, I have to admit, I could not resist this image because of the name. The artist is Cheryl Alger. I colored the image with copic markers and tried the dotting technique, for Shading.. not sure that I did it correctly but it looked kind of fun with with image. The background is from an embossing folder. Which I highlighted with black ink. This is a technique from Technique Junkies and the other Technique I used from Technique Junkies of called out of the die. where you have a part of the image sticking out of the die. I choose the foot.
The Lets Party is from Fiskers.
Thanks for stopping by.
