Bunny Tales

Hello.  Welcome.  Needed a quick Thinking of You card.

I used patterned paper from the Works for my background.  I cut with Poppystamps Heart Swoosh die and inset a red card die cut and then cut the heart from red mirror card.  The bunny is from Paperbabes Whimsical Woodland Set 3 stamped with Potting Soil and Black Archival ink on woodgrain paper and fussy cut.  The sentiment is a Unity stamp.

Hot Pink Winter

Hello.  Welcome.  I seem to be swinging between summer and winter at the moment.  Lots of Christmas in July challenges, and that's all good with me for getting the Xmas card stash rebuilt.  I recently got the large version of Stamplorations Gingerbread House and decided it would look perfect in a glittery hot pink landscape.

I made a base card using Kort og Godt red/white stripe patterned card.  I cut Memory Box Starlight Snowflake Collage die twice and backed the cuts with hot pink glitter card.  I used Memory Box Golf Club Landscape die to cut another piece of the pink glitter card.  I stamped Stamplorations large Gingerbread House on kraft card, coloured with white gel pen and Promarkers and fussy cut.

Snow in the Southwest

Hello.  Welcome.  It's July and it seems Christmas is breaking out all over.  At the Lost Coast Portal to Creativity and the new challenge theme is also Christmas in July!!!   Hop on board and get a jump on the silly season.   Here's Carmen's Veranda Snow Cowboy in a Southwest Town with just a little bit of snow. 

Squeeeee!  You better watch out!!  Snow Sheriff is in town.  I recently got some new archival inks colours so I thought I'd do some multicolour stamping

Hmmmm!  OK, so on my cream card I stamped Snow Cowboy with Sky Blue archival and masked.  Then I stamped Southwest Town with Orange Blossom archival and masked it.  Then I stamped Lost Coast Designs Peace Dictionary Words three times with the Sky Blue ink.

After removing all those masks I folded the card base and cut it with a stitch die.  I used a cotton bud to smudge some more Orange Blossom ink on the buildings and also over the words.  I added some gel pen colours to the Sheriff and then decided he needed some rhinestones.  I added clear ones to his eyes, hat and scarf and some yellow ones to his star.  

I used an embossing pen and added some Wow white puff powder to the ground and the buildings.  Doesn't he look happy to see the snow!!

More Joy

Hello.  Welcome.  Since I had Unity's Warmth of Winter set out I decided to make another card using the lovely girl.  I actually didn't like these colours so much when I coloured the image but once I put the card together I decided I preferred these deeper shades. Say la doo dah.....

I started by stamping the trees from the Warmth of Winter set and embossing with white powder.  I decided to leave the right hand side of the panel plain and just blended some distress ink around the open space, and also over the trees.  I cut the panel with Stamplorations Carzy Double Stitch rectangle die and used a Kort og Godt patterned card base.  I added my fussy cut girl, who has been coloured with Koh-I-Noor Inktense watercolours.  The sentiment is from Unity Country Christmas Snowman Itty Bitty.

A Cup Of Joy

Hello.  Welcome.  It's been a sunny week so I have been much in the garden and little in the craft room, where it's warm and my glue has become particularly unruly.  Today the sun is being a little slow breaking through the mist, and since we are grilling later and the boys are in charge, I decided to take the chance and make a Christmas card.  Like you do in the middle of summer LOL.  

I've stamped the Unity snowflake background stamp twice and embossed with white powder, then blended Salty Ocean and a little Chipped Sapphire distress ink.  I cut the panel with Stamplorations Double Stitch Rectangle die and mounted on a Kort og Godt patterned card base.  I stamped the girl from Unity Warmth of Winter set, coloured with Koh-I-Noor Inktense watercolours and fussy cut.  The sentiment is from a Unity grab bag.
