Prayers

Back again.

This time I am sharing a couple of cards I did a little water coloring on.

They both use the same image, just different colors.

These will be entered into the following Challenges:

Simon Says Monday, Beautiful Botanicals.

Simon Says Wednesday, Anything Goes.

These both use the beautiful Lovely Blooms stamp set from Studio Katia.

Stamped in Amalgam Black ink and heat set with Clear Embossing Powder.

These were just so fun to use with my Zig Water Color Markers.

Hero Arts Prayers die cut.

Lots of ink splatters.

Same.  Same.

I'm finding it easier and easier to make (basically) the same card twice.

Give it a try!

Thanks for coming by.

Enjoy~~

Thinking Of You

Good Morning!

I have been lucky enough to spend some time in my craft room creating cards.

And I have been fortunate enough to send out the ones I have made.

Mailed 10 the other day and only 1 was a birthday card.  

The others were just to let people know I have been thinking about them.  

These 2 cards will be entered into the following Challenges:

Hero Arts, Creativebug Inspiration, I chose Day #12, Heat Embossing.

Simon Says Wednesay, Anything Goes.

I created my backgrounds using the Gina K Designs sets, Elegant Florals and Stately Flowers #12.

Heat Embossed in White on pale blue card stock.

Paper Smooches Foliage 3 dies.

Hero Art Everyday Sayings heat embossed in Silver on Vellum.

Adhesive Rhinestones.

Basically the same card.

Font is different on the sentiment but it is also from the Everyday Sayings set.

Really fun and easy to create.

Same.  Same.

Thanks so much for coming by.

And remember not only is it fun to make a card 

it's really delightful to pop them in the mail.

Enjoy~~

Layered Tags

Back again!

This time I am sharing a couple of Layered Tags I created.

These will be entered into the following Challenges:

Hero Arts, Using a Creativebug Inspiration Theme.

I chose the Day #5 Inspiration, Layered Tags.

Simon Says Wednesday, Anything Goes.

I've always enjoyed making tags and these are no exception.

I try to add as much as possible to each one.

Tutti Designs Stitched Tags die, cut twice.  One for the tag itself and one to crop for the layering portion.  In this case it was a pale pink card stock which I then ran through that Corrugator Gizmo.

Tutti Designs Stitched Banners dies.

Memory Box Butterfly Exhibit and Row Of Poppies dies, each cropped.

Corner Tab Punch.

Hero Arts, Everyday Sayings stamp set.

Wood Heart .

Cardboard Button.

Adhesive Rhinestones.

Baker's Twine.

A few layers.

Again I used the Tutti Designs Stitched Tags die, cut twice.

  One for the Tag and one cropped for layering, which I ran through my Corrugator Gizmo.

Elizabeth Craft Dandelion Fluff die.

Crafty Ann Butterfly #6 die, cut from Vellum.

Hero Arts, Everyday Sayings stamp set.

Melon Mambo ink.

Clear Embossing Powder.

Vellum.

Ribbon Lace and Pearls.

Pearl Strand.

Adhesive Pearls.

Foam Dot.

Kind of Shabby.  Kind of Chic.

Tags!

Because they're still FUN to make!

Thanks for popping by!

Just A Note and a Summer Story

Good Morning!

Hope you all are doing well!

My first card will be entered into the following Challenges:

Simon Says Monday, Beautiful Botanicals.

Penny Black, Say It With Flowers.

Simon Says Wednesday, Anything Goes.

I used the beautiful stamp set, Lovely Blooms by Studio Katia.

This image is beyond lovely!

Stamping in Versa Mark ink and heat setting the image using 

Black Embossing Powder, I created my pretty panel.

I then stamped it a second time in the same manner.  

Colored the floral image with Copic Markers and then fussy cut out.

Cutting a smaller Vellum rectangle I adhered that to my bottom panel

then I layered my colored image on top lining it up properly.

Sentiment by Hero Arts, Everyday Sayings.

Heat Embossed in White.

Foam Dots to pop it up.

This design makes for a very lovely card.

This next card will be entered into the 

Impression Obsession Challenge, Summer Fun.

This summer has been quite unusual and I am sure we all have stories to tell.

This card measures 4 x 4 inches.

Impression Obsession stamp set, Summer Vibes.

Stamped in Amalgam Black ink and colored with Copic Markers.

White panel layered on a piece of blue card stock and then layered on a square of Vellum.
