Snow Friends Card!

Good afternoon everyone! WOW! I've hit over 80 followers! I can't believe it! Thank you all so much! I'd like to share a card I made yesterday for the "Baby it's Cold Outside" Challenge over at PollyCraft. This is a rubba' stamp from Cookie Crumbs "Snow Friends" collection. I used pencils to color it in and Diamond stickles to make it sparkle! The sentiment is from the same collection and says "There's no friends like snow friends!". I wrapped a piece of thin light weight twine into a bow to finish it off! Don't forget about my BLOG CANDY!! Please help me spread Fibromyalgia Awareness!

Be My Valentine Card!

This is my first time entering a challenge over at Peachy Keen Stamps Challenge Blog! I thought one of the requirements was to use Peachy Keen Stamps, which I unfortunately do not own, but that is only for their Friday challenge! YAY! The Tuesday challenge is open to use whatever stamp you would like! WAHOO! So this week's challenge is a sketch and make it monochromatic! Here's the sketch: And here's my take! I used various shades of red (pink is a shade!) The stamp is from Ellephantastic and came colored! LOVE that! The ribbon is from Bo Bunny. I cut the heart and circles using my Cricut and George & Basic Shapes cartridge. I then cut the circles in half. I textured the heart and vertical rectangle (after I distressed the edges) with my Sizzix Texture Boutique and Cuttlebug Swiss Dots folder. I went over the heart with Moonlight White ink and then stickled each dot with Diamond stickles. I also inked all the paper edges with Vintage Photo Ink by Ranger. I stickled the edges of the circles also. I faux stitched with my trusty white gel pen for a finished look.
Can you see the glitz?

There's No Place Like Home Card!

Hello everyone and happy Saturday to ya! I hope everyone is staying warm! I created this 5x5 card to follow along with a few challenges. The first was this sketch by Pixie Cottage. The second was Polka Doodles, whose theme was "There's no place like home". And lastly, the third challenge was over at PaperPlay and was "Back to black". I used a new (to me!) technique where I colored the image with watercolor pencils and then actually brushed water over the colors to make it look like I painted it with watercolors. It came out pretty neat I think. The image is from PollyCraft.

Let's not forget I have BLOG CANDY going on HERE!

Quick and Easy Christmas Card!

One more Quick and Easy Christmas Card for you tonight! This image is from Dustin Pike. I colored him in using watercolor pencils and matted him with a metallicy green paper. I doodled around the white edge with red for a finished touch. I used my Sizzix Texture Boutique and the Cuttlebug Swiss Dots folder on the white cardstock. Added the red ribbon and adhered the image. DONE! Again, SO easy!

"S" is for Snowman Card!

Here's another Quick and Easy Christmas Card I whipped up tonight. I used the Cricut and Stretch Your Imagination cart to create the circle frame and Doodlecharms to make the snowman. I cut the frame at 5inches and adhered it to a 5x5 white card. I cut the snowman at 2inches twice, once using the blackout feature and once using the regular cut. I colored his nose orange (instead of cutting the snowman again in orange...trying to save paper! lol) and traced around his outer edge with Diamond Dust Stickles. I added the Merry Christmas tag and DONE! Super easy!

I've Been Framed Christmas Card!

Good evening! I'm still not used to this time change. It feels like it should be so much later in the day! Anyway, I've created a few things for your viewing pleasure today. The first was inspired by Digital Tuesdays Challenge called "I've been Framed". This challenge blog always requires a digital image and whatever the weekly challenge may be. I chose to use this cutie patootie image from the wonderful Dustin Pike. This card was so super easy to do and the challenge over at Polka Doodles this week happens to be "Quick and Easy Christmas".

Wanna know how easy?

Ok, so I cut the circle frame using the Cricut and the Stretch Your Imagination cartridge at 5inches. I adhered it to a 5x5 red card, colored my image and adhered it and the sentiment tag to the card. Done! SO EASY!

Pink Teddy Birthday Card!

I used the Cricut to create this cute circle shaped birthday card. I used the Create-A-Critter and George cartridges. Isn't she cute? I decoupaged the teddy together using layers. I added a pink dress, pink rhinestones and a sheer pink ribbon and then doodled around the pink circle with a white opaque pen to finish it off!

Have a Splashin Birthday Card!

I used the Cricut and 3 cartridges (Everyday Paper Dolls, Doodlecharms and Alphalicious) as well as the Design Studio to create this next card. I cut the little boy at 4inches and the waves at 2inches. I don't remember what I cut the sun at (sorry!).

Surprise! It's an easel card! I used sandpaper (yes, sandpaper!) for the sand, so it looks AND feels like sand! :) I used the DS to cut the words and adhered them to the sandpaper. Added a few embellies and TA-DA! I cute beach themed birthday card for a cute little boy!

Teddy Tea Party Card!

I love my Cherished Teddies stamp set and yet I never seem to use them. I've had them forever, probably for almost 20 years! I used the sketch from AllSorts Challenge this week and combined it with the Monochromatic challenge over at Just Cute Bears. I zig zag stitched the outside square and used the straight stitch on each individual square. The image is colored with pencils and green and white pearls were added to finish off the card!

Glittery Fairy Card!

I based the next project on the sketch from Pixie Cottage this week and combined it with PaperPlay's challenge to use flowers and sparkles galore! So here's the Pixie Cottage sketch:

Here's what I came up with:

I used an image from PollyCraft (Earth Fairy) and colored her with pencils. Then I used Glossy Accents on her dress, shoes and wings and used Diamond Dust glitter.

I used papers from the pink palette except for the purple image background. I thought the image deserved to "pop" a little from the pinks. I'm not sure it's clear in the pictures but the pale pink rectangle is Gemstone cardstock and is shimmery.
I added this FAB chunky glittered tea roses for my flower requirement and chose these because they are awfully sparkly! I added a few doodles, some rhinestone flowers (left bottom), sparkly rhinestone sprig (fairy hand) and a rhinestone butterfly (sentiment) as finishing touches.

So basically, this card is all about sparkle, flowers and all that girly goodness!
