Chinese New Year Card!

The Sentimental Sundays Challenge this week was to create something to Celebrate the Chinese New Year. I had the perfect digi stamp in mind (sorry I don't know where I got it!) and set off to make this card. I used Creative Memories paper and used a Fiskars border punch on the strips of gold. I used gold ribbon and printed the sentiment off the computer. I used a translation program to get the traditional Chinese translation for "Celebrate".

Dinosaur Birthday Card!

Hello bloggers! I am still very sick but I wanted to get this card uploaded for a few challenges. I hope you don't catch my yucky germs! ;) This dino birthday card is based off the following sketch from The Pixie Cottage. This cute dino birthday image is from the great Dustin Pike and I stamped the Happy Birthday sentiment. The color scheme is from another challenge over at Sentimental Sundays. We were to use Olive and Hunter greens, Poppy and Summer Sun. The papers are Creative Memories and the stars were given to me from my good friend Jenny in the UK. I cut the circles at 1 inch using my Cricut and the George and Basic Shapes cart. I doodled around and used Glossy Accents on the Dino's balloons and party hat. For finishing touches I added bling to the center of each star and used Diamond stickles on the pom pom.

Let it Snow Card!

Have I told you recently that I LOVE Dustin Pike's images?! Here is Dudley the dragon making a snow friend! So cute! I colored the image in with colored pencils and matted it on black for definition. I used Creative Memories PP for the background and stamped the "Let it Snow" sentiment which I then embossed with my new heating tool! I added lace, ribbon and snowflakes to finish it off! Don't forget I have BLOG CANDY HERE!!!

Happy Thanksgiving Card!

Howdy all! I hope you're having a great Saturday and aren't we all loving the long weekend?! I was bestowed an awesome gift by Mr. Dustin Pike (free digis!!!) and needed to put it to good use right away. The Thanksgiving challenge is still going on over at Doodle Dragon Studios Challenge Blog and so here is my second entry. I absolutely LOVE this image. The great thing about this digi is that it came colored already!! LOVE that! Made it easy for me to create this 5.5x5.5inch card. I used my good ol' distressing tool to distress the edges of the background papers and then inked them with Vintage Photo Ink. I also inked the white image square. Some twine and stick on flowers topped off the card!

Thanksgiving Thanks!

Over at the Doodle Dragon Studios Challenge Blog, the theme this week is Thanksgiving. As I don't have a turkey image from Doodle Dragon (it's on its way!) I went for a harvest-y feel. For me Thanksgiving is all about being thankful for the people in your life and the blessings around you. So here is a little creation I made to use as a Thanksgiving Thank You card. I used a Dustin Pike image and colored him with pencils. I distressed all the edges (even the mat circle!) and used Vintage Photo Ink to ink them all (including the white inner circle). I used the same ink to stamp the thank you sentiment. Topped this cutie off with some neutral flowers and a twine bow!

Thank You Turkey Card!

I hope you all had a great weekend! I created this cute little turkey card today. I used some nice vintage papers and my cricut with the Create A Critter cart. I inked the edges of everything in Vintage Photo Ink and created the little Thank You sentiment on the computer.

Encouraging Bunny Card!

This week at Friday Sketchers we were asked to create something using the sketch I based this card on. PaperTake Weekly asked for stitching and Sentimental Sunday asked for Encourgaement/Support. Combine all three together and this is what I came up with using a rubber stamp image colored with pencils. I've been on a monochromatic kick lately, I'm not sure why!
