Two Tim Holtz Embossing Folders

This is a card I made awhile back using two of the Tim Holtz Sizzix embossing folders and a motorcycle image from Digital Two for Tuesday.  The background stamp is in a photopolymer stamp set can be found in my Etsy shop Clearly Vintage.

Ride There

My brother's love motorcycles so I love these old digital stamps from Digital Two for Tuesday.  They make such great cards.  The embossing folder is by Tim Holtz and the background stamp is from Clearly Vintage clear stamps.

I've Been Tagged

There is a great challenge over at Digital Two for Tuesday to use a little image of a girl in a tag. I rarely get a chance to actually photograph my projects anymore. I got a new camera and for some reason my computer is not recognizing the SD card. So I have to do all kinds of complicated things to get the photos off the card. Well yesterday I had a chance to make the tag and photograph it but didn't have the chance to put it on the computer until this morning. So here is my entry to the tag challenge. She certainly is a cutie. The background is a Cuttlebug folder. I lightly sponges the embossing with Distress Ink to empasize the embossing. The sentiment stamp is Studio G and the rose stamp is a Clearly Vintage from a special limited edition set. The buttons are vintage.

Valentines Day Will Be Here Sooner Than You Think

Valentines Day will be here sooner than you think. So I thought I should get working on some more cards. I used two different MS around the page punches on this card. The red cardstock is embossed with a Cuttlebug embossing folder. The images are from Go Make Something. The stamps are from Clearly Vintage Motif set.

Take 2: Father's Day Card

Another Father's Day card. This one is for my father. I used Clearly Vintage Motif stamps for the background. The clock, man and car are Stamper's Anonymous.

Stroll in the Park

The theme at Wednesday Stamper is Fashion. Here is a card I made using stamps by Clearly Vintage. The lace bow is some antique lace I found at a flea market. The white embossed background is a made with a green plastic embossing plate for fimo clay. I misted my paper with water and sent the sandwich through my cuttlebug. I added some distress ink to the surface with a sponge. The red dot is made with a cuttlebug embossing folder.

Dreaming is Free Bookmark

The theme at Art Adventure this week in to make a book mark. Here is one I made recently. I made this for my 8 year old daughter. The stamps are Clearly Vintage and the markers are Copic. What I love about reading is how you create your own reality. Two people can read a book and see it totally differently. Books are fuel for the imagination.

So What's Up With Me

So I am usually a little better at updating my blog. What is up with Cora you may be saying. Those who follow my blog know I have been out of work. Well, I got a job offer this week. It is for a wonderful company that manufactures lighting. I will be selling their products to architects and designers around the country. Exciting news anyday to get a job but in this economy I am thrilled. Perhaps my pick me painting from a few weeks ago worked.

My other good news is that my stamp sets are in manufacturing as we speak. They should be ready for purchase by March 1, 2009. I have been so busy making samples and posting them over at Clearly Vintage. I will be selling the new sets in my Etsy shop. To see all the sneak peeks click here.

The stamps are from my Clearly Vintage line of stamps. I just love these cute images of children from the past.

Keep in Touch

This week at Wednesday Stamper the theme is Telephone. I got to use one of my favorite stamps and old telephone from The Moon Rose. I love to make collages of stamps for background papers. It was so much fun to gather all my stamps to make the theme of the card. The center stamp is one of my stamps from my stamp line Clearly Vintage. I just love these two girls holding hand and thought this would make a great Keep in Touch card. The other stamps are by Paper Impressions(Ink Bottle),Serendipity Stamps(ink spots,postcards) and Ann-ticipations(ink pen). I colored the images and background with Copic markers. The edge detail in a border punch by Martha Stewart.

Girls Keep Out

The theme at Wednesday Stamper is Structure. I added structure to this card by putting Golden's Light Molding Paste on the surface. I painted it with Golden's acrylic paint. The rough surface was hard to stamp on. The lace is some antique lace I picked up at a flea market. The ink is Versafine and the stamps are Clearly Vintage.
