My Favorite Holiday Card from Last Year

This was my favorite holiday card from last year. It was so simple. It was accented with Stickles on the wings. Each card only took a few minutes to assemble. I usually make over 200 hundred cards for friends and family. I probably design several dozen cards. I often get bored making the same one over and over but this one was so cute I made 50. Oh, to think of another easy but great idea for this year.

Steve's Birthday Card

Next week is my one of my big brother's birthday. I made this card for him using this week's Digital Two for Tuesday images as I won't see him. I copied the ethyl image multiple times and printed it on blue paper to create the background. The key charm and inks are by Tim Holtz. The dots are a stamp by Studio 490.

Tag and Card for Christmas

I finally got a sunny day to photograph my projects from last week. A few weeks ago I went to this awesome stamp show in Rhinebeck, NY and picked up lots of Studio 490 and Darcies stamps. Here are a Christmas tag and card I made with my new stamps.

Car

So last weekend I went to a stamp festival. I was like a kid in a candy store. I bought a ton of stamps from Darcie's, Starving Artists and Stamper's Anonomous/ Studion490. This is a card I made for my big brother. He is turning 50 next month. Where does the time go? I used another of my new cuttlebug embossing folders on this one. The background stamps are Studio 490.

Fall Treats

So fall is definitely in the air. It was quite nippy last night. I can use my down comforter again. Yeah!! This is a gift bag I made using a pattern and stamps from Darcies. Some more of the goodies from last weeks stamp show. I stamped the tissue paper sticking out of the top and the homemade bag with stamps from Studio 490.

Play Ball

Here is a birthday card I made for my nephew using one of the images from Digital Two for Tuesday this week. The background stamp is a Studio 490 by Stamper's Anonymous and the embossed background was done with 2 cuttlebug folders on Black Magic paper.

Adore Album

This is a hanging album I made from a kit. I love all the little buttons and the patterned paper.

Playing in the Sand

Here is my entry for the Digital Two for Tuesday challenge this week. I just love this little girl in the sand. I colored her with Copic markers. I am fortunate that I have not had any issues with my ink running from the Copics. My printer/scanner is a Canon. The background embossing was done with two different Cuttlebug embossing folders. The charm is by Junkitz. I made the sand by using 2 colors of Distress Stickles;Distress Straw and Antique Linen. The two seashells my daughter found at the beach in Ocean City, MD last week.

Owl and Bird Card

Here is my entry for the Digital Two for Tuesday challenge this week. I used Copic markers to color the image. I also used antique buttons and lace as accents. The greeting is from my Clearly Vintage stamps bonus set.

Two For Tuesday Bathing Beauty of Summer

Here is my project for Digital Two for Tuesday this week. I painted a masonite panel with Golden's acrylic paint, distressed and stamped with Ranger Distress ink and then added an old book page to the bottom of the piece. I them covered it all with Golden's Gel Medium. The scrapbook pieces are by EK Success. The bullseye bottle cap is from a beer bottle. I colored the Two Tuesday image with Copics and punched it with the swiss cheese border punch from EK.

Take a Ride

I made this for Wednesday Stamper. The theme is take a ride.

Two For Tuesday Bathing Beauty

Well I just got my new Loopy border punch set by Martha Stewart so I had to use them when I made a project for Two For Tuesday. The image is of course one of the digital images from Two for Tuesday and the background stamps are from Clearly Vintage. They are from the set Motif. I inked the edges with distress ink.

Halloween in July/ New Martha Stewart Punches

So I went to Michael's today armed with 50% off coupons and found some new Martha Stewart punches. They were fall holiday themed and my favorites were the Countinuous Edge System punches. You buy a border punch and a corner punch that coordinate. They work great. I found a great tutorial on Indigo Inklings as the instructions on the label were not very good. Here is an invitation I created using the spider web punches. The stamps are Martha Stewart and Studio G. I also bought the loop punches as well. So hard to resist.

ATC of A Boy and His Dog

The theme this week at Theme Thursday is ATC. This ATC was done on glossy paper for a tone on tone effect. Then I added a little distress ink to the background to color. I love the effect.

Post Child

Stamps are by Aunt Amy's and Invoke. The inks are Distress Inks by Ranger. I love this color combination.
