Summer

Good  Morning!  Wednesday just kinda snuck up on me this week with the long weekend (Monday in Canada), the horrible thunderstorms we have been having and my power being off more than it was on.  But I did manage to finish a card to show you today. 

When One Crazy Stamper introduced the Your Next Stamp "Darling Diva" Collection I knew I had to have them all.  Well, I do not have all of them but I do have half.  This one is Summer and how fitting is she for the upcoming season.  And I, of course, added a flower to follow our current monthly challenge.  You still have time to enter; see the pinned post above for details.  And the prize just happens to be a couple of the "Darling Divas".

Supplies Used:  Copic Xpress It Blending Card Stock, Memento Tuxedo Black Ink, Your Next Stamp "Darling Divas" Summer, Copic Markers, Whimsy Stamps "Ticket Notes", Whimsy Ticket Die, Time Holtz "Tea Dye" Distress Ink, Glossy Accents, Gold Stickles

Spring Fairy

Welcome to another Terrific Tuesday for One Crazy Stamper, and since the theme for this months challenge is flowers, I have designed this card with an abundance of bright colorful spring flowers.

I have used Rangers Distress Ink reinkers, and a water brush to color this cute Young Spring Fairy image from Whimsy Stamps. The image was stamped with Versafine Onyx Black ink on water color paper, colored and fussy cut, then placed on some older My Minds Eye designer paper. The border of flowers is the Memory Box Spring border die, which I cut from several colors of cardstock to get the various colors of flowers. The ribbon, charm and sentiment are all from my stash.

Many holds upon happiness

 

Happy Monday, OCS friends!  If you haven’t heard, this month at OCS our challenge theme is FLOWERS. You have until the end of the month to join in and get an entry into our monthly challenge prize drawing!!

I used this gorgeous gray flower from Maya Roads on my card and since I HATE to waste, I made it into a removable barrette. I realize that not every person I make a homemade card is going to hold on to it forever. And the thought of this pretty flower finding it’s way into the garbage makes me cringe, so I gave it another function.

It was really very simple to make the barrette, I just hot glued the flower to a 2 pronged clip that I bought in bulk from my local beauty supply store.  The clips are really inexpensive and convenient to have on hand.

Thanks for stopping by and taking a look!

Supplies: Maya Road flower, MFT butterfly die, Lawn Fawn sentiment, Simple stories paper, corner punch, viva decor pen, Spellbinders heart die

Milestones

Hi All;

I'm sitting on the balcony of our hotel overlooking Little Tub Harbour in Tobermory enjoying the gorgeous weather while having a cup of tea.  The weather is absolutely gorgeous for this first long weekend (Victoria Day) holiday of the summer.

As we have hit a couple of new milestones in our life's journey which is always a roller coaster ride, we decided we would make an escape from the hustle and bustle of home.  Yesterday, was Ian's 65th birthday as well as our 39th wedding anniversay.  The card below is for his birthday.  I used copic markers to colour the image and then prismacolour pencils to add some shading and depth.  The edges of the die cuts were inked with Antique Linen Distress Ink.

Supplies used:

• Stamp:  Water's Edge (Heartfelt Creations), Happy Birthday (my stash)
• Ink: Tsukineko Memento Tuxedo Black, Antique Linen Distress Ink
• Paper:  X-Press It Blending Cardstock; DP - Serenade (Basic Gray)
• Copic Markers:  Y17 - Golden Yellow, YG93 - Grayish Yellow, YG97 - Spanish Olive, E31 Brick Beige, BG49 - Duck Blue, BG11- Moon White, B00 - Frost Blue

Little Boys Are A Gift

Welcome to another Wonderful Wednesday at One Crazy Stamper.  It is once again my turn to show you a project that uses supplies from One Crazy Stamper store.  I am very bad at "collecting" the cards I have made instead of sending them but am proud of myself that the last 5 cards (including today's here) I have given away.  Any one else like me and make more cards than they give?

Today's card I made for a friend who had a baby boy.  I used an adorable image from High Hopes along with the matching sentiment.  Oh, and there is a girl version of this as well.

Supplies Used:  Copic Xpress It Blending Card Stock, Memento Tuxedo Black Ink, Copic Markers, High Hopes Binky Boy Monkey, High Hopes Boys Are A Gift, Echo Park Bundle of Joy Boy , Tim Holtz Tea Dye Distress Ink

Thanks for dropping by today.  We are half way through May but you still have time to enter our flower challenge for the month.  See the pinned post for all the details.  Have a great day and happy crafting,

Hugs,

The Secret Gardener

Tomorrow is moving day for me - so I am scheduling this post a whole month in advance. I am hoping that when this card goes live, spring will have finally arrived here in Alberta, and that the spring flowers are in full bloom. The theme for this months challenge here at One Crazy Stamper is Flowers, and this card fits the bill perfectly.

This gorgeous young lady is Gardener Gayle from Saturated Canary, which I have colored with Copics. The image was then cut with one of the newest Spellbinders dies called Opulent Ovals, then the edges and background were inked with the Antique Linen Distress Ink Pad. The card front has layers of designer paper from Graphic 45's Secret Garden collection, and various Prima flowers. The centers of the lily of the valley flowers all received a bead of Frosted Lace Stickles.

 

Hello Foxy!

I’m excited to show you a new stamp set from Lawn Fawn that OCS carries.  The possibilities with this stamp set is endless, take a look at all the set includes.

I’ve created a little scene with a few of these stamps.  I colored with my copics and fussy cut them, but OCS carries the matching dies to this set also HERE.

So I am wondering, are you a fan of Lawn Fawn stamps or are they not your cup of tea?!

 

Supplies: Lawn Fawn Stamps, October Afternoon papers, Copics, button, sewing, EK success star punch
