Thinking of You...

Hello and Happy Friday - wow what a week, is it just me or when it is a short work week it is soooooooo exhausting??!!  Well I for one am glad this week is over.

All this month I will be showcasing the Taylored Expressions Stamp set called Make It Amazing!  With the month of August being an inspirational month at OCS, for me this stamp set got me inspired!  Normally you see me ALWAYS using mainly Copics on ALL my projects but this stamp set got me back to stamping basics and made me use my creative brain a little extra lol.

 

Today I have a Sympathy card to share with you that I made for a co-worker that lost her Dad this past weekend.....

Here is a look at the inside of the card....

Guardian Angel

What a sweet image I have to share today, I thought this one would look perfect in grayscale and on an all white card.  To create this I used a medley of clear jewels, glitter, die cuts and embossing folders also in all white.

 I started off making all my die cuts and embossed papers, then glittered the flower dies, used distress paint on some dies, added embossing paste on the fancy tag die and used frantage embossing power on the butterflies. My card has as many as three layers done with pop dots in some areas, and in person is quiet lovely.

I hope you all like it and have a wonderful day!

Big Wish

 

Hello and glad you stopped by to see what I am inspiring you to do today.  Craft, get creative and have some fun.  Our design team here at One Crazy Stamper this month is doing just that.  No challenge this month, but another wonderful Inspirational month.  So please check out the OCS team and see what we are sharing.

 

We love hearing from you also, so drop us a comment or two. My card today I am using the very fun Penny Black - Good Day stamp.  I popped up the clouds, they are a Whimsy Stamps Die, and then I added some twine, colored my little friend using Copic Markers.  I cut the image out using Spellbinders and then popped him up also.  I used the great paper pack from Bo-Bunny Lemonade Stand.

 Again thanks for stopping by, have a great day!

Pedal Pushers Set

Hello everyone!  I am a big fan of the Art Impressions Girlfriends stamps... so I'm sharing a card made with Pedal Pushers today.  I went with some pretty, girly colours:

This is a large image!  So I made a large card: 5" x 6 1/2".  I popped up my image on pop dots so that I could tie twine behind it, and set it on an angle to show off the little piece of grey paper behind them that I zigzagged in a couple of places.

I have a birthday card that I made for a lovely(diva) friend of mine, I used Victoria by YNS and coloured with my copic markers.

Happy Birthday Bridge

Welcome back friends, wow almost the end of July crazy how this summer is flying by.  I do hope you are enjoy your time with family friends.  The weather has been much nicer to us this month and we sure appreciate it.  As our Winter was so very long, and the spring wasn't that great.  But on the bright side it is a wonderful day today, and that is all that counts. 

 

My card today is the last one for July's Inspiration at One Crazy Stamper, I am showcasing another way you can use your dies.  If you remember the first post this month I used the Memory Box bridge die I added sparkle and now today, using it again.  This time I added some versa mark and some white embossing powder, you can't really see it in the photos, but it is there, and then adding some flowers and more dies from spellbinders to finish my card off.  I like how you can make these dies all work together and in array of ways.  So pop on over to Lora's store she has this Memory Box bridge die, and tons of others.  I do hope you get a chance to take in all the Inspirational projects the design team has showcased for you this month, share the love, as we really appreciate a comment or two. Till next time I hope you get crafty!
