I’m really excited for Christmas. I love the winter and all the special time we spend together as a family.  I’m looking forward to setting up the Christmas tree and baking treats!

I used this sweet Whimsy Stamp image on my card, colored with my Copics, and used my Spellbinders die to create this ornament.

Thanks for stopping by and taking a look!

I’ve wanted this stamp from Stamping Bella since I first saw it. I finally ordered it from OCS and wanted to show you the first card I made with it.  I love the books and movies, Anne of Green Gables.  I read these as a girl and they are some of my favorite all time books.

I’m always looking for a new book, so what’s the last book you read that you love?

Clearful Bird!!

Okay today's post title is a little bit of a play on words - it should probably be a Cheerful Bird!!  This card front features Impression Obsession's Bird collage image, stamped on clear acetate with Versamark, then embossed with gold embossing enamel.

 

 

The edges were also embossed with gold embossing enamel with the addition of glided fragments and chiffon color fragments.  Using the Crop-a-dile each corner received a red eyelet and gold 20 gauge wire was threaded through the eyelets.  A prima rose was colored with R39 and attached to the card front with a glue dot.

Today is the last day to enter the challenge here at One Crazy Stamper - the theme this month is clear/acetate, and you can win an awesome prize, so hurry and enter to win.



Book Worm!

It's that time of year.....when you just want to curl up in the evenings in your jammies with a good book!
Lora from One Crazy Stampers sent along the Book Worm image from High Hopes Rubber Stamps....so what to do but make a few book markers!  I have a 10 year old bookworm in the house....who usually has pile of books he's in the process of reading.

I colored the images with Copic Markers:  R59, R56, YG67, YG17, YG23, BG75, BG72, YR27, YR23, E49, E47, E44, E43.  Papers are from Basic Grey's Clippings collection.   I distressed the papers with Tim Holtz Walnut Stain Distress Ink.

Haunted House

Hi All,

For this Halloween card, I used this stamp from Kraftin' Kimmie called Haunted House as the main focal  point.  I added Spooktacular from Your Next Stamp and the sentiment was from Got Candy, Trick or Treat set also from Your Next Stamp.

I coloured Spooktacular with C00-No. 00 and then used the colourless blender to lighten it a bit. Both Spooktacular and the Haunted House were fuzzy cut.  The Spooky Tree die was put slightly behind the Haunted House.

Supplies used:

• Stamps:  Haunted House (Kraftin' Kimmie), Spooktacular (Your Next Stamp), Sentiment - Got Candy, Trick or Treat (Your Next Stamp)
• Ink:  Tsukineko Memento Tuxedo Black
• Paper:  X-Press It Blending Cardstock, DP - Mischievous (My Mind's Eye)
• Die:  Spooky Tree (Cherry Lynn Designs)
• Copic Markers:  BV23, BV25, BV29, T1 - No. 1, N2 - No. 2, E42, E43, E47, YR12, YR18, Y17, COO - No.00, Colourless Blender
• Atyou Spica Glitter Pen: 00 - Clear
• Miscellaneous:  Orange Button

There are still a couple more days to enter this month's acetate / clear elements challenge.  All of the above products are available at One Crazy Stamper.  See you Thursday, for a brand new challenge.
