I Love You

February is the month of Valentine's Day and Love.  Not just to your sweetheart but to all those you love.  My Mom always made Valentine's Day special to not just my dad, but to my brother and I. She was always showing her love to all the special people in her life.  So I guess it rubbed off on me, because I always made sure my children and nieces, now my great nieces and great nephews something special for Valentine's Day, whether it is a card a little prize or a special cookie for my dogs.  Yes they get a valentine too,

For my Craft-Dee BowZ February challenge, I chose this cut I Love You image from this month's sponsor Bugaboo.  It just reminded me of my Mom for some reason and I knew I wanted to create a special card.

I colored my image using my Copic markers.

Dies and ribbon are from my stash.  I made a very simple bow with my Craft-Dee BowZ tool to show you that you can make any kind of bow from big luscious bows that our really awesome Design Team Members make to something very simple but cute too.

Once I finished coloring the image I added some details with my white gel pen and black glaze pen, wink of stella and glossy accents.

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you have enjoyed this card because I sure enjoyed coloring the image and making this card with it.

Ben the Penguin

This is Ben the Penguin from Mo's Digital Pencil and I have used this darling penguin to create my card for you today plus it is my turn to post for Craft-Dee BowZ this month.  

I decided on a Clean and Simple card for this image and used my Copics to color him up.  The pattern papers I have used are from my stash.  

My card base is a piece of Kraft CS cut to 12" x 6" and scored at 6".  The red piece is cut to 5.75" square, the green pine tree piece is cut to 4.75" square and the piece the penguin was colored on was cut with a die.  I popped the colored and the sentiment piece up on foam tape, placed it on the card.

My bow was made using the Craft-Dee BowZ tool, you can purchase one here.  

I hope I have inspired you today and you will hop on over to join in for this month's challenge at Craft-Dee BowZ.  Our theme as always is Anything Goes with a Handmade Bow.  

Hugs,

Winter Fox

Hi there I have a Craft-Dee BowZ Design Team card to share with you today.  The image is from Cute As a Button Stamps, called Winter Fox.  This darling little girls coat reminds me of a coat my daughter had when she was five.  However hers was red and not pink.  I believe I will make her a card and color the coat in red.

The papers I used were from a 12x12 paper pack that I had purchased a year ago to make photo albums.  I colored the image with my go color medium, "Copics".  I love my copics.

I added some little flecks of Stampendous Chunky Embossing flakes in white and heated them from the back side of the colored image so they would melt from the back and not fly away.

Different papers were layered together before adding the colored layer.  Then added some snow flakes cut from the small Lawn Fawn snowflake dies to embellish.  Added a pink bow that I made with my Craft-Dee BowZ tool.  Bows have never been so easily made and I never waste any ribbon using the bow tool.  You can pick your very own Craft-Dee BowZ tool up here.

Please remember to come join us over at Craft-Dee BowZ for our monthly challenge.  As always our theme is Anything Goes with a Handmade Bow.  We look forward in you joining in on our challenge and can't wait to see what you have created.

See you next time.

Hugs,

An Owl's Halloween

Hi there, Kathy here and it's my Tuesday to share a card with you.  For my card, I decided on another Halloween image.  This one is from Whipper Snapper Stamps.  It is called Broomstick Owls.  I have always loved all the owl stamps out there but have never bought any of them.  When I seen these cute little owls I could not resist.

I stamped the image and colored it up with my Copics.  I then cut it out and adhered it to a circle that I cut using a circle die.  I stamped the sentiment, which is from My Favorite Things on another circle die cut.  

I used a white side fold card base, put a green layer and then layered with a yellow and purple piece that I ran through an embossing folder from Taylored  Expressions.  The bats are made using a die from My Favorite Things.

I used the Craft-Dee BowZ tool kit to make my bow.  I love how this bow turned out.  I think it is the best bow I have made so far and it was so easy with the bow maker.

I hope I have inspired you and we look forward in having you join us with our monthly Anything Goes with a Handmade Bow Challenge over at Craft-Dee BowZ.  We can't wait to see what you create.

Thanks for stopping by,
Kathy

Halloween Kitty

I have a card to share with you today for the Craft-Dee BowZ October Anything Goes Challenge.  Our sponsor this month is Bugaboo.

Of course for the month of October I had to create a Halloween card.  The image I used was created using the Halloween Kitty image. There's just something about Halloween that Screams Black Kitties.

 

I colored my image using various Copic markers and fussy cut it out. The sentiment and lamp post are both from a retired Halloween Set from My Favorite Things.

The Card Stock and ribbon is from my stash.  

The bow was made using the Craft-Dee BowZ bow tool.  If you haven't picked up your bow maker, go on over and grab one.  You will never regret your purchase.  And remember to hop on over to the Craft-Dee BowZ blog and enter a card for our Anything Goes with a Handmade bow challenge this month.

Thanks for stopping by.  I do hope I have inspired you today.  If you have never looked at any of the Bugaboo images be sure to check them out.  They have some really nice images.

Hugs
Kathy
