Hugs for Aunt Bessie

Hey there, so happy you have stopped by my blog today.

I created this card for a dear aunt of mine.

She lives in a nursing facility and loves to give hugs and loves to get them back. The image is on an action wobbler so it jiggles back and forth when touched.  She loved the card and kept making it jiggle.

Have a wonderful day, until next time,

Rainy Day Suzie

What a perfect card to share with you today on this rainy day here in Cincy.  It is an image from LeAnn's World101 Digital Stamps by the name of  Rainy Day Suzie. LeAnn's world is our sponsor over at Craft-Dee BowZ for this month.

Here is an overall image of the card I created.

I colored the image up with various Copic Markers, then I layered the card onto a 100 pound card base using a cloudy pattern paper.  To smooth the pattern paper down a bit I added a layer of velum which I added the "Blessing" sentiment onto to.  Here is a close up of the image.

Then I added my image and added the bow that I created using my Craft-Dee BowZ tool.  For some final touches I added some glossy accents onto the raindrops and the puddle under her feet.

Here is the single loop bow.

Thanks so much for stopping by my blog today.  I hope you will hop on over to Craft-Dee BowZ and join in on our monthly challenge.  The theme as always is Anything Goes with a Handmade Bow.

Mischievous Leprechaun

Hello, I'm so glad you have decided to stop by my blog today.  

For my card I have created a very simple and easy design using this image titled Mischievous Leprechaun from Fabrika Fantasy.  

First I colored my image with various Copic markers and then I cut it out using a scallop circle die that I layered onto another scalloped circle cut from glitter card stock.  I cut some 4 leaf clovers out, added some sequins and a Wish tag I then added a sentiment and this cute little Mischievous Leprechaun was all finished.

I hope I have inspired you to try something similar.  Fabrika Fantasy is our sponsor for Challenge #102 over at Little Patch of Crafty Friends.  Jump on over to join in on our challenge.

Luck of the Irish

Hello there and I'd like to share an Irish theme card for you titled Luck of the Irish from our sponsor Cute As A Button Digital Stamps.  I am very happy to be the one hosting Challenge #386 over at Crafty Creations Challenges.  Here is my take on this darling little image.

The image was colored with various Copic Markers.  Copics is always my go to and I always enjoy using my copics.  

Oh did I mention that I love St. Patty's day?  I do for a few reasons, 1) my Irish heritage; 2) one of my favorite colors is green and 3) well it's just a little holiday after Valentine's Day.

Thanks so much for stopping by my blog today.  I hope you will hop on over to Crafty Creations Challenges and join in on Challenge #386.  The theme as always is Anything Goes.

Edna With A Cupcake Up on Top

Hello it is my turn to host over at Craft-Dee BowZ during our Monthly Challenge sponsored by Cute As A Button Stamps.

For my hosting project, I used one of my favorite stamp companies, Stampingbella.  This is Edna with a Cupcake Up on Top.  I stamped her on an A2 size card, created a mask, then used a background stamp that says Happy Birthday in several different languages.  I then used some of my Oxide Inks around the edges, colored the image with Copic markers, added a bow on the side and stamped the sentiment that came with the stamp on the inside of the card.

This card was created for a dear friend who happens to have a birthday this weekend.  I do hope she enjoys Edna and much as I and I guess I better stop and pick up a real cupcake to go along with the card.

Here is an image of the card I created just using all dies and of course my handmade bow.

Here is a photo of the little bow that I created with my Craft-Dee BowZ tool..

I hope I have inspired you and I hope that you will join in on all the fun during this challenge.  Our sponsor for the this month is Cute As A Button Digital Stamps.

They have some really adorable images so please pay her a visit, I'm sure you will find something in her shop that you will enjoy.  Up next is Tracey.

Until next time,

Lady Bug and Me

Hello, I'm so glad you have decided to stop by my blog today.  

For my card I have created a very simple and easy design using this darling image from A Day for Daisies titled Lady Bug and Me.  

First I colored my image with various Copic markers and then I created the background with two of my favorite stencils, both from My Favorite Things.  I love using stencils because I can create my own patterned papers with them.  Here I have used two stencils 1) the Sun Ray stencil and 2) a Cloud stencil.

I hope I have inspired you to try this technique and create something similar.  A Day for Daisies is our sponsor for Challenge #99 over at Little Patch of Crafty Friends.  Jump on over to join in on our challenge.  

Here is a closer look at my image.
