Sending Get Well Wishes

I created this little card for a friend that is a little under the weather. The image is from Fred She Said and can be found here.

I colored it with various Copic Markers, cut out the ovals in a piece of very light pink and a piece of white CS. I then added the image to a top fold card base, then placed the next layer with the smaller oval cut and then the pink with the larger oval cut on top of the pink, but added some dimensionals to give it a little something more.

I pulled a stick pin out of my stash and added some flowers, a metal butterfly charm and then the paper butterfly. Added the Simon Says sentiment "Sending" to the card, added some clear dew drops to the card and she was finished.

Thanks for stopping by today. Please remember to hop on over at Lil Patchof Crafty Friends and join in on our challenge #84.  Our awesome sponsor this month is Fred She Said.

Until next time,

Lilly the Dancing Princess

This cute little image is from MoonFlower images. She reminds me of Belle from Beauty and the Beast.

I colored the image with various Copic markers, cut her out with a spellbinders die. Layered some colored CS from my stash, added a few flowers and some Nuevo Crystal Drops. I didn't have just the right sentiment so this card can is a blank card and can be used as a Thinking of You, Get Well or just whatever you want it to be.

Thanks for stopping by today. Please come on over and join in on all the fun over at Crafty Creations Challenges for Challenge #368. Our sponsor this month is MoonFlower Images.

"Just for You"

Hi there and it is my turn to host our challenge over at Craft-Dee BowZ. Please go on over and enter June challenge. Our sponsor this month is Bugaboo.

For my hosting project, I created a card that resembled a wrapped gift. I wanted to use this Stamping Bella Butterfly stamp. I stamped the image onto Copic friendly paper and colored her with various Copic markers. Then I stamped it the second time and colored only the wings. After cutting the image out and then just cutting the wings out of the second stamped image, I adhered the separate wings onto the top of the first image.

I had this idea in my head that I wanted to place the image onto a big bow. I pulled out my Craft-Dee BowZ tool and created a double loop bow, then created a triple loop bow. I then created a gradient piece of card stock using my Distress Oxide inks in Wilted Violet, Picked Raspberry and Worn Lipstick. I placed some ribbon as if to appear it was wrapped around a present. Then I found the Just for You sentiment from My Favorite Things in my stash. Stamped it with Versamark ink, embossed it with white embossing powder and used the Worn Lipstick to add color to the tag.

I added the double loop bow onto the inked 6x6 and then placed the triple loop bow on top of the double. I decided to add some sequins and beads to the bow, added the tag and last but not least added my image and my "present card" was finished.

Thanks for stopping by today. I hope that I have inspired you. We really look forward in you stopping over at Craft-Dee BowZ and join in on this months challenge. As always our theme is Anything Goes with a Handmade Bow. While you are there if you have not already picked up you Craft-Dee BowZ tool, do so, you won't regret it.

Until next time,

From the Whole Herd

Happy Birthday from the Whole Herd. Just the perfect birthday card from a bunch or people or a working department right?

I love this little image from Bugaboo, who just happens to be our June sponsor over at
Craft-Dee BowZ. I mean who doesn't love a bunch of farm animals stacked up on each
other's back.

This image reminds me of my Grandparent's farm when I was little, they had cows,
chickens, ducks and bunnies, the only thing lacking was the pigs. My Grandpa just didn't
deal with pigs, but a lot of other relatives who were farmers did.

I colored the image with my Copic markers.  I love my Copics so much I just can't
get enough of them,  They blend so beautifully. Once I finished coloring the image I
layered it up with some different patterned papers from my stash.

I created a triple loop bow with my Craft-Dee BowZ bow tool. Have I mentioned before
how awesome this tool is. It makes making the perfect bow such a breeze. You can pick up
your very own bow maker here.

I hope you will hop on over to Craft-Dee BowZ and join in our June Anything Goes with
a Handmade Bow Challenge. Oh and be sure to visit our sponsor Bugaboo Stamps, she
has some really darling digital images to choose from.

Thanks for taking time out of your busy day to stop by.

Surprise Gifts

I bring to you today this card I created using an image Surprise Gifts from our sponsor Polka Doodles for Challenge #82 over at Lil Patch of Crafty Friends challenge blog.

After printing and coloring the image with various Copic markers, I placed the image on a piece of pink 5 3/4 x 5 3/4 square card stock.

I then placed the pink onto a 6 x 6 top fold card base.  I added some Wild Orchard Crafts flowers, a 3D paper butterfly, Nuvo drops and a sentiment from Lawn Fawn.

Head on over to Lil Patch of Crafty Friends and join in on our current challenge #82.  We can't wait to see what you have to share with us.

Under the Sea

Hello there and thanks for joining me today.  I have an ocean themed birthday card to share with you.  The stamp set is from Bugaboo and it's title is Under the Sea Birthday Set.

Bugaboo just happens to be our sponsor over at Crafty Creations Challenges for Challenge #366.

I wanted to create an under water scene so I started with a piece of 6x6 Bristol Smooth CS.  Inked it with Tim Holtz Distress Oxide inks in Black Soot, Faded Jeans and Peacock Feathers in order from the bottom up.  Then I used the Ocean Stencil set from Honey Bee Stamps to create the sun rays and and Coral at the bottom of the ocean floor.  The rays were created using a white pigment ink, then I used some of the peacock feathers over the entire piece to blend the white out a little.  Trimmed the 6x6 down to so that there was an 1/8" white border around the ocean piece when placed onto a top fold 6x6 white card base.

I then colored the images with my copic markers in various colors, cut them out and placed them on the ocean piece and stamped a birthday sentiment.

I really enjoyed making this card and I hope you enjoyed the card as well.

Again I thank you for stopping by and I really hope you hop on over to the Crafty Creations Challenges and join in the challenge.  Bugaboo has so many darling images to choose from, so please feel free to visit their site.  We look forward in seeing what you have to share with us.

My Heart Belongs to You

Hello and I bring to you today this cute little rubber stamp from La-La Land Crafts.  It is titled My Heart Belongs to You in the Molli collection.

After stamping her onto my Neenah Solar White 80# card stock, I colored her with my Copic markers in various shades of purples, pinks and my usual skin tones.

Then I created one of the best 3 loop bows I've ever created.  Of course it was easy peasy with my Craft-Dee BowZ tool from Craft-Dee BowZ.

You can pick up your own bow tool here.

Thanks for stopping by today, I hope you have enjoyed my card and that I was able to inspire you.  Please remember to go over to the Craft-Dee BowZ challenge and join in on the fun.  We can't wait to see your creations.

Hugs,

Kathy
