Tim Hotlz - Halloween Card

Hey Crafty Friends!

I hope you are all doing good.  I have been in the mood for Halloween lately.  I have decorations and even created a banner!  In the same burst of energy - I made this ghostly Halloween card :

For this card I used several die sets from Tim Holtz: Frightful Things, Ghost Town, and Bat Crazy.

I made the clouds using the My Favorite Things Cloud Stencil and White Pigment Ink.  It stands out very well on the Desert Storm Card-stock.

I used various Distress Oxide Inks to create the "glow" behind the windows.  On the windows themselves I covered them with Glossy Accents.

I cut out the bats from some black glitter card-stock. Lastly I added white gel pen to various areas of the houses and the trees to make them appear more dimensional.

My Favorite Things - Hello Little One

Hi Everyone!

Today I have a CAS (clean and simple) card to share with you.  I have a coworker who is having a baby girl so I made her a card last night.  :)  This is for day 14 of the Daily Marker 30 Day challenge.

This card was very simple and quick to pull together.  I stamped the little stork then stamped a mask for him.  I then used Tumbled Glass distress Oxide Ink and the MFT Clouds stencil to create the background.  I then colored him up with copic markers and added some shimmer on the little bag and some details with my white gel pen.

Thank you for stopping by!

My Favorite Things - Chinese Take Out & Good Fortune

Hi Friends,

I made a card for a co-worker who is having a birthday soon.  I wanted to use the MFT die Chinese Take Out and Good Fortune stamp set. I just bought this die - it is retired and thought it was super cute.

I used the Monstera Leaf Cover Up for a background and used some distress oxide ink to give it some nice green color.  I popped that up with foam tape.  I then die cut the take out container and the little handle out of some silver heavy weight cardstock.  I cut the chop sticks out of some "wood" adhesive paper - not sure if I like this stuff - lol.  It could be that the dies are very skinny - idk.  I die cut the fortune cookie and sponged the edges with distress ink in Tea Dye to give is some dimension.

This card is for the Daily Marker 30 Day Challenge.  

Thank you for stopping by!

My Favorite Things - Purrfect Friends

Hey Friends,

I have a soft sweet card to share with you all today using the Purrfect Friends stamps set from My Favorite Things.  I did something very different for me on this card - I used colored pencils!  I have both Prisma Pencils and Polychromos Pencils and I rarely use either.  Well I went out of my comfort zone here.  :)

I think I definitely need to practice with these but I do like how this card came out.  I used this collage die from MFT and made a little scene with the kitties!

This card is for Day 10 of the Daily Marker 30 Day challenge.

Thanks for looking!

Newton's Nook - Stitched Onesie

Hi!

Today I have a card using a stamp set that I have has in my stash for a little while - it's the Stitched Onesie from Newton's Nook.  Its day 6 for The Daily Marker 30 Day Challenge.

These are so darn cute!  I used the coordinating die to cut them out.  I tell you it added the cutest stitched lines to the stamped images!  I colored these with my copic markers.

I made the two cards above with the die cute onesies.  I made an easy background using Distress Oxide inks and my blending brushes.  I added some details with the string clothesline and the sequins. 

Thanks for stopping by!

avery Elle - Phonomenal

Hi Everyone!

I hope you guys had a good work week and are enjoying your weekend!  I have a card I made last weekend that I wanted to share on my blog.  I used the Phonomenal Stamp set from Avery Elle.  I love this adorable set! The little bowls of pho are so stinkin' cute!  Personally I have tried pho and I don't really like it - I think it's the anise or ginger in it that I don't like - but I love all stamps that look like little bowls of soup! lol.

I paper pieced the little blue polka dotted edge of the bowl and I used the coordinating dies to cut out the images.  I colored these up with my Zig Clean Color markers but I did not do the "no line" coloring on these.  I used a stencil to create the leaf background with my Oxide Ink and Life Changing blender brushes. 

Thank you for stopping by!

My Favorite Things - Oh My Gostrich

Hi Everybody,

Today I am sharing a few cards I made using the new Oh My Gostrich stamp set from MFT!  When I saw these little guys and read the fun sentiments I HAD to get this set!!!!!

My first card is a "slimline" card which means it is long and narrow and fits in a standard number 9 office type envelope.  :)  I added lots of layers to the "sand" that my little birds are standing on.  I used my oxides to make an ombre cloud scene and added some shimmer to the die cut foliage.  <3 how this turned out!  I used some white gel pen on all of the birds to add some wispy details.

My next card was again made using oxides for the scene and I used some cute clouds from Lil Inker. 

My last card again had the little ostriches on the sand with some puffy clouds behind them.  I used some white gel pen to add detail on all of the birds and the foliage on this card.

Hope you enjoyed these little cuties!

Mama Elephant - Honey Bunny

Hi Everyone -

I hope your week is moving along smoothly.  Three more days to go till the weekend!  :)  Today I have a sweet card to share using the Mama Elephant Honey Bunny stamp set. 

I colored these two cuties with my copic markers and fussy cut them out.  I used a stencil and distress oxide inks to create the sky background.  For the little hill that they are sitting on I just used a scrap piece of paper and cut out a hill shape and used my distress oxides and the Picket Fence Life Changing Blending Brushes to make the hill and sky appear.  :)

Today I'm sharing an adorable little Valentines Day card featuring the Friendly Fox die from My Favorite Things.  I think this is my first and favorite little animal die cut!

I cut him out using some burnt orange cardstock from my stash and them distressing the edges with Vintage Photo distress ink.  I used a swirl stencil from my stash for the background.  I stenciled it on using the Picket Fence Life Changing Blending Brushes.  Easy peasy!

Darcie - Mocha Me Crazy & Waffle Lot

Hi Everyone,  

I hope you had a fabulous weekend!  I made the cards below a few days ago and I wanted to share it here with you.  I used the Darcie - Mocha Me Crazy & Waffle Lot stamp set for these cards.  I don't like coffee, but I do love how it smells!  :)  These stamps are so adorable!  

I colored the images with my copic markers and used a stencil and my oxides to create the polka dot background.

The die cut that the images are placed on is from MFT.

The card above is using the Darcie Waffle Lot stamps set.  I just love everything about these images!  I again used my distress oxide ink and a stencil to create the background.  I also used the Picket Fence Life Changing Blending Brushes on these cards.  They really do make a world of difference for ink blending in my opinion.  They are my go to when I reach for my oxides!

I hope you enjoyed the cards!  Thanks for stopping by!
