My First Tent Card





Hope your weekend has been a good one. I can't believe 2012 is almost over. It has been a good year for me and my family. Both of my sons married wonderful young women this year. One brought her two children into our family with her and so we have two wonderful loving grandkids and a third grandchild is coming in 2013. Looking forward to another great year.

Seeing Double

How's your weekend going?  Mine is going good so far.  It is cold here so I have not been out too much.  Instead I stayed in and made another card today.  This is the cutest little image from Mo Manning.  Or maybe I should say images.  This stamp is called Two Tutus. 

I thought it was perfect for the Seeing Double challenge at Sweet Stampin'.  I have two images, two ribbons, and two gems.  I used SU Daffodil Delight as my card base and Making Memories English Garden as my DP.  Spellbinder  Rectangle and Fleur De Lis Rectangle die cuts were used.  The sentiment stamp is from Wild Rose Studio and I used circle punches to cut it out with.  The flowers and ribbons are from Michaels and the gems are from my stash.  I also used Crystal Stickles to give a little sparkle to the tutus, wings and wands.  And I used Liquid Pearls in White for the center of the flowers in their hair.

I also used a sketch from Sketch Saturday:

I colored my images with these Copic markers:

Skin - E000, E00, E01, R20
Hair - E31, E33, YR12, YR14, YR31
Tutus - B00000, B000, B21, B23, G12, G14, G20, G21

I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas.  Ours was really nice.  It started on December 22 when my youngest son married a wonderful girl he knew in high school.  They hadn't seen each other in 10 or 11 years when they met at the airport in January waiting for the same flight.  They had a beautiful Christmas wedding.  We had Christmas celebrations from Sunday through Wednesday.  And this included going and celebrating with my 90 year old mom.  It was a wonderful time for all.

 

I decided to make a thank you card today.  Mostly because I wanted to say thank you to all my followers and blogging friends.  Your comments over the past year has really kept me motivated and I love reading them.  So, Thank You.

Christmas Tags

This is my second post today.  This time I am making Christmas tags.  And that is the new challenge over at Twisted Tuesday.  Your creation needs to be a tag or have a tag on it.  THE TWIST ~ What makes you smile. Show us on your creation. It can be a favorite stamp you have and cherish (use it on your tag), your collection of embellishments, stamps, etc, something crafty you received as a gift, etc....just don't forget to tell us and show us what it is that makes you smile when crafting!  This is the last challenge for this year.  The next challenge will start January 1.



 

 

What makes me smile is that all the paper came from my scraps.  I have such a hard time using it up, so this was a great way to use some of it.  These tags I made for my hubby.  He gives his co-workers a bottle of wine for Christmas.  Wine bottle is tagged on picture below.

Recipe:
Cardstock - All papers came from my scraps
Stamp - SU Teeny Tiny Wishes
Die Cuts - MFT Die-namics Christmas Ornaments; Sizzix

Silver and Blue Christmas

Im back again with another Christmas card.  This one did not photograph well, so you can't see how bright and shiney it really looks.   I made this card for the challenge over at Twisted Tuesday.  Today's challenge is a Photo Inspiration challenge.  Here is the inspiration:

The Twist:  Use an eyelet somewhere on your creation.

My inspiration was the colors.  I decided to use the Silver and Blue and make a Christmas card.  All the paper has been in my stash since last Christmas.  The base cardstock is a silvery white with a swirl design.  The next layer is shiny silver cardstock.  I used the Spellbinder Large Scallop Circle to cut out the center.  I then embossed it with a Sizzix embossing folder.  I put blue eyelets on all the corners and on top of the cutout.  I stamped the ornament stamp from Stamping Up Tags til Christmas set on the base cardstock in Brilliant Blue.  I punched it out with the Ornament punch from Stamping Up.  I used blue ribbon from my stash to hang it in the opening.  I also tied the ribbon on the front of the card.

I will be entering this card in these challenges:

Snow Swirled

  

This is one of my favorite stamps to use at Christmas.  This is Stamping Up's Snow Swirled set. I thought it would be perfect to use for my DT card for the new challenge at Twisted Tuesday.  The challenge is to: Stamp Your Image and/or Sentiment on Patterned Paper.  The TWIST: Add the Color Teal or Turquoise Somewhere on Your Project.

 

I stamped the tree in Versa Mark on my patterned paper and then used a fine gold embossing powder to emboss it.  I cut it out with the Spellbinder Oval die cut and layered it on SU Island Indigo cardstock cut out with the Scallop Oval die cut.  I then used turquoise gems from my stash on it.  Here is close up of the tree.



The cardstock on the card is SU and the patterned paper is Bo-Bunny.  I also used SU Very Vanilla CS to emboss with SU Petals-a-Plenty embossing folder.  The ribbon is also from SU.  I used Spellbinders Layered Poinsettia for my flower.  I used the Very Vanilla CS and sprayed the flower with Imagine Crafts Sparkle Sheer Shimmer Spritz.  Then I used another Gem for the flower center.  The sentiment is also from the Snow Swirled set and stamped in Versa Mark, then heat embossed with the fine gold embossing powder.   It is punched out with SU Scallop Oval punch.  I then sponged SU Island Indigo ink around the edges.

Spring Beauty

It is Friday and time for a new challenge at Stamping With the Dragon.  The challenge this week is Anything but a Card.  I decided to make a tag using Spring Beauty from Stamping Dragon Designs. 

Most of the tag is colored with distress inks.  I used a few Copics on her face and hair.  First I sponged distress ink on the tag.  Then I colored my image with copic markers.  Next I sponged distress inks around my image.  It came out darker then my tag, but I used different paper for my image then what the tag is made of.  I cut it out with Spellbinders Nestabilities Label Nine.  I layered it on the same, but I sponged Antique Linen distress ink on it.

The flower is cut out with MFT Layered Rose on paper that I used Antique Linen and Victorian Velvet distress ink to color it with.  The leaves are made with a punch from The Punch Bunch and was colored with Iced Spruce distress ink.  Here is a closeup of the flower.

The little butterflies are from the SU stamp set Papillon Potpourri and they are punched out with the coordinating punch.  I also used the distress inks to color them and then set pearls from my stash in the center.  Here is a closeup of the image.

I also used a swirl of pearls from my stash and lace from my stash.  The lace I colored with Victorian Velvet and Milled Lavender distress ink.

Distress Ink - Antique Linen, Iced Spruce, Milled Lavender, Victorian Velvet

Copic Markers - E00, E01, E11, G12, V01, V05, Y23, Y26
