Merry Chris Moose

I made this card before Christmas, but so much going on, I didn't get it posted. I hope I can do better in 2011 - but no promises at this point.

The stamp used on this card is Chris Moose from Stampington. The holly punch is M.S. and the star is a Rusty Tin-Tiques Star.

Happy New Year. I hope you'll visit again soon.

Season's Greetings 2010!

I made this card a couple of weeks ago - but I'm just getting around to photographing it & uploading it today. I've promised myself that I will spend some time each day on this year's Christmas cards. I need to put on some of those great Christmas movies and some Christmas music and get in the mood. It just doesn't seem to be happening this year. This is my first attempt at paper piecing (Rodney). I'm sure I'll get better as I go along!

What's On Your Workdesk Wednesday - #1

Okay, I admit it, I'm hopeless! I can clear off my desk, and within a VERY short period of time, my desk is swamped with stash that I'm using and my clear area for working is down to the size of a postage stamp! I hold on to every little scrap of paper, string, ribbon - all that ephemera that is left over from a project. I'm trying to figure out a way to deal with that stuff. Any ideas?

I'm back to clearing this out-of-control surface so that I can get back to creating! Hopefully, I'll have an actual card to post before too long.

Gobble Gobble

I've had such a hard time getting my act together lately. So much to do, so little time. I finally created two cards to upload.

The first one is this cute turkey from Great Impressions. He looks so dapper & so happy (and unaware of what could be in store - unless the President gives him a last minute reprieve, eh?). He was fun to color - and I used lots of glitter.

Here's my second Fall card:

Preview of what's in store for us this winter. First snow fall here at the beach:

Thanks for visiting - please come back soon.

Asian Inspiration

Today's card uses another beautiful example of Yuzen-shi paper. Beneath the focal paper is a black cs layer over a gold cs layer, which is mounted on a white card base. I attached a round "woodsie" that I covered with black paint and stamped an image with gold pigment ink and embossed with clear embossing powder. The flower center dots were created with a gold Pilot marker. I added a black gem. The sentiment is computer generated.

Thanks for visiting my blog. Please come again soon.

Tie a Knot

When using these beautiful silk-screened papers, I like to keep the design simple, making the speciality paper the star. I painted the wooden stick matte black and tightly wound some gold wire around it.  The Mizuhiki cord is tied into a Clamshell Knot (which I learned how to do from this book).

Here's a close-up photo of the Clamshell Knot:

Thanks for visiting my blog. Hope you come back often.

Asian Speciality Paper Collage Card

These papers are all beautiful in their own right. I love trying to use even the smallest scraps, along with wire scraps, various beads and beads that I've made with Fimo clay to create a mini-collage.

Thanks for visiting. I hope you'll come back again.

Maple Leaves Asian Paper

I have a collection of beautiful Asian papers—mostly Yuzen-shi (Silk-Screened Paper)—that I've purchased over the past fourteen years. These papers speak to me ("buy me, buy me" - ha, ha). I'm going to be creating some cards over the next two weeks using these gorgeous papers that I've purchased from Washi Accents and Paper Zone. Here is the first:

Thanks for visiting my blog. I hope you'll stop by again.

Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween Everyone!  It's a dark & spooky night. Hope you have lots of goblins & ghouls knocking at your door.

Witching You . . .

Here's another Mo's Digital stamp, Halloween Witch. I decided to go "purple" with her hat & witchy gown. I think the sparkle shows up in the photo. And I love the MS broken fence edge punch (pretty obvious since I think I used it on each & every Halloween card I made this year)!

And this is a photo of the inside:

A Spooktacular Halloween

My Fed-X package from JoAnn.com arrived today. I got some really fun stuff and EVERYTHING was on sale. I like! And so much fun to unpack and start playing with everything. This card uses my new Martha Stewart "goo" edge punch, my new "spooky" Robin's Nest Dew Drops, and (inside) my new Tim Holtz/Sizzix Texture Fades Embossing Folder, Cracked.

Here's the inside (Can't get too many MS edge punches going here, eh?)

I LOVE Halloween! 2010 Part 3

I spent yesterday putting out all my Halloween decorations. So many decorations - so little space!  Every year my husband walks around looking at the decorations after I set them out saying, "Is this new?  I don't remember this one." I gotta tell ya, my Halloween decorations and me are OLD friends. We go way back.  Well, a few of them I rescued from garage sales or second-hand stores. But I love them all the same. Anyway, here's my next Halloween card:

"Punch it . . . Broomzelda!" is by Sandi Gore Evans from Uptown Rubber Stamps. I stamped it using black pigment ink and clear embossing powder and painted the image with Radiant Pearls. I rounded the corners of the layering papers and the images, added a strip of Halloween Ribbon (Michaels) and some orange rhinestones. The sentiment stamp is from Northwoods Rubber Stamps and I popped it up on some pop dots. The flower is handmade (by me) using some double-sided, crinkled Gilded Papiers that I got on sale from Loose Ends. I love this paper. I sponged black dye ink on the edges of the main image and the sentiment. Additional tools:  Fiskars paper cutter; (Fiskars), Scor-pal; (Scor-Pal), Glue Glider Pro, (Glue Glider Pro).

That's it for today. Thanks for stopping by - have a great day!

I LOVE Halloween! 2010 Part 2

Crows are one of my favorite birds (blackbirds? ravens? - I'll have to Google them to see "witch is witch" Cackle, Cackle). This is one of my favorite "not so cute" Halloween stamps.

I LOVE Halloween! 2010 Part 1

Well, I've finally got all of my Halloween boxes out and I'm busy trying to find a place for everything. Such fun! I LOVE HALLOWEEN (and not just because it gives me such a valid excuse to buy CANDY!). I love all the little characters and creepy-crawlies who look so cute. Fun, fun, fun.

I'mmmmm BACK!

Wow! That was a long absence. So much to do, so little time. I've really missed posting to my blog. Hopefully I can now get back on track.  My daughter turned 40 in September so I made a 40th Birthday Mini-Album. I sent an email to her friends (and posted a request on her Facebook) asking them to tell me how long they've known her, how they met, and to tell "a little story" as well as send her a birthday greeting. I created pockets in the mini-album and after printing out each response and decorating the page, I inserted them in the pockets. The final step will be including the pictures from her party. Here's the cover of the mini-album:

And here are a few pictures of the inside pages:



Ghosts of Halloweens Past Part II

Two more Halloween cards from Halloweens Past. On the first card, I stamped Dressed to Scare (Penny Black) and painted with Radiant Pearls. The image was layered over a black layer. A rectangle of DP was layered over a black layer over a white card base. I adhered 3 gelly stickers to the card.

I stamped Halloween Pumpkin Stack (Stampaviews) on white cs and painted with Radiant Pearls. The image was layered over black cs, layered at an angle to DP, layered over black cs and finally adhered to a white cardbase. A ghost was punched from white Fun Foam and a black cat from velvet paper. Brads were attached with colored plastic squares.

Ghosts of Halloweens Past Part I

I'm pulling out some Halloween cards from past years as I get ready to make this year's cards. I LOVE HALLOWEEN! Buying Halloween stamps, paper & ephemera; making and sending out Halloween cards; little kids running around so excited in their Halloween costumes - it's absolutely my favorite holiday. I also enjoy revisiting my old cards saved in my Halloween stash box.  Here is my very first Halloween card ever:

I stamped Small Square Background Edge (Hero Arts) six times on a white cs rectangle. I stamped the bats, cat & haunted house from the Halloween Stencil Stamp set (Hero Arts) on Golden Yellow Eloquent LaserKote SP and cut all three into odd shapes and adhered to 3 of the squares. I cut 3 squares from orange corrugated, black wavy corrugated and black velvet SP. Stickers were adhered to the squares. After wrapping an orange piece of wire around a wire spiral tool (no name on this cool tool) I straightened it out half way, added 3 seed beads, curled the ends and adhered it to the black velvet square (along with sticker eyes). The white rectangle was layered to a black rectangle and orange and black metalic threads (Sulky) were wrapped at right angles repeatedly around the layered rectangles. I tied an orange bow and wrapped spiraled black wire around the bow and attached everything to the white card base.

On the second card I used a stamp from The Peddler's Pack Stampworks stamped on vellum, painted with Radiant Pearls with a coating of glitter. The sentiment was computer generated, the dash-dot border was hand-drawn. The vellum was backed with a black layer, and then adhered to a deckle-edge cut rectangle of DP, layered to a black panel layered to an orange cardbase with a dash-dot-equals hand drawn border (black pen). I added a ghost, pumpkin and spider punch and tied a rafia bow to the corner of the main image layer.

Heard You Caught A Bug!

YAY! It's 9pm on Monday night - in my world it's "Lie To Me" time. Happy feet, happy feet running around looking for the remote control.

So quickly I will post today's card. The main stamp Caught A Bug is from Whipper Snapper Designs. I LOVE their stamps, but I disagree with their position as an Angel Company, so I don't own very many. Which makes me sad because their stamps are SOOOOO cute, and they are running a promotion right now with the CUTEST *free* halloween stamp (I'm a little over the top when it comes to Halloween stamps) with any purchase over $50. Hmmm, it's not my birthday, it's not Christmas, it's not Mother's Day - so I'm outta luck right now. Wait! It is my anniversary on Friday. 38 YEARS! Maybe I could work something out . . . but I digress. Here's today's card:

Two Simple Cards

It's Sunday night and I've been on the go all day. These are two cards that I made a while back. I'm going to post them without any description right now - but I'll come back and fix that tomorrow.

It's Your Day Lizzy Ladybug . . .

Sweet, sweet little lady bug. As usual, I have a lot of ladybug stamps - all mostly cute and SMALL. Not this one from Whipper Snapper Designs! And she's not shy as she wishes the recipient a Happy Birthday!

I stamped the lady bug with black pigment ink, embossed with clear emb. powder and heat set. I painted her with a combination of Radiant Pearls and Tombo markers. I applied drops of Glossy Accents to the black areas. I used Classic Ovals and Classic Scalloped ovals Nesties on the main image and the backing layer. The sentiment was computer generated and I cut the ladybug from a second image and paper pieced over the original ladybug and covered her black dots with Glossy Accents. The sentiment was die cut using Circle & scalloped circle Nesties which I then paper pierced. I cut the DP (?) and layered it over a red layer cut with a Long Scalloped Rectangle Nestie. Everything was adhered to a white card base. I also added three red gems.

Stamps: Lizzy Ladybug (Whipper Snapper Designs)

Paper: DP: (?), CS: white, red
Ink: Black pigment ink (Colorbox)
Accessories: clear embossing powder, heat tool (Uchido), markers (Tombo), (Glossy Accents), computer-generated greeting, Spellbinders Oval & Scalloped Oval, Circle & Scalloped Circle (Nestabilities), 3 red gemstones, Fiskars paper cutter; (Fiskars), Scor-pal; (Scor-Pal), Glue Glider Pro, (Glue Glider Pro)
Size: 4-1/4 x 5 1/2 (A2)

That's a LOT of Salmon!

I promised to post a picture of two of the King (Chinook if you're in Canada) salmon (one day's limit) that my husband caught on his recent fishing trip with his buddy Phil. They do a yearly fishing trip to Langara Island on Oak Bay Marine Group's Charlotte Princess. These two salmon weighed 34 lbs & 29 lbs. Dick is on the right - looking very happy! Maybe that's because this was their second trip this year!

Ya Gotta Love the Pacific NW!

Even though the sun has been shining this past week - I know the rain is going to return any day now (minute now?). This digi stamp from Bugaboo Stamps, "April," is from Ruby's Calendar Girls collection. Doesn't she seem appropriate to our weather here?  I'm pretty sure her favorite colors are pink & orange (and maybe purple too!) so I tried to stay true to her color preferences.

I colored Ruby with Prismacolor pencils and blended with Gamsol and a stump. I used a Sakura Gelly Roll clear star pen on the umbrella, rain slicker, boots & puddle to give them a wet look. I tried to show the glitter pen effect in this close-up but the sparkle doesn't seem to show that well in the photo. Operator error?

I stamped the sentiment (Dolphin Song) and cut both images and black background layers with Spellbinders Ovals & Scalloped Ovals (Nestabilities). I adhered a pink cs layer (after I ran it through the Cuttlebug with the Swiss Dots embossing folder) to a black cs layer to a white card base. I cut a rectangle of the DP paper, backed that with a black cs rectangle layer. I added four black brads to each corner of the DP. I layered three flowers (Petaloo) together and added a pink brad to the center. (Basic Grey).

Stamps: Ruby Calendar Girl (April) (Bugaboo Stamps), I Love the Pacific Northwest, (Dolphin Song)
Paper: DP: Delilah Stripe (BoBunny), CS: white, black & pink
Ink: Black dye ink (Memories)
Accessories: colored pencils (Prismacolor), Gamsol, blending stump, edge distressing tool, Spellbinders Oval & Scalloped Oval Nestabilities, brads (Basic Grey), Cuttlebug Swiss Dots ef (Provo Craft),(Fiskars paper cutter; (Fiskars), Scor-pal; (Scor-Pal), Glue Glider Pro, (Glue Glider Pro)
Size: 4-1/4 x 5 1/2 (A2)

You've Got Style!

I found this paper during my last visit to Ben Franklin in Monroe. I used to visit the store on a weekly basis - but since we moved to the beach, my visits are limited. They totally rule when it comes to a great selection of wonderful designer paper. Boo-hoo, I miss shopping there. Anyhoo - I have several stamps that will go perfect with the DP - including Yvette (Inky Antics):

I started by stamping Yvette with black pigment ink, applying clear embossing powder and then heat set it. I sponged Antique Linen distress ink around the image. Then I applied Dries Clear adhesive on her dress, shoe and hat - and sprinkled black opaque Ultra Fine glitter (adhesive and glitter from Barbara Trombley's Art Glittering System) over the adhesive. Next, I applied gold Glitter Glue (Sulyn Industries) on the lower portion of her hat and her earings and Flower Soft for her hair. I used Spellbinders Classic Oval Nestabilities to cut out the image and the black layer in back of the image. The DP was cut and layered to a black panel and adhered to a white card base. Last, I added four black Mini Dew Drops (The Robin's Nest) to each corner.

Stamps: Yvette (Inky Antics)
Paper: DP: En Vogue (Graphic 45), CS: White, black & cream
Ink: Black Colorbox pigment ink (Clearsnap), Scattered Straw distress ink (Ranger)
Accessories: Heat tool (Uchido), clear embossing powder, Dries Clear adhesive & Ultra Fine glitter (Barbara Trombley's Art Glittering System), Black Tombow marker, Dew Drops (Robin's Nest), Classic Oval Nestablilites, Fiskars paper cutter; Scor-pal; Glue Glider Pro.

Changito Happy Birthday

It's Wednesday! Hump Day! Also, StampTV day. I love Gina K's project videos. I learn something new each week. Another great project video source is Beate Johns' blog. If you visit the Splitcoast Stampers website, you're probably familiar with her work. For step-by-step visuals, (especially if you want to learn how to use Copics) you have to visit Theresa Momber's blog. Her artistic abilities are amazing.

I used another Changito stamp on today's card. This one is a Happy Birthday card:

I stamped the image with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored the image with Prismacolor pencils, Gamsol and a blending stump. I used a corner rounder on the image and the black background layer. I cut the DP into three strips and layered them on a black panel and then adhered to a white card base. I added three ribbon strips and three orange brads.

Stamps: Changito B-Day (Stampendous)
Paper: DP: Hot Tomato (Graphic 45), CS: White, black
Ink: Tuxedo Black (Memento)
Accessories: Colored Pencils (Prismacolor), Gamsol, blending stump, ribbon, brads, Fiskars paper cutter; Scor-pal; Glue Glider Pro.
Size: 4-1/4 x 5 1/2 (A2)

Hang In There . . . I've Got My Eye On You.

The sun was out bright and early this morning so I took a cup of coffee and my camera out on the front porch. At first, it was very peaceful and quiet. Soon, however, my cranky black friend (below) started screeching at me. I drank my coffee and tried to ignore him (her?) but s/he never gave it a rest. Finally, I put my coffee cup down and I jumped up and took this picture. It didn't faze him one bit. In fact, he started posing for me! I think he seems to be saying, "I've got my eye on you!"

As I said in the beginning (of my blog), I started this blog to encourage myself to get back to creating cards. I absolutely love all the beautiful paper, embellishments, stamps, ink and coloring mediums. But, somehow I lost my card-making mojo and the only way that I was expressing my love for those items was by shopping for them!! I set my plan in motion to get back in my creativity zone - by building this blog. My goal: make a card (or two or three) EVERY day. WHEW! Crazy much?!? So I made this card to remind me that when things get hectic - and they will (!). . .

Stamps: Changito Tire Swing (Stampendous), Hang In There (Art Impressions)
Paper: DP: Archaic/passe' (Basicgrey), CS: White, black
Ink: Tuxedo Black (Memento)
Accessories: Colored Pencils (Prismacolor), mineral spirits, stump, yarn, Fiskars paper cutter; Scor-pal; Glue Glider Pro.
Size: 4-1/4 x 5 1/2 (A2)

I added a button and sponged some distress ink to the main image of this card. I also stamped some ferns along the edge.

Stamps: Changito Tire Swing (Stampendous), Hang In There (Art Impressions)

Size: 4-1/4 x 5 1/2 (A2)

Thank You Dragonfly

I've had this stamp forever. Sometimes I put googly eyes on him and other times I let him be beautiful with his coppery wings. I found this paper and I thought he would add a little whimsy to the card.  I'm going to have to retake this picture because his rich coppery wings (and the bottom layer behind him) are washed out.

Stamps: Dragonfly (Magenta)
Paper: DP: michov (S.E.I.), Unryu, CS: White, copper, black

A Good Day Fishing . . .

I love this digi-stamp from Mo's Digital Pencil. It reminds me of my husband (who just returned from a deep-sea fishing trip in the Queen Charlotte's - and was THE MAN when it came to catching salmon!). I'm going to post a picture in the next day or two. So, to honor his fishing trip, I made this card (even tho the dude isn't fishing for salmon).

No Stamps Used Part II

The sentiment on this card was computer generated - so actually this is another card made without a stamp. What's this world coming to?? I love the combination of colors used on this card. And not too fussy.

Paper: DP: (I used a scrap piece so I'm not sure), CS: White, lt teal and brown
Ink: computer generated (HP)
Accessories: D'vine Swirls e.f.; (Cuttlebug); circle and scalloped circle paper punches (Paper Shapers); Flourish scroll (BossKut), long classic rectangle (Spellbinders); computer-generated greeting; MS ribbon; paper piercing; Fiskars paper cutter; Scor-pal; Glue Glider Pro.
Size: 5 1/2 x 4 1/4 (A2)

No Stamps Used?

How unusual is that - not a single stamp used on my card? VERY! But I found this fabulous paper with various pictures and a great texture. I was curious to see what I could come up with to use one as the focal point of a card. Of course, the flower totally overpowered everything else. Best laid plans and all that , . .

Paper: DP: Life's Journey Stamp Collage Embossed Paper & Teal Damask (K&Company, LLC) CS: White, lt teal and moss green
Accessories: Paper flowers (Petaloo); Flourish scroll (BossKut); MS ribbon & border punch; bling; Fiskars paper cutter; Scor-pal; Glue Glider Pro.
