 Hi everyone,

Today I have a card to share using the Simon Says Stamptember collaboration stamp set from Stamper’s Annoymous and Tim Holtz.

I had been away on vacation when it arrived so kind of tardy in using it.

I started by stamping the image with black ink and colouring with Copics. 

I cut the finished piece to panel to 4.5” x 4” panel.

The sentiment was die cut twice and glued together. I added a little white gel pen to the top of the letters.

I added some glue to the tree branches and sprinkled with Distress Rock Candy glitter.

I used Distress snowflake grit paste over top of the snow stencil included with the stamp set.

I added a bit of twine to the bottom of my card and that’s it.

Supplies:

Stamptember 2022 Tim Holtz

Sizzix Bold Text Christmas die set

Distress Snowfall grit paste

Distress Rock Candy glitter

Copics

Twine

Here comes Halloween

 Hi everyone,

Today I have 3 Halloween cards to share with you which I used alcohol inks on each of them. 

For my first card I used a ruler with a strip of felt and added drops to the edge and began pouncing the ruler up and down on the long thin edge to create my background.

For my second card I added alcohol inks directly to a piece of Yupo paper and blended them together with the help of my Tim Holtz air tool to move them around.

For my third card I die cut the words Happy Halloween from the background piece which was used from the second card before I had assembled it.  For the negative space that was left on my second card I die cut the Happy Halloween die from silver sparkle paper and glued it directly into the space.

I used various Lawn Fawn stamp and dies and coloured my images with Copics.

I added Glow in the Dark stencil paste to the tops of the trees on Card 1 and the windows and stars on Card 2 and used a starry sky stencil to add glow in the dark to the striped background.

Well that’s it for my fun Halloween cards for today and thanks so much for stopping by 🙏🏻

Hi everyone,

Here’s my card.

I created my background using a Ken Oliver’s Color burst powder which I adhered directly to my card base.

I then die cut all my Mermaids and the rock and then coloured them with Copics. All other images were stamped directly using various colours of ink pads.

I assembled my scene adhering some of the images directly to my panel with glue and the others were adhered with foam tape.

Stickles was added to the Mermaids in colours to match their outfit.

Well that’s it for my card and thanks so much for stopping by 🙏🏻

Hawaii is my travel destination

Hi everyone,

Well the nice warm weather is here in Montreal and even hotter in Hawaii (so my daughter tells me). 

I have a card to share for the current Lawn Fawnatics challenge #101 where the theme is Travel destination /favorite place.

We were supposed to be in Hawaii in November 2020 but now looking forward to maybe Xmas 2021 🥰

 

I did a lot of die cutting on this card but it was really fun to make.

I started by stamping and Copic colouring my cute bunny and scooter. The water and the cloud background were ink blended with Distress ink and I used several different dies from Lawn Fawn to create my scene. 

After all elements were added to my card I finished it off by adding a little bit of sand (yes I actually have a bag of craft sand) to the edge of the road and to the Kraft card stock piece.

Well that’s it for my card and thanks so much for stopping by.

Easter Reveal Wheel cards

Hi everyone,

Happy Easter weekend. I have some cards to share today that I had created for Easter for family and friends. Enjoy!

I decided to create similar backgrounds for each one by using a bubbles stencil and distress inks.

Once the backgrounds were done I went on to stamping all my images and colouring with Copics.

I used the same background card stock to die cut the scalloped oval for the reveal wheel window so they would match.

I added different colours of grass to each of the cards and coordinated the arrow sign with glitter card stock to match the background.

They were fun to create but a bit time consuming but I am quite happy with my results.

Thanks so much for stopping by and Happy Easter. Go easy on the chocolate 🙏🏻🐰

Easter joy

 Hi everyone,

Well Easter is fast approaching and that means a bunch of fun cards. Today I am sharing a card using a Simon Says Stamp stencil and Lawn Fawn products which is perfect for the current Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge where they are showcasing Lawn Fawn products.

I used the stencil to blend 4 different colours of Distress Oxide inks starting with my lightest colour at the top and going darker to the bottom.

I die cut the Easter letters from gold card stock and stamped the 2 sentiments with black ink.

My images were coloured with Copic markers. 

I added a piece of yellow card stock to my card base and glued my stencilled panel directly to it. All the other elements were added with foam tape.

Well that’s it for my card and thanks so much for stopping by.

Lots of Love

 Hi everyone, 

I seem to have been taken over by the Valentines Day bug and have made quite a few cards.

Here’s one in the slimline format. I am entering this in the current Simon Says Stamp challenge to make a slimline card. Details on their blog here. 

I started by using the cloudy stencil to create my background. I then used 2 of the dies to cut out the stitched panel and the scalloped panel. I don’t have the Scalloped Slimline with Hearts Portrait die set so I carefully measured where I should die cut the 3 hearts and used the heart die from Lawn Fawn’s Magic Color Slider die set. 

The 3 hearts were die cut from a piece of embossed patterned red card stock.

The 3 birdies and the hearts were coloured with Copics.

All the different panels were adhered to my card base and the sentiment pieces were added with some foam tape.

Well that’s it for my card and thanks so much for stopping by 🙏🏻

Let it Snow

Hi everyone,

Today I have a card to share that I made for the current Simon Says Stamp Flickr challenge #167 where the theme is “Winter Chill”

I started by adhering a snowflake stencil to a small rectangle piece of white card stock and applied Whipped Spackle gesso to the stencil.

I used a hillside die to cut out my little hill which was coloured with Distress ink and I added the stamped sentiment to the middle. The little snowman was stamped with black ink and Copic coloured.

I decided to frame out my image so I die cut the frame using 2 stitched rectangle dies.

Everything was added to my card base and the snowman and frame were popped up with foam tape.

I added some glitter to the brim of the snowman’s hat with some Aqua Shimmer and chunky glitter to my hill.

Well that’s it for my card and thanks so much for stopping by 🙏🏻

Happy Fall

 Hi everyone,

Well it certainly feels like Fall. I just spent a few hours outside in the cool crisp air preparing the gardens for the winter ahead. I do love this time of year but generally don’t look forward to what is on the other side of Fall.

Anyways my card is perfect for this day and also for a Latte or hot chocolate 😋 

I created a bunch of watercoloured leaves and some plain die cut ones from different colours of card stock.

I set those aside and created my mugs. I stamped them with black ink and coloured them with Copics. I didn’t have the matching dies so I had to fussy cut them. 

The sentiment was stamped and heat embossed with gold embossing powder. I also added a little of the powder around the edges of the sentiment strip using my Versamark marker and heat set.

I adhered a textured cream coloured piece of card stock to my card base. I added a piece of striped paper along the centre of my card and then added all my leaves . The mugs and sentiment were added to my card  with foam tape.

Well that’s it for my card which I will be entering in Lawn Fawn’s current challenge as below and also SImon Says Stamp current IG challenge.

Thanks for stopping by 🙏🏻

Have a magical day

 Hi everyone, 

Today I have my second card to share created using Lawn Fawn’s Build a Castle die set. I call this one the masculine version of my first one which was in shades of pink.

I started by creating my castle first. I used a brick stencil to create the main castle pieces and some dark blue card stock to die cut all the other pieces. The small accent pieces were die cut from silver glitter card stock except for the flag poles which were cut from dark brown card stock.

I stamped all the little images and coloured them with my Copics and added some Stickles glitter accents.

I set all the components to my castle aside and went on to creating my background using a cloud stencil and Distress Oxide inks. I added a few flicks of water to my background and adhered it to my card base.

I die cut the tree hillside with some green card stock and added that to my base. The sentiment was stamped with glitter embossing powder and heat set.

I adhered foam tape to the castle and figures and also added a small strip of washi tape along the bottom front edge of my card.

Well that’s it for this card and thanks so much for stopping by 🙏🏻

Pink princess

 Hi everyone,

Today's card is 1 of 2 that I have made using Lawn Fawn's Build-A-Castle die set. It will be going to my sweet little granddaughter in Hawaii.

I first started by stamping, colouring and diecutting all the pieces. I used a Brick stencil to create the pattern for the castle walls.

I then moved onto creating the background on my card base using different colours of pinks and red inks.

The pink panel was die cut using a tree border die and the sentiment was stamped onto it and heat set with silver glitter embossing powder.

I added water splatters to my background and then started to assemble my scene with some of the pieces taped flat and others popped up with foam tape.

I must admit I had so much fun making this card that I have made another one which is more masculine. 

Well that's it for my card and thanks so much for stopping by.

Kobi birthday

Hi everyone,

Today I have a card to share using the fun Kobi stamp.

I first started by blending my background with a stencil and 3 different colours of Distress inks.

I put the background aside and went onto stamping my present loaded bear and colouring him and the presents with Copics.

I used a line word die and ran that through my machine 3 times using some shiny black cardstock and glued the 3 die cuts together.

I adhered the panel and the bear with some foam tape to my card base and then added the sentiment.

Well that's it for this card and thanks so much for stopping by.

Each day is a new beginning

Hi everyone,

Today I have a card to share that I created using Simon Says Stamps fun Work Out stamp set. Being a Yogi myself I really love this stamp. The sentiment is perfect for the time we are in right now as each day is truly a new beginning. We will get through this and be even stronger when we do. Namaste!

I used a stencil for my background piece and blended with 2 different colours of Distress inks.

My Yoga girl was coloured with Copic markers. I used a sentiment from the same set to stamp in the centre of the stencil.

I layered my background piece onto a piece of red cardstock and then added some foam pieces to the back of the girl and added her to my card.

Well that's it for my card and thanks so much for stopping by.

Sparkly stencilled birthday card

Hi everyone,

Well it's been a while since I've posted anything here. I have been busy creating cards, making masks and baking a lot. I hope everyone is doing the social distancing thing to try and flatten the curve although here in Quebec the situation is not great, especially in seniors' residences. We have the most cases in Canada. Hopefully we can get the numbers down soon and start to resume our new normal life, whatever that looks like. Anyways stay healthy, stay safe!

With all that being said here are some cards that I have done lately.

And here's another one that I made for Easter for my cute little granddaughter. The easter egg changes to a different colour with every turn of the wheel.

Hope you enjoyed seeing these and thanks so much for stopping by.

Warm Winter wishes

Hi everyone,

Well it's the last day of 2019 and I have finished this year off with a Zumba class this morning and managed to squeak in my last card for the year. Woo Hoo! 

I started by creating my background by blending a couple of colours of Distress oxide inks onto a white background which I had cut out using a wonky stitched rectangle die. I then applied some Gina K glitter paste using a stencil from Taylored Expressions.

I set that aside to dry and created my large sentiment by diecutting 3 times and layering together and blending some Distress oxide ink over top.

I coloured my cute little rabbit with Copics.

I adhered my panel to a base of patterned cardstock and foam mounted the large die cut sentiment.

The bunny was foam mounted and the tiny winter was heat embossed with white embossing powder.

I added some glossy accents to the tiny flower and added a black gel pen to the nose and eyes.

Well that's it for my card and thanks so much for stopping by.

Happy Day

Hi everyone,

Today I have a card to share that I am also entering in the current Simon Says Flickr challenge where the theme is 'Anything Goes'.

I die cut a piece of watercolour cardstock with Simon Says Stamp stitched rectangle die and added Ken Oliver's color burst powder in Violet to that piece until I had a nice blend of colour. I also added some splats of water. 

I moved onto coloring and diecuting all the pieces with Lawn Fawn's Fortune Teller Tabby with Copics. The crystal ball centre was die cut using a piece of Ranger's Silver Sparkle Alcohol Ink cardstock to which I stamp my sentiment.

I wanted a contrast to my background so I used the Simon Says Stamp Diagonal Stripe and blended  some black ink just around the edges of my card base.

I added the purple panel with foam and popped up the images and sentiment. I also added a piece of black and white twine to the top fold of my card.

Well that's it for my card and thanks so much for stopping by.
