Yoga girl

Hi there,

I myself am a Yogi and attend class 4 times a week and practice on my own. I absolutely love it❤️❤️❤️❤️. It really helps in keeping my Fibromyalgia in check which is a huge bonus for me.

So when Simon Says Stamp had their Black Friday sale I was thrilled to finally be able to purchase this stamp and matching die set for oh such a good price!!!
I have had my eye on this set for quite a while now.

Here's the card that I made using this new set.

Christmas shaker tag

Hi everyone,

I haven't been posting too much lately as I seem to be all caught up in the Holiday swing of things. I did however have some time to put together a tag using a new Xmas die from Simon Says Stamp. Entering this in both the SSS Anything Xmas Flickrchallenge#33 and also the Wednesday challenge Let it Snow here on their blog.
This can be used as a gift tag or a tree ornament.

I created the sentiment part of the tag first by blending a couple of different inks together and then die cutting the snowflake ornament tag once from the coloured piece and once from white cardstock and layering the two together.
I moved onto cutting the tag by die cutting a piece of white card stock and also a piece of transperency. sheet. Seeing as I was using a large stitched circle die I decided to stitch the two pieces together using some red and white twine. Just before I had completed the stitching I added the various colours of sequins and some silver stars, closed up the stitching and applied the the die tag to the front using some Multi Matte Medium.
Well that's it for today.

OCC Holiday Style Day 11

Hi there,

Well I've had fun over the past 2 weeks with the Online Card Classes Holiday Style but haven't quite found enough time to participate as much as I would have liked to but I do have a card to share for Day 11.

It was a little tricky to photograph though with all the shine.

I used a Cuttlebug embossing folder for the background. I stamped the tree from Hero Arts of a pice of white vellum and added some glue from a Palletts stamp and stick glue pad. Heat set that a little bit and added some Metal leaf in a variegated green colour. I cut around the tree and added it to the background. 

The sentiment was die cut from some turquoise metallic card stock using a SSS die and adhered to the base of the tree. Added some red gemstones and a metallic star and layered the whole panel onto a drank green card base.

Well that's my card.

Thanks for stopping by,

Happy weekend everyone,

Here's another card for the OCC Holiday Style from the example in class by Kathy Racoosin. I just love this type of class because to me holiday cards are so much fun to create!

I used an old pine bough stamp that I had from years ago from a company called The Artful Stamper. 

The background was stamped several times using Cosmic Copper and I also used the same ink to ink up the die cut sentiment, stamped sentiment and the large stitched background panel.

I added a few red berries here and there for a little added interest.

Hard to see all the lovely shimmer but trust me it's there in real life:)

That's my card for class.

Thanks for stopping by and enjoy your day!

Hi everyone,

This week I'm taking the Online Card Classes Holiday Style. I seem to be a little bit behind but managed to do a little catch up today as I had the day off work.
Here's the card I created following Debby Hughes' sample from Day 1 of the class.

I stamped the backgound with various size snowflakes and embossed in silver and white embossing powders. I then applied colours from Koi - Payne's Gray and Butterfly Wing blue from Peerless blending the background.

Added the splatters with Koi - cobalt blue and white using a Hero Arts white dauber ink which I watered down a bit.

I didn't have a long sentiment so I used 2 different words from Lawn Fawn's Baaah Humbug set and cut them apart and angled them on a curve using my Misti tool.

The snowflake border is a Memory Box die and silver embossed.

Added some silver thread and that's it for this card.

Hi everyone,

Well today I have a card to share for a few challenges - the Anything Goes Wednesday challenge at Simon Says Stamps where they are showcasing Lawn Fawn products  http://www.simonsaysstampblog.com/wednesdaychallenge/ , the Texture challenge at http://virginiasviewchallenge.blogspot.ca/2015/11/virginias-view-challenge-20.html and also the Warm and Cozy challenge at http://die-cut-divas.blogspot.ca/2015/11/warm-and-cozy.html. There's just something about hot chocolate that makes you feel comfy and cozy😀

I started by dry embossing the large LF snowflakes using a different one for each of the 2 corners of the card. Then I applied SSS ink over the embossing and ran the panel through my die cutting machine adding a stitched border to the panel.

The fox was stamped with black ink, coloured with Copics and then die cut. I added some black dots to the mug and some Perfect Puff to the top of the mug to resemble marshmallows. Added Black Enamel Accents to his nose.
Stamped the sentiment, added some tiny vellum snowflakes and clear Wink of Stella to the fox's scarf and to each of the little snowflakes.

hi everyone,

Well I have not posted in a while due to my Fall getaway mini vacation and that I have been busy making Halloween treat bags, (16 so far) since I got back, which I will be posting later next week.
For today I have a card that I made using some new Lawn Fawn products.

Here's my card:

I started by stamping my image first, masking it and then applying the ink background and then adding my snowfall stencil and applying some Whipped Spackle over top. Coloured my reindeer using Copics.

Added some die cut hills using various patterned papers, a hat with liquid appliqué for the pompon and a darling little gift to the reindeer and a little red pearl for his nose.

Stamped a white embossed sentiment and added some clear sequins.

Well that's it.

hi everyone,

Just popping in to share another card created for the current sentiment challenge at http://lawnscaping.blogspot.ca/2015/10/lawnscaping-challenge-sentiments.html

I used the Scripty For You die which I applied the colours to by laying done the inks on my craft sheet, applying water and then pressing my die cut piece onto the inks. The background was created with various patterned papers die cut with a rectangle stitched die using different sizes of the die.

The leaf was die cut and watercoloured with different distress inks using the same technique as the sentiment.

All was mounted on a Kraft cardstock base and Wink of Stella applied to the leaf and sentiment.
