Hop! Hop!

Hi Again....
Let me show you two more cards I made using another Art Impressions stamp set called Hop Hop (UMU4388). What a FUN stamp this is, guess that's why I had to make two of them.....
Here we go..........

both of these I colored using my OLD set of SU-Watercolor Crayons, for the edges I used Ranger inks and a black Mementos marker just to make the die pop.  The die on the left is called Tile Works (S5-193) and the die for the right card is called Labels 40 Decacarative Elements (S4-467).
Here they are one at a time.


and the other one....


I only did the inside of the first card so far... not sure what I'll be doing with the second so left it blank for now.


This is from a Technique Tuesday stamp set called O Shoot (OhSho).... love this and know I will be using this one a lot.

"Duct Tape"

Today I have another Manly card to show....

This image I stamped years ago when I was just learning to stamp and a few gals that were prows came over and let me use there stamps... I came across this one and another one that I stamped 2 or 3 times each and just never did anything with them....Why I don't know. .....?

For the background I used some old colume pad paper that I've got loads of... backed it with some orange.

The image I colored with SU-Watercolor crayons and a few Memento Markers.  For the wood I cut some wood paper I had left over from the last card I made and ran it thru the wood embossing folder, then popped it all up using Fun Foam.  

Here's the inside, used a few different stamp set for the words here.... and used up my last piece of wood too.

Hi All!!!
Today I'm posting a manly card,,,, Yea, aren't they the hardest to make.
Will this is what I made my Stepson for Father's Day and also to Congrats him on a promotion he just received too!

the image by Serendipity Stamps call Grill-1266G I stamped on Canson Watercolor paper, I've used this stamp a few time now and always love how it turns out.... use SU-watercolor crayons to color and for the clouds too... The clouds die is by IO called Puffy Clouds 068-A and I used all three dies that came with this set.

This background paper is My Mind's Eye called On the Bright side, and the base of the card is Neenah Desert Storm, just LOVE this heavy paper for the base of my cards. 

Here's a close up so you can see how I popped up the image using Fun Foam and a few of the clouds too.

Ruff Time

I'm really on a roll for these Get Well cards.... I never seam to have one when I need it....
Today's is a Double;

First I made the purple card and just did not like it... to much going on for me..... so I went in the other direction all white for the second card and I like that much better. But I'm going to keep them both I know there both be cute for someone.

The little pooch is from a SU-Wellness Wishes/115356 and the saying is by MFT-Puppy Girl. 

I used the Fun Foam on the back to pop up the layers and tie some baker twin around with a bow.  

I think you can see the layers better in this pic.  Yes he's kind of plan but I like him....

and here's my purple pooch... same stamp set and the saying came with it.  

here you can see how I have the pooch and the saying popped up and a peek of the inside too....

the inside I left blank again... used the die cuts leftover from the front for the inside.

Sick Pooch

A while back I colored several dog stamps I had and decided to make this card with one of them....

is that not a face you could just kiss..... he just has the look. I cut him out using my largest fishtail flag die by MFT and then cut some more using different sizes...even the little "Heard you're sick" is on the smallest flag. I did sponge around everything.

Here's a side view, you might be able to see the print background paper is popped up as will as the dog flag.

the inside I've left bland for now.  When I cut the flag for the inside I was going to put a different color on the inside of it, then decide to just sponge around it like this and put it right back in place... I like that look. 

That's it, what do you think?

Dog Days and Coloring

WOYWW

(What's On Your Workdesk Wednesday)

Every Wednesday Julie Dunnit hosts a gathering of crafters from all over the world to share what they are working on with a pic of our play area.  It's really fun to see all the different things people are working on from all over the world and I must say I've meet some very interesting people from Julie's site, Thanks Julie!!!!!!

Will here's mine for today; 

First I'd like to thank you for stopping by my place and visiting!  I so enjoy reading your comments and encouragement!
This week I've been coloring and working on DOG's,,,,,, and here they are;

 Now these little guys were either stamped on Canson Watercolor paper or SU regular paper.  Sometimes I stamp with SU Craft basic black ink pads and some times I use Memento Tuxedo black but always use clear embossing power with both..  For the two bigger ones I colored them with SU-Watercolor Crayons and the smaller ones with Memento and CTMH Markers.

Here's a different view of the same, I tried to stand them all up so you can see them better.
The Spoiled Dog - 6601 sleeping on the pillow and the Sick as a Dog-10403 are both from QKR Stampede.  All the rest are from "Eat Cake Graphics".

Birthday Bath

I've been working on some coloring and had just finished this little guy....
He is just not looking like he is having very much fun and though I would try to use him for a BD card.

I love this background paper from an old 6x6 pad DCWV-The Pets Stack, it has so many cute sheets. It really worked will with this little pooch getting his BD Bath, he's from QKR Stampede called what else "Dog Bath-1801"  He's just one of several dog stamps I got and started coloring I'll have to show you later this week.

Here's a better shot to see the bubbles and water drops. I used Glossy Accents first then when that dried added some Stickles Rock Candy here and there. 

And this is the inside.... a nice clean pooch and ready to Party....this little guy is from "Eat Cake Graphics" called "Fetch Leaps through the Air-3036-G".
I just fussy cut him out and glued him down.

I do most of my coloring with SU-Watercolor Crayons and Memento markers.

Harv

First I want to Thank all of you that stop by to visit and leave comments... It's so nice to know people are out there watching :)

Todays card is a FUN guy card.... or he could be used for any Celabration. 
It's "Harv" by Art Impression, take a look and see what you think.....

Is he not just a Hoot!!!! For the border around the Wonky Rectangle I created a frame using stripped paper.  Saw this on Jenny Gropp's blog she even did a qucik How-to-viedo.  It's such a cute idea, I had to use it.  Now for Harv, he was So much FUN to color and the ballowns I used from another AI stamp set called 29 Again.

Here's a close up of the ballowns with the strings, you may not be able to tell but there's  Glossy Accents on them too....Just look at the face... he is just so cute!

and the inside... I used a pice of the stripped paper that I used for the frame for the front. The saying is a AI stamp too...

Dustin's TWO

No it's not Dustin's BD, I'm just way early....... this is for his BD in December.....But I found this CUTE little boy blowing bubbles and it looked just like him.  So I had to get it and made his card right away. 

I so enjoyed coloring him too... he really does look like little Dustin..

 

Here's a close up of the layers and the bubbles, I put 2 layers of Glossy accents on the big bubbles and there real deep. 

And here's the inside,  I reused the same papers and die cut some clouds...

It was really very simple, but it looks very nice.

 

Will that's it for today... What do you think?

Goofy Things....

Morn'in All....
I've been working on some fun cards that could be used for Men or Ladies... or at least that was what I was going for, let me know if you think the same or not..
Here's a close up of my little Ducky....He's from an old CTMH stamp set called Makin' Waves (C1365) there are 5 different ducky's and I love them all.  I stamped him on Watercolor paper and used SU Watercolor Crayons to color him.  But the background blue I bought my 1st Distress Ink pad called broken china, and tried to watercolor the background.... when it was dry i went over it with a clear Wink of Stella pen..I tried several shots to let you see the shine but no luck.

 

Here's the whole view of the front, I even used some sequins here and there.... on the little ducky face mask and bubbles I put Glossy Accents but it's not showing up either...

The saying is from Art Impression call Goofy things (UMF2637).

 

Here's another view......

 

and this is the inside....

here I used 3 different stamp sets...

The Celebrate came from-Inkadinkado-Birthday Cupcake 97628,

next the Life is better is from-Cloud 9-Simple Thoughts Laughter,

and then the HB is from CTMH-Happy Birthday (C1257)

Even thow they are all different I think they work well together.

So what do you think, please let me know.

Walker Swing Cut card

Hi Again***
As promised in my last post I tried the Swing Cut Card again using a larger die this time and it worked.... Yea....*
So here we go...............

For this card I used a piece of double sided paper that was nice and heavy.... (but after I got finished I think I should have used card stock) The image is a Art Impressions stamp called Golden Oldies UMT3476, that I stamped and embossed then colored with SU Watercolor Crayons.  Used a little Glassy Accents in the glasses and Wink of Stella Gold on her Jewels.....

Here's a bit of a side view as it opens......

And this is the card open....

the left panel on the inside has another AI saying called The Body May be slow UMG3505, and the saying on the right is a CTMH called what else Happy Birthday C1257.

I just cut 2 more backgrounds out with the reverse paper and then add the white with the sayings...I did outline them all with black to let them stand out some....but that was it. 

I got my measurements and idea for this Swing card from Splitcoast Ideas here are 2 links.

http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/resources/tutorials/diecutswingcard/

I think I'll try this second one next....

Celebrate- Swing Cut Card

Hi All....
Today I'm posting a card I've been working on but it didn't quit make the cut.....
I was trying to make a Swing Cut Card but..... I didn't pick a die big enough to do the swing with....So this is a modified version.
I posted more pic than I usually do but this was hard to get what I though should be in each view.

Here's the front view.... the stamp is by Impression Obsession called Birthday Drink E2282...

I stamp and embossed it and then colored with SU watercolor Crayons.  I used some gold Wink of Sella for the flame... Love this stuff*** and used Glossy Accents for the drink (I don't think you can tell in any of the pics). Then I cut it out with a Spellbinders dies.  All the background papers are from SU

Here's the first fold and cut.......

and a different view of the same......

and still another view with it open a little bit.....

and here's the inside view....the Celebrate at the top show thru to the front of the card when it's closed...

I must say even thow it's not a true Swing cut card I like how this turned out..

How about you???

I'm going to try another one in the next few days....
