Ho Ho Ho

 Here's a card I just finished making a bunch of for mailing.  Love how they turned out...I made 2 versions, see what you think.

 

I used Desert Storm paper for the base for both and the Ho Ho Ho is from CTMH and then just colored them in a little and used a little Diamond Stickles on the first Ho. Then just tied a little backers twine thru the cut out.  I did do a little shading around the whole in the front too.

 

The main stamp at the bottom is an old Stampin' Up set called Holiday Lineup, there are 3 stamps in this set but I've only used two of them as in Florida we don't have snow so the snow men lineup is just an extra for me.   As you can see I just colored the little guys that show thru the whole in the front of the card, and added stickles and shading around the whole so it stands out.  The  saying is from MFT another old set I have called Stitched Stockings... And at the very bottom I cut strips of scrap paper I had that would fill that gap a little....

 Will that's it for me today..

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.

A New Prayer.

Hi All,

Today I made a card using the 4 Ladies at the beach by Ai-Art Impressions called Friends.  Here they are right after I finished coloring them.... there just on Watercolor paper here...

 

I just love each of the ladies, I'm the one in the pock-a-dot pink bathing suite... will because she has the smallest boobies..... :)

I printed the words for the front of the card on my PC  (Spell check did not find my spelling error because it was not spelled wrong..... but my hubby said it's just not used right,,,  so now it reads "Prayer" not Pray. Thanks Honny!)... to go with the inside....you'll see why.

 

Here's how the front looks not so close up.....

 

And here's the inside.... I just love this saying....

Just in case you can't read it;

 

Dear Lord

If you can't make me

skinny,

can You make

my friends FAT?

 

I've had this stamp for a LONG, and just had to have it when I saw it but when I went to use it I could not think of a way to use it without hurting someones feelings....which is not what I meant to do at all since I'm always fighting the battle it just strikes me funny that's all...

With Age......

Hi All...

Today I'm posting the card I finished that I was talking about in last weeks blog.

This is the new stamp I started with....I had pick out my papers but had not put anything together yet...

 

Will here's what I came up with...remember I said I had stamped it kind of low on my paper and when I went to cut it out using the die I wanted it was a little too low... will this was how I got around that.  I just moved it down to the very bottom as if that was just how I wanted it to be.....te he.....

 

Here's a full front view, I think it worked out just fine....?

 

and here's how I dressed the inside.... love that saying ;)

 

The main stamp was by Ai-Art impressions, and the saying came from CTMH...the punch on the inside was a Martha Stewart border, and the die was by Spellbinders. If you want any detail info just let me know and I'll be glad to get it for you.

Getting Older......

Today I'm posting a BD card I made using a new IO-Impression Obsession stamp I found before Christmas and just had to have it....

just look at the cute little cup cakes on the end of the candle... Love that...

After coloring my little cakes and candle (wow-big deal) I left a little of the candle and the glass stick out of the die when cutting... I edged the white and the blue with Smooch Gold Lame, and I used crystal effects on the booz in the glass (but you may not be able to see that)

Here's a look at the full card front...

The saying came from CTMH- Just a Number Occasions set (D1514). This set has some really fun BD saysing, I'm sure I'll be using this set a lot...

And this is the inside...

A few thing's I've been working on

Hi Everyone!

Will I'm finally posting a few things...

Here are 2 new stamps I got before Christmas and just now getting to use..  Both are by Ai-Art Impressions....

This first one is called Girlfriends.... I just LOVE each one of these girls, and can't wait to put them onto a card....

Arent' they a Hoot????

 

This next one is called Golden Oldies, I stamped them to low on the water paper so had to move my die down when I cut them out.... but I can make that work I'm sure. 

 

Have the paper's picked out but have not had time to put this one together yet.

I'll be posting them soon tho....

 

Both of these I colored using Memento Markers and SU crayons, I used crystal effects on all the glasses but I don't think you can see it... and even a little Stickles Rock Candy and Smooch Gold Lame here and there...
