Happy New Year

Here is another quick post to wish you all a very Happy New Year! Wishing you all health and happiness.  Here are some quick place cards I made for our New Years Eve supper (well, late supper).

These were fun and easy to make, mostly die cutting.  I used Spellbinders dies for the notebook base and the oval for the names.  The background stamp is an older Hero Arts Confetti woodblock (that I love) also from Hero Arts is the 2017 stamps and the name/letter dies. Lawn Fawn "Cheers" die and the champagne flute is by Papertrey Ink. Enjoy your New Years Eve, please be careful on the roads (we have a storm here but luckily my family all live very close).

Thanks for 2016 and fro taking the time!

CAS-ual Fridays Celebration!

Time for another challenge over at the CAS-ual Fridays Challenge blog! We are Celebrating for this Challenge!

I love using grey and white for a card, I find the color combination classy.  I decided to make a shaker, after all New Years is around the corner and what better then confetti to celebrate! I used StazOn Opaque Cotton White with my Misti for the "Bravo" stamp and the "Exclamations" stamps on the inside panel.  I was able to stamp multiple time thanks to the Misti to get a crisp white sentiment.  For my shaker I used the Fun-Fetti Fri-dies in silver, silver glitter and turquoise glitter papers and added some Lucy's little things Winter Mint sequins.

I wish all of you a very Happy 2017!!!

This card features Neat and Tangled products and was my husband's Christmas card. It sincerely is the most wonderful time of the year!!!

Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah!!!

My Favorite Things - Polar Bears!

The following project is a card that I made for the daughter of a good friend.  She loves scene cards and these polar bears by MFT fit the bill perfectly!

I used many different companies to build this card. The frame used to die cut the base panel and the subsequent layers is by Avery Elle (Wonky Stitched Rectangle).  The mountains are by Mama Elephant and the snow hill is by Lawn Fawn.  I coloured my bears, the ice and background trees with Copics then put the entire scene together and popped up my bears with foam tape.  I die cut a few MFT hearts and uses Christmas Red Stickles on them. I finished by stamping my sentiment by Papertrey Ink and adding some Pretty Pink Posh sequins!

Thanks so much for taking the time!

Last minute Christmas projects with CAS-ual Fridays Stamps

This is the time when many crafters are in the process of completing last minute holiday projects!  I am certainly not the exception! 

I am sharing a tag today that I made for my husband, I usually like to mass produce tags and have them on-hand for any last minute gifts. But, I figured that he should have a special "one and only" tag and the Mistletoe and Holly set by CAS-ual Fridays was perfect!!

I stamped the mistletoe in MFT Black Hybrid Ink and used my trusty Prismacolor Pencils to colour in the image.  The white berries looked ok with the pencil but I added liquid pearl drops to make them a little more dimensional.  I then stamped my sentiment with VersaMark Ink and used Red Glitter embossing powder by Ranger I believe. Put my tag together added some festive ribbon and bells and, of course, Sparkling Clear Sequins by Pretty Pink Posh!

I will be back this week with a few more holiday projects before Christmas!

Thanks for taking the time!

Time for another Cas-ual Friday's Challenge :)

Happy Friday all! One more week of work for me then I am lucky enough to have a two-week break with family and friends. I can't wait to recharge my batteries for 2017!

I always love a new challenge over at CAS-ual Friday's :) My project this week features the fantastic Funny Flakes dies.  I am simply in-love with these dies, the design of the snowflakes is amazing! This is my second project this week featuring them and I will have more between now and Christmas!

The challenge this week is CFC163 - Christmas and Hanukkah 

I made seven of these tags in a variety of colours, I just couldn't stop! Lol I have a picture lower in this post that shows the seven tags.  I used a variety of glitter paper and shiny cardstock for my snowflake dies and I decided to use Kraft to really showcase the design of those dies.  The sentiment is from the fantastic CAS-ual Friday's Snowy Sayings set and I embossed all of the sentiments in white. I put a variety of sequins in the centre of the snowflakes, some twine and voila!

CAS-ual Friday's Funny Flakes

I have been so enjoying the Funny Flakes die set by CAS-ual Fridays Stamps :) This card is for one of our favourite couples!

I did inlayed die cutting for this one with a mix of red mirrored cardstock and silver glitter cardstock. I really love the effect that is gives the snowflakes :)  The sentiment is a die by Simon Says Stamp, always tough to find french sentiments I love the scale of this one. I topped everything off with sequins!

Thanks for taking the time!

Stamping Bella

I am seriously in love with Prismacolor on Kraft! This stamp is by Stamping Bella, I have always loved these bellas and the design of them has changed slightly over the years - they have more detail now.

This card is for a teenage girl, so I felt that the teal/pool color was the "trendiest" choice... Although I adore the red/pool mix for Christmas.  The sentiment is from CAS-ual Friday's and I die cut it from MFT glitter paper (my favourite glitter paper).

Here is a close-up of the Bella. I finished the card off with a mix of sequins and embellishments.

Thanks for taking the time!

MFT Coffee Cups

This Coffee Cup/Hot Chocolate die set by My Favorite Things was backordered for the whole season last year. My local scrapbook store Scrapbook Centrale was able to get them for me in January lol! I was excited to be able to make a Christmas card with the set this year. This card is for my coffee buddy whom I miss terribly and she lives way too far away for my taste!

I die cut my mugs from gold cardstock with a layer of double sided tape that I applied on top to be able to add glitter to give that muted gold effect.  I coloured white cardstock with Copics for the coffee and die cut my hearts from red cardstock and used some Distress Ink in Gathered Twigs to give the red a little shading. I then used the MFT Diagonal stencil with Nuovo Glitter Embossing Paste (love the stuff!) on the same red cardstock as the hearts (I think it is Simon Says Stamp School House Red) I then die cut the Sending and Hugs (both by Simon Says Stamp in white and gold glitter paper and layered them. The Christmas sentiment is by Papertrey Ink. I finished it all off with Pretty Pink Posh sequins.

Going in the mail tomorrow!

Thanks for taking the time!

Casual Friday's Challenge - CFC162

Time for another fun Challenge over at Casual Friday's :)

This challenge is all about Glitter and Snowflakes! I really love the holiday season, I really just don't like the snow that follows in January. Snow from now until January 1 to me would be great then - no more! Lol!

I used the Cas-ual Friday's Snowflake Greetings set for this project. I simply love aqua for winter/holiday themed cards so I turned to my Soft Pool die ink for the Snowflakes and I managed to find some matching glitter paper in my stash for the side of my panel.  I thought adding a shaker window would give it a fun element with matching sequins. The sentiment is silver embossed on vellum also from the Snowflake Greetings stamp set.

Simon Says Stamp Merry & Bright

I recently placed a few orders with Simon Says Stamp. I love their exclusive products :)

I had such fun with this one, I like the non-traditional grey for my background.  I used the Simon Says Stamp Exclusives Merry and Bright die and the Breeze wafer die.  The Sentiment was die cut from silver cardstock and the Breeze die was cut on the grey panel with silver glitter paper backing it for some shimmer.  The poinsettias and snowflake stamps that are embossed are from three different older Simon Says Stamp sets. I then topped off the card with Lucy's Little Things Winter Mint sequin  mix (my favourite mix ever!) and some Gellyroller dots to look like snow!

Thanks for taking the time!

Art Impression Stackers

Happy Sunday all, even though it wasn't Thanksgiving for me I was still able to benefit from some on-line shopping and some excellent Black Friday deals! This is a card made with one of the Art Impression stackers (that I am in love with). They are hard to come by as they are usually out of stock in most places, I was so excited to be able to get my hands on two of the Christmas ones. I used the Reindeer Stacker for this one.

There is something so nice about Prismacolors on Kraft paper. In hindsight, I would have used a paler colour for the bodies of the deer but I still think they are just the cutest!  I used a Lawn Fawn stamp for the snowy background with Hero Arts Unicorn White pigment ink. I then managed to mess-up my sentiment which was originally supposed to go directly on the card... My solution was to double-up a small Lawn Fawn tag die and I like my fix, LOL! It gives the card a little more colour.

I hope those of you celebrating had a wonderful long-weekend.

Thanks for taking the time!

Simon Says Stamp - Flickr Challenge

I managed to get this one under the wire for the last Simon Says Stamp Challenge over at Flickr! The Challenge was colouring in honour of the 30-day Colouring Challenge hosted by Kathy Racoosin.

For anyone that follows this blog or knows me, you know that I am a crazy dog lady LOL!

This card features the Simon Says Stamp  Simon and Dexter Christmas stamp set and the Simon Says Stamp Falling Snow Stencil.  I honestly love this set from last year, and colouring Simon is always fun! This card is actually for one of my deer friends who has a dog just like Simon! 

Thanks for taking the time!

Holiday Card Season!!!

So this is my favourite time of year, the Christmas season just makes me smile.  My holiday card orders are streaming in and I am having such fun.  This project features many different companies that I like.  I must say however, that I recently placed some large orders from Simon Says Stamp and Ellen Hutson.  I was so disappointed with my Ellen Hutson order, I am Canadian and the exchange rate makes American orders quite expensive. Add to that a 20-day wait for my order and I was saddled with an extra $40.00 customs fee.  I was so disappointed... Because I do love the exclusive products. I don't mean to rant because they are quality products but I simply can't have that happen again.  As for my Simon order, 8 days and I had everything in-hand and no customs fee. I was very happy with that one :)

So here is my project featuring items from those orders!

I die cut the Leaping Deer from Ellen Hutson on my panel then from glitter paper and did a die cut insert. I also die cut the Simon Says Stamp Bubble Breeze die in the lower left hand corner and placed a small piece of silver glitter paper behind the panel.  The sentiment from Papertray Ink and the Casual Fridays snowflakes were embossed with the Simon Says Stamp fine silver embossing powder. I then topped everything off with my first set of Lucy Abrams sequins in the Winter Mint (I love this mix). 

Thanks for taking the time!

CFC161 - Be Thankful with a discount!!!

Time for a new challenge over at Cas-ual Fridays :) The theme is Be Thankful! American Thanksgiving is next week and what a better time to reflect and be thankful then now! We celebrate Thanksgiving in October here in Canada but I would do a repeat anyday!

But first, Michelle has a wonderful discount for you over at Casual Fridays Stamps to celebrate this time of year!

Go on over, the savings will last while supplies do or until November 30th!!

Now on to the challenge:

I used stamps from the Thanks and Wallflower sets and embossed them in gold (love gold embossing this time of year) I then watered down Distress Inks in Ripe Persimmon, Aged Mahogany and Peeled Paint and painted on top of the embossing.  I had never used this color mix and I like it! I then turned it into a shaker card with a mix of Pretty Pink Posh Sequins.

Avery Elle Kitsch Christmas

I have been waiting so long for this stamp set! It was backordered everywhere to the point that I had the die set for six weeks before getting my little hands on it!  I apologies, I haven't posted in a while due to work (day job...jeez) and I have received holiday card orders for a company I deal with annually.  I should be positing regularly now :)

I am madly in love with the deer in this set and the retro looking sentiments! I coloured her with Copics, I will be using these a lot this year.  Aside from the Avery Elle deer and bow (Kitch Christmas) and sentiment the remaining products are Lawn Fawn (snow in the background, the birch trees and the snowy hill dies) and MFT red foil frame. I topped it off with (huge shocker!) Pretty Pink Posh sequins :)

Thanks for taking the time!

Kim

CFC160 - Kraft

Time for a new challenge over at Casual Fridays :) What a better challenge then a Fall type color challenge! This time you must feature Orange, Brown and Kraft! I struggle with orange, so this was a fun project for me to get me out of my comfort zone!!

I do however, love Kraft paper! For this one I kept my flowers and leaves from the Pretty Posies stamp set pretty plain by stamping them with Chocolate Fudge MFT ink. Although the details on those beautiful flowers are not plain, I just love them! I then stamped the smallest butterfly from the Casual Fridays Butterbows stamp set with MFT Tangy Orange ink. I was worried about the Hybrid ink on Kraft but I love the way the orange really shows nicely! I used the Thanks die from the Smiling Fri-die set and die cut it on Orange and Brown paper and mounted the sentiment on some fun foam for dimension. I put the card together then stamped the Many sentiment from the Thanks stamp set. I finished it all off with Pretty Pink posh sequins.

Avery Elle - Season's Greetings

Happy Monday all! Or Happy Halloween, we don't really do much for Halloween. We have two dogs that love to bark at the doorbell therefore making Halloween a little difficult for my husband and I. I have been away and busy for work over the last few weeks which is why I haven't posted much.  Over the weekend I got the chance to play in my studio and produce some holiday projects :)

I just love this greeting die by Avery Elle. There is something about the font and the scale, I ordered it at the end of the holiday season last year so it was one of the first that I grabbed to start my cards!  I used StickIt and fun foam with red mirrored cardstock (not sure what the real term is! lol). I also die cut the holly that accompanies the word die in green "mirrored" paper and the berries in red glitter paper.  I die cut my panel using one of the Lawn Fawn border dies and I embossed it with my favourite Next Level polka dot embossing folder. I put the card together and finished it off with Pretty Pink Posh sequins!

Thanks for taking the time!

CFC159 - Fight Like a Girl

Woot, woot! Time for a new Challenge over at the CAS-ual Friday's Challenge blog!  This week it is all about girl power! The theme is Fight Like a Girl!

I has such fun making this one! I just love the fonts in the Calling all Sistahs set :)  I stamped my background sentiments with Versamark Ink in a repeating pattern and used clear embossing, I then stamped a few in Versafine Onyx black for a punch of color.  I then die cut my panel and cut it so it would sit at an angle on the card base. I used vellum and white embossing for the Ruffled Ribbon (Hope Ribbon stamp set) and I topped it off with the "You've got this" sentiment.  I then scattered some sequins around the angled panel.

Products used:

Stamps: Hope Ribbon, Calling all Sisters

Fri-dies: Ruffled Ribbon

Altenew Birthday for a dear friend!

My local Scrapbook store Scrapbook Centrale started carrying Altenew products a few months ago which made me very happy! I guess the sets I used for this card would be considered "older" but are new to me! This card is a for a dear friend from high school who has a birthday next week :)

I used my Misti for all the stamping, really is the best tool ever! I started with the Altenew Halftone Happy and the Vintage Flowers stamp sets along with the inks in Cool Berry, Ruby Red, Warm Sunshine and Caramel Toffee also by Altenew. The black ink is Versafine Black Onyx (my favourite black ink) and I topped it all off with some Pretty Pink Posh sequins.

Thanks for taking the time!

Lawn Fawn Thanksgiving!

Just a quick post to share the nameplates I made for Thanksgiving supper. Canadian Thanksgiving was yesterday (my favourite long-weekend of the year) and I made a bunch of these for our family supper.

I seem to always turn to Lawn Fawn products for projects like these! I die cut the base with an older Spellbinder die and then stamped the apple basket from Thanks a Bushell and the sentiment from cutie pie using my Misti.  I then stamped a series of apples also from Thanks a Bushel and the Pie from Cutie Pie. I Copic coloured all of my images and then die cut my letters from the Lawn Fawn Finley's ABCs using Perfectly Plaid papers.  I put everything together and finished them off with a few stitched leaves on Kraft with some Distress Inks.

Thanks for taking the time! For those of you who celebrated I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving!

CASual Friday's - New Challenge 1 in 8!

Time for another challenge over at the CAS-ual Friday's Challenge blog!  October is breast cancer awareness month and for those of you who know CAS-ual Friday's and its' owner Michele Gross you will know that she is a breast cancer survivor!  She also released this wonderful line of stamps "Calling all Sistahs" to raise awareness and encourage women to have regular check-ups. October being breast cancer awareness month well, expect to see lots o' pink and that is just how it should be!

The challenge is 1 in 8 as the statistic is that 1 in 8 women will go through this in their lifetime. My 8 on this card is hope, because we should all have hope for health, for a cure and hope to put an end to all cancers.

I used the Hope Ribbon stamp set and the Fri-die along with the Hope Fri-die. I die cut seven black and one white Hope on which I used Picked Raspberry Distress Ink with an ombré effect. I used the same ink on the ribbon but the cardstock is a pale pink.

Altenew - Kraft w/Prismacolor pencils

A quick post today to share a card I made using Altenew stamps on Kraft Paper with my Prismacolor Pencils.

This is one of my favourite combinations for flowers.  There is something about Prismacolour Pencils and Kraft paper that make me happy! I am not usually a "Yellow or Orange" kind of person but with fall here I felt this mix was just right.  I used MFT Kraft coloured hybrid ink and the Altenew Beautiful Day stamp set. I also usually use gamsol with my Prismacolors but I picked up the blender that is manufactured by Prismacolor (go figure I bought the big momma 150 set and they don't provide the blender... but that would be my only comment about my Prismacolor pencils :) The die cut frame is by Avery Elle and if you follow my blog, you know that it is pretty much my favourite.  The sentiment is also from the same Altenew stamp set and I stamped that in Versafine Onyx Black Ink. I finished off the card with a mix of Pretty Pink Posh sequins.

Thanks for taking the time!

50th Wedding Anniversary

Just popping in to share a card that my Mom asked me to make for family friends that are celebrating the big 50th wedding anniversary!

Gold is the colour for a 50th anniversary and I wanted to keep the card classy so I opted to gold emboss my flowers that are from Hero Arts Marianne's Flowers stamp set.  I really didn't need watercolour paper but I just love the texture, so to stamp my flowers I used my Misti to be able to get good coverage with the Versafine ink. I then decided to add a little shading with my Copics to the flowers to give them a little dimension and life.  The die cut sentiment is by Simon Says stamp that I cut twice, once in black and the second time with gold paper. I glues the two with Stick It (offset to see the shadow).  The smaller sentiment is from Avery Elle and I simply gold embossed it. Finished it all off with some Pretty Pink Posh sequins in gold and a little twine on the flower to the far left.

Thanks for taking the time!

More Lawn Fawn Christmas scenes!

I seem to be getting my Christmas on lately with the newest Lawn Fawn release! Again, I am a sucker for critters!

For this one I started with a piece of watercolour cardstock and die cut it with the Snowy Backdrop die (released last year) with a mix of Salty Ocean, Weathered Wood and Faded Jeans Distress Inks. I sprayed the panel with my Distress Sprayer and reapplied for more texture. I then decided to die cut a piece of vellum to mute the colour just slightly.  I stamped my images from the Lawn Fawn Cheery Christmas (using my Misti to double stamp for crisper lines) and coloured them with my Copics. I used my Lawn Fawn Simple Stitched Hillside Borders for the snow. I love these little critters but I must say the squirrels are my absolute favourites!

Thanks for taking the time!

Simon Says Stamps Fall Colours!!!

I love fall, love everything about it. I love the colours, the fresh air and I just wish we could have fall until April but unfortunately winter follows, lol!!! The challenge over at the Simon Says Flickr Challenge page is fall colours!

I used the leaves from the Simon Says Stamp Spring Flowers stamp set (seriously, one of my favourites!). I coloured the leaves with Copic markers in a variety of fall colours, I then used the matching dies.  I die cut a postage stamp frame out of Kraft cardstock and stamped a woodgrain background stamp in MFT Hot Fudge. I cut my card base and embossed the sentiment from the Birthday Wishes stamp set (also SSS) and used Cooper embossing powder.  I glued my leaves and topped it off with Pretty Pink Posh sequins!

Thanks for taking the time!

New CAS-ual Fridays Challenge CFC157 - Shaker Cards!

Welcome back to another challenge for CAS-ual Fridays! This challenge is all about shaker cards! Who doesn't love a shaker card :)

I used the beautiful Dream then do stamp set by CAS-ual Fridays. I just love the bold fonts and great inspirational sayings in this set.  I felt that that sentiment should be the star of the show so I used my Misti and double stamped in on white cardstock first then I placed my pattern paper on top and stamped it again.  I embossed the frame for a little texture and then filled my sequins!  I am keeping this one for myself and putting it in my studio.  I just love that quote:)

Lawn Fawn - Let it Snow!

Having such fun with my new Lawn Fawn products! I am even jumping into holiday projects full force! These critters are just too cute!

I started by die cutting all of my "frame" and background elements. I die cut the background in light turquoise cardstock and stamped the snow from the Lawn Fawn Snow Cool set and white embossed. I added some Stormy Sky Distress Inks to add dimension.  I then die cut two of the leafy tree portrait die, one with Lawn Fawn pattern paper and one from watercolour cardstock. I then used a mix of Distress Inks to "grey out" the tree to make it look wintery.  I sprayed it with some water for texture and cut just the tree out then glued it to the pattern paper tree.  I also die cut some snow hills also using Lawn Fawn dies.  My stamps are a mix from both Cheery Christmas and Snow Cool coloured with Copics.  I used some vellum to balance the snow background.  I was so careful to glue it so it wouldn't warp but alas, I added glue for my sequins and yes, it warped!!  

Thanks for taking the time!

Christmas Tags... Already!

So, please don't be upset with me for featuring Christmas tags already! Lol. I just could't resist playing with these new Avery Elle stamps!

Ugh, aren't the cat and dog too sweet! I am a huge animal lover and when buying stamps if they feature any kind of critter I am there! I Copic coloured my images from Dear Santa and Happy Howl-idays I then used sentiments from Dear Santa for both tags. I used MFT Hybrid Inks in Black, Wild Cherry and Gumdrop Green to match my Christmas colours. I also used images from Retro Ornaments, also by Avery Elle for the (I guess snowflakes) on the cat tag and I used SSS Maliblue Ink for the snowflakes on both. For accents I used Gellyroller pens in white, black and clear star.

Thanks for taking the time!

CAS-ual Fridays Challenge - CFC156

Time for a new challenge over at CAS-ual Fridays :) CFC156 Dimension and Bling!!!

I think I am happily obsessed with the Pretty Posies stamp set by CAS-ual Fridays. I just love the lines of these flowers!  I used my Zig Clean Color markers for this one with purples! Rare for me, lol!  The smaller of the two sentiments is also from Pretty Posies that I embossed in white on black cardstock. I then die cut two of the Thanks sentiment from the Smiling Fri-dies in black and in purple glitter cardstock. I poped-up my flower on the card with foam tape for dimension and did the same to the leaf but only on the end to curl it up a little. I then finished it off with some sequins for bling! I then felt the Thanks was a bit washed out so I used my white gellyroller to add a little dimension on the black!
