Vellum and Metallic Rub Ons

I made this card for my daughter-in-laws upcoming birthday.  I punched the flower out of white vellum that had a gold and silver fleck in it, then I put the vellum petals through my big shot in an embossing folder.  

The background papers is glossy card stock run through the big shot in an embossing folded then rubbed with metallic gold embossing paste which I added with my fingers.   I like the effect.  To complete the card I added a pretty button for the center of the flower and some silver ribbon.     

The card is very simple but I think very pretty. Thank you for stopping by and I hope you have a creative day.

The Twin's First Christmas

Holly Jolly Christmas Challenges this week is have a 2 punch or dies challenge and Bugaboo Stamps is the sponsor of this challenge so everyone who enters their card has a chance of winning 7 digi stamps from Bugaboo. 

 

This is my card.

 

I chose to use Bugaboo's Digital Image called Christmas Horse.  I made two similar cards because the cards are for my niece's twin's first Christmas.  I used two die cuts for the card and coloured the Christmas horses similarly but different.  I added their names to the card to personalize them and celebrate their first Christmas. 

I hope you will join us this week at Holly Jolly.  You cannot start your Christmas cards too early.  If you need some inspiration pop over to the Holly Jolly Christmas Challenge site and see the inspiring cards by the other  members of the design team.

Crafty Hazelnuts Christmas Challenge - No Snow

Hearts, Hearts, Hearts

We are still on our 10 week vacation  to Arizona.  Having a wonderful time but I am missing my craft room.  I have supplies hidden all over the trailer.   I am managing to get some cards made in the evenings but it takes some planning and a very sweet patient hubby.


This week at Come and Get it Challenges it is my turn to chose the challenge and I chose hearts of course since we are so close to Valentine's day.  
I made this card for my grandson, River for Valentines day.   

I used a glitter paper that already had the hearts cut into it and layered it over red card stock.  The sock monkey rubber stamp was from my collection of unmounted stamps  I coloured him with my Copic Markers and mounted him on some white glitter paper.  I added Diamond Glaze to my heart balloons along with some glitter for more sparkle.  I hope he likes my card. 

Come join us at Come and Get It this week and show us your heart.  Thank you for stopping by and have a creative week.

Christmas Step Card - Santa and His Sleigh

I had fun creating this card for this step card challenge at Holly Jolly Christmas Challenges this week.  Great challenge choice Cindy.

The sleigh and the Santa Claus are digi stamps from Kenny K downloads.  I did lots of colouring with my Copics then added elements from a Christmas Paper Package I had purchased. A little bit of glitter and my step card was completed. 

Hope you will come and join us this week at Holly Jolly and have a creative week.

Gold Leaf Heart

Valentine's day is just around the corner so there are many possibilities to use hearts on your card. My New Years' resolution was to try and use product that I have not used for a long time.  This card was a great opportunity to get out my sticky embossing powder and gold leafing.  I used a set of Hero Arts' heart stamps that I have not used for a long time along with a sentiment from my collection of rubber stamps. 

I edged the die cut with a Marvy Gold metallic marker and the background paper came from my ever growing scrap paper pile. The gold cord is off of a Christmas parcel that I could not help myself to add to my ribbon and cord stash.

Thank you for stopping by and have a creative week.

The Twins are having a Birthday

My niece's little boys, Edwin and Alex  are turning one next month and I wanted to make them  individual cards to celebrate the day.  I wanted the cards to be similar but different.

I searched my stash of digital images and found these two images.  The first card of the little boy and the frog is by Fred, She Said Designs and the frog sitting on the garden pot is by Polycraft Digital Stamps. I tried to use similar colours on the cards and drew in some grass and a flower on the one card.  

I coloured the cards with my Copic Marker, edged the cards with Distress Inks  and added some Diamond Glaze on the frogs' eyes to make them stand out.  I added a sentiment and a bow to complete the card.  

The card reminds me that spring is just around the corner.  

I hope they enjoy the card and now all I have to do to is to wrap the small gift I have for them. 

Thank you stopping by and have a wonderful day.

Time for a Sketch at Come and Get It Challenges

Cindy this week at Come and Get It Challenges chose a sketch for the challenge.  Sketches are always fun.

This is my interpretation of the sketch.

This was a fun sketch.  I used my Hero Art Stamp and Cut set along with a Stampin Up sentiment. I coloured my flowers and butterfly with Copic Markers and the card was complete. 

Please join in this challenge at Come and Get It. Thank you for stopping by and I hope you have a creative week.
