Merriest Wishes

I wish I shared the excitement my little ones have for the snow but I don't look forward to the winter and the winter winds and cold that it brings.  Well I guess if you live in Canada, that's what you get.

Anyways, I am sharing a card I made for the Inspiration Challenge at Splitcoast yesterday (inspiration photo from Pinterest below).  The snowman is a digital image...so cute and created by my friend Lisa Lara.  I coloured him with Copic markers then pop dotted him the card front that was partly embossed.  

I am also adding my card to the CAS-ual Fridays (embossing) challenge and the Simon Says (keeping it clean and simple) Challenge.

Thanks for coming by and taking a peek.

Supplies:  stamps; Hero Arts, digi from Clearly Stamped/ eb folder/ Copic markers/ pop dots

Jolly Santa

Truth be known...I love the look of vintage Christmas images.  Guess they remind me of being a kid. 

My card was inspired by the pillow (pictured below) for the Inspiration Challenge at Splitcoast today.   This Santa image from Flonz Stamps worked perfectly with this little frame.  I kept it very simple by adding some dp behind Santa and pop dotting the frame beside the Digital sentiment from Pink Petticoat.  Going to put this card into the challenge at Simon Says (keeping it clean and simple)

Hope you have a great weekend.

Supplies;  stamps:  Flonz, MME, digi/ Copic markers/ pop dot/ printer

Happy Ho, Ho, Ho

It is never too early to get some Christmas cards made and all ready for the big day.  This card was created for the colour challenge at Splitcoast today.  Check it out for some great inspiration.

I seldom to never have used digital images but that is what this card is all about.  

The Santa was printed out, coloured with Copic markers and pop dotted onto the front of the bkg. paper.  The bkg. paper is also a digi.

I am also adding my card to the Simon Says (Anything Goes) Challenge. 

Have a great day and thanks for coming by and taking a look.

Over the Hills

Hi there.  Here is a card I made for a challenge at Splitcoast a few days ago; to use glitter.  I love this little bunny image from Lawn Fawn.  I coloured him with Copics, cut him out so I could mount him on the hill.  The sentiment is a digital that I added some shiny stars around to highlight it.  Applied a line of glue and added glitter to the hill for some glistening snow....uugghh....not looking forward to the snow.

Thanks so much for coming by and taking a look.

So Sorry

It is never easy to make sympathy cards but I think they mean so much to the person receiving them.  

Here is a card I made using my Copic markers to create the bkg.  It is easy and very effective when using a silhouette stamp.  I added the sentiment and mounted it onto white cardstock to keep the look clean but simple.

I am adding this card to the Simon Says (anything goes) Challenge and the CASology (black) challenge this week.

Thanks so very much for all your most kind comments and emails.  It means the world to me!!

The Spirit of Christmas

It's Saturday and time for another Inspiration Challenge at Splitcoast.  When I saw the cake from Charm City Cakes below, I was off to make a card.  

The trees are from a large bkg. stamp that I stamped, embossed with clear then cut down to make room for the sentiment from Penny Black.  The little bird was stamped, coloured with Copics then cut out to be pop dot mounted.  I think he looks striking against the black bkg.

I am also adding this card to the CASology (Black) Challenge, the Simon Says (Anything Goes) Challenge and the CAS-ual Fridays (Embossed) Challenge. 

Thanks so much for coming by and taking a peek and I hope you have a great weekend.

Happy Neon Birthday

Neon colours.....they make me smile.  Here is a simple card I made for a masking challenge at Splitcoast using some of the wonderful Hero Arts neon colours.  

First I masked the center area then started randomly stamping the paint drips and splatters.  When I was done, I removed the mask, added scoring lines and then stamped the sentiment.  The 'happy' is a diecut from Simon Says.  I am adding this card to the Seize the Birthday challenge and the 'Anything Goes' challenge at Simon Says.

Thanks so much for taking a look.
