I’m Back!

June 30, 2009

I haven’t posted much lately, however, I’ve been busy making cards for the 2009 Fall/Winter release at Whipper Snapper Designs. They launched their new stamps yesterday and I know you’ll like what you see. I sure did!

Between the many birthdays and celebrations that June held, I was able to find time to make a card with this adorable image by Sugar Nellie Stamps. It reminds me of the Holly Hobbie comforter set I used to have as a little girl. Although you can’t see it in the picture, I used pink, gold and blue Spica glitter pens for some subtle sparkle. The image was colored with Copic markers and then airbrushed to add some softness. I tied the taffeta ribbon into a bow and used a few small squares of Scor Pal tape to hold the little loop in place. DP is from K&Co and the card base and accent color are both from PaperTrey Ink.

Thanks for looking! Come on back as I will be posting new card samples from Whipper Snapper!

Sweet Asian Doll – SC231

June 3, 2009

This card is for the Sketch Challenge over at SCS today. I used some clear stamps by Hero Arts and kept it simple with a few Primas and ribbon. I colored the image with Copic markers and accented her with Spica glitter pens. The ribbon is Martha Stewart and the DP is from K&Co. I like the colors in this card. Thanks for looking!

Brown & Pink

June 2, 2009

This stamp set is from Tim Holtz and is one of his clear sets. I was pleasantly surprised to find that the quality was pretty close to PaperTrey Ink, Kitchen Sink Stamps, and other companies who have high quality clear stamps. I embossed the main image and then did lots of airbrushing and distressing. Card base is DCWV and Pink Pirouette (Stampin’ Up). Ribbon is from PaperTrey Ink and the flowers (Prima) and pearls (Martha Stewart) I picked up at Michaels. Enjoy your week!

Bloomin’ Beautiful

June 2, 2009

This card was made using an image sent to me by my friend, Carol. I never really thought I needed this set but I’ll have to consider it now, this flower was so fun to color. I used Copic markers to color it and then airbrushed the background. I sewed a crazy border and then used Copic markers to color the thread. Such a simple way to color match! LOL! DP is from a retired pack from Stampin’ Up. Thanks for looking!

Green Pears

June 2, 2009

Lockhart stamps have some really fun and unique stamps. This is one of their images. I kept it pretty simple, with just the image and some DP. The pears were colored with Copic markers and the DP is from PaperTrey Ink. Thanks for looking!

Feelin’ Sick Without You

June 2, 2009

Have you ever felt this way? *laughing* Okay, so I have been love sick before (with my husband, of course) but I can’t say I have ever felt this sick. This little critter isn’t doing so well, but isn’t he cute? This stamp is from Whipper Snapper and would make some great get well cards. There are some great samples in the SCS Gallery using this stamp.

The image was colored with Copic markers and then masked and airbrushed. The background was embossed with a Cuttlebug embossing folder and the image is attached using dimensionals. Card base is River Rock (retired, Stampin Up) and Always Artichoke for the mat. Thanks for looking!

Memorial Day Card

June 2, 2009

This was my Memorial Day card, and it is not what I started out with. I almost threw it out as it was almost completely ruined, but I tried to save it anyway. Here is my feeble attempt. I stamped the background with a Scrap Block from Cornish Heritage Farms and embossed the eagle and stars (Land That I Love, Stampin’ Up). The card stock was sewed, airbrushed and then distressed. Hemp twine (from Archiver’s) was added last.

Baby Pooh Card

June 2, 2009

For this card I used the Pooh Font cartridge (Cricut), Home Decor for the stars, and Zooballoo for the clouds. I accented it with Copic markers and a white gel pen. DP is from PaperTrey Ink and some sheer ribbon completed it. I still think I’m missing something, but making cards using only the Cricut (no stamps) has always been hard for me. Thanks for looking!

Beach Bum

June 2, 2009

Another card using Anna’s new release, Beach Bum . I used the Zooballo cartridge (Cricut) to cut the waves and a white gel pen to add some accents. The waves and sky were airbrushed and the image was colored with Copic markers. This guy in his tube just cracks me up. Thanks for looking!
