He love me He love me not

Over at Stamper Quest I did a tutorial on How to make this Magic Card so if you would like to see how to do it you will have to go to Stamper Quest Monochromatic Magic: Pat’s View  an see how it is done. If you like it they have a printer friendly button and you can print the instruction out. If you try and make one and if you have any questions just let me know and I will help you. I also did a Origami Diamond Fold Card over at Stamper Quest and the instructions on how to make that card are their also.

Thanks for stopping by and I do hope you like my card. It was a lot of fun to make.

** 3 Magnolia Stamps of their choice from Magnolia-licious

***1 pack of Cryogen Cardstock

 

Copic Markers I used are:Skin E11, E00, E50. Blouse and Shoes E42, E41. Handel on the Umbrella E31, E30. Hair E19, E18, E08, E02. Pants and Umbrella BV00, BV000, BV0000.  On the Umbrella I also used a little G00, Y00 and to give the darker lines or the distressed look I used W3. I sponged around Tilda  with Brilliance ink Lavender. I used some Diamond Glaze and added a touch of Deco Art Glamour Dust to give some sparkle to look like rain drops. Corner rounder from Making Memories. Stampin’ up Word Window punch for the sentiment. Three Silver dots I made from The Pearl Pen.

The paper I have in the background is called Parchment Paper. This is what is called a Parchment Craft. I had followed a pattern, you put your parchment paper over the pattern and I traced the flowers with white ink by keeping the pen in an up the upright position to keep the lines as fine as possible. Then you turn over the paper and place it on the soft side of a embossing pad. Very carefully go over the flowers petals and embossing all the flowers. I did add some Stickles Star Dust to give my flowers some sparkle. When you do the entire card it is just stunning.

Thanks for stopping by. I always love comments. Let me know what you think, I love hearing from you.

Harry Potter

My grandson has been reading all of Harry Potter Books and he enjoys the books so I thought I would make his birthday card this year with Harry Potter on it. I found this wonderful drawing in the coloring book section for Harry Potter. Their are a lot of wonderful coloring book pictures so it was hard to choose. I do want to mention that it said the drawing was by Eruadan, what a stunning job. I just love the drawing.

Fly with me

Happy Monday to everyone. I hope everyone had a wonderful week end. In a way it was a sad one remembering all that happened 10 years ago, the things all Americans have lost but then it is good to see that people have moved on with their lives. This will never be forgotten and I personally think they are doing a wonderful job in New York City to preserve everything so for generations to come they w8ill be able to understand what had happen. God bless everyone one of those families and all of our Soldiers.

Have a Magical Day

We are starting Challenge #26 at Color Me Creative Classroom and if you color your images with copic markers you are invited to join in on our challenge. We love to see all levels of work and our theme for our challenge is FALL OR HALLOWEEN. Our challenge will end on September 16, 2011 at 8pm.
Here are some samples for the FALL THEME and for the HALLOWEEN THEME. Our Sponsor for this challenge is THE STAMP FAIRY you can win a $15.00 gift certificate for her store and Suzanne is giving away a Package of Cryogen Cardstock. These are some great prizes.

The type of card I made is called a Spinner card. You can fine the directions here to make one yourself, they are easy to make and the kids just love them. What happens if you have never seen one is the sentiment spins around from side to side when you more the card and spins. The images I used are all from Stamp Fairy the house is called Halloween 2, Tommy Wizard was a Freebie sentiment, Tommy Wizard #1 and Pumpkin was also a Freebie. I had merged all my image together and after I did that The Stamp Fairy came out with the Pumpkins so I cut them out for the card.

To create the area for the spinner.
Stampin’ Up punch called Word Window.
Stampin’ Up 1 1/2 inch to punch out the sentiment.Stampin’ Up.
One Stampin’ Dimensional self adhesive foam mounts, they work really well because of the shape.
I also use one penny that gives a little weight so it moves real easy.

NOW WHEN YOU ARE PUTTING THE SPINNER TOGETHER.

You punch out the area were you want for the spinner to be then you put (I used my sentiment) on the front of the card and the pull the paper off the foam mount and stick that to the sentiment and now pull the foam mount off the other side and stick that to the penny. You are going to have to put foam tape all around your card so it is lifter up so your spinner has room to spin. You can more your card side to side and see the spinner spin. I only made a small area for the spinner you can make your area as big as you want. DONE.

Here is the close up of the images. Roof E17, E15, E13, E11. Front B14, B12, B000. Window and Sentiment Y15, Y13, Y11. Door and Owl E37, E35, E34, E33. Pumpkins YR68, YR65, YR61. Stem E34, E35. Grass, Leaf and Wizard shirt YG67, YG63, YG61. Wizard Jacket and Hat C9, C7, C5, C3, C1, C00, Pants BG75, BG72. Shoes E35, E31, E30. Hair E31, E30,YR21. Skin E11, E00. Background BG0000, BG000, BG10, B91.
Thanks for stopping by. I hope everyone had a wonderful Labor Day and got some need rest. We went from the 90’s over night to the 60’s the next day. I’ll take the 60’s anytime I love summer but I hate it when you can not enjoy it because it is so HOT and humid it is no fun. Have a great week everyone.

G is for?

Welcome to my blog! I have to tell you have been making comments on other blogs and I do have to said sometimes it is hard to see their card when they leave their card so small even when you click on their card to make it bigger the card does not get much bigger.
