Homemade…. Eat Turkey!

This is my card for Though the Craft Room Door challenge and I just want to REMIND EVERYONE THE CHALLENHE IS ANYTHING GOES ALL THE TIME! Just in case you forgot. If you do not know what ANYTHING GOES mean let me explain you can enter card/project/ornament/ as long as it is something you created you can enter it. Here is the link you need so you do not need to go looking for it. All you need to do is enter it in the “INLINKS”.  The sponsor for the time is Oak Pond Creations and this in one the Kim’s images and it is called ROOSTER (I think that is a good name for him) and if you like him you can fine him here. Personally I think he is adorable, I do have to tell you I had to look up Roosters on my computer so I could see what they look like. Hey I live in the city, what can I say….. If you have time stop by and check out the other designers creations everyone did an amazing job on their projects. Challenge ends on December 15, 2014.

I’m not good at doing CAS cards but I did want to see if I could do it and I think I pretty much did!

The paper is from Die Cuts with a View (DCWV) Nana’s Kitchen stack. The sentiment was part of the stack. The spellbinder used to cut out the Rooster is called curved rectangles. I do have to tell you I keep wanting to call the Rooster a Chicken, sorry!

Added several glitter dots. Now hope easy is that?

My poor inside, used brilliance ink color orange and several glitter dots but I had to write “EAT TURKEY”, you know how at Thanksgiving time they tell you to eat BEEF, I thought if it said EAT TURKEY that would be funny, well what you think?

These are the copic markers I used to color my Rooster. I wanted to share with you what I did to the ground. I asked my friend (he like to do woodworking to save me some saw dust) and what can I say, a little silly question but he did. So I took the saw dust and mixed with some other stuff I had to make it look like what Roosters would walk in (I think) so this is what I got. Used some diamond glaze to hold everything down and this it what it looks like. It you add just a touch of greens inks it kind of looks like grass.

Here is the close up of the Rooster all colored up.

Want to thank all you beautiful people for stopping by. Hope things are well at your place. Still no snow in Wisconsin (south eastern) I live by beautiful Lake Michigan. So have a super week everyone. Come and join us at Though The Craft Room Door.

Wonderful time of the year!

O do hope you are having a wonderful week end. I want to share my card with you that I made for The Progressive Freebie Group it is listed under Challenges at the top of the Main Page then
you will need to register to play. By sending us an email to outlawzprogressivechallenge@gmx.com with your full name and email address and we will make sure you get your free image. Once you register and get your image and make a card using that image that you are sent each and every month (you will get the image the first of every month) so watch out for your junk mail or something that looks a little different it might be the image and it will come from a different artist each month. You will have a hold month to make your card but remember if you do NOT make a card you will NOT get the next month image. So you need to be on top of this each month. For this month the image is from Simple Betty Stamps she is called Tangled Wednesday.

So this is my card I created for the challenge. If you would like to see what the designer made with their image you can check here.  You still have time to join, right! How long does it take you to make a card?

My Paper is from Kaisercraft Dear Santa collection. Added a doily

This is just a closer look at the memory die cut called winterland tree. On the bottom I added some Aleene’s snow. I punched out a few snow flakes with a tiny punch.

This sage I made a couple years ago and I have a couple left. So added it on top of the Christmas ribbon.

the SCACD Holiday Inspiration Day

Today is a special day at SCACD it is A Holiday Inspiration Day and several of us got together and thought we would use some of the amazing digital images Susana has in her store that the artist Carmen Medlin has done. The image I have is called Winter Guardian. When I seen this one I just fell in love with her but there are several I really love. Plus she is having a SALE going on right now. So stop by SCACD store and see what is going on. Susana also has a Blog with all kinds of inspiration on it.

Spellbinder grand nestabilities scalloped, I cut out several of the sizes. Folded them in half. The paper was from my stash. This is really not a card it opens up as you will see and you can hang it on the wall. I explain about the stickers below but I used 3 trees and 5 gifts and several of the stars.

I used some Brilliance ink color white around the edges.

I added some of Aleene’s true snow and a hold lot of Martha Steward crystal fine glitter. This is the project open up and the way it would look on the wall.

These are the copic markers I used to color the image.

Here are some little closer pictures of the image. I added pear pen color ice white to the background. Some flower gems in blue to the trees. Very tiny white pearls to the button of her dress. I do hope you can see that it is a little 3D, everything is raised. I colored my image first and them I added the crystal fine glitter until it was smooth and them colored a little over what I already colored.

These are the stickers I used, they are from Starform transport glitter #3216. I put the stickers on white card stock and cut them out. The gift packages I put on blue and a peach color and cut them out.

I hope you enjoyed my project. Hope you can stop and see some of the other projects. Have a wonderful day.

Cold Winter

Burrrrr, that sounds like a cold title. But it is time for Scrapy Land challenge#7 and the challenge this time is ANYTHING GOES, using any brand of die that Scrapy Land sells so stop by and check out all the brands Srapy Land sales. The challenge started today and it ends December 17th. If you want stop by and see all the wonderful cards and projects the designers have created over at the blog. The first thing I did was create by background. I used Brilliance inks pads these are the colors yellow, orchid, beige, orange, 0live, ivy, sky blue, mediterranean blue.

Once I have my colors together I pounced out a 1 inch circle Eclipse paper (it is for masking) and place my sun/moon about where I wanted it to be. Them I always start with my real dark colors for the visional line you would see in the far background, I use a straight piece of paper, using the brilliance ink mediterranean blue for the far sky line and the ivy for the the ground line. You can also make your own sky  templates, just take a piece of paper and tier it across kind of up and down. Using your template you can create all kinds of different shapes in the shy. You do need to remember to take your Eclipse paper off and what I get is a big white spot so I try using some yellow, orange, sky blue to fill that in. 

Once I had added enough color to the shy, I picked out a couple of stamps, using them for the edges and I wanted to add some birds. Some times I add some white to the leaves that’s kind of nice because it give the leaves some detail. My stamps are from Stampsscapes, I love Stampscapes stamps they have some amazing ones that can help you create all kinds od scenes. So I want to us these die cuts Impression Obsession die079-U that is the Trees and Impression Obsession die0810-N deer. So if you would like to check at the store you can go here. 

I cut the trees out and I added some C01 to the open area on the birch trees and them I added some stickles star dust for some sparkle. No real reason why I cut the deer out in white, I guess I just wanted to. Added Aleene’s true snow on the ground area and some diamond dust from Twinklet’s. As you can see I did not do much with the inside. Just sponged around some of the edges.

I hope you have had a nice day. Here is Wisconsin today it was nice sunny day and we have no snow but I sure we will have some for Christmas. How you doing with you shopping? Did you go out on Black Friday? I stayed home with the grandkids and we made cookies. Found out yesterday Isaiah (grandson) will be coming home for Christmas this year, can you believe he is a junior in high school this year and I just found out that he has just got his 2 degree in black belt, I so proud of him. No girlfriends yet, I tell him keep it that way but he has been asked to some dance they have coming up that the girls ask the guys. Well have a nice evening. Take care and be safe. Oh I wanted to say if you have any questions let me know. I will do a tutorial on the Tent card for you several of you have asked.

Twisted Thursday cards

 

The Twisted Thursday challenge over at the Outlawz has started and I want to show you what I have created, I have to say I’m sorry (again) for not getting them out right away but we have had some not so good things happen and I really do not want to get into to it and I really do not think you want to be upset and I know that is what it will do. So we will talk about creating cards but this is a tag… I seen this image and I just fell in love with it, I think it is adorable it is one by Aurora Wings and it is called  Christmas Tree Spirit with a Gingerbread man. It was so much fun to color and add some decorations to it and to make it 3D. That is our Twist for this challenge WINTER SPARKLES AT CHRISTMAS. 

Not sure if you can see but I added Martha Steward train edger across the tag.  The paper I used is from DCWV winter solstice stack. I loved the blue so I added blue and diamond gems.

These are the copic markers I used to color the tree. My stickers are from EK Success.

 

Here is the close up od the image and I printed 3 of the little tree and cut all 3 out. Added a little star dust stickles and just a little snow.

These tags are so much fun. Have you seen the tags over at the Ellen Huston Blog they are having the 12 days of Christmas tags going on. I just love most of the tags, I really love Day 7 Paula Cheney, Day 9 Teri Anderson, Day 10 Sharon Harnist, Day 4 Kittie Caracciolo, oh my I could go on and on I guess I love all of them. Why do you check for yourself.

This is what is called a Tent card. The sentiment is called MERRY CHRISTMAS HOLLY #2 and the ornaments CHRISTMAS ORNAMENT #1  are from Stitchy Bear.

Everything is colored with Gelly Roll star pens and Wink of Stella pens.

Spellbinders standard circles large to cut the circle out. Memory box pine needle border die. Added some Aleene’s true snow. Flower punch 6 petal. This is how the tent card look from the sides.

Added 3 holly leafs and some seed beads in red to the ornaments.

Close up of the ornaments.

Punched out some tiny snow flakes and added them. My ribbon is from the Christmas section at Hobby Lobby.

The flower punch is the 6 petal one and added some seed beads color red to the center.

Close up of the sentiment.
