Late at night

For this week over at The Outlawz Twisted Thursday the twist on the challenge is to make a masculine card. I know at lot of people find it hard to make a masculine card but it would be nice it you would give it a try because we would love to see your creations. I used an image from Stitchy stamps called Bark at night and Teri is the artist she has created several scene that are just beautiful.  The designer paper used is from Basics patterned Bazzill Basics.

On the top right and bottom left add one metal corner on each side had them in my stash. The wolf head was a button.

Add a total of 10 dark blue brads. Ribbon is from Michaels and I used the Bow easy to make a double bow. Add some cheesecloth. The spellbinder is called A2 matting Basic A, works wonderful for creating a frame. On the wolf nose added diamond glaze for some shine.

Burnished around the edges with Brilliance ink Mediterranean blue. Martha Steward punch called infinite loops trim. Both sentiments are from a set of stamps from Fiskars called Make a Wish. Made this card for my son his birthday is this month. So I added a sentiment.

The copic markers used to color the wolf. I also used Peddles Pearlecents Chalks, Gelly Roll clear star pen on the background. For the trees added Aleen’s pure snow and Twinklets diamond dust to make the snow sparkle. Close up of the image. I think this wolf is just stunning.

Thanks for stopping by. Have a wonderful week end.

Chickie

Welcome everyone to Hostess Monday for Digital Delight. This week I have a chance to do a project and share it with everyone. This little guy is called CHICK BOX and he is just adorable.

Chick Box is a SVG Delightful Cut file. Of course I have to add my touches.

Chick Box SVG Delightful Cut

Here are the side views of this little guy.

These are the supplies I used to make him just adorable.

First I printed him out on my printer. With colored card stock. I do not think I show the wiggle eyes here.

I scored, cut  and glued the box.

Cut out all the pieces.

Then I decided I wanted to distress the edges.

Thought he might look cute with some Faux stitching.

So them I start putting him together and adding the feathers. All the directions comes with the file. It would be nice to see what you could do with your little Chick Box.

You can fill him with anything. I didn't have any candy or Easter stuff so I filled him with some flowers.

Thanks so much for stopping by. Have a wonderful week everyone.

First of all I think I’m going crazy……. Really…… I hope this card does not post 3 times because I uploaded 1 of the cards and pushed publish… WHY, have no idea, so I deleted it off my blog. So I started again and I got 2 of my pictures of the cards uploaded and went right up and pushed publish…… WHY, have no idea, so I deleted them off my blog again, see what I mean!!! I’m loosening it, right??? On top of all of that I should of uploaded my card days ago. I just have to much on my mind. I do not know, can’t make excuses for myself. My card is for Color Me Creative Challenge #59 and it is all about PASTELS. It ends on January 18 at 8:00pm. So you still have time to enter the challenge if you would like and we would love to see your card. We have a sponsor and that is Paper Make Up Stamps and the name of my image is Moody For Flowers, they have some wonderful images so stop by and check then out.

Added Brilliance ink purple around the image and inside also. My flower at from Wild Orchid crafts and so is the butterfly. Added some cheesecloth and some Stickles Ice color grape ice.

My paper is from Basic Grey.

The punch I used on the inside is from Creative Memories. Let the inside open for a sentiment or you can write in a message.

These are the copic markers I used to color the image. Sorry my V17 has some ink on it, did not catch it. I do not now how often you clean you copics but that is a job in it self. Here is the close up of the image all colored. I think it looks so pretty with this fading frame around it.

Hope your week end is going well. It was in the 50’s today… Now that is done our temps are going back to normal the weather man says and that is in the upper 20’s although who can believe the weather man???? Way too funny! Now I think I can post this…

There’s no people like snow people

Happy New Year to everyone. Have you made your new year resolution yet? I have several and so far I’m doing pretty good. I think everyone does the weight loss one but I’m going to start going thru my house and if I fine things we have not used in the last couple of years, out it goes or in the rummage sale. Also last year I did not buy much craft products because I have so much stuff (only things I use every day like tape, glue) so the same goes for this year, I need to use up what I have. I have to admit I did buy one big thing and that was the Silhouette Cameo. So I’m going to be good at least try. Pray for me…. This is my first card for 2013 and we are having our challenge at The Outlawz Twisted Thursday and the Twisted for this week challenge is “SNOW PEOPLE”!!! Not much snow here in Wisconsin, I can’t believe I’m saying that. North of us have lots of snow but I live in the south east corner and we have had not much snow so far. So I used one of Karen’s Doodles images called “First Snowfall”. I can see all the kids out side just enjoying the first snow. My granddaughter Emma (age7) was here several days ago and she was all excited and she say grandma it’s snowing  hay….. and about half an hour later it stopped and she was disappointed we did not get any snow. 

I used some Cheesecloth. The ribbon is holiday ribbon bow-tique from Michaels.

My sentiment is a stamp from Hampton Stamps. I have had it for many of years. The paper was from a DCWV Christmas winter pack.

Snowflakes from the Christmas section. Distress ink Stormy Sky.

The punch was mitten from Punch a Bunch. Inside area left open to add a sentiment or a written message.

Copic markers used to color the image. I used white liquid applique on the girl left it white and on the baby colored it YG67 and on the boy colored it BG78. I also used some diamond glaze and just sprinkled some sparkly snow over it.

I sure hope everyone has a wonderful NEW YEAR…  So super big hug to everyone and make it the best year ever. My God bless everyone! Thanks so much for stopping.
