A Little Birdie told me…..

Hello everyone, I hope you all had a wonderful week end. The challenge at The Outlaws twisted Thursday has started and the twist for this challenge is to add a window to your card.  The is one of Mo Manning images and it is called A LITTLE BIRDIE TOLD ME. I thought it would be nice to make a step card, here is the link if you would like to make one also. There is no inside for this kind of card but if you wanted to write something you could do that on the back.

The sentiments used on the card are from Crackerbox Palace Rubber Stamp Store and I punched then out with stampin up 1 1/4 scallop circle and scallop oval.  The paper used is from stampin up. The flowers mini and small punch a bunch and the heart is mini punch a bunch. Added some liquid pearls color pink to the center of the flowers. Memory box leafy branch and Cherry Lynn designs tropical flourish.

The bird I made with stampin up bird punch it is a Lazuli Bunting. My girlfriend and I get together and make a bunch of birds. I get the magazine Birds and Bloom and they have some of the most beautiful birds so we try very hard to copy the birds that are in the magazine. I also thought he would look so cute up their.

On the bottom is a green and white decorative trim from Hobby Lobby.

Copic markers used to color the image. I do think this image is just adorable.

Thanks for stopping by. Have a wonderful week.

To My Valentine

This has been a crazy week and I’m so sorry that this is getting posted so late. I made my card and gift box for Twisted Thursdays challenge but I just had so many things to do I could not get it posted. The gift box is an SVG file and is very easy to make. My card I used stamps from Stampendous they are from their Flower Heart Set.

The heart and the corner is the set of stamps. The sentiment is also from Stampendous but I do not know what it is called. I ended up stamping it twice because of course the first time I stamped it it was not straight so I used some foam dots and mounted it on top of where I stamped it.

Added some Ice Stickles to the flowers color grape ice. The paper used was from my scraps.

Distress ink for the sides color dusty concord.

Corner decoration heart punch and added the heart to the purple strip.  Flower is from my stash.

These are Marvy Brush markers, they are a watercolor base. These markers you color right on the stamps with them. Starting with the darkest color adding in some areas and working down to a lighter color.  After you have added your colors (ink) to the stamp you breath where you have added the ink, what that does is activates (make it wet) the ink again so now you can stamp your stamp on your card stock. I tried to find a video for the marvy brush markers and I could not find anything for the brush markers, sorry!!! If you do not understand what I’m saying let me know.

Tried to get a close up. Thought maybe you could see some of the difference colors.

Side view of the gift box.

Corner view of the gift box.

All the flowers I had in my stash, trying to use things up. Branch is Martha Steward, Punch a Bunch Mega Rock Fern and Punch a Bunch Ash Leaf.

My card is a little different this time and I hope you like it. Thanks for stopping by and have a great week.

Memories are stitched with Love

We are having a challenge at Color Me Creative and it is all about Texture so I created this card it is a SVG file from Digital Delight and is called Sewing card. The image is Patch and is from The Stamp Fairy, I thought they look so cute together. The sentiment is from Clear dollar stamp.  Add ribbon around the spool and the measuring tape is also a ribbon. The small spool is from my stash and so is the mini scissors.

The paper used is from Die Cuts With A View and it is The Crafty stack.  The buttons on the outside of the card are brads.

The scissor on the inside come with the SVG file and added several real buttons and faux stitching.

Here are the copic markers used to color the image and the blue pen used for the stitching.

Thanks so much for stopping by. Hope you had a nice week end and if you got snowed in hope things are fine and you are all plowed out. Happy crafting everyone!!!

Spring into Happiness

Happy Thursday to everyone, it is so pretty out side here in South Eastern Wisconsin, it is snowing and the weather man calls it a Alberta Clipper, it’s the kind of snow that sticks to the trees and when the sun come out it is breath taking because it sparkles. When it is all done the weather man says we should have 6 inches our biggest snow fall for this year. Unbelievable we live in Wisconsin this is like nothing. I do enjoy the snow and my grand kids are so happy they can build a real snowman.  Over at Digital Delight we are having a Delightful Spring Release so you can seeing all the new spring images. The images I used for my card are Flower Power Daisy, Egg Tree and Spring Sentiments.

The card I made for this release is called a WHIPPER CARD if you would like to make one here are the directions. It is a fun card to make on the top you can see another sentiment when you move the card that sentiment goes up and down. I cut both images out with The Silhouette Cameo. Created the background with distress inks by sponging the inks. Colors tumbled glass, chipped sapphire, stormy sky, bundled sage, peeled paint and wild honey.

Used some pearl pen light blue and bronze for the middle of the border flowers. The border punch is Martha Steward called flower lace edger. The papers used are from The Paper studio and Bazzil Basic.

This is somewhat of a top view. Added Stickles color waterfalls

The card does lay flat and you can tuck the whipper inside the back. The card is 9 inches by 5 1 /2 long.

These are the copic markers used to color the image.

The egg tree is all done in glitter. The butterfly is from Wild Orchid Crafts, to make it stand up I glued it to a piece of bendable plastic and them applied it to the background so it would stand up. Added some pearl pen color ice pearl.

In the center of the flowers I added Beadazzle by Suze Weinberg’s called tango. I tried to find a link for her beadazzles, I know she worked for Ranger but could not find any thing. These little beadz last forever.

Thanks so much for stopping by. Have a wonderful day.

With Love

The paper I used is from A Mused studio and I added a red heart doily. I know this is cards for men but I’m pretty sure this would work for a guys card. Their was all kinds of hearts around the image so I thought I would add some gem hearts but I do think it is a little much but Emma my granddaughter will love it anything that sparkles. 

Sorry the sentiment is a digi and I do not know where I got it from.

Added some Liquid Applique (white) to the ice cream to try and give a whip cream look on it.

This is what I did to the inside. The heart is felt.

These are the copic markers used to color the image.

I do hope you can join us for this challenge we would love to see your creation. Thank again for stopping by. Stay warm.
