Smile!

This year is just flying by, it’s almost the middle of June and most of my flowers have not bloomed yet. Sure has been a cool spring. I do not know if you are like me, I like the cooler temps. I’m not one for the 90’s plus temps. I lived in Phoenix for awhile and did not like that at all but my Dad love it, he was their 45 years. Just what??? It’s Delightful Thursday that means all the wonderful designers at Digital Delight have created some inspiring cards for you to look at. My image is called Say Cheese Paul and the sentiment come from summer of smiles sentiment set.

We can’t forget that The Outlawz Twisted Thursday challenge started today and it is always Anything goes but the twist for this week is MASCULINE card. Nice time to make a Father’s Day card.

Used a spellbinder called romantic rectangle die to cut the image out. The check frame stamp is from Hero Arts. I stamped it with Staz On ink colors olive green and mustard. The papers used are from my scraps. Added two different sizes of metal dots. 

The punch is from Fiskars and I have no idea what the name. I want to tell you about these Fiskars border punches, I would not recommend them to anyone, I have had so many of them brake on me.  The handle they have brakes right off or they will not punch. Please do not waist your money…  Just wanted to let you know what I think.  Left it open for a hand written message or a stamped message.

Here are the copic markers used to color the image and the close up.

The challenge for this week is…. Here come the SUN!!! (Summer theme or add the Sun)

Thanks so much for stopping by.  I always like to hear from you, you make my day special.

Journey is just beginning

The Color Me Creative Challenge #70 has started and the theme is all about GOROEOUS BRUNETTES HAIR/FUR. The challenge ends June 21 at 8:00pm. Our sponsor is DIGI MY WORLD and the image I used is g12752-3. The sentiment is from ginger house it was a free one so time ago.

The papers used are from my scraps, I had some travel papers. Distressed around the edges and also used distressed ink color brushed corduroy. 

Spellbinders floral oval die cut to cut out the image. The sentiment marvy uchida punch (blue). The watch face is from krystal klear hardware, I found these watch faces at CHA last year at a booth for Gary M Burlin & Co. he is out of Cleveland Ohio and I tried to find the email on line, with his name this is what I found, it is a scrapbook place and I was going to try and find them but they have so much so here is the link if you want to see what they have.  I do not have anything like the Eiffel tower so I found this 3D sticker and thought it worked well with the image.

On the inside added some bards I had and also put a few on the front. A few flowers together and stapled together with Tim Holtz’s stapler. Stamped a few leaves with Personal Stamp Exchange or PSX that is out of business. Left open for a written message or a stamped massage.

The copic markers that I used to color my image and here is the close up of the image. I was not very happy with her hair, I was having problems with the E30, E35 & E39 so I put on new tips and I hope the next time I use them they will work just fine.

Thanks so much for stopping by. Hope all is well in your neck of the woods.

Bee my little Berry

It is that time again for Delightful Thursday at Digital Delight and for this week we are displaying all the NEW IMAGES FOR THE MONTH OF JUNE. My images is called STRAWBERRY BARNABY and THE SENTIMENT IS FROM THE SUMMER OF SMILES SET.  Also at The Outlawz Twisted Thursday the challenge has started and for this week the twist is to add an ANIMAL TO YOUR CARD.

When I was making my card I was thinking is a Bee (bug) an animal? I do not think so, it is an insect, right! Oh well… Maybe the worm is???

For the sentiment I punched them out with marvy uchida yellow and blue punch. The little bees is a die from Elizabeth craft design.  Rounded all the corners using zutter corner rounder. I’m so glad we can color things the way we want because for some reason I did not want to color him with grays, so I used yellows.

The paper is from die cuts with a view it is the sweet stack with glitter.  Brilliance ink sky blue for the background. Stickles glitter glue colors diamond and firefly.

Here you can see Martha Steward infinite loops punch, I also added it to the front of the card but you really can’t see it under the strawberry's. Added savannah border die from memory box to the loops.

The strawberry die is from spellbinders borderabilities fresh fruit border petites. I cut it out twice, once in red glitter paper and again in green glitter paper. I cut the strawberries off and glued them to the green paper. I did cut them out with just red paper and I did not like them at all. This is much better.

These are the copic markers used to color the image. Close up of the image.

Friends

It is Delightful Thursday at Digital Delight and all the designers have created some exceptional cards for you this week. So if you can stop by can check them out. The images I used for my card are called Dilly duck and lady bug and ticket sentiments.  Digital Delight is looking for some designers to fill their design team, if you are interested just stop over and read what is required and sent an email to Wendy. It is a great way to meet some awesome designer, have a lot of fun and have lots of benefits.

The papers I used are from my scraps. We sure get a lot, don’t we? Added what they call bubble dots. They come in all kinds of colors but I want to tell you if you have the clear ones use your markers copic’s work great but if you have sharpie markers, they come in all colors and work get to color these little bubbles. If you have a Michaels they have them in the floral department and if you use a coupon you can get 40% off and they last forever.

Added some twine colors red, green and yellow. For the sky I used my template I have and the ink is from Brilliance color sky blue.  If you do not have a template you can make one yourself, all you have to do is tear your paper, in a waving motion (not crazy) and keep the other end as a straight line, you can use that for your way far edge of the sky. Hope you understand!!  The scalloped squares are Marvy Uchida (purple) punch.

I used Martha Steward lady bug border punch. My little lady bugs are tiny stickers, thought they would be so cute. As always inside is left open for added message or a stamped message.

These are the copic used to color my image… I know I say this all the time but you know what will happen when I do not say it someone new will stop by and look at the marker and wonder by they are their. Here is the close up of the image.
