All the papers are from my scraps. The spellbinder is called floral oval die.

The butterfly is Martha Steward punch. Added some stickles glitter glue the the butterfly color lavender and some ice stickles glitter glue color grape ice.

I did paper piercing around the hearts and the banners. The alphabet stamps are from Studio G alphabet set, capital letters. The ink I used was from distress ink dusty concord.

The tiny flowers are from Martha Steward hydrangea punch and I only used the tiny ones. The centers used pearl pen color pearl pink. The medium heart is a punch from punch a bunch.

Beauty of Nature in so many ways

Was outside all morning working on the yard, pulled all the weeds, cut the grass and got all the bird feeders cleaned and all filled for the beautiful birds. Makes me feel good when everything looks so nice. So now I need to post the Outlawz Twisted Thursday challenge and for this week it is “ANYTHING GOES WITH THE TWIST OF BINGO”. These stamps on the front are from Inkadinado and the sentiment is from Stampscapes scenic sentiment. Spellbinders label 8 and for the inside labels 3. Embossing folder (sorry) I did not write the name down. Before adding the colors I put the die (frame) on and used removal tape to hold it so it would not move and applied my colors from off the card stock moving across the paper and starting with the lightness color first.

HERE IS THE BINGO CHART

From the chart I did die/punch, stamped image and twine

also die cut/punch, metal and dry embossing. This is an easy chart and we would love for you to join us the week.

Our Sponsor for this month is Digital Delight by Louby Loo.

I think what I’m going to do is just list what I used on the cards, this way you do not have to read it over and over. I know I would not want to do that.

card sizes are 5.50” by  4.25” just standard size

all of the dots are metal but in different colors

on the inside of most of the cards I used All Night Media Large Sprig stamp

All of the card stock is basic grey but in different colors

Martha Steward border punch Deco Schell

Added several different buttons and some ribbons

The inks I used Versafine Onyx Black and Olympia green.

Inks on the front of this one are Mementos, spellbinders label 8. Inkadinkado stamp.

Inks on the front are Brilliance inks, spellbinders labels 5 and labels 3 for the inside. Inkadinkado stamp.

 

This one is different I forgot to add the frame to the edges, I left it and wanted to show you how it looked when you do not add the frame to the edges. What way do you like it? I like it with the frame covering the edges so that gives it borders. Embossing folder Argyle. Spellbinders label 5. Inkadinkado stamp.

Stamp is called flower fancy from Rubber Stampede.

This stamp is from Stampfastic, embossing folder houndstooth.

I had to take a picture of the die because I can not fine a name anywhere on it to tell you what it is called.

These are distress inks, embossing folder perfectly paisley, the flowers I have had forever and added purple gems to the center. Inkadinkado stamp.

I do hope you understand or maybe just enjoy the cards. If you have any questions just ask. I was having so much fun making these cards. Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful day.

Congratulations!!!

My image was from Charmed images and he was called Star time but they have went out of business, that is too bad… They had some darling images. Papers used are from my scraps. Spellbinders classic squares large used two sizes the large and next to large. For the sentiment stampin up modern label punch. The stars 3 different sizes and punched them out.

Added two metal dots, some twine and a button for the ribbon.

For the inside punched the edge with a punch from stampin up but I can’t remember what it is called! Added some of the stars that I had extra. Left the inside open for a written or stamped message.

These are the copic markers used to color the image and the close up of the little boy. Thanks so much for stopping by, your comments mean so much to me.  Hope you have a wonderful week.

Wanted to remind everyone if your thinking about taking any Copic classes now would be a good time.

 

Its a great time to stock up and get some classes you've wanted because there won't be another sale until Christmas and nothing as good as this one :)  And if you buy class(es) now you DO NOT have to start them until you are ready.  That means if you buy 2 classes now and don't have time to start them until October or Nov for example that is FINE.  Class doesn't start until you are ready to start it and it moves at your own pace.  Once you sign into a class through the invite your 1 year term does start though.  So just a thought for you!  If you decide to bundle a few classes email me and I can get you one invoice so you are not troubled with multiple transactions!  See all the Copic Classes at www.scrapbitzcopics.ning.com

My image is called Gemma the Giraffe and is so cute.  My papers are from a 6 by 6 stack of papers put the cover is not on the stack so I do not know what it is called but I think the papers are so cut.The yellow giraffe was part of the paper, I just cut him out.  Also the two stamps for the sentiment I do not know who made them !!

Added stickles glitter glue icicles Viva pearl pen colors turquoise and cream. The little giraffe the is sitting was a button, cut the back off and smooth it out. I do have to say I had so much fun making this card, everything just feel together.

I found this ribbon, is that the most darling ribbon? I got it is from Hobby Lobby. Them I thought about train rides, do you take rides on the train when you go to the Zoo? This is Martha Steward train edger punch. Them I added some faux stitching for the tracks and a little something for the paper edge.

Just a few copic markers. I ended up looking up Giraffe on line to see how they look, I guess I looked at them but never really looked at them (no what I mean) but I could of made them look little more like a red head and their feet blend into more sandy color but he is a cutie!!

I was over at my friend Vicki blog yesterday and she had seen a video about this little boy who is 3 years and going to be 4 and has cancer and he wants LOTS of birthday cards. I could not think of a better place to post this and maybe you would like to post this on your blog also. DOES ANYONE KNOW OF ANYONE THAT MAKES CARDS???? I DO!!!! The young boy has been diagnosed with Neuroblastoma, a rare childhood cancer. Because of the illness, he won’t be able to celebrate in person with a large group of friends.

The address to send a card to is: Gabe Rooker, P.O. Box 403, Amherst, Ohio, 44001.

So if you can help this little guy out and put a BIG smile on his face.

Feel The Breeze Of Summer

First I want to tell you that I can not find my notes for my card so lets see how much I can remember. At the Outlawz Twisted Thursday challenge has started and it is always “ ANYTHING GOES” each week but we ALWAYS ADD A TWIST AND THE TWIST FOR THIS CHALLENGE is a BEACH THEME. For the month of July our sponsor is Digital Delight by Louby Loo.  I know my sentiments are from Digital Delight but I can’t remember what sets they are from (sorry)!! The stamp I used is from Stamp Happens and I do not remember what it is called.

Digital Delight by Louby Loo is your one stop shop for all your digital stamps, paper piecing and digital products which are instantly downloadable. We also have a wide range of digital papers and cut files for all your crafting projects. Our low prices reflect our belief that crafting should not only be fun but affordable too!!

                           I stamped my image on Crygoen white paper with Memento tuxedo black ink. I also stamped the birds and man walking with boy from stampscapes. The paper is from my scraps and I still have a lot left, so working on using it up but I’m sure I will never do that. The ribbon with the buttons is from Spare Parts and you can get them from Hobby Lobby.

The die cut used is Spellbinders decorative labels 22. Used stampen up punch for one sentiment and the birthday one is from marvy uchida it’s the purple one. The red beads are from Want 2 Scrap. Added some cheese cloth from Hobby Lobby.

This punch is from Tim Holtz and the one in the middle is from Fiskars. My girlfriend printed out this sentiment and I just love it so I added it to the inside of the card. Sorry I do not know where it came from. Added some rick rack red and white… I found a big bag of all kinds of colors, what a surprise<..> !! 

The copic markers I used after I took the picture and look at the markers I realized that I did not have my R22, R24 and R29, these are some that I used on the little girls dress. This happens when you have way too much stuff on your work table. So that is my next thing I HAVE TO DO…. Is get my craft room cleaned!!! Things put away. I have so much I want to do and share with you but can’t do it with a messy room. I have been working with metal art and some other projects.

Thanks so much for stopping by. I have my comments all caught up and now I have to stay that way! I appreciate all the lovely comments you leave me. Everyone is so special.
