Our awesome sponsors this month are:

Nicecrane Designs

My image came from this sheet of Vintage woman’s
and Paper Temptress

http://www.papertemptress.com/

The spellbinder used to cut the image out is called labels four. The designer paper is one sheet I found, so I do not know who made it. The paper does have all kinds of sparkles.

On the inside I add some diamond mesh texture and some gold corners I have had in my stash.

This was a pin that lost a stone so I added some orange stickles several times and each time I would let it dry until it filled the opening. Added a mesh with some pearls.

Here is a close up of the image, they are so pretty and they come already colored.

and I have here another sheet of nicecrane beautiful birds. This was for a challenge for the first day of Spring.

used an embossing folder from Sizzix called leaves with branches. Stampin up punch called modern label extra large for the sentiment and the sentiment is from the Angel company.

Another side view of the card. Here is the sheet of the other designs that come with these birds.

used the laurel leaf from Martha Steward and embossed the paper on the inside. These are so easy to make because the images are already colored and to me that is so different but if you need a card in a hurry these images are wonderful.

Thanks so much for stopping by and have a wonderful week end.

Antique Buggy

 

  Have some time today to share one of my cards with everyone, I never get a chance to make baby cards very often.  So I really enjoyed making this card it is for a friend that was having a baby boy and he has a special name it Jackson. The stamp I used is from I Brake for Stamps store and it is called antique buggy.

The spellbinder die I used is called gold labels four. I embossed the buggy with detail black embossing power. My paper is from DCWV but this came from my scraps but it has all kinds of sparkles and I can’t remember what it is called. Added some soft blue ribbon, made a tiny bow and used some lace.

Used one of the bubble caps and stamped BOY with brilliance ink color sky blue. Sponged around the buggy with the brilliance sky blue ink. Placed 3 blue gems in the upper 2 corners.

The sentiment is one I have had and I have no idea what stamp company makes it. This die cut is from the same set and added some metal blue dots on the bottom corners.

Here is the close up of the antique buggy. I love the buggy it is so elegant and stamps beautifully.

Thanks so much for stopping by. I hope you enjoyed my card. It always helps to get organized so I’m glad about that. As I’m learning more and more each day, how to care for someone that needs your help. I do have some cards done but it is hard to do anymore but I will try! From Wisconsin to Texas big change in weather, no snow and the temp was 84 degrees.

I want to let everyone know

Sorry no cards have been posted for awhile. I’m down in Austin Texas helping my SIL and brother Bill for awhile. I do have cards to post and they are going to be late and I’m sorry about that but as life goes on family always comes first. Georgianna had brain surgery last  September and had a large tumor removed. She has been thought a lot of therapy and has improved some but not much. Still needing a lot of help. So that is why I’m here, so life will be crazy for a little while these are thing we all do. Sending my love to all my wonderful followers and want to let you know I have not forgot about you. I will try and get some things posted for you as I can!

Hugs, Patricia

 

Lady in Green Hat

Friday sure came fast this week, as all way been busy but I want to tell you that I’m going back to Austin Texas to help my brother and my sister in law. If you are new stopping by. My sister in law had major surgery in Sept 2013 and had a large tumor removed from the top of her head and has had a hard time. She still needs a lot of help, she can talk, move her arms, fingers and neck. So I want to give my brother a little brake because she can not be left along. I will try an get all my cards done and share some things with everyone. Try and keep up with everything.
The Outlaws Twisted Thursday challenge for this week is anything goes as always but the twist is to make a card or project with your favorite color. I love different shades of green.

A Place on Earth

I’m so happy you stopped by today.  I have created a masculine card for you this week. I know that a lot of crafters have a hard time doing masculine cards. Let me tell you, I personally have never had a problem with them and in fact I love creating them. My family when I was a young girl all I had was brothers, my Mom had all brothers, my Dad had all brothers and when I got married we had all sons. I do have to put this in their I have 2 grand sons and 1 granddaughter finally!!!

How most of my cards turn out sometimes is a surprise to me, when I start a card I never know what I’m going to do. This stamp you can find at  I Brake for Stamps Store. My stamp is called Silhouette Bear, I love all kinds of silhouettes. This stamp is so awesome I did not want to take anything away from it. The frame I have had for a very on time, they where made to use on ATC (Artist Trading Cards) and I use to make a lot of ATC’s and trade then. With the size of the stamp made me think of those frames and it fix perfect. So that is how I got the red, black and white theme.

The sentiment is written on Vellum and though it was perfect with this theme. Made some circles with my circle cutter so I could add some layers. All my card stock is basic, nothing fancy. Added black metal dots to the corners. Red metal dots to the inside. Left the center open for a stamped message or a written message.

I took the close up so you could see how the frame is. These come in all kinds of colors. I stamped the silhouette bear with versafine onyx black ink.

Flowers for a Friend

Welcome back and I hope you had a nice week end. The Color Me Creative challenge #88 has started and the challenge ends on March 14 8:00pm.

Your challenge this time is all about

~Flaming Reds~

Our Fabulous Sponsor is Art by Miran

If you have not been by you really have to check out her GORGEOUS images

THE PRIZE FOR THIS CHALLENGE IS:

3 Digis of your choice!!

The image I used is called Isabel’s Bouquet and you can fine her by Art  by Miran. The paper I used for my card is DCWV it is the Mariposa stack. I seen this card and I loved the layout but where I seen it they did not tell you how to make it. So I had to figure it out. So this is what I came up with. The card is 6 by 6, the black layer is 5 3/4 by 5 3/4. Need 9 squares and have to have about 1/4 inch between each square on all sides. So I made each square 1 11/16 and it worked. I even saved all my pattern pieces, just incase I want to make it again.

The spellbinder die cut is called adorning square. The butterfly's, I cut out of the mariposa stack they matched so nice.  The red, black and gold trim is from my stash. Added 3 metal dots on three of the corners. Close up of the flower, it is from Prisma, I added some Xmas red stickles to the edges and the center. On the yellow flowers added some pearl pen color black for the centers. These tiny flowers are a punch. The greenery is a punch called large fern.

The inside is finished off with some of the scraps edges, I love this paper.

These are the copic markers used to color the image.

I have been staying away from doing any black hair so I have been trying to work on black hair and I added some red. I sure have to practice a lot more on the hair but I will (maybe)

get it down. Here is the close up.

Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful week.

My images is from Anne’s digital art and she is called “Suzy getting ready for”. I printed my image out on Cryogen Heavenly white card stock and you can fine that at Paper Temptress. The paper I used is Die Cuts with a View, Mariposa stack.

Here I removed the band I made for around the pocket card and placed a ribbon from stampin up 1/2inch stitched poly pear pizzazz, the image,  and poppy flower from Sizzix die. I set it in front of the pocket part and I should of taken a picture of it without the pocket behind.

Here is a side view.

another side view.

The die cuts I used are spellbinders scalloped oval to cut the image out. Spellbinders Heartfelt creations layered scalloped Posy HCD 717.

The Sizzix poppy flower die can out so nice. I have several of the flowers dies and I want to start using them.

The little flourish I add was in my stash and thought it looked nice, so I added it. Added 3 metal dots to 3 of the corners. The little flowers come with the set from Heartfelt creations posy die. Added some Pearl pen color black to the centers of the flowers. I sponged around the edges with distress ink color rusty hinge.

These are the copic markers used to color the image.

I shared my other Orchid with you (still blooming beautifully) and this one was not blooming yet and I was not sure what color it was going to be (first time it has bloomed) so here is a picture and it is so beautiful. Not sure how much everyone knows about Orchids but once they bloom they last most of the time for more them 3 months.

Thanks so much for stopping by.  Many hugs to all!
