Wake up!

Welcome to my blog and I hope your day is going good. I have this darling image it is from Fitzton and it is image Easter 15 and it is the cutest thing. The Outlawz Twisted Thursday challenge and it is all about adding three things to your card so I added 3 flowers. 

My spellbinder is called classic scalloped rectangles large, I used the biggest one and the next one down. Added some netting and my flowers are made from nellie snellen punch and the embosser FLP006 large and small. Added some yellow ribbon to the edges. My papers are from my scraps.

Here is another view.

The inside is left open. Added Cherry Lyn flower chin border and some yellow ribbon.

Here is a close up of the flowers, see how nice the embosser works. I added some Pearl pen color lavender. These are these are the copic markers I used to color the image.

It was such a fun image to color.

Thanks so much for stopping by. I hope things have been good by you. I have started some Spring cleaning (How fun) and all the snow has melted so now it needs to dry out side and I can get outside and start on the yard some.

Green Fairy and This is my style

I decided to post these 2 cards for you because they where kind of the same color group and not for any other reason. I need to get some of my cards posted so you do not think I never make any cards. I lost my instructions on this card and can not remember the where I got most of my things. So I’m going to show you pictures.

I do know that the flowers and the fancy stuff I got at Hobby Lobby in the Bridal Department when it goes on sale and I get it at 50% off.

The die cut is from Spellbinders. The lace is from Wild Orchid crafts. The inside I now that is an EK punch.

These are the copic markers used to color the image. Sorry I do not have a close up. You can click on the card and see a close up that way and no I have not been drinking, I just forgot.

This is my style

This was a color challenge and these are the colors. The layout I did myself why, no idea! But I had fun with it.

The words are from The Angel Company. The paper came from my scraps.

I just created layers! This is the inside. No big deal.

These are the copic markers I used and I do not have a close up of this one, why I do not know…. go figure?

So I hope you liked my cards, I will try and get some more posted for you. Have a great week. It has been nice here.

Dress

Sorry I’m so late posting this, we have had several family members stopping by this week and not staying long so time was cut short. I wanted to give you the pattern and tell you how super easy this is to make. The Twist at Twisted Thursday is to make something and use texture. So I thought I would use material and I found this awesome material in all different colors. How I did the background is I used glossy paper and I added watercolors to it and for my inside background I did the same thing. 

These are the views of the card.. I used Beacon adhesive Fabri-Tac permanent adhesive (Love this stuff) it is really thick so I thin mine out with a small amount of 100% acetone. The Fabri-tac work great when you are are working with material, lace, ribbon anything that is like fabric.

Fabric-tac even to hold things on the material.

I want to tell you, I’m so sorry how bad this picture turned out. All the other pictures where fine but this one.

I wanted to do a couple of the dress with paper and what is nice is you can use your scrapes. First I used my light box and copied the patterned on the back of a piece of paper and that work just fine.

Cut it out. You need to remember the straight lines are mountains and the dotted lines are valley's.

So then I took out so gridded template plastic (I use that a lot for my patterns) and thought this might be easier, so I made a pattern. I think it was easier but if you do not have any I would not go out and buy any. So I cut out another dress.

So this is one of the dresses I cut out. You could also cut the top in a different color and way you want it. You could use real fancy paper add some ribbons be creative. I did all the folds.

You can click on the picture and save as and you will have the pattern.

This is what it looks like when I was kind of done. I have not put the dress on a card yet.

This is the other one. I used beads on this one. Used some beads to look like buttons. So they are fun and real easy. Not sure if I was going to make a card might do something else, have any good idea?

Thanks for stopping by, I hope your week end was good. Weather was real nice got rid of some some and it is going to be in the 50’s all week and that sounds pretty good to me. Hope your week is good.

 

Small Wonders

It is time for Scrapy Land Challenge #13 and it is all about “Anything goes” using Scrapy Land dies. I really like the anything goes and I’m sure you do also. I added an image to to my easel card and it is from Stitchy Bear it is called “Please Me” I do have to say Stitchy Bear Silhouette has some of the most beautiful silhouettes. At the end here I did large the image pretty big you can see so much of the little girl.

Easel cards are really easy to make, but I have been crafting for a long time and I have have from there are a lot of crafters out their that do not know how to make an easel card so I have a link here for a basic easel card and that is what mine is, you also can get real fancy with these easels cards. But if you are a new crafter lets start out with the basics Easel Card.  I hope you enjoy the tutorial.

I always try and show you all kinds of views of my card. Sometimes if it’s a card you would like to try if you have all the views it makes it easier.

I was thinking if I took a picture of the dies it might save me some steps but I feel it really not going to.  Poppy Stamp Meadow leaf die( I could not fine the leaf), memory box butterfly delights die, C. C. Designs phlox flower, Cherry Lyn design exotic butterfly small (could not fine the small one), Cherry Lyn design southern charm valence and Spellbinder decorative labels twenty-two.

Here is a picture looking down on the the card.

I added 3 buttons and to cover the holds in the buttons I added some black and white Pearl pen.  Also added some Pearl pen color black to some of the edges.

The sentiment is from Stamp’in up.

Added black pearl pen to the center of the flowers. There are several layer to each of the flowers. Here is the close of of the image.

Thanks so much for stopping by. Hope your week has been a good one. Stay warm!
