Making Spirits Bright

 

Happy Saturday Peeps!!

Today I am sharing a I made using the sketch at Create with Connie and Mary.

Well, it was my inspiration and this is what you 

get when try to you make the card from memory.

I didn't look back at the sketch until I was almost done 

and mine is not an exact match, but close. 

 

My card base is Real Red and the DSP on here is from the All is Bright pack.

I matted he green DSP piece with some Call Me Clover card stock.

I love the traditional colors in this pack. 

Frankly I have been pretty obsessed with the Detailed Deer Thinlits, 

that I have neglected my other stamps, this snow man set in paticuliar.

Spirited Snowmen is the name of the set, and I have barely used it.

I stared by stamping this guy onto some scrap thick whisper white card stock using black stazon.

I used my Wink of Stella and ink pads to color him.

He has such a shimmer, it is cute IRL, but doesn't show in my pic. 

 

I fussy cut him out and added him to my die cut circle with a few dimensionals.

The Circle is also added to the card wih dimesionals

The sentiment is from the Making Christmas Bright stamp set.

I added a red twine bow and a few little rhinestones.

Thanks for coming by today!

CCMC.....With Sympathy

Happy Sunday Peeps!

Today I am sharing a card I made using the challenge at Create with Connie and Mary, this week it is a fun color challenge:

I pulled out my new Hostess set called Gifts of Love to use.

I stamped the image onto some water color paper and again onto some scrap vanilla.

I water colored the flower using The Dapper Denim and the leaves are done with the Mint Macaron.

I used the Tip Top Taupe for a wash in the background and to shade all around the flower.

I then used the splotchy image from the Swirly Bird set with the Taupe and Denim stamping of twice before stamping onto my water color paper.

I colored the flowers that I stamped onto the vanilla and fussy cut out and added them over the original using some dimensionals.

The sentiment is from the Flourishing Phrases stamp set and is stamped using Memento Black ink.

I added some twine around the bottom and a few little white perfect accents.

I added a small stripe of Tip Top Taupe Envelope paper along the side. 

The front was then mounted onto a base of Dapper Denim card stock.

Thanks for stopping by today!

CCMC..........Just a Note

Happy Sunday Peeps!!!

Today I have a card to share with you

 that I created using the sketch this week at Create with Connie and Mary.

I have not played along with their challenges in forever, I was thrilled to see this fun sketch when I took a peek over there, so I had to give it a go.

I started with a base of white card stock and followed that up with another layer of white.

My little blue square I made using a bit of water color paper and inks.

My flower and sentiment are from the Flourishing Phrases set. I love this flower in the set, that is full of wonderful phrases with great fonts.

I stamped my flower using Watermelon Wonder ink, twice, and then cut out and layered them up.

The pretty leaf stem is from the Flourish Thinlits and I used some Pear Pizzazz card stock to die cut it.

I used a few basic pearls here and there to add some interest.

Thanks for stopping by today!

CCMC182......Happy Valentine's Day

Happy Hump Day Peeps!

Today I am sharing a card I made over the weekend using the sketch challenge on Create with Connie and Mary. I wanted to do a Valentine card so I pulled out my all time favorite stamp set, Stampin Up's Greeting Card Kids. 

I used some retired DSP,  the Love Impressions Specialty Pack.
I used some of the silver and red glitter paper to make my hearts and the edge punch is the pinking hearts. I used the square lattice EF for the embossed piece on the bottom.
The sentiment is from the Teeny Tiny Wishes stamp set and is stamped with black stazon.

The little Valentine girl was stamped with black stazon onto white card stock, I then used my water brush to color her using ink from my ink pads. I used pretty in pink, real red and blush blossom ink. I added a highlight to the heart with my white gel pen.
I added two silver brads and a small bow to the heart on the sentiment flag.
Well, that is all from me thanks fro stopping by and we will talk again soon, if you have any questions be sure and let me know!

CCMC......Very Merry MOJO Ornament Card

Happy Hump Day Peeps! Can you believe it is the last day of November already?  The year has just flown by!

Today I am sharing a card I made using two different challenges, the color challenge on Create with Connie  and Mary and this weeks Mojo Monday sketch challenge.

I again am using one of my fave sets, Stampin' Up "Greeting Card Kids". You all know how I love this little vintage looking girl pulling her sled. It doesn't matter what colors i use with her, she just sings!!

I choose to make the round card from the sketch and made it into an ornament card. I cut a scallop circle by folding my night of navy card stock in half and using the largest scallop circle nestie, leaving the fold just below the cut line on the die. I then cut a circle with river rock card stock and embossed with the square lattice EF. I used some Well Worn DSP at the bottom.

I used some lucky limeade ribbon across the bottom and down the side. I made a bow and added a antique brad to the center. The main image is added to the card with some dimesionals.  The sentiment is from the Stampin Up "Short & Sweet" stamp set and I stamped onto white card stock used my word window punch to punch it out. I matted it with a night of navy piece punched with the modern label punch. I added some basic pearls to the ends.

I made the card into a ornament by adding the top piece, made with the round tab punch with lucky limeade card stock and folded in half. I embossed this piece with the square lattice EF too. I added some white bakers twine for it to hang by.

Well, that is all from me today, thanks so much for stopping by and

HAPPY STAMPING!!!
