OWLS


Hi everyone,

Here's today project, I saw on Lynn Put's blog and I had to make one for myself, than it all degenerated into a entire family...


I called them THE RAINBOWS sorry for the bad joke, but as you can tell, IM desesperatly in need for some colors, I just can't take anymore snowflakes for this year.



I used sizzix pillow box die along with 3/4 and 1 1/4 circle punches, large oval and trio of hearts SU! punches. I then added a little bling for the reflection of light in their eyes.



Here's the creating process.


There you can see I caught two of them chatting while I was trying to get a decent picture...



Have a nice stampin' day !!!

sweet little girl easter card


Hi everyone,

I've been busy last weekend coloring a bunch of little Magnolia girls for Easter cards. I love, love, love coloring; it's my favorite activity. There's something so engrossing about it. I totally lose myself in it to the point where I don't hear anything around me. 

Here's one I colored with Copic markers:


The blue and green shadowing around the image was made using my Prismacolor pencils, OMS and a paper stump. I also added a few strokes with my white gel pen. Usually, I shadow my images with a black pencil but I decided not to this time.


I also added a few clusters of Dazzling Diamonds Glitter to the background image. I really like my little girl. The image was cut out with a Nestabilities die and matted with another one.

Wonderful Mother


Hi everyone,

I know it's a little early to think about Mother's Day cards but I have a few customers that are terribly organized in their card-giving ways. Here's a Mother's Day card that I made using PapertreyInk design paper and a lovely hand-crocheted flower.


I love the Aqua Mist and Spring Moss combo. So fresh and springy. And that flower with the bling that I've added in the center gives it that special punch of color.


The sentiment is from Stampin' Up!'s Well Scripted stamp set.

Mother's Day Card


Hi everyone,

Sometimes I make a card that I'm really proud of ... so proud that I can't help but CASE-ing it ... over and over again. LOL  I did it again today for a Mother's Day card. I say the DSP is the star of the show as well as its colors. 


The only thing that differs from my original design is the sentiment that I printed from my computer for a customer of mine. I love making personalized sentiments for a special touch and I know that the recipients get a kick out of that. 


The sentiment was punched out with the Word Window Punch and cut at one end. I love the layering effect.

Hot Air Buttons !!


Hi everyone,

Meet today's card, aren't those hot air buttons cute?? I've been looking with envy this stamp set for a while now. It's called everyday button bits from Paper Trey Ink... I finally got to play with it last weekend, not mine CeeCee's, but i'll get mine soon.



I really love the mountain and the clouds I made inking under the pressusre with some expert's eyes lloking over my shoulder...It's always fun when we take time to create and eat strawberry cupcakes together.


Have a nice stampin' day !!!

Easter Wagon Card


Hi everyone,

I know Easter is 2 months away but I crave the colors so I'm glad I have a few commissions for Easter cards. This one has a lot of layers and uses multiple stamp sets. I stamped the main part of the wagon twice and cut out the 3 planks and then popped them with foam adhesive. The grass is punched  out of the reverse side of the DSP with the Martha Stewart border punched and popped up as well. So was the sentiment. 



As you can see from the photo below, I stamped the eggs by masking the first and second one. Then I clear embossed them by over them with a VersaMarker and clear embossing powder. To give the metallic look to the nails, handle and wheels of the wagon I colored them with a Zip pen.
