'Tis the Season


Another Christmas Card.  I used the digital stamp "JJ Xmas Cheer - Tis the Season" from Bugaboo.  I coloured the image using Copics.  The star is Nuvo Crystal Drops.  The ornaments on her dress have Glossy Accents on top.  I die cut circles from the NOEL paper and the red paper.  The sentiment tab is also die cut.  The "Cheers" sentiment was sketched using my Silhouette Cameo.  I used Tim Holtz Aged Mahogany Distress Ink around the plaid paper.  While I was doing this card I kept Bugaboo's October B-I-N-G-O Challenge in mind which were distress, players choice (Nuvo drops & Glossy Accents) and a die.

DEAR SANTA


Christmas is coming up fast and it is time to get some of my Christmas Cards done.  With this card I used "Stella Dear Santa" Stamp Set from Bugaboo.  I stamped it twice and fussy cut Stella out.  I used copics to colour the design.  I cut out the image using a postage stamp die.  I replaced the stamped heart with a heart brad.  I put gems for Stella's earrings and popped her up.  I also but the holly using my Silhouette cameo.  My guide for this card is Bugaboo's BINGO - 3 layers, players choice and gem.

Brothers



I wanted to create a card from my Grandsons to their Dad for his birthday.  I used the Bugaboo digi stamp " Big Book Boy".  I reversed one of the images for this card.  I coloured the images with Copics to match my Grandsons.  The background was printed from my Silhouette.  The sentiment is also created from the Silhouette.  I wrote "From two of your favourite boys" because their family grew by two last week (twin boys) and I didn't quite know how to include two baby boys into my card.    Happy Birthday Patrick.

Building a Snowman



Bears and building Snowmen are another thing I really enjoy.  I made this card using the stamp set "Bright Baubles" and "Holiday Helper" by Neat & Tangled and "Reindeer Games" by Mama Elephant.  I coloured the images using Copics.  I added fur to their hats using a mixture of glue and white paint.  I add some glitter gel pen dots for some falling snow.  The sentiment is from an older stamp set that I don't know the name of.

Santa with his Moose




Christmas is one of my favourite times of year.  I also like my moose (Canadian thing).  I used the stamp sets "Merry Christmoose" and "Here comes Santa Claus" from Sugar Pea Designs.  I coloured my images using Copics and fussy cut them out.  I coloured my background using Tim Holtz Tumbled Glass Distress Ink.  I cut out two hills to place in front using "Stitched Hillside Borders" by Lawn Fawn.  I added my images on top.  I put red Nuvo Crystal Drops for the baubles on the trees.  The sentiment is one I have had for awhile and don't know who makes it.

Christmas Cookie Bird



This cute little Christmas Bird is eating his yummy cookie.  The Christmas Bird is part of the stamp set "Season's Tweetings" from Honey Bee.  The "Christmas Cookie" sentiment was sketched using the Cameo.  I heat embossed in white the "Holiday Cheer" sentiment (part of my Christmas sentiment stash so the brand name is unknown to me).  I stamped and embossed the green background with a snowflake and clear embossing powder.  I coloured the Christmas bird using copics and added some dimensional glue and glitter to his hat.

Oscar Mayer Wiener


This card definitely makes me laugh.  When I saw the "Hot Dog" stamp set from Neat & Tangled, I just had to have it.  As a kid we use to sing the "Oscar Mayer Wiener" song all the time and this stamp set reminded me of that.  The music notes are from "Critter Concert" by Lawn Fawn.  I coloured it with copics.

Autumn

Autumn is here, which is my favourite time of year.  For someone who loves autumn, I am not one who creates cards with autumn colours.  It is time I gave it a try.  The stamp set is "Fall Friends" from My Favorite Things and the sentiment I used was from "Winter Skies" by Lawn Fawn.  I coloured this cute little girl with copics.  I cut her out using two stitched rectangles one inside of the other.  I pop dotted the frame and the sentiment .  I enjoyed making this card and will do more autumn themes.

True Love



I love watching fireworks and I especially love watching them with my "Love of my Life".  I have never stamped fireworks so I thought I would give it a try.  Not quite as easy as other stamping.  After a few tries, I was finally happy with them.  The "Fireworks" stamp set is from My Favorite Things.  The polar bears are from the stamp set "Winter Skies" from Lawn Fawn.  I coloured the polar bears using copics.  I fussy cut them and popped them up using pop dots.  The back ground is inked using a freelance curve.  I added the heart to show the love the polar bears have for each other.

Glad you dropped by to have a peek at my card.

I love Christmas and I love my Bugaboo stamps that I own.  I could always use a few more though.  I used Bugaboo "Elf Sitter" stamp set for the image and the sentiment.  I coloured my little guy using copics.  I added Wink of Stella to the jingle bells to add some sparkle.  I then popped up the elf panel with pop dots.

All Hallows' Eve




Time for Ghouls, Skeletons and Witches to roam.  With Halloween just around the corner, I thought I would do a card for my three year old Grandson.  He is into learning the different colours, so what better way to learn the colours of the rainbow than with this card.  I used Impression Obsession "Halloween Cutout Circles" and backed them with rainbow colours.  I added pop dots to make them stand out.  The background is an embossing folder from Tim Holtz which I inked up first.

Bear Hugs


I absolutely love polar bears and when I saw this stamp, I just had to use it.  I love the simplicity of this card.  I do not know who makes the stamp set.  It contains eight beautiful polar bears and they are all adorable.  I coloured the bears with copic markers.  The night sky was also done with copic markers.  I am pleased how the sky turned out.  I added small gel pen dots for the stars in the sky.  Sentiment is from Jane's Doodles "Bear Hugs" stamp set.

Thanks for joining me on my blog.

Chin Up!


Time for me to try a different medium for my cards; coloured pencil crayons and Gamsol.  I tried colouring with pencil crayons once before and I didn't like it all.  Decided to give it another try with the help of another card maker.  I enjoyed it this time.  There is definitely room for improvement.  Today I made this giraffe to cheer up a friend.  The "Baby Giraffe" stamp set is from Impression Obsession.  I coloured the background using a copic marker.

MERRY CHRISTMOOSE



Time to start a few Christmas Cards.  I love this Christmas Moose from High Hopes.  I wanted to keep this one very simple.  He is coloured with copics with some glitter snow added for the hat rim and edge of scarf.  What Christmas Moose doesn't have Christmas snow so I added a bit.  Loved doing this cutie.

Never Grow Up




I made this card for a dear friend of mine (father) who needs to lighten up a tad.  I used three stamp sets from Art Impressions, "Lifetime, Boy & Girl Mini (sentiment) and WC Dog".  I reversed stamped the dog as I wanted him to face the other direction.  I did that by stamping him on a piece of acetate and then putting the acetate face down on my card front and rubbing the image.  It didn't come out quite as clear as I wanted, but was fine as it was a dog and dogs are shaggy.  The window die is also from Art Impressions.  The "Starry Night Sky" is a die from Sue Wilson.  I designed the curtains on my Silhouette Cameo.  I put a "Mini Action Wobble" under my Birthday Boy to allow him to dance up a storm.  I coloured the dog and Birthday Boy using my copics.  I sketched the floor and then applied Tim Holtz Distress Ink Antique Linen.  The walls were coloured with Tim Holtz Distress Oxide Cracked Pistachio.  I embossed the sentiment and added white and black Nuvo Crystal Drops.


Note for Dies R Us:  Die used was Sue Wilson's "Starry Night Sky".

Peek-A-Boo, Where are You?

By the Sea






There is something majestic about seeing the ocean and the mountains at the same time.  It reminds me of Vancouver Island very early in the morning.  I embossed Impression Obsession Mountain Landscape Layers (347-W) instead of cutting them.  I used the the embossed lines for water colouring the mountains and then water coloured the ocean and fore land.  I die cut the lighthouse and the dolphins from the IO Mini Nautical Set (184-L).  I also die cut the seagull from IO Sea Birds      (078-F).

Canada Day






Canada Day is this weekend.  I created a card using Art Impression "Little Stinker" stamp.  I coloured him with copics.  I used Nuvo Crystal Drops on his hat and added to black ink.  The background was made using "Layered Plaid Background" dies by AlteNew.  My little stinker was placed on a Spellbinders Label die and the sentiment was designed by me on my Silhouette Cameo.  I added some small maple leaf punches.


Proud to be a Canadian.

Truly Proud Canadians




I created this card thinking like the elderly couple showing their pride for Canada.  I live in Ontario and it usually rains every time the fireworks start.  I love how the elderly couple come to "ooh and aah" the fireworks even in the rain.  I stamped the couple from the stamp set "Love Birds".  I coloured them with copics and fussy cut them.  I did a water colour background.  Unfortunately, my photo doesn't show the distinction from the ground to the sky.  I drew the fireworks and went over them with a sparkly gel pen to highlight them.

There she was just a-walking down the street...Do Wah Diddy Diddy



I created this card using a sketch from "Beccy's Place".  I just love these chicks from Beccy Muir's stamp sets "Cool Chicks" and "Birds of a Feather".  Instead of three bird houses, I used three chicks.  When I was colouring the chicks, I thought of the 60's song "Do Wah Diddy Diddy" by Manfred Mann, hence the title of my card.  Supplies used:  Unknown brick stamp, pearls, Copics, Wink of Stella, Glossy Accents & Nuvo Crystal Drops.

This little girl is just so adorable.  The stamp set is "April Showers" by Dare 2B Artzy.  I stenciled a small area of geometric squares using Squeezed Lemonade Distress Oxide.  She coloured with copics and the sentiment was stamped with a Marvy marker. I added Wink of Stella to the lacy part of the umbrella, coat and to the flower on the gumboots.  I used glossy accents for the button and the three blue dots on the tag.
