Good Night Moon




Good Night Moon is an interactive card that I made.  I use Lawn Fawn "Reveal Wheel" with a couple of adaptations.The moon changes position when you rotate the wheel.  The background with the moon was inked using Tim Holtz Distress Oxide Ink Black Soot and Faded Jeans.  I die cut a hole and added a moon on the backside to peek through the hole.  The floor is a Penny Black "Wood Floors" die.  The stamped image is "Sweet Easter" by Art Impressions.  I coloured the image using Copic markers.  The colours I used are R14, R24, Y13, Y15, G21, G24, YR14, E04, E43, E44, E47, C00, C0, and C01.  I added a bit of white gel pen to the flower pot. The sentiment was designed from the Silhouette Cameo.

'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.  

Thanks for stopping by to have a peek.

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.

Thanks for dropping by to have a look.

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.  

Thanks for stopping by to have a look.
