DASHER FOR THE TROOPS

2011-12-04T18:26:00.000-07:00

A bunch of us at work are doing cards for the troops. They will be signed and sent out by Friday 12/09/11. This is through the American Red Cross. I am pretty excited about this as it is a first time sending cards over to the troops. I made them pretty simple since I was making a bunch of them.

SUPPLIES:

PAPER: was from my stash, It has a marble effect if you look really close. I used a vanilla and a gold.

STAMP: Stampin Up Dasher

MISC: Frame with oval shape, Big Shot, Stampin Up lattice emboss folder, Stampin Up gold emboss powder, versa-mark, heat gun, craft bond spray adhesive.

1. To create the oval in the center of the paper, you need to place the frame on the big shot platform not on the sandwich plate. put the paper in the embossing folder, then place it on top of the frame. Now you put one sandwich plate on top of the folder and run it through the big shot.

2. Once the sheet is dry embossed, use the versa mark to stamp your image within the oval. Then emboss with the gold powder.

3. Spray the Craft Bond spray adhesive on the back of the image and attach within 15 seconds to your main card. For the main card I used a yellow/gold and a vanilla color.

Please leave me a message letting me know what you think!

MOTHERS DAY

2011-04-28T19:17:00.000-06:00

I made a mothers day card for a friend of mine to send to her mom.

I cased this card from ZGRANDMA on SCS.

I really liked how it turned out and hope that her mom loves it just as much I do.

I was having a hard time with the paper flowers, so I used some of my prima flowers I had.

All supplies used are from Stampin Up unless noted.

Paper: very vanilla, yellow, glossy

Ink: gold/brown spray mist, melon mambo, yoyo yellow, only orange, glorious green

Misc: ribbon (my stash), flowers (prima), fire rhinestone brad, hodgepodge hardware

I misted the glossy cardstock with the gold/brown mist and set it aside to dry for a few minutes.

Then I used a sponge, dipped into my ink pads and swished and swiped it on the

glossy cardstock in random patterns.

I learned something new with my Corel program. I have had it for a while and just keep learning a little bit and then I use it and then I go back to learn some more. Today I learned how to take a color photo, change it to black and white and then add a touch of color back in. I found a picture on a blog that I really liked for a kitchen and what I want my kitchen to look like. I hope you enjoy this and if you are looking for a great photo editing software, I would so suggest this program.

My daughter Kaley had a birthday party to attend today. We went shopping and one of the things we got for her friend was this MONSTER HIGH purse.

I am having so much fun with MDS after learning new things and downloading free items from papers, embelishments, alphabets, fonts and so much more. I downloaded some old pics that I had put on cd's.

This is Brennan when he was younger. I came around the corner to see him standing in a chair with the butter on the counter and ready to dig in. Why do my kids go for the butter straight with a spoon or just dig in with their hands. I will never know, but it was so fun to catch them doing it.

I really liked the candle I did for Halloween, so I thought I would give it a try with another picture. This time I printed a photo on the tissue paper. The printer used only black ink, so I colored them in. The one on the right is with watercolor pencils, the one on the left is with markers and the last one in the middle is with watercolor crayons. Another gift down for XMAS!

I hope you enjoy and give it a try for yourself.

I finally tried my hand at stamping on a candle. Since this is the Halloween season, I thought I would try this design. It was really easy and fun to do. I will definately be doing more of these. I have an idea to try one for a baby shower with a little choo-choo train. The great thing is that you can still light the candle. The picture below is the same candle, one with flash and the other without flash.

MARGARITA BIRTHDAY

2010-10-13T05:47:00.000-06:00

This is a card for a young lady at my husbands work who is turning 21! I remember the days. I hope she enjoys the card almost as much as she enjoys her birthday!

Happy Birthday Megatron!!!

I first stamped the margarita glass in basic black ink after stamping off one time. I did not want it to be a dark color. Then I colored it with the green galore marker until I got the desired effect. I created the base of the glass to be a little darker than the drink. Then I took the yoyo yellow marker and went over the green galore only on the drink portion to make the margarita stand out a little. They blended very well together.
After coloring it, I cut it out and added crystal effects on the whole thing except where the salt was to be. While waiting for it to try, I inked up the lime stamp with yoyo yellow and then used a sponge dauber to go around the edge. I wanted to cover most of the yellow up, but still leave a desired effect. I also used a little bit of crystal effects on the lime to give it a wet look. Once the Crystal effects was dry, I then put a light coat of glue on the rim of the glass and added the dazzling diamonds on the top of the glass and also along the card side. For the background, I used a sponge and rubbed the color on to my desire. I wanted it to be bright, but to blend in with the glass. Kind of like a margarita sunrise!
For the card itself, I took a piece of 4 1/4 x 11. I cut it down to 10 1/2 inches. I measured in 3 1/8 on each side of the card. Then on the right hand side, I measured from the top left to the bottom right. I cut that piece and folded it in to create a semi tri-fold card.
All supplies used are from stampin up unless otherwise noted.

2010-10-11T05:48:00.000-06:00

I really liked this card and it is for a very special friend of mine for her birthday. She has 2 dogs and they are such a part of her life. I know that this is very hard to see, but I colored the collar pink and added dazling diamonds. Then the google eyes that are also green really go with the rest of the card. I freehand cut the back of the card after folding it in half. Then I turned it over to get an idea of where I wanted the roof to be. I used the more mustard first, cut little slits to make it look like it had slats an then I adhered it to the forest green and mimicked the more mustard to have the same look. The glitter letter came that way out of a package so that is why I mimicked the collar as well. This is a card that I cased from flowergal36 on SCS. I think my friend will really enjoy this card and I hope you enjoy it as much.

I love this set and many others that are coming out in the mini catalog.
I did however case the below card from the wonderful Stacey Schafer. She did a wonderful job on this card. I was going to use the exact colors, but I looked over at my paper and seen this great DP from the occasions mini catalog that just ended. I hope you enjoy this card as much as I do!

For the main flower image, I inked the whole stamp in pretty in pink, then sponged just a little rich razzleberry around the edges. The greeting, I only punched it half way in the punch.

BREAKFAST WITH LOVE

2009-12-04T06:37:00.006-07:00

NO CRAFT POST TODAY!
So the people that really know me, know that I hate to cook. I can do it, but I don't like it very much. So the other morning, I got up bright and early and made these great pancakes. I used my batter shaper for the first time and I loved it. The kids and my husband liked it as well. Mornings during the week, are pretty simple around our house. Mainly cereal, toast, instant oatmeal....something quick while we are trying to get out of the house for school and work. Anyway, while I was making these great pancakes, guess what I was thinking of. What can I make for a card using hearts? Can you believe I was trying to come up with a design from food. Never put it past me as to where I can find inspiration for my crafts!

MY FIRST LOST TOOTH

2009-12-04T06:35:00.004-07:00

No craft today, but some personal news!
My baby is growing up! He just turned 7 a month ago and he just lost his first tooth. He told me about it as soon as I picked him up from school and we were all so excited. We put his tooth in a container on the window sill for the tooth fairy. He woke up really early the next morning and the tooth fairy had not come yet. While he was watching cartoons and mommy had her back turned, our big kitty Yogi Bear, helped the tooth fairy out and let her slip in to drop off the money and to grab his tooth. She was a sneaky little thing this time!

2009-11-28T20:31:00.011-07:00

CHIC BOUTIQUE is one of my favorite stamp sets and when I came across this card that Mary Fish showed on her blog made by Carrie Fitch, I knew that I just had to case it. The full color is the real image and the 2 images below are the same picture, but I took a picture of them with a mode on my camera known as color accent. I just had to show these as well. I might just case the case with the colors from the accent pictures. They would make great color combos.

SUPPLIES:
STAMPS: chic boutique
PAPER: very vanilla, pink passion, bermuda bay, real red
INK: pink passion, basic black (ink pads), taken with teal, pink passion, real red (stampin' write markers)
MISC: dazzling diamonds, modern label punch,ticket corner punch, glue dots, big shot, embossing folder, dimensionals, 3/8" white tafeta ribbon, snail adhesive

The pink accent photo is used with just the pink passion and the other photo is used with the bermuda bay color.

MY DIGITAL STUDIO HOLIDAY

2009-09-24T19:49:00.011-06:00

Here is fun little card that I put together digitally. I created this card using the MY DIGITAL STUDIO from the Stampin' Up holiday mini catalog. This is such a wonderful creation for the crafty person of any age, style and ability. You can create scrapbook pages, cards, calendars, and so much more. I have had a blast playing with it and it's many downloads that are already included with it. This will be available to customers on October 1st. I almost forgot to mention that you can have these items professionally printed and sent directly to your door. This is wonderful for me because I do not have a great printer to print my wonderful items. Not to mention that all colors that you use are printed in true color form with all the great colors we have. I know that I am talking a lot about this program, but it is wonderful and SOOOOO easy to use. You have to give it a try! The skies the limit.
