Manly Monday Beach Scene Card

The car stamp is by Tim Holtz in brown chalk marker, that I regret giving them to my niece.the die cut was bought on eBay.

The baby is interested in what is Mom and Dad doing. Details on the guy/girl panel: they are on a die cut that resembles a rope net or mermaid tail scales. The chair is by Gina Marie and the flip flops were drawn by my husband. Y

Then you open the next panel and you can see the parts and pieces that I used to make this  card. The seashell die cut is by Creative Expression (i think). I used a post note to ask off the different shelves and seaweed with I sprayed it with glimmer Mist by Tattered Angels. Same chair and shoes but the sunglasses are Stampin Up

This card was made for Craft Roulette #253

Card with 3 folds, sweater colors, footwear for an element, and Post it for Random. It’s a Gatefold card with an extra hinge. All of the papers are by Carta Bella. Other 

4 Snow Globe Shaker Christmas Cards

The snow globe die cuts were cards that I cut apart. They came to me in the stash of the older woman that I was lucky enough to receive her Christmas card making supplies after she had to go to a nursing home. 

The background of this card was made with distress ink and water and maybe some kind of spray/spritz. I dry embossed the red part with a Cuttlebug embossing folder and in an effort to make it look brown I continued to add distress oxide to it. Meh. The sentiment stamp is by Inkadinkado. 

For this card, my background paper is by Carte Bella.  The sentiment is by Inkadinkado. The scene is made up of stamps from Stampendous.

Christmas cards using the same blue Patterned

The snowmen stamp is by Stampin Up and I colored them in with Copic Markers.

This next card is what I started with but I didn’t think the red in the sentiment matched the red in the patterned paper. So I found a rub-on that matched better and changed it.

And AFTER...

1981~1983 Scrapbook pocket pages family album

There is a story that goes with these first two layouts. The short version is, there were family members that didn't want to look at these scrapbooks.
And I can’t make them. SO...
I had already finished the layout on the left. The 1982 page on the right was made after that occurrence.
Then I was told that I can't have my feelings hurt if people don't want to look at the Groh Boy books. I was only a jerk for the next couple of layouts. A friend strongly encouraged me to go back and add labels to these pages. I will when I'm ready to. 

The patterned paper in this layout are by Recollections, Craft Smith, Best Creations, and Carta Bella. The sentiment stamp is by Hero Arts. The name labels are alpha stamps from Lawn Fawn. The number stickers were by Pink Paislee. The Christmas trees and the arrow are cut out using my Cricut. The green rounded square is by Spellbinders which has been inked with green distress ink. The letter stickers are by Little Yellow Bicycle and word stickers were by SRM Stickers.

Online Card Class Day 1 Embossing Christmas card with rhinestones Card

I do not have 3D embossing folders. This folder is new so I used it. Another thing from the class that I used as inspiration is adding rhinestones to the center of the flowers and on the patterned paper by Provo Craft. is I haven't been put sequins of rhinestones on cards.

The rubber stamp says @Magenta made in Canada.

Christmas stuff out and I created these two cards too. That's what's taking me so long to get through the classes is the other products that I am discovering while making the card for the class.

Below, patterned paper by Carta Bella, and the center strip is a manufacturer strip. The center is a gift tag.

Strips of patterned paper are by Craft Smith (Top and Bottom) and Anna Griffin in the center.

Tree stamp by MyStamp Box was heat embossed with green powder.

Olaf card for tattoos

My husband's cereal has these Frozen 2 tattoo things that I wanted to send to the granddaughter of a friend of mine. I think she will like them. Well, I'm working on getting some of these images that are laying around onto cards and this was the perfect opportunity to use this image.

I used the Olaf digital stamp by Sassy Studio Design. They are no longer in business.
I don't like that it is off-white paper and the rest of the card is white but some things I have to remember people probably don't notice the little things that I do.
I colored him in with white powdered chalk mixed with paint and the nose is a distress marker. This should tell you how long I've had this image, the chalk company I worked with went out of business around 2015 which was about the time I started the design team for Sassy Studio.
Yup...I have a lot of images to get on cards.
Anyway,

The sentiment is by Sassy Studio Designs

The snowflake sticker is by EK Success

The patterned paper is by Carte Bella
I inked the edges with distress ink.

Here are some other cards using the same stamp.

Funky Christmas Tree Stamp

My favorite craft to do is to stamp. The best day is one that ends with inky fingers. It's fun for me to see how I can get the same tree stamp to turn out so differently on each card.

Both cards, the tree stamp is by Hampton Arts and is stamped with Tsukeno black ink and colored in with Copic markers. The patterned paper by Carte Bella and inked with distress ink. Green circle die-cut from Cricut. The sentiment is by Hero Arts.

The patterned paper is unknown but it is very old.  Border punch by EK Sucess.  Sentiment stickers by SRM Stickers.

Deep Red Stamps Christmas Present cards

I have two cards today. I really like the way they turned out.

The patterned paper is by Carta Bella Bundled Up by Alisha Gordon

Dry embossing folder by Cuttlebug

The present stamp is part of the Season of Joy Stamp set by Deep Red Stamp

I colored the stamp with distress markers and sprayed with water before stamping.

Fun thing-I covered the manufacturer's hole at the top of the 6x6 paper pad with a bow.

The second present card is on Carta Bella patterned paper and a Project Life card
The funny thing about this card is the circle sentiment is covering a blemish on the paper.
The sentiment on the circle is a rub-on by American Crafts. I was nervous adding the rub-on to the circle as it was a close fit.
