Manly Monday Mini Card in a Card using Tim Holtz stamps

These pictures represent winters in Michigan.

The three blueprints images are stamps by Tim Holtz. I stamped them onto his watercolor cardstock and colored them in with his distress ink refills and a water pen by him before I  inked the edges with distress ink, by him. The patterned paper is by My Mind’s Eye but idk about the paper that makes the extra fold. The Kraft cardstock card base is from The Paper Studio. The border punch on the front of the card is by Martha Stewart. Thanks for looking.

I'm entering this card into the

Simon Says Stamp Anything Goes challenge

Manly Monday Camera Cards with the backgrounds made with scraps.

My first card has strips of paper leftover from projects. Some of the manufacturers are My Mind's Eye,  Colorbok, and Basic Grey. The white pieces of paper are probably patterned paper turned over. I do this a lot. For this card, I wanted to get out the Stampin Up wheel stamps. The camera stamp is from Tim Holtz and I colored it in with distress ink and water.

The Tag is by Basic Grey. The camera stamp and tiny stapler are both by Tim Holtz. The sentiment by Bo Bunny (?). The background stamp is by Stampin Up. The ribbon is from Michael's. I'll have more of these camera-stamped cards coming up. Thanks for looking

My second card is for a. Tag challenge at the The Male Room

You look Fabulous Given how old you are

This is the stamp I will use on the insides of the cards with cameras.

1985 Mimi's Work photo Layout

The patterned paper is by K&i Memories. Name and coffee cup stamps are by Lawn Fawn. Age and year stamps by Close to My Heart. The tape dispenser stamp is by Newton's Nook. Both the tape dispenser and coffee cup were colored in with the Peerless watercolors. The telephone is a Cricut draw and cut.

Manly Monday Deep Red Stamps Woodgrain

I made these cards using the Deep ReD stamps 

Weathered Wall

Cornucopia Stamp

I heat embossed the weathered wall stamp. I had to stamp it twice to fit on the cardstock. I used my MISTI and I was successful. I used Peerless Watercolors to color in the cornucopia.

They are so messy because I kept falling asleep while painting these. I would wake up and the paintbrush would be in the wrong spot for that color or on the outside of the image. I used paper towels to get rid of the access but it didn't always save the image. Oh well. I think they still look nice...from a distance. lol

The red border and brown border sticker are by Creative Memories and Yellow unknown.

The border die is by Tim Holtz

This is the size of the weathered wall stamp and the size of the cardstock. You can tell that the MISTI really came through for me when it came to perfectly lining up the image. 

Thank you for looking.

Here are a few previous posts that go along with these two.

Big Fishy Friends Cards

I used stamps by Stampin Up and Lawn Fawn

Big fish were colored in with watercolors Strathmore or Tim Holtz watercolor paper

The small fish were colored in with Copic markers (1st card) and colored pencils (3rd card)

I used distress ink to create the sun or sky

The sentiment is by Lawn Fawn and Forever in Time (2nd card)

The die- cuts are Lawn Fawn images with matching dies

The borders are eBay dies or leftovers from the other fishy cards.

The patterned paper is by Die Cuts with a View

I'm exhausted and keep falling asleep at my computer. So I hope these are accurate

The patterned paper is old from my stash.

Another Fishy card

Worldly Cards Part 3

This is the last set of the world cards I made for a police department to show them some love and appreciation.

I used some bits and pieces from the previous cards that I posted

This starred paper is so old. I think it is by Making Memories

I set an eyelet and some ribbon inside

The right side has been misted with glimmer mist

Of them all, this is my least favorite. 

The background paper is too much. 

I like how I cut the sentiment die-cut in half. 

But maybe on a different card.

Patterned paper by October Afternoon

I don't love this one either.

 I think it's because I used two different Spellbinder die-cut shapes.

This last one, I stamped the edges with an old dance Stampin Up set.

The hello is a Heidi Swapp tag that I cut off the top.

Balloon Thank You in different languages Card

I heat embossed this balloon thank you stamp onto Tim Holtz watercolor paper and colored it in with distress inks and a water pen. I made this card at a friend's house so the stamp is unknown. I die-cut this border die that I bought off of eBay three times. I flipped the paper over for one of the cuts of paper to get a different wave direction than the others.

Thanks for looking.

Deep Red Stamps Merry Christmas

I stamped the Merry Christmas Deep Red Stamps image onto Strathmore watercolor cardstock with Hero Arts black ink. I colored the image in with distress inks and added some iridescent paint in a few areas. I trimmed it down and inked the edges with red distress ink before adhering it to a green patterned paper by Pink Paislee.

I almost always work on a piece of cardstock or patterned paper and then add that panel to the card base. This embossed border is a reason why I do that. If I were to emboss the card base you would be able to see it inside the card. Although the border might not be the best example because it might look really nice on the inside but when using brads I don't want the prongs sticking out when the recipient opens the card. Just personal preference.

This embossed border is by Darice. The patterned paper is unknown. The snowflake sticker on the left is by We R Memory Keepers. I cut a Spellbinders die called Dahlia out of Die Cuts with a View green cardstock. I inked the edges with Forest Moss distress ink before adhering the sticker to it.

Sassy Studio Designs 3, 2, 1 GO!

This week at Sassy Studio Designs  the theme is 3, 2, 1 GO! So what does that mean? You need to use 3 papers, 2 buttons, and 1 ribbon on your project. I created a card using the Scarecrow Portrait. I printed the image on watercolor paper and colored in the image with Peerless and distress inks with a water pen by Ranger Industries. 

I used three different patterned papers by Provo Crafts and the bottom paper is of hay. I placed two very small buttons, one on the hat and one at the end of the rope around her neck. I tied the ribbon around left lower corner into a bow. The sentiment is Lawn Fawn Harold alphabet stamps and Stampin Up brown ink.

Thanks for looking.

Make it Fly

This month I am on the Sassy Studio Designs Thursday challenge team. Our first challenge is today and it is Make it Fly or AKA things with wings. I'm using the Butterfly Effie Portrait.

After she dried I cut her down and matted her onto a piece of patterned paper. All the patterned paper is by Studio G. The sticker was in my stash and the rhinestones are by Plaid.
