Wishing Tree/Wishes FS95 challenge!

This card was designed for todays Featured Stamper challenge over at SCS, and here is the FS95 gallery. And todays featured stamper is Flowergal36, and this is the card I cased

On my card I changed the colors,dp,and the layout. The tree I used is from Pink Poison Stamps,and so is the sentiment,they are both from the set Wishing Tree!I also added my ribbon treatment to the top, and my sentiment to the bottom. I was going to copy her sketch, but it wouldnt work :(

This second card was from yesterdays IC156 challenge.



This is the card I designed for yesterdays Ispiration challenge on SCS Also to view other cards made for this challenge by others in the IC156 gallery . I used this wrapping paper as my Inspiration,

I love this little mermaid Anya, and I think Ive done her hair in several different colors...lol She is another Christmas card , I have sooo many done, Im sooo happy :) On her I used watercolor pencils, in red, and then black for her hair. I used the copic marker for her skin tone.I also used fun flock, and dazzling diamonds on her. The white background was ran through the cuddlebug using the snowflake cb folder. ribbon is just tied in a knot, and same thing done on the tag.

Also all the writing that is not black are links to those sites!! Hope this helps :)

Blogger group #3 Challenge #1

This is my card made for our blogger group #3 this is our very 1st challenge. This is a color challenge and we are to use yellow and orange, and some kinda flower stamp. Well I just had to use little miss mermaid Anya again :) lol. And the flower is from the set Cupcakes, from Pink Poison Stamps! I also used the sketch from Beary Box's sketch challenge #4, I really love this sketch, and had to do 2 of them.

On my card I used this butterfly dp, and stripes to match. I had bought these at Roberts craft store a while back, and thought they would be perfect for this challenge. The flowers are stamped in craft black ink, and heat embossed, I then watercolored them with su watercolor pencils. I did the same to Anya.

Thanks for looking and have a wonderful weekend!!!

She is embossed with ebossing bridal tinsel. I also used the sentiment that was released this month from QKD as well, and its from the "You're My Set"I have wanted this swiss dott cb folder forever now, and finally found it at joannes last night , so I bought it :) I embossed the gray background and the larger cutout, and Alley Kat as well. The shapes are from the cricut machine. I want those new shaped nesties, so hopefully hubby will get me those soon :) LOL

This card was designed for todays FS challenge over at SCS. Todays FS is EbethNeu and this is the card I cased

On this card I needed to change two or more things, so I changed the colors, and the stamp. I only used a sentiment stamp" You're my best bud" from Queen Kat Designs. The Turkey I made. I learned how to make this turkey from our SU card club, isnt he cute?????? I did add a bow to my card, and change the shape that the sentiment is on, it wouldnt fit on the other. Directions to make this cute little turkey are below. Thanks for looking and have a wonderful day!!!!

To create the turkeys feathers:

Step 1: count five scallope, and fold that portion of the circle down, as shown to the left.


Step 2: Turn circle over and mark the center at the top and the bottom, now count two scallops, and score from there to center. Like shown. do that on both sides of the circle.

Step 3: fold flat edge down from each side so folded edges line up with the middle.

Turkey card you will need:

Choc chip: 1 3/8 circle for the body and one scallop circle punch for the feathers.

More Mustard: 3/4 circle for the head.

Real Red: 1/4 circle for the buttons and one scallop circle for feathers.

Basic Black: 3/4 square trimmed down for hat, double circle punch for eyes.

Miss You!!!



Hello everyone, this is the card I put together for todays Sketch Challenge over at SCS. Darling Sketch!!!!

Anyways on this card I used the puppy from the Home Sweet Home stamp set from Pink Poison Stamps. I watercolored him in choc chip, and close to cocoa. I used riding hood red on his tongue.

The design paper I used on this is double sided and I used two different sheets. They are from Sassafras. The scallop edge came on the dp , so I didnt have to add that. I did however add the pearls to the scallops.

On the ribbon, I dyed them to match. I used choc chip and baja breeze. I then added the pearl heart button.

Thanks for looking, and have a very nice day!!!

Mermaid Anya "Thank You"



This is another card I did with the Mermaid Anya Stamp from Pink Poison Stamps.

I stamped her in craft black and heat embossed with clear embossing powder. I then watercolored her with the new in color Pacific Point from SU. I also watercolored her hair with a brown watercoloring pencil, her skin is done with a copic marker(pinkish white ROO) I used gems in her hair, an the gem on the bow is covered in beads. I dyed the ribbon with the Pacific Point color, and also used that color on the background. To make this background I used the cuddlebug folder, and inked it up on the inside, then added my paper and ran it through the cuddlebug. I love the look of the paper when its embossed and also has some color on the embossed area. the sentiment Thank You is also from Pink Poison Stamps , its from the Sentiments set!

Thank you for looking, and have a nice night!!

Home Sweet Home!! (Miss You)



This is my second card for todays challenge over at SCS. My other card for todays challenge is the post below this one. On this one I used this darling little puppy from Pink Poison Stamps. It is called Home Sweet Home. This set was just released on Nov 1st.

I stamped him 3 times, once on white,then on the blue dp, and again on the craft dp. I then cut the puppy out, and then the bunny and paper pieced them together on the white. I colored the bed in close to cocoa, choc chip, and barely banana. Next I stamped the border for the sentiment, I used a pen to ink it up so it wouldnt have the sentiment that was in the center. I wanted to add a different one. The flowers on this card have beads in the centers of them, and last I added the bows to the top, and on the sentiment tag. For the tutorial on the medallion here is a link to Becca's Tutorial.

What do you think????

Thanks for looking, and have a nice day!!!
