Wacky Whippet Stamper

You ...

2016-05-09T17:41:00.000-05:00

Today's card was inspired by a WPlus9 video I watched on YouTube.

I thought the effect of layering the same distress ink color had a unique look. The stamp set, You, is from Simon Says and the ink color is Peacock Feathers. I added a few sequins by Verve to finish off the card and to cover up an inky finger print.

Thanks for stopping by and as always ... have a great day!

Online Card Class Day 4

2016-05-03T18:02:00.000-05:00

Here is the last of my homework for my Online Card Class. There are still more projects that are on my to do list. I wanted to do at least one card per class. This card was cased from Jennifer McGuire's class. I made a vellum card and dry embossed the front panel.

The happy was designed and cut out from Scan n Cut. I added some wink of stella to add some sparkle. The hearts were also cut from my Scan n Cut from a pattern that is included with the machine.

This was a fun class, Clear and Sheer, and would definitely participate in another one.

Thanks for stopping by and as always ... have a great day!

Clear tag for Card Class day 3

2016-05-01T19:56:00.000-05:00

Over at Online Card Classes for day 3, we are working with acetate techniques. I decided to make the clear tag. Unfortunately I didn't have heavy weight acetate but it still worked.

Here is what I came up with ...

I used Lawn Fawn's Critters on the Farm and Chit Chat. This picture does not do this tag justice. It is actually two tags tied together so the card is two layers. The fence,bird and sentiment are on the first tag and the barn, pig, bird and green paper are on the second tag. I also added foam tape to the sentiment to add a bit more dimension. Turned out to be a cute little tag. This technique was all new to me. I used Copics to color the images.

Now I need to do my homework for day 4.

Thanks for stopping by and as always ... have a great day!

Card from Class 2

2016-04-29T20:31:00.000-05:00

Turning in my homework from Class 2 and hope I don't lose credit for being so slow about completing my work. LOL Today was Class 4 and I haven't even started on Class 3 yet. The Online Card Classes are done professionally and I'm really enjoying them. If you ever need something to help get your mojo back, I highly recommend their classes.

Here is my card which showcases muting patterned paper with vellum ...

Stamps: Sending Hoping Wishing (WPlus9)

Paper: Island Indigo, Real Red (SU), Vellum

DSP: My Minds Eye

Ink: Island Indigo, Versamark

Accessories: Butterfly die (SU), gems, clear embossing powder

Back to blogging ...

2016-04-28T15:47:00.001-05:00

After over a year of not blogging, I am going to try it again. I enrolled in a class, Online Card Classes, and wanted to upload my card to their site. I debated back and forth if I wanted to do this venture again. Well, here it goes ...

Stamps: You (Simon Says Stamps)

Paper: black (SU), teal, watercolor (Canson), vellum

Ink: Peacock Feathers, Crushed Olive, Spiced Marmalade, Mustard Seed (Distress Inks), Black (Versafine), Versamark

Accessories: clear embossing powder, sequins, leaf die (Spellbinders)

I watercolored the background and die cut the leaves three times. After attaching the watercolored piece to the teal paper, I clear embossed the leaves and then put them back into their correct cutout with foam tape. The sentiments are also clear embossed.

This card was inspired by Kristina Werner's card over at Online Card Classes.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!

Hoppy Easter eggs ...

2015-03-30T19:46:00.001-05:00

Got a few minutes in my craft room this afternoon so thought I would play along with the folks at Mod Squad Challenge. The challenge this week is to make an Easter card. Here's mine ...

Stamps: Hoppy Easter (Verve); Bunny Buddies (SU)

Paper: White, Pink Pirouette, Lucky Limeade (SU)

Ink: Black (Memento & Versafine)

Accessories: Copics; washi tape, clear embossing powder (Michaels); polka dot embossing folder (CuttleBug); glitter pen (Wink of Stella); Scan n Cut (Brother)

The grass was cut with with my Brother Scan n Cut. The eggs were stamped, colored and cut out with Brother. The blue panel is washi tape which I am just starting to use and liking it. A little late to jump on that band wagon.

Thanks for stopping by and as always ...

Have a great day!

With a little luck ...

2015-03-13T21:22:00.002-05:00

Popping in with a card for Tuesday Morning Sketches. Wanted to pass on little love and luck to my family with this cute leprechaun.

Stamps: Lucky Me (SU)

Paper: White, Black (SU); Vellum (Recollections)

DP: Polka Dots (Recollections)

Ink: Versamark; Black (Memento)

Accessories: black embossing powder (Recollections); square & scallop die (Spellbinders); Scan n Cut (Brother); corner rounder (WRMK); glimmer gem, pop dots; Copics

Had a lot of fun creating this card. I actually made four of them since they were pretty easy to create. Mr Leprechaun was colored with Copics and then cut out with my Scan n Cut. I also cut out a bunch of four leaf clovers that I put inside each card. I'm sure they would rather it be money falling out. Absolutely loving this machine!

Have a great day!

2015-03-10T14:14:00.002-05:00

Once again posting this on the last day. This card is for the Mod Squad Challenge which is to make your own background. Thought I would pull out my Lots of Washi stamp set and attempt my background.

Ink: Walnut (Lawn Fawn)

Accessories: colored pencils (Prismacolor); OMS; Scan n Cut (Brother); oval die (Spellbinders); square embossing folder (Cuttlebug); glossy accents (Ranger); pop dots (Michaels)

Thought I would use a different medium other than my Copics. They are still my favorite coloring tool.

This card was supposed to be entered into the Tuesday Morning Sketch which closed at 7 p.m. tonight. I got the card finished around 5 and went to show it to my hubby.

Oh well, at least I got a nice head massage out of it and a cute card.

MOJO Birthday

2015-01-11T16:41:00.001-06:00

Two post in one day ... hmm. I was not going to add this card to my blog since the picture is awful. The card itself is cute in real life. The pic is bad because it was taken quickly on the kitchen counter. My husband wanted to take it to work to show his co-worker the results of the Scan N Cut. The friend's wife is into crafts also. My dear hubby forgot to bring the card home Friday. So, here it is ...

Stamps: Small Packages (Verve)

Paper: Baja Breeze, Blushing Bride, White (SU)

DP: Just Add Cake (SU)

Ink: Versafine onyx black; Baja Breeze, Poppy Parade, Blushing Bride, Wild Wasabi (SU)

Accessories: Baja Breeze ribbon (SU); clear embossing powder; Copics; Scan N Cut (Brother)

This will be added to the MOJO Monday blog which also closes in a few hours. I stamped the Happy Birthday panel to add more interest to this already busy card...lol.

Here is the inspiration sketch ...

Popping in with another card. This one is for MOJO Monday. I flipped the middle panel to work better with Mr. Hooty. Thought this card turned out cute until I colored the gray under his feet.
