Birthday Dragon and Fireman

Mar30

Hi There,

Sharing a card that I made for my older brother’s birthday this year. He’s a fireman and we are all very proud of him. Thought I’d make him a humorous card this year.

On the front, I used stamp from High Hopes – Warm Wishes S106.

Here is a close-up:

Stamped image with Memento – Tuxedo Black and coloured in with a mixture of Copics and Spectrum Noir Markers.

Sentiment is from My Creative Time – Make A Wish.

Die cuts around sentiment – Craftin Desert Diva’s – Crazy Stitched Frames.

Die cuts around dragon – Lawn Fawn Zig Zag Rectangle Stackables – Item #LF135.

Background paper – Party Girl by Samantha Walker (flip side).

For the inside I typed up my own sentiment on the computer and then cut around it and attached it to the card.

Fireman is from Kit and Clowder September 2016 monthly markers class. Stamp is Fireman Luka by La La Land Crafts and was coloured in with Copics.

 

Hope your like it!

Miss Kate Cuttables – Guest Designer

Mar17

 

 

Surprise!  I’m a guest designer for Miss Kate Cuttables again this year! Miss Kate Cuttables offers awesome freebie designs everyday and I always look forward to them. I also love their designs and their new paper is great too! I just had to have it as it goes so well with their designs!

I LOVE Christmas and make over 55 cards every year to give to family and friends. I thought why not start early this year and so I made a Christmas themed card for my guest spot.

Using my Cricut Explore and Cricut Design Space I uploaded Miss Kate Cuttables “boy-winter-deer-1016” (https://www.misskatecuttables.com/products/product/boy-winter-deer.php). I thought he was sooo cute! Added some Ranger Glossy Accents to his nose and eyes.  Wink of Stella – GL Green 040 was used on the ear muffs.

Here is a close-up of the little reindeer.

 

Also, uploaded one of my all time favourite trees from Miss Kate Cuttables – snowy-tree-10-07-15 (https://www.misskatecuttables.com/products/product/freebie-of-the-day-snowy-tree.php). I’ve used this tree on so many of my cards. Added some glitter with Spectrum Noir Clear Glitter Pen.

The background paper is from Miss Kate Cuttables – “mkd-winter-woodland-paper-collection” – winter woodland reindeer.jpg (https://www.misskatecuttables.com/products/product/winter-woodland-paper-collection.php). Printed out the digital image on my HP Printer and then sized it to 6″ x 6″ and edge around the sides with Tim Holtz Distress Inks – Peeled Paint.

Behind the reindeer the paper is from American Crafts – Holiday collection – 6 x 6″ (15.2 cm x 15.2 cm). Used My Creative Time -Stitched Squares Inside and Out to cut out the square and then edged around the sides of the small square with Tim Holtz Distress Inks – Peacock Feathers

The hills were made with Recollections – Christmas Inkjet Printable Glitter Paper – 8.5″ x 11″ and Lawn Fawn – Lawn Cut dies.  Then used  Tim Holtz Distress Inks – Tumbled Glass along the tops of the hills.

“Merry Christmas” ribbon is by Celebrate It!

Miss Kate Cuttables, thank you so much for inviting me to be a part of your guest design team again this year. It truly is a great honour and it made me so happy!
