Dinosaur Pilgrim!!

Sep14

Hi Everyone, I took most of the summer off to enjoy the beautiful weather and also to visit family, so I didn’t make a lot of cards. But, now I’m back and ready to start sharing some weekly creations with all of you!

Today, I’m sharing a Thanksgiving card from the new KLM Designs September release called Dinosaur Pilgrim.  He’s loving the fall colours and is sending everyone some special wishes! This stamp set also comes with 2 other sentiments, “Autumn Blessings” and “Happy Thanksgiving”.

To make the card, I first imported the image and sentiment into Microsoft Word. I sized both the image and sentiment to fit 5.5″ x 4.25″ and printed everything out onto Copic Marker X-Press It Blending Card using my HP Printer. The image was coloured in with Copic markers. Gelly Roll Sakura #8 Pen was used to create the whites of the eyes. I drew in the tree and leaves on the tree and added in the sky and background. A Black PrismaColor pencil was used to go around the entire image of the Dinosaur, pumpkin and leaves on the ground to make them stand out more. I fussy cut around the sentiment and ran both pieces through a Xyron Create a Sticker and attached 1 piece to some orange and the other to some green scrap cardstock that I had. Scrapbook Adhesives 3D Foam Strips were added to the back of the sentiments and they were both popped up onto card.

Small Seeds of Gratitude!!

Nov9

Today I’m sharing  Harvest II Gnome (KLM Digital Designs) image from the November release. This adorable little Gnome comes with 3 different sentiments. One of them, I have used here. The others are “You are the Pumpkin to my pie” and “For the cutest Pumpkin in the patch”. Happy Thanksgiving to all of our American friends from Canada!

I printed out the main image onto Copic Marker X-Press It Blending Card and the sentiment on to Recollections white paper using my HP Printer. I used my Brother Scan and Cut to cut around the image and coloured it in with Copic markers. The sentiment was inked around the edges with Tim Holtz Distress Ink – Carved Pumpkin. I ran the coloured image and the sentiment through my Xyron Creative Station to make them into stickers and then attached both of them to some Recollections black cardstock. I used my small cutter to cut a small border around the sentiment and fussy cut the small border around the image.

The patterned background is from Echo Park – Happy Fall. I cut it to be 5.5″ x 2″ and then inked around the edges with Tim Holtz Distress Ink – Carved Pumpkin. The card was now ready to assemble. I started out with a white base of 5.5″ x 4.25″. I attached the patterned background directly to the base using double-sided tape. Then I glued the image onto the base. The sentiment was popped up  using 3M VHB – 2 sided tape. To finish off the card, I added in some Kraftin’ Kimmie – Pastel Dots.
