Mother’s Hug!

May22

Today, I’m sharing a Mother’s Day card that I made for my mom this year using Stampingbella – Curvy Girl BIG HUG (eb1019). Our mom is very special to all of us and she was like a mom to several other families growing up as well. She has a heart of gold and is loved by everyone. She loved her card and I hope you do too!

To create the card, I began with a card base of 6″ x 6″ using AC Cardstock – White. Recollections – Matte Gold Foil cardstock was cut to the same size as the base and adhered with double-sided tape. Dollarama – Crafts Designer Paper – 02-3093268 was cut to the size of 5.75″ x 5.75″. The edges were inked with Tim Holtz Distress Ink – Saltwater Taffy and then I popped this piece onto the base card using U-Line Double-Sided tape.

Using my Cuttlebug and Gina Marie Designs – Nested Scalloped Stitched Rectangles , I die cut Recollections – Matte Gold Foil cardstock and Copic Marker X-Press It Blending Card cardstock. I used the dotted lines as a guideline and cut away the outer edges from the Copic Marker X-Press It Blending Card cardstock so that it would fit perfectly inside the gold frame.

Using my MISTI and Memento – Tuxedo Black ink, I stamped the image from Stampingbella – Curvy Girl BIG HUG. The image was coloured in with Copic markers. With my MISTI, I stamped the sentiment from the same stamp set using VersaMark ink and then heat embossed it using Ranger – Super Fine Gold embossing powder and Marvy Uchida – Embossing Heat Tool. I cut around the sentiment and then used a UNI Posca Pen – Gold to go around the edges.

U-Line Double-Sided tape was added to the gold rectangle frame, coloured image and sentiment. All were then popped up onto the card. To finish it off, a few PinkFresh Studio Essentials – Ombre Glitter Drops: Sparkle & Shine (#PF113ES) were added around the image and the card.

Music Speaks!

Mar18

Today I’m sharing a music card using KLM Digital Design – Keyboard Gnome from the new March release. This image also comes with 2 more sentiments, “Turn up the volume close your eyes and let the music take over your soul” and “Music is the voice of the soul”. No words were truer spoken, music is all around us and there is something out there for everyone to listen to!

Hammermill – Premium Colour 100 lb. cardstock was used to create a 5.5″ x 5.5″ card base. Anna Griffin – Musical Cardstock & Vellum paper was cut to the same size as the base card. Using a Sharpie – Gold Medium Point – Water Based Paint pen, I inked around all of the edges and then adhered it to the base card with double-sided tape. Recollections – Matte Gold Foil cardstock was die cut 5 times using my Cuttlebug and Joy! Crafts – Cutting and Embossing Dance to the Music die. Using liquid glue, I applied each layer on top of each other and then glued it to the bottom of the card base.

The image and sentiment were imported into Microsoft Word and printed out onto Copic Marker X-Press It Blending Card. I coloured in the image and fussy cut around it and the sentiment. The edges of the image were inked around with a black marker and the sentiments were adhered onto Recollections – Matte Gold Foil cardstock and then fussy cut again.

The card was now ready to assemble. I added 3M VHB – 2 sided pop-up tape to the backs of the sentiments and image and then popped up all of the pieces onto the card to complete it.

Sweet Note of Thanks!

Today I’m sharing a Thank-you card using Your Next Stamp – Music Bunny – CYNS262. I was recently on a cruise and we met some new wonderful couples that sat at the tables next to ours and we exchanged information. Unknown to us until the final evening, the couple that sat directly beside us was Steven Gilliland and his wonderful wife Diane. Steven happens to be a very well known acclaimed author and public speaker. My husband and I were so happy when Steven sent us a few of his books, “Making a Difference” and a “Cherry On Top”. Steven had personally autographed them to us as well. What a kind and awesome gesture and it was very much appreciated. We are currently reading his books and just love them. As a thank you for their kind generosity, I sent them this card from my husband and I.

To create the card, I began with a card base of 5.5″ x 5.5″ using Hammermill – Premium Colour 100 lb. cardstock. I cut Recollections – Matte Gold Foil cardstock to be the same size as the base card and applied double-sided tape to it. This was adhered directly to the base card. Next, I cut a piece of Hammermill – Premium Colour 100 lb. cardstock to the size of 5.25″ x 5.25″. I sprayed some water onto the paper and then using Kraftin’ Kimmie – Musical Melodies stencil I placed it on top of the paper and ran it through my Cricut Die Cutting machine to emboss the paper. Once the paper was dry, I placed the stencil over top of the paper again and this time, using Tim Holtz Distress Ink – Black Soot and a blending brush, I coloured in the musical notes. I also inked around the edges with the same ink and a mini dauber.

Using my Cuttlebug and PinkFresh Studio – Essentials – Blanket Stitched Square 4″ dies, I die cut Copic Marker X-Press It Blending Card. The main image was stamped onto this die cut using Memento – Tuxedo Black ink and my MISTI. I coloured in the image and created my own background. Once this was completed, I put the image back into my MISTI and stamped the sentiment using Versa Fine – Onyx Black ink. Ranger – Clear Super Fine Detail embossing powder was applied over top of the ink and then heat embossed with a Marvy Uchida – Embossing Heat Tool. The little notes were added with Versa Fine – Onyx Black ink and a miniature stamping block. I just chose several notes and stamped them randomly around the image. I felt like the image was still missing something, so I decided to take my Copic black marker (100) and using the lines from the die cut as a guide, coloured in every second stripe. I thought this made it look like a piano keyboard. Lastly, My Creative Time – Stitched Squares Inside and Out 4.5″ were used to die cut Recollections – Matte Gold Foil cardstock.

The card was now ready to assemble. I added U-Line double-sided pop-up tape to the back of the music square, gold square and image. Each of them were popped onto each other and centred onto the base card.

Special Thank You!

Feb20

Today I’m sharing a Thank-you card using Stampin’ Up – Bella and Friends. I was recently on a cruise and forgot to bring a Thank-you card for our Stateroom Attendant. Her name was Monalisa and she was such a super nice lady who was always smiling and super nice.  I told her that I made homemade cards and wanted to make sure that I sent her a special one just for her. Monalisa told me that she loved Lhasa Aspos and so I tried to make this little puppy look like one.

Anna Griffin – Shaker Card Kit was used to make the base and front of the card. The size was 5″ x 5″. I applied the pre-made shaker envelope directly to base card using double sided tape. Once again, I applied double-sided tape to the the shaker bag and then applied the top part of the card from the kit. From the same kit, I also added some liquid glue to the back of the large fancy heart and applied it directly over top of the heart shape on the front of the card.

With a stamping block and little dog stamp from Stampin’ Up – Bella and Friends, I inked the stamp with Memento – Tuxedo Black ink and then stamped it twice off to the side on some spare paper and then onto Copic Marker X-Press It Blending Card. This left the outline nice and light, almost like a no-line stamped image. I wanted it this way as most of the puppy was white and I just wanted the furry outline to look like a shadow. Once the puppy was coloured, I fussy cut around it and added some U-Line Double-Sided tape and popped it up onto the front of the card.

With my Cuttlebug and dies from PaperCrafter Today – 15 Die Cut Sentiment Set, I die cut the words “Thank You” from some scrap Hammermill – Premium Colour 100 lb. cardstock and Recollections – Matte Gold Foil cardstock. I applied some liquid glue to the backs of the 2 die cuts and after joining the 2 cuts together, applied them to the front of the card as well. Lastly, to complete the card, I added some little hearts from Doodlebug Design Inc. – Shape Sprinkles – love this! and rainbow hearts.

Sending You Love!!

Feb19

So happy to be colouring and creating again. I went away on a Southern Caribbean cruise at the beginning of the month and unfortunately, 3 days after being back ended up very sick with Covid. My husband was sick as well, even though we have both had all of our shots and 2 boosters. I’m so glad that we had our shots though, as I would never like to see what we would have gone through, had we not had the shots. We’re both slowly still recovering, but have a little more energy these days. We are still planning our next vacation though, as life must go on. LOL! On a good note, we did meet some really nice people on our voyage and one of them was even an international best selling author and his wife was wonderful too! Wow! How amazing is that? We were so blessed that he sent us two of his books, which I am really enjoying. I’m a little late in showcasing my cards for February, but hopefully, you’ll be seeing a lot more from me in the next little while!

*************

Today I’m sharing a special card using KLM Digital Design – Valentine Gnome II from the new February release. I was a little late for Valentine’s Day, but I found this sentiment and thought it went perfect with this image.

Hammermill – Premium Colour 100 lb. cardstock was used to create a 5.5″ x 4.25″ card base. I taped off the bottom half at 4.25″ from the top of the card with some Post-It Note tape. Using a blending brush and Tim Holtz Distress Inks – Festive Berries, I inked the whole top of the card. I taped Kraftin’ Kimmie – Happy Hearts Stencil on top of the inked portion of the base card and with a blending brush and Tim Holtz Distress Inks – Candied Apple, stenciled in the hearts. With the stencil remaining in place, using a spatula and Nuvo Glimmer Paste – Moonstone, I added glitter to the hearts and set the card aside to for the paste to dry.

The main image was brought into Microsoft Word and sized to approximately 3.75″ x 3″. It was printed out onto Copic Marker X-Press It Blending Card and coloured in with Copic markers. This was then fussy cut leaving a thin border around it. I used a C1 Copic marker to go around the entire image so that it wasn’t pure white. The sentiment was stamped onto Hammermill – Premium Colour 100 lb. cardstock using my MISTI and Sending Love Cubbies Stamp by Art Impressions using Memento – Lady Bug ink. With the Cuttlebug, the sentiment was cut out using Poppystamps – Christmas Quotes dies. Penny Black – Graceful Stackers dies were also used to cut out a scrap piece of Recollections – Matte Gold Foil cardstock at the same time. Using the same blending brush, I brushed around the edges of the sentiment die cut to give it some extra colour. I cut a small piece of red cardstock to the size of 3/8″ x 4.25″ and ran it through a Xyron Create a Sticker and applied it to the card to break up the joining between the stenciled background and white background.

The rest of the card was now ready to assemble. I applied U-Line double-side tape to the backs of the coloured image, sentiment and gold frame. I added some liquid glue to the tape behind the image to make it stick better to the background with the paste and popped it up onto the card. The sentiment and frame were both popped up onto the card below the coloured image and to finish everything off, Doodlebug Design Inc. – Shape Sprinkles – Love This! hearts were added.

Delivering Candy Angel!!

Dec22

Today, I’m sharing a Christmas card that I made using Polkadoodles stamp called Delivering Candy – Winnie Angel. It’s hard to believe that Christmas is only a few days away. This little Christmas angel is all set to make someone’s Christmas very special.

To create this card I began by making a base of 5.5″ x 4.25″ using Hammermill – Premium Colour 100 lb. cardstock. Hot Buy Craft Smart – Holiday Glitz Glitter Paper was cut to the same size and attached to the base card using double-sided tape. I imported the image into Microsoft Word and then printed it out using High Quality Grayscale onto Copic Marker X-Press It Blending Card cardstock. This stops the ink from smudging when you colour the image with your markers.

With my Cuttlebug, I die-cut the image and Recollections – Matte Gold Foil cardstock using Penny Black Creative Dies – Antique Frame. U-Line double-sided tape was attached to the larger die-cut and it was popped up onto the centre of the card. I coloured in the image using Copic markers and then added Stickles – Diamond to the snow on the bottom. With a UNIPosca PC-3M White marker, I created the snow in the sky. Wink of Stella – Clear was applied to the wings and the halo. Once the Stickles dried, I adhered the coloured image layer to the card using U-Line double-sided tape as well.

Let Your Voice Sing!!

Nov30

Today, I’m sharing a Christmas card that I made using Dreamerland Crafts stamps called Let Your Voice Sing – D15205 for the main image and Sentiment – Holiday Sentiments 003 – DS163003. Growing up we always had so much fun gathering with friends and family and singing Christmas carols.

To create this card I began by making a base of 5.5″ x 4.25″ using Hammermill – Premium Colour 100 lb. cardstock. Recollections – Matte Gold Foil cardstock was cut to be the same size as the base and then adhered to the card using double-sided tape. Using my Cuttlebug and Hammermill – Premium Colour 100 lb. cardstock, I embossed the music design with a Cuttlebug – ProvoCraft – Allegro embossing folder. I cut it down to the size of 5.25″ x 4″ and adhered it directly to the base card.

Utilizing the Cuttlebug again and Copic Marker X-Press It Blending Card cardstock, the die-cut for the image was cut out with Spellbinders – Elegant Ovals. With a MISTI, the main image was stamped onto the die cut. It was coloured in and then a Sharpie – Gold Medium Point – Water Based Paint pen was used to colour in the fancy border surrounding the image. The sentiment was stamped with my MISTI and VersaMark ink. Ranger Super Fine Gold Embossing powder was applied to the ink and then heat embossed using a Marvy Uchida – Embossing Heat Tool. I fussy cut around the sentiment. U-Line double-sided tape was applied to the sentiment and coloured image and they were both popped up onto the card. To finish the card off, I applied Dress It Up – Glitter Holly buttons with liquid glue from their Holiday Collection.

Wild Flowers – Just A Note

Sharing a card I made today using KLM Digital Design – Milk Can – Wildflowers from the October 2022 release. This image comes with 2 other sentiments as well, “You make it beautiful” and “Some people, like flowers, just give pleasure by being“.

I created a 5.5″ x 4.25″ card base using Hammermill – Premium Colour 100 lb. cardstock. The image and sentiment were imported into Microsoft Word and printed out onto Copic Marker X-Press It Blending Card.  Using my Cuttlebug and My Creative Time – Rectangle Frame Layers, I die cut the printed image and sentiment. With the Gina Marie Designs – Loopy Rectangle Die Set and my Cuttlebug, I die cut Recollections – Matte Gold Foil cardstock. With Tim Holtz Distress Inks – Tumbled Glass and a finger dauber, the edges of the base card were inked all around. U-Line double-sided tape was applied to the back of the die cut and it was popped up onto the base card.

The image was coloured in with Copic markers. U-Line double-sided tape was applied to the back of the coloured image and it was popped up onto gold die cut. YNS – Cosmic Crush Gumdrops were added to complete the card.

Welcome The New Couple!!

Jul23

Today, I’m sharing a Wedding card that I made for my cousin who recently got married using Dreamerland Crafts stamps called Welcome The New Couple – D18017.  We wish them a very long and happy marriage as they begin their new journey together as one.

To make this card I used a base of 5.5″ x 4.25″ using Hammermill – Premium Colour 100 lb. cardstock. I die cut Copic Marker X-Press It Blending Card using my Anna Griffin Empress Mini Machine and Gina Marie Designs – Loopy Oval. The image was then stamped onto this die cut using my MISTI, Memento – Tuxedo Black ink and Welcome The New Couple – D18017 – Dreamerland Crafts stamp. I coloured in the image using copic markers and created the background. For the sentiment, I first ran all of the pieces of cardstock through my Xyron Create a Sticker. Then, using my Anna Griffin Empress Mini Machine and dies from PaperCrafter Today – 15 Die Cut Sentiment Set, I die cut the “Congratulations” 2 times from plain white cardstock and 1 time from Recollections – Matte Gold Foil cardstock. I then pieced them all together to give an embossing effect. I applied U-Line double-side tape to the back of the coloured image and popped it up on top of the base card. Lastly, I attached the sentiment to complete the card.

Thank You!!

Jun1

It’s Wednesday, and this week, I made a Thank You card using High Hopes Rubber Stamps Gladiolas – TDG038 for the image. We are super excited to re-release 9 previously retired images today. This is the first image of many more to come!

It’s spring and my husband is busy in his garden, planting some beautiful flowers. Every year, he asks me what colours I would like to have in the garden and then he puts together a gorgeous display. Thank goodness he is taking care of them, because a green thumb is certainly something I was not blessed with. LOL!

To make my card this week, I began with a card base of Hammermill – Premium Colour 100 lb. cardstock, cut and scored to be 5.5″ x 4.25″. I cut Crafter’s Consortium – The Essential Craft Papers – Ink Drops – Ocean to be the same size as the base and adhered it with double-sided tape. I cut 2 .5″ strips of Recollections – Matte Gold Foil cardstock and adhered a piece on each side of the card using glue. I die cut the words “Thank You” using the same Matte Gold foil cardstock, PaperCrafter Today – 15 Die Cut Sentiment Set and my Anna Griffin Empress Mini Machine. I ran the words through my Xyron Create a Sticker and set them to the side.

The image was stamped onto Copic Marker X-Press It Blending Card and coloured in with Copic Markers. I fussy cut around the image and added some U-Line double-sided tape to the back of it. The images was then popped up onto card. I added the words “Thank You” that I had turned into stickers earlier to complete the card.

Stamp: Gladiolas – TDG038 (High Hopes Rubber Stamps)

A Flower For You Mom!!

May2

Today, I’m sharing a Mother’s Day card that I made using Dreamerland Crafts stamps called Say Love With Flowers – D162017. It’s that time of year when we all get to celebrate our Mother’s special day. A bond between a child and their mother is something so special and rare! Happy Mother’s Day to all of you special ladies out there and especially to my mom whom we all love dearly!

To make this card I used a base of 6″ x 6″ using AC White Cardstock cardstock. Recollections – Matte Gold Foil cardstock was cut to the same size as the base and adhered with double-sided tape. P13 – Hello Spring was cut to 5.75″ x 5.75″ and the edges were inked with Tim Holtz Distress Ink – Saltwater Taffy. This was popped up onto the base card using U-Line double-sided tape. Using my Cuttlebug and PinkFresh Studio Essentials – Blanket Stitched Oval die, I die cut Copic Marker X-Press It Blending Card. The main image was stamped using my MISTI and Memento – Tuxedo Black ink. I coloured in the image using copic markers and created the background. Once the background was completed, I dipped a Q-tip into some Rubbing Alcohol ink and dotted it all over the background. Then using a Ranger – Emboss It Pen Clear, I went around the oval where the pattern was and applied Ranger Super Fine Gold Embossing powder. then heated it with my Marvy Uchida – Embossing Heat Tool. I applied U-Line double-sided tape to the back of the image and popped it up onto the card. For the sentiment, I used the stamps from Die Cutting Essentials Magazine – Issue 75 – Geo Floral Wreath Dies & Stamps. Using my MISTI, Versamark ink and Ranger Embossing Powder White – Extra Fine Detail, I embossed the sentiment onto a scrap piece of green cardstock. I fussy cut around the sentiment and applied U-Line double-side tape to pop it up at the bottom of the card.

Somebunny Loves You!!

Apr20

It’s Wednesday, and this week, I made a card using High Hopes Rubber Stamps Bunny Blossoms – TDG024 for the image and Some Bunny – FDG032 for the sentiment. I just love this super adorable little bunny taking time to smell the flowers. Spring is here, but the winter snow keeps playing tricks on us still. LOL! We just had another snow storm the other day. I thought April was supposed to bring Spring showers, not Spring snow!!!

To make my card this week, I began with a card base of AC Cardstock – White, cut and scored to be 6″ x 6″. I cut the Recollections – Matte Gold Foil cardstock background paper to the size of 6″ x 6″ and adhered it directly to the base using double-sided tape. Crafts Designer Paper – 02-3093268 was cut to the size of 5.75″ x 5.75″ and inked around the edges with Tim Holtz Distress Ink – Black Soot. I applied U-Line double-double sided tape and popped the paper onto the gold backing. Using my Couture Creations – Go Power and Emboss and Waffle Flower – Nesting Square dies, I die cut another square from Recollections – Matte Gold Foil cardstock and Copic Marker X-Press It Blending Card. I popped up the gold square onto the bunny background and stamped the main image onto the Copic Marker X-Press It Blending Card using my MISTI and Memento – Tuxedo Black.

The image was coloured in with Copic Markers. I though I’d go out of my comfort zone this week to create this sky with a variety of different colours. I thought it still needed something more so I added in some clouds using a PrimaColor Pencil – White. I also added in some extra fur with PrimaColor Pencil – Beige. Once, I was satisfied with the sky, I added U-Line double-sided tape to the back of it and it too was popped up onto the card. The sentiment was stamped onto Copic Marker X-Press It Blending Card using my MISTI and Memento – Tuxedo Black. I fussy cut around it and then applied it to a small piece of Recollections – Matte Gold Foil cardstock using repositionable tape. I used my Brother Scan and Cut to cut around the image with a slight border. I coloured around the circle stamped image with RV000 and then used a black marker to go all around the edges. I applied U-Line double-sided tape and popped it up onto the gold die-cut. Lastly, 2 layers of the U-Line double-sided tape were applied to the right side only of the sentiment and glue to the left and attached it to the base coloured paper to finish off the card.
