S.O.C. October project

Hi Everyone,

October is synonymous with pumpkins. We carve them, bake them, chuck them, and do a host of other things with them. Well for my SOC DT project today I used my as the inspiration for my card and I colored one.

I was gifted a stamp some time ago, love the image and have been waiting for the perfect time to use it; and today is the day. 

I stamped her on kraft card stock and colored her in with my copuc markers. I love the color that you get using browns on kraft instead of white.  It's like I have a whole new set of markers.  I paper pieced her pumpkin outfit because sadly I have not invested in orange Copics, yet.  The pattern paper I used is from K & Company, Tim Coffey Fall Mat Pad.

So there you have it, my project for today.

I hope you try coloring on kraft card stock and let me know how you like the results.

Hello Card

Hi everybody,

So do you remember when I did the Prima Lyric Mini Album for a swap with a talented young lady in Sweden, well I made a card to accompany the package and i forgot to post it.  So when she shared the card on the FB group I grabbed up the photo and cropped it so that I could share it with you all. Then I asked the recipient if she could take a photo for me and she did and sent it and here is her photo. This one is better because you can click on the image and it expands.

It's a simple A2 (4.25x5.5) size card and I used the Mariposa Paper collection from DCWV and created this card. I used a variety of embellies on this card and i do love the way it came out.

I layered some lace, that I purchased at a local store here in OR on top of each other and I added some Recollections pink paper roses, silk white rolled roses from Trico, and flowers from my stash along with Studio 112 flat back pearls, Bridal pearl brad, and a crocheted Recollections flower.  Some stamens finish off the cluster and all this sits on a few Recollections leaves.  I added two wooden butterflies that I sprayed with homemade glitter mist (Pink Chiffon-Folk Art paint) and inked the edges with Vintage Photo distress ink.  I also used DecoArt gold Twinkles as the body of the big butterfly and some tiny pearls for the body of the little butterfly.  And lastly, using the Vintage Photo, I stamped Hello from  Stamp cluster from Michael's $1.50 bin.

And there you have a simple card to accompany the mini.

Just wanted to share this will you all, and I will see you all next time.

Collective Haul Part 1 & 2

Hi Everybody,

Today i am sharing with you a massive, collective haul purchased last Saturday.  Hubs and I started early in the morning with errands and shopping and our journey took us to places like Jo-Ann's, Michael's, and Walmart.  And then I received my order from My Favorite Things; it was a great day indeed!

Now, I filmed the video and attempted to upload it via my phone but the file was too big so I had break it down into two parts so that I could up load it.  Hence part 1 and part 2.  So here they are, I apologize about the lighting, I am working on it.  I already have some projects in mind for some of these items and i can't wait to get started on them and share them with you.

Part 1:

Spring Card Swap

Hi Everyone!!

I've shared with all of you that I participate in a card group at my local Scrapbook store.  We exchange cards not only with each other but we also make extra cards to give to the local hospital.  The card I made "Spring Card - Delight" was the card that I was going swap with but I made a different card that I shared with.  The theme of the swap was Spring with the challenge being to use flowers.

As simple as this card is I didn't realize all the resources I used to create this card.  But I love the country feel to this spring card.

What I used...
~Colorbok Sweet Summer Paper Pad
~Recollections Brown Card Stock & White Card Stock
~Fiskars Scalloped Daisy Border Punch
~Studio G Brown Pigment Ink
~Studio 112
~Ivory and White Mulberry Flowers
~Studio G Pink Glitter Glue

I pray you all enjoyed this card as much as I enjoyed making it.  Thank you all for stopping by and I will see you all next time.  :D

Tootles,

Spring Card Delight

Hi Everybody!

Today I want to ask you all for your opinion.  I am a part of a local card making group at my local craft store. We make cards to showcase and swap with each other each month and also to give away to the local hospitals.  This month's theme is Spring and the challenge is to use Flowers on the card.  I created this card and I think it's lovely but I would love to know your opinions.

The paper line is from Studio 112 and is foiled and shimmered (though you may not be able to see the shimmer in the photo).  The sentiment stamp I used is from Studio G and the butterfly stamp is from the Michael's $1.50 bin.  The card stock is from Recollections.  I just love the weight of the'r kraft card stock.  It is just so strong!! 

Anywho, what do you think?

So here it is, my project today.  I want to thank all of you for stopping by!  And I will see you all next time.

Tootles.
