Warm Fuzzies!

This Bedtime Bear is just too cute and it's sure to put a smile on your face as you create with it.

Prismacolor pencils were used to color the image and I used the out of the box technique to help him fit the size panel I wanted to use.
The grid on the base was created with the Scor-Pal.
Ink distressing was done on all the layers except the image panel and very little on the sentiment panel which I printed on the computer and cut out with Spellbinders Nestabilities.

Birthday Hippo?

This post is really late! I had pre-scheduled it to post while I was at CHA today but it didn't post correctly and I had to wait till I could get to my laptop to fix it....so with out further ado, here is my Birthday "Hippo" card.

Do you notice anything strange about my "hippo"?

I thought he was really cute until I went to like the image that I used and realized that he's called "birthday Gator"...yes, you heard right...he's a gator...well, if you color him grey he looks like a hippos doesn't he?

I'm going to have to color him green on the next card I guess! Maybe we will find out that he is just that versatile of a stamp?

I would have redone him but I think the card turned out really cute and if I hadn't told you I bet you wouldn't have noticed, huh?

And besides...there is no way I could toss the image once it was colored! I hope you learned that there is no "mistake" in stamping that you can't fix or ignore.....

Thanks for stopping by!

One of Those Days!

I've had a few of these days so I can feel for this old cow!

-Prismacolor pencils for color on the image.

-Stickles were applied to the white dots on the black, blue flower centers on the yellow and the moon.

-Faux brads were cut out with the Tiny Tags die from Cuttlebug. They are attached with Aleene’s tacky glue.

-The scalloped edge is cut with the Garden Trellis punch from Martha Stewart; I used a narrow strip of cardstock to punch just the scallops.

The sentiment you see on the front of the card and inside are on the same image.  I masked off the rubber with sticky notes to ink up the line/lines I wanted to stamp.  The periods were added with a marker.

Stamps: QKR Stampede – 1501 Cow Jumping over Moon, 17107 One of Those Days

A Snowy Scene

Hi there! I hope you enjoyed our hop last weekend. I will be back later today with the winner of the $20 gift certificate...I wonder who will be the lucky hopper??? For now I wanted to share a card with you I made using the Snowman Scene image. I just love this stamp. It is such a cute image, and totally makes a card just by itself! The image measures 4 1/2 x 4 1/2...so the card I made with it is a 5x5 card. I stamped the image, and colored with watercolor crayons. Just like that, it is super cute! This is also the image I used on the tissue box cover I shared awhile back. I trimmed it down, and layered onto some patterned paper. I wanted to add a little sparkle, so I used some fine flecked glitter on the ball of the hat. That is it...that easy...or "Easy Peasy" as my 3 year old says...lol. There is really so much you can do with this scene, or the other snowman scene in the Snowman section of the QKR Stampede store. Check it out!

Black & White & Cream Beauty

Eureka Stamps is another part of QKR Stampede -God Gives Us Music is a wonderful size stamp to make a quick card.

 I had this pattern piece of paper in my stash and used it for the background. The black gem swirl is from Prima.
The black checked ribbon is from Really Reasonable Ribbon.
I cut the card stock and the stamped image out of a Spellbinder book shape.

In Love

Hi

We have already the 4th Tuesday of the month and that is my day, that I can show you a card.
Today I show you a card with the cute turtle from QKR Stampede. She is so cute. I love this image. The name of this image is "In Love".
I have not done a sentiment on the card, because I do not know when I'll need it. So I have all the possibilities before me - for a birthday, Valentine's Day or any other occasion.

I colored the turtle with watercolor pencils and I wiped with turpentine. The flowers were too small for the pencils, so I have painted this with Distress Ink.

Have a nice day
