Just For Fun December Challenge

Hi Everyone! I can't believe this is the first day of December and that Christmas is right around the corner! I want to show you a Christmas card I made using Just For Fun stamps. On this card I used the Leaping Dear and Merry Christmas stamps.

I started with a background that I made using a gelli plate and a stencil. I stamped the deer onto the background and colored it using a bronze metallic colored pencil. I also stamped Merry Christmas under the deer and added thin red and gold metallic washi tapes across the card. Enamel dots were used for Rudolph's nose and for embellishment.

The challenge this month is to make a card for any holiday. I hope you will join in. I would love to see your creations and you might even win a gift certificate to the store!

Thanks so much for stopping by. Have a wonderful Christmas season!

Hi and welcome to my blog! Even though the Christmas season is fast approaching I am showing one more Fall card. I made this shabby chic card using Rubber Stamp Tapestry stamps and made a Fall wreath. I cut the wreath out using the Gina Marie Stitched Circle die, sponged the edges with brown ink and filled in the "stitching" using a brown marker.

I colored the bird, by Dina Wakely, using alcohol markers. I stamped a script stamp on the gold card stock background, ran kraft card stock through a weave embossing folder and swiped a dark brown ink pad over the raised areas. Silk leaves and a bow were added for embellishment. The edges of the background and "Hello" were also sponged with brown ink.

I hope you had a Happy Thanksgiving. Have a wonderful day!

Christmas Is Near!

Hi and welcome to my blog. I hope you had a nice Thanksgiving! I want to show you a card I made with a brand new Christmas tree stamp from Just For Fun Stamps called Skinny Tree.

I stamped the tree six times on different patterned papers, leaving the trunk on the middle one. I fussy cut them and adhered them to the card. The "snow" at the bottom of the card was made by using a swirl punch. I added silver star stickers on the top of each tree. 

There is still time to join in this month's challenge, using red, orange and brown colors. We hope to see you there!

Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful day!

A Fall Day

Hi and welcome to my blog. I am glad you stopped by today! I want to show you a Fall card I made using the Penny Black Snowy Park stamp. I made this stamp look like a Fall day instead of a snowy day!

I used two backgrounds that I made where I had put alcohol inks on one piece of glossy card stock and then placed the glossy side of another piece on top and pulled them apart. It made sort of an ink blot print. I stamped the trees on one of the backgrounds, cut it out and adhered it to black card stock. I then adhered the image to the other background. All of that was layered on another piece of black card stock and then adhered to the gold card base. I added a wooden leaf, cord and sequins for embellishment.

I hope you have a wonderful day!

Shabby Chic #21

Hi Everyone! Welcome to my blog. Thanksgiving is coming soon! I want to show you a shabby chic Thanksgiving card I made. I love this image from Inkadinkado. I colored it using alcohol markers, cut it out using the Gina Marie Stitched Oval die and sponged the edges with brown ink. I filled in the "stitching" with a brown marker.

The frame, brown embossed panel and swirl are Spellbinder dies. I added red metallic dots and a bow for embellishment. The card base was also sponged around the edges with brown ink.

Thanks so much for stopping by. I hope you will have a blessed Thanksgiving.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Thanksgiving is right around the corner, so I want to wish you a Happy Thanksgiving! I used a brand new turkey stamp from Just For Fun Stamps called Wild Turkey. We have had a flock of turkeys around our neighborhood for the past few months. It has been fun seeing them!

I colored the turkey using colored pencils, fussy cut it and pop dotted it to the background. The background was made by using a weave embossing folder and then swiping the raised areas with brown ink. I cut the leaves using the Memory Box Fresh Foliage die, cut from an inked background. I stamped the saying on the Spellbinders Fancy Tag die and sponged brown ink on the edges. The background was layered on red and brown card stock.

I hope that you will join in this month's challenge -- the theme is to use red, orange and brown on your project. You might even win a gift certificate to the store!

Thanks so much for stopping by. Have a great day!
