Two cards today for All That Scraps blog. I’ve been coloring away and creating. Pulling out papers, punches, trying this, trying that…all part of my card creating process. I’m glad there isn’t a secret agent video taping me!!!
Here’s my first card for today…Swiss Pixies Heidi with two of the stamps from the Christmas Otis and Milo set. This was so much fun to color… I have to show you the close up first!
The top piece is the new EK Success string of light slimline border punch. I punched it in the green Bazzil card-stock. Then punched it in white card-stock…collected the white light bulbs and colored them with copic markers and stuck them in the punched holes in the green card-stock….I know, crazeeeee! The border on the edge of the green piece and the red piece is another EK Success border punch, wave with dot…not sure what the “real” name is. Oh and there is that Martha Stewart Pine branch punch again!
It’s hard to see but there is an embossed line the punch makes for the cord the light bulbs are attached to.
Here’s a picture of the copic markers I used for this card. The four “Y” and “YR” on the right end are what I used for her hair. Y15 managed to escape the pile up….I used it for the yellow light bulb. E01 should have been in here too!!! I used E000, E00, E01 and R30 on her face. I am using a Sakura white gelly roll pen right now for the white dots. I used the clear spica glitter pen on the ornaments but you can’t see it in the photos…to bad, it’s just the nicest twinkle!
I was going to save card number two for Tuesday but that thought didn’t last! silly me!
Meet Swiss Pixes Santa Birgitta!
Hope you can see the Art Glittering System Diamond Dust glitter on her wings, cuffs and hat band…love this stuff and I hate glitter…go figure!
here’s the flower fun…
EK Success medium papershaper flower punch, The Punch Bunch leaf branch and then I used an 1/8th inch hole punch to punch the tips of each leaf…well, I was trying to make it look like mistletoe for a minute there!!! lol The Martha Stewart Pine Branch punch…the new EK Success holly punch, the punch case is read, comes in a package of two, the other is a snowflake. The brads on this card are by Bo Bunny.
Here’s a picture of the copic sketch markers I used on this card…

I used the new Martha Stewart snowman scene border punch, (too bad more of it doesn’t show, it’s super cute), a Martha snowflake punch, stickles glitter glue and Bazzill card-stock. I altered the Inky Dinky Drops into glittery snowballs with Tombow mono multi glue and the Art Glittering System glitter called Diamond Dust. The word background stamp is from ANW Crestwood. So BRRRRRRR!!!! Hope you don’t get hit by one of her snowballs! They look hard! lol
dressed for the holiday with a flower in her hair and probably mistletoe behind her back!!!! I LOVE how these embossing folders worked on this Bazzil cardstock! Two are from Stampin Up and the words from Sizzix but I think they are deeper than some or something! Anya is colored with copic sketch markers.
I used the sketch from The Farm Fresh Friday post on The Greeting Farm’s blog by Mercy.
She is so charming! I love coloring these images! Here’s a close up….
Today’s Challenge is to use Inky Impressions Stamps/Image to make a card or project using this fun color combo.
I used Birthday cake Lili and some Hero Arts clear stamps and alphabet to make the Happy Birthday Jesus words…Bazzill cardstock, Cuttlebug paisley die, nestabilities circle dies and the center die is from Nellie Snellen. Lili is colored with copic sketch markers.
Check out the other Inkette’s cards on the challenge blog and stamp a long with us!
I just couldn’t resist when I thought of this idea! Our oldest daughter was born on Christmas Day and she is a red-head! A wonderful wife and mom now! The Happy Birthday Jesus song is stuck in my head! I need to get out some Christmas CD’s! lol
Inky Impressions BLOG HOP this Friday the 6th… The INKY DINKY DROP HOP, don’t miss it!!!!! NEW Winter stamps AND new products!!! Always love more, more, more!!!!
Have I been having a blast cutting up rubber the last few weeks! The November release for CC Designs is over the top cute and fun to create with. I love Winter/Christmas images! Amy R from All That Scraps emailed and asked me to be their guest designer for November and I wanted to, but was a little apprehensive of whether or not I could do it! But how could I resist!!! I couldn’t! So here I am today with two cards created with some of the November release. Each Monday for the month of November I will be back with projects from the November new stamps!
Meet “Nora” one of the new Holiday Swiss Pixies…dressed for the cold and snow that’s sure to come!
For this card I used this wonderfully, Winterish pattern paper from American Crafts. The snowflakes are embossed already! I cut a strip from the Gingerbread House sheet and punched the bottom with an EK Success Slim border punch. The snowflakes and holly are from an EK Success Winter punch set that is just new. The pine branch is a Martha Stewart punch. I used mini brads for the berries with a little slash of white pen. I do like to dry emboss lines in my leaves and I use a mouse pad and a stylus to do that. The sentiment stamps I used here is new from All That Scraps also, watch for the set called Christmas card Greetings! I used the Bazzill itty bitty brads for her pigtail holders…they’re about 1/16th of an inch and I LOVE them!
Meet the critters from “Christmas Time” set…they are having a time getting ready for Christmas!
The kitty decorating the tree, the bunny hanging an ornament and the doggy getting all wound up in the lights! I used everything in the set except the words “Merry Christmas” to make this Diorama card. Not sure you can really see how fun it is by my photos! I did mine different than the tutorial…figures…hehe…I thought they left too much at the sides, so I cut it down to 1 1/4 inches. I also made it a 5×7 size.
I’m guessing they are sure to make you smile! I’ve sure enjoyed coloring them and more to come!
I’ve colored Angelica with my copic markers for the 15th Copic Creations Challenge. I used E08, 15, 17, 18, 19, 21 for her red hair.
This is an adorable new stamp from Inky Impressions rubber stamps. Be watching for the release with a blog hop by the Inkettes on November 6th! Hurrah…love Winter stamps! Nicole, Inky Impressions owner graciously let me use this new image for this challenge. I have some other red-heads on my blog here, here, here and here.
If you click on the picture of the card, it takes you to my flickr account page and you can select a larger size to see the plastic straw that is his mouth!!! How fun is that! It’s even a bendy straw! lol Right above the photo on the flickr page, in the middle it says “all sizes”, click there and select large and you can see the straw better! This is really a 5×7 (A-7) size card but of course you can’t load it that large to your blog.

Daisy D’s pattern paper (missing their stuff) and Redlead stamps…great combo for this Christmas card. And the sentiment is from Hero Arts. Thought it’d be fun to post some of my older Christmas cards while I’m working on some other cards that I can’t post yet!
halloween would be fun again!!! That’s what Fiskars said in this old ad! I LOVE it! I made this ATC a few years ago, but thought it’d be fun to share it here…Hope it makes you smile!
I reduced the ad, added stitching, the button, ribbon and had to use a pinking decorative scissors to really make it “authentic”!
There were seven of us yesterday at the in person swap in Des Moines…a fun time was had by all! hehe I took a few atc’s to swap and these are the ones I got in return…great stuff! Thanks gals!!!
Then shopping after…can you even believe how many clear stamp sets there are anymore! and punches! and paper!!! Wonderful! I love the clear stamps for the little extra stamp “touches” here and there. Wood mounted stamps, I hope they never go away…something about “first” love! lol
I just had to jump right in for the Just Magnolia challenge blog this week…A GREAT PRIZE…oh, I hope I win! Thinking maybe it helps your chances if you just come right out and say that…I better go back to yesterday’s post! haha
Trying my hand at a sketch again…ugh! Am I the only one?????? I get all done thinking I’ve done a grand job and immediately I want to tear it apart! WHAT?!!! I wish I’d put a mat behind the music piece and I’m sure there were a couple other things too…but I’m trying to exercise self-control and leave it alone!
Here’s a close up of this charming extra pink cheeked Tilda!!! lol
The Making Memories paper was still out from yesterday…May Arts ribbon…Prima flowers…Making Memories tree button (old)….Amuse Art stamps sentiment…background stamp on oval behind Tilda is from Stampington Christmas Elements clear set…the music paper is from the Cosmo Cricket new holiday 6×6 pad and the gold brads are from Making Memories.
Oops, better not forget the good ‘ole Bazzill cardstock…love that stuff!!! Have a great weekend!
I’m trying not to talk about the weather!!! lol
