a little Patriotism

playing with making a Magical (opening) Card. I found the you tube HERE.I actually have this on my Gypsy and still need a few adjustments to give the outside opening be a little larger to make a border so the red color show a bit when its closed. The digi is a Designed to Delight freebie :) I colored with copic colors r29 & b23.

A kit- Any Occasion

I signed up for a kit a month club through Annie’s Attic and the 1st one arrived Saturday. The 1st projects stamp however is not cut deep enough in an area right in the middle of the stamp. I wrote, hopefully I’ll get a replacement. It is a cute bird on a branch. I altered the stamp and oval elements a bit and came up with this one. I decided not to stamp the sentiment “Miss You” (part of the kit) it wanted because I thought it can be an ANY OCCASION card.

stamped with the little ink pad cocoa brown color and colored with a pencil in kit

one more Graduation card

for my neighbor’s youngest daughter. She completed her associates and is on to a 4yr college for her bachelors.

I use the sketch shown on Stamp Happy blog. I used my Elegant Edges for the scallop border,The digi is from Bugaboo. The ribbon came from Really Reasonable Ribbon. it’s a 5x7 finished card.

I’m Just saying Hello!!

I follow Get It Scrapped and Michelle had this fantastic tutorial and CUTE little Monster :) I had lots of fun and did one up into a little book mark for Ashton. He’s covered with Diamond Glaze,just incase of leaking into her book..it made her feel better even though I told her the markers are alcohol based and wouldn’t. The other’s will go into a card or two or three or however many more I color :)

copic colors used:

RV21,23,25 – Y11,13,18 –E00,02,11 pink monster

Y23,26,28 – BG93,96,99 – YR 07,09 – E09  original tutorial monster

made some progress

this week end. I managed to color a few digital pictures and get 2 of them into cards. The Panda card (saw on Cooking with Cricut,Jen's ) background is a stamp called Doily at Unity Stamps. The Panda is cut at 3" from Create A Critter and the papers are from my stash. I actually did 2 of these,one with a more masculine hat and one with a feminine color for my brother and sister who are twins and birthdays are coming up.
The doggy card digital stamp is from ?? Bugaboo?? really not sure and I have put a better saving system in place when downloading my stamps now :) The image is colored with Copics and papers/cardstock are my stash
