Christmas tag

Merry Christmas to you all. I have a tag I made to share with you all. 

I used Gecko Galz collage and Tim Holtz Holiday pieces. I also used stamps from Lost Coast Designs.  

Holiday wishes

 I made a quick holiday card for you today. I used a embossing folder for the background. I haven't used one in so long. It was good to get them out again and play. I also used some old Christmas stamps that I had for a few years. Mix in a new stamp and a die cut and you have a card.

Hello I'm here with a snowflake gnome card for you.

After that was dry I used sliver embossing and enbossed the Snowflake set . I layered it on to a blue shinny paper and added some snowflake diecuts. 

I then stamped and colored the Pompom Gnome with copic markers. Cut out and added to front. Layer it on the front of a white card.

corner swril 

I made these 4 ATCs after watching a video. She was making tags and she was wiping the the paint off on the tags and then stamping over them. Well I didn't have my paints out so grabbed what I had next to me and they were distress sprays. I unscrewed the cap and put a few drops on my mat and brushed them over the 4 ATCs. I used 4 different blues, added white dots and then I stamped corner swril  off the side.

 Hello all Cathy here with a slimline card for you.

Stamps used.

Pointy hat gnome

small snowflake set

So I was inspired by my Christmas pattern paper I have. (pinks,teals,whites, ) 

I stamped Pointy hat gnome on white cardstock and then I stamped small snowflake set in pinks all around him. 

I then colored him in teal to match the teal snowflake pattern paper. 
Next I layered the papers and then I decided to make it into a slimline card. So I then took one of the snowflake from the  small snowflake set that I didn't use and stamped that in teal ink all over the card base.

Day 18 of 31 days of Halloween

 Day 18 of the 31 days of Halloween challenge.

Stamp used:

More cats

This card was really simple to make a but together. I think the longest or "hardest" part was picking out the Halloween bits to go on the card and where they go.

I started out with a black card base and layered a orange plaid pattern paper on it. Next I made a tag from Kraft cardstock and stamped More cats the sitting pretty cat onto it. 

Lastly I dumped out my Halloween bits and started finding the right pieces to make my card. Once I had it the way I wanted I started gluing it all down. 

 

Right now we have 2 challenges going on. Furry friends here.

The 31 days of Halloween here.

Day 14 of the 31 days of Halloween challenge

  Day 14 of the 31 days of Halloween challenge from Lost Coast Blog. 

ATC faces set

Flying skull 

This card was fun to do. I inked  the phrenology head  from the ATC faces set and wiped off the numbers in the head. You still can see some of them but very faintly. I then colored it with Copic markers in a skin tone, but as I was cutting him out I had a little pointy piece of paper and it gave my the idea for a vampire head so I then colored over the skin tone with a light gray. 

I then added the pointy pieces of paper to make the fangs. 

I hade the Flying skull  stamped out also so I colored that with some purple and grays and I made it into a head piece for my vampire. You can't see in the photo but I added shimmer to the wings of the Flying skull . I also added to little stones to the wings of it.

Next I just layered it with some scrap paper and some Halloween paper for the card base. Add in some Halloween goodies and you have your Vampire head card.

Come join all the Halloween fun here. 

Also don't forget the sale is still going on. 

Day 11 of the 31 days of Halloween

 Here with a bookmark for all your spooky reads this season.

Stamps used:

small skeleton 

Flying birds

I started off with a end cut from my white cardstock. I thought it would be a good start for a spooky bookmark. 

Grab some Halloween colors of distress ink to make a background. Smoosh some colors on a craft sheet and tap the paper into it. Dry in between colors.

Stamp the small skeleton  on the bottom and then stamp Flying birds on the top. Layer on a black cardstock. 

Lastly add a word strip to the top. 

Now you just have to pick out a book to use it in.

Day 8 of 31 days of Halloween

 Hello all Day 8 of the 31 Days of Halloween!

Stamps Used:

Pumpkin 

MRaven 3

I made this card by starting with white cardstock and 3 different colors of orange Distress inks. I smooched them on my craft sheet and and layered the colors on my stamped Pumpkin . I dried in between  the different layers of orange inks. Once I was happy on my colors I cut it out. 

Then stamp the MRaven 3 on a scrap card and color with a dark gray Copic. Cut that out.

Get some Halloween pattern paper to make the card front. Add the pumpkin to the front and then add the raven to the top of the pumpkin. Last add some washi and some Halloween word strips and you have your self a nice Halloween card.

Hello Pumpkin

Be.... ATCoins

I'm here with some ATCoins

Stamps used:

ATC Set 6, 

Pieces of Calligraphy

Fortune of men set

I started out with the leftovers from my card I made for the start of the new challenge. I used pieces of calligraphy  and ATC set 6 and some blue ink. I stamped randomly over white cardstock. When I was cleaning my stamps off with a baby wipe I had a lot of ink on it and I smeared it all over it to give the paper a blue wash. I was going for a blueprint feel for it.

I made a card with the paper. I hade some left on my table so I cut out 3 ATCoins with the left over paper. 

Next I took some stamps from  Fortune of men set and stamped them on the ATCoins. I edged the ATCoins with black ink to match my stamped men from Fortune of men set.

Lastly I took some words stickers  from Tim Holtz and added them to the ATCoins. 

I hope you will join the challenge here.
