Bye 2021

 Happy New Year's Eve. I have a card I made the other day. I used only Lavinia stamps and stencils for it. 

Happy New Year Gnomes

 

I'm here with a New Year card for Lost Coast.

Stamps Used:

three gnomes

license plate alpha 

I started out with the three gnomes and cut them out with my scan-n-cut and colored them with copic markers. I did add some sparkle to their hats with a sparkle gel pen. 

To make the background I used some sliver stencil paste and a star stencil. I then placed a sliver glitter paper strip on the bottom so the gnomes can stand on it. 

Stamp 2022 from the license plate alpha in purple ink and add to the top. There you have a gnomes new year's card.

You still have time to join the gnome challenge here.

Gnomey Birthday

 I'm here with a birthday gnome card.

Stamp Used: Side Sign Gnome

This was a fun and fast card to make. This one of the gnomes I had cut out with my scan-n-cut. It is Side Sign Gnome. I cut off the sign. I used my Copic markers to color him.  

I made him stand on a saying sticker and he is holding some balloons for your birthday. 

Come join the gnomey fun here.

Holly & Ivy plus a tag

 Hello all I have some Gecko Galz goodies for you today. I have 2 digital postcards plus a tag for you today. 

                                                           What I used: 

                                                          Holly & Ivy

                                                          Dear Santa

                                                       Holiday tag kit

                                                        Timeless paper

                                                   Altered Christmas

                                                  Cuties at Christmas

For the tag I inked it up in some red distress inks. I then took Tim Holtz snowflake stencil and the snowflake paste and added that to the top of the tag. I set it aside to dry. I cut out the 25-ticket from          Altered Christmas and added red glitter to the 25 of that. Next, I cut out and tinted an image from    Cuties at Christmas with some distress crayons. Then I glued it on the music from the        Altered Christmas, added some white gel pen for snow and glitter around the fur trim. 

I then came back to the tag and added some stamping of snowflakes and added my items I was just working on. I felt it need something else so I stamped and white heat embossed a Tim Holtz saying and layered it on a tag from        Altered Christmas, cut off the top and edged it with brown ink. Lastly added a red fabric for the top of the tag and I stuck a snowflake charm to it.

Snowy gnome

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

Stamp used: Profile gnome

I started out with some purple cardstock, and I used a snowflake stencil with some white stencil paste from Lawn Fawn. I have never used that stuff and it was fun to use. I had it out, so I made a bunch of backgrounds. Set aside to dry. Once dry I trimmed down to fit on a top folding black card base. 

Next, I stamped the Profile gnome and a few others on some white cardstock and cut them out with my scan-n-cut. I then colored the Profile gnome with my Copic markers and added him to the front of my card. 

Lastly, I added some blue snowflake sequence to the card and of course one right on his nose.

Come join the gnome fun here.

Happy Sheepmas

 Hello I have made a Christmas card from stamps from Topflight Stamps. The minute I saw these stamps I knew I just needed them. They are so funny. 

I stamped and colored with Copic markers. Cut down to fit the card. I also added some gold stickles to the goat's sweater. Layer it on some plaid Christmas paper and then add on Kraft cardstock.

A flat slim line Halloween shaker

 I'm here with a flat slim line shaker card.

Stamps used: 

Gnome witch with no stars

Pieces of calligraphy 

Fly from the bugz set

Flying birds

I started out with some watercolor paper and distress oxide spays and some distress spays in Halloween colors. I then cut it with a die cut to make it into a slim lime card front. Next I stampedPieces of calligraphy  randomly on the background I also did that with the   Fly from the bugz set and the Flying birds but with this one I cut one of the birds from the background stamp so I could use only one. 

Then I stamped and cut out Gnome witch with no stars and colored her with copic markers. 

To make the flat slim line shaker I took a shaker pocket and covered the front and taped up 3 of the sides of it. Then I added my shaker Halloween mix and some rat confetti that I had. 

Use some red liner tape to tape  Gnome witch with no stars to the front of the shaker pocket after you sealed the last of the pocket and then you then add it to the front of the slim line card base. 

I used red liner tape for that also.

Come join the Halloween fun here.

Ghostly Pumpkin

 Hello all I'm here with day 10

Stamps Used:

Pumpkin

Pieces of calligraphy 

I started out by making a background with some different color oranges of distress. I also used the new mica spray of distress. Next I stamped the Pumpkin and I then heat embossed it. Cut it out and set it aside. 

The background of my black card base is done with a stencil and some white ink. 

I die cut some ghosts from white cardstock and inked them up with a distress ink and then I stamped Pieces of calligraphy  ink that same ink on the ghosts. 

Next I arranged the ghosts and  Pumpkin on the front of the card and glued them on. 

Last I added a Happy Halloween in green and purple paper from a die cut. Layered it 3 times.

Added the same paper as layers under the card.
