Friday, June 30, 2017 StampTV JUNE Release Challenge 2017

  For JUNERELEASE2017    
I ordered early and then decided to make the Challenge card. using three of the same images.  The trees were stamped and fussy cut 3 times, and then I fussy cut Ian Moose, popped them up with dimensional and placed on a CB Swiss Dots background on my card.

Fri. June 30, 2017 So Very Thankful

I used the basket of flower stamp from Sentimental Summer kit from Gina K. Designs, colored with pencils and Odorless Mineral Spirits and a Blending Stump. A tag, and some ribbon embellishments, finished off this card.

So glad you peeked in today.

Thurs., 6.29.2017 Paper Pieced with Flowers

  Paper piecing is so much fun. I used Melanie's stamps from the Fill It With Flowers stamp set, and more shade of lavender and purple, for the congrats card!


Thanks for visiting!

Tues. June 28, 2017 The envelope to match.....

This is the envelope that matches my previous card, keeping with the wine idea. 

Thank you for visiting my blog today!

French Flair 6.27.2017

  This is an older stamp set from Theresa Momber at Gina K. Designs.  I colored the images with Copics and then fussy cut before I mounted them on CS and this A2 card. I used the Fleur de Lis as a background, stamping with Kraft ink, in a random pattern.

Thank you for visiting.

6.26.2017 A Flower Gift

I created this card today using the Gina K. Design's Art from the Heart stamp set, some ribbon, copics and dp. I am very glad that I fussy cut that flower, so it would look much more dimensional.

I appreciate any comment you leave.  Have a wonderful day!

6.25.2017 More Fine Feathers

I made this one yesterday and I was so surprised that it closely resembles the one I made when this set was first released. I didn't plan on doing that though.
 A peaceful bunch of feathers makes for a lovely card.  Agree?

Here is my previous card!

My Friend-------in Turquoise colors June 23. 2017

 but decided not to post it until tomorrow. The colors just got me in a creative mood I guess. The circle image was one I have had on my desk for years, so I decided to see what I could come up with!
I added a sentiment from Gina K., and found a petite oval die that would hold the "my friend" words. A little bow was made out of some ribbon in my stash, and then I added some matching gems to tie it all together.

So glad you stopped by today.

Odorless Mineral Spirits colored these Daisies 6.23.2017

I colored this image with Odorless Mineral Spirits and a blending stump after I stamped the daisies with Memento ink.  Theresa Momber did such a beautiful job with this Stamp Set from Gina K. Designs- all these sets are fantastic!  Gina knows where to get these artists, right?
I added glitter to the flower centers to match the gold twine bow.

Thank you for visiting!

Pencils and Gamsol June .22.2017

After watching Gina K's tutorial video today on StampTV I decided to try and color  with pencils and Odor-Free Mineral Spirits- since it is what I always used instead of Gamsol brand.  It has been years since the last time, but it worked beautifully.  I only had one blending stump that I could find, so it will be on my shopping list to purchase some different sizes soon, to replenish my craft hobby.  This was definitely fun to color the image after I stamped it with Memento ink.  So glad to have the matching die to make it so easy to cut out the owl. The image was put on a piece of brown CS, that I
 Cuttle Bugged.  Put the sentiment on and was all done here.
Try this technique- you will have a blast doing it.  A fun alternative to using Copic markers.

Very happy to share this with you today!

6.20.2017 A Challenge to Share Today

This is for STV17MON25 over at StampTV, to use flowers.

I used one of Melanie's stamp sets for her challenge, with some pink and black cs and some pearls, for interest. Thank you for visiting!

A Daisy- Just Because 6.18.2017

I was playing around today and decided on making this card.  I used EP, Copics, sponging and a few other techniques, and stamps from Melanie's Fill It With Flowers set from Gina K. Designs.

Thurs., June 15, 2017 MOD Squad Challenge Make it Square

I love making square cards- the look of them is so intriguing, compared to the usual cards I normally make.  The one is for the Make It Square Challenge at MOD Squad.

I colored the flower ( from the Theresa Momber set, called Daisy Delight) from Gina K. Designs- with Copic markers spritzed with Rubbing Alcohol.  I added glitter to the flower center, under the Happy Birthday sentiment tag and used a 4.25 " square cardstock base. The silver base adds a little background to the flower.

Thank you for visiting today.

6.13.2017 I am back

I had a little fun playing with the new Gina K. StampTV kit called Sentimental Summer, today.  I hope to be posting a little more often now, especially since it is way too hot to head outside.  A/C and my craft room are calling me- haha.

See you soon and I want to thank you for visiting!

MOJOMonday 500 and another for Split Coast SC648---- Tuesday, June 8, 2017

I followed the #500 sketch using the Sentimental Summer stamps from Gina K. Design's kit.
I used the final sketch from MOJO Monday #500 .  So sad that the site is ending and this is her final sketch.

  

 

I appreciate you taking a look at my card today! I really enjoyed following all the sketches for years and years and am so sad that it is closing.  

Well, here is another one, using product from the new Sentimental Summer Kit, from Gina K. Designs, backed with Gingham paper and fussy cut flowers, and a sentiment from the All About You set.  I used the sketch SC648, from

 Split Coast Stampers, for this one.

 

6.7.2017 Another Sentimental Summer Card

 I colored with Copics after I stamped the image from Gina K.'s Sentimental Summer kit with Memento ink.  I added a scalloped sentiment to make this a card that fits many occasions.
The largest flower was popped up with dimensional tape for texture, after I cut it out with the matching die from this kit. I backed the main panel with some green CS to add a little color.



Thank you for stopping by today. 

June 6, 2017 First Creation from the new Sentimental Summer Kit

Since my granddaughter lives in Arizona I made this one first and mailed it to her today.  It was  created,  using products from Gina K's Sentimental Summer kit that came in yesterday's mail.
There are so many stamps in this kit and should keep me very busy.

 
I colored the image with Copics and also added some additional leaves and a silk flower, to this card.

Thank you for stopping by to take a peek.
