Baby Cards

Here is a group of baby cards that I recently made. I used my copic markers to color enamel dots to match the cards. Arent those onesies cute?

Fairy notebooks

I actually found this in my drafts folder along with another post that I never posted! Oops!

These were mini notebooks I made for a craft show. They were a huge hit and sold out pretty quickly! I need to make some more! The background was done with ink blending and stamps then I added some sparkle with some FSJ silks. The fairy is a die which I actually altered to fit onto the notebook. I loved how these turned out!

Rainbow cards

Here is another Pinterest inspired card. This was my first take but I thought it was too much white.

So I went back and added a little heart which I punched and then added UTTE to make it shiny and then added it to the card using pop dots. I had a lot of fun with these cards! And I loved that I could use up a bunch of my scraps! Here are the different color combinations I ended up with.

Christmas Cards a la Lawn Fawn

I made a couple other variations on my last Christmas card. It's basically the same card with different main images. 

Below is a cute bunny on a sled:

And here a group of cute fairies:

Then there is a couple of cute reindeer going on a sled ride!

I added some sparkle to this little deer's santa hat.

I used my copics, dies, and BigShot on all of the cards shown. 

I have added these to my stash of Christmas cards for upcoming craft shows! 

Fairy Birthday

Some of my favorite people were born in June! So I needed to make some birthday cards for them! I was fortunate to cross paths with Terri through the former Cricut Message Board. We talked often and have become good friends! Now thanks to the Marco Polo app we see and talk to each other daily! Terri is also a crafter so I wanted to do something special for her card. I recently bought different fairy dies, and I knew I wanted to use one for her card. So I hopped over to YouTube to find a video for the Galaxy tutorial. I found one using Stampin Up colors, but I didn't have the colors she said to use (gasp) so I compromised a little bit. Honestly though, I don't recall the colors I used. While the video gave the jist of what to do she didn't really record where you could see the card as she made it, so I kind if guessed how much color to use and how much white to keep showing. Once I was satisfied with the ink I spritzed the card with water and blotted off the water. Then I used Tsukineko's All Purpose Ink on a painbrush and added some speckles to represent stars. Then I made a mask to make the hills and used black ink to sponge in the hills. I added some trees from SU's "Sheltering Tree" using some second generation stamping. I pulled out an old, previously uninked grass stamp to add some grass on the hills. For the moon, I punched out a circle then I distressed it a little bit on the center as well as one edge. The fairy is a die which I bought from a group on Facebook (they come unpackaged, no branding).  Unfortunately I accidently posted the card to a group that she is a member of, so she saw it there before she got it in the mail. 😔 She said she loves it though!

One image, 6 ways

I wanted to challenge myself to use an image, stamp it out, color it and use them to make different cards. I started out with six of this image a flower from Funstampers Journey's "Sweet You". I colored the flowers with copic markers R05, R24, R46. The leaves were colored with YG17, YG13, YG21. I then also stamped out and colored the larger flower and added it to most of the cards using pop dots. 

 

 This is the first card I made. Once I made this one I kind of got stuck in a red/black/white color scheme, but since the challenge was to come up with different layouts I just went with it. I had this piece of red that I had stamped a speckled background on it, but then I didn't use it, and it went back into my stash, so I used that for this card. I cut it down to make the different layers in this card. I cut the image with an oval die and layered that in a scalloped oval. I used a card sketch from cardztv.blogspot to make this one:

 I stamped the red layer with Stampin Up's "en Francois" then layered it on black and then on a white card. I embossed the triangles in the corners with the "Swiss Dots" embossing folder. I also found this card sketch on Cardztv.blogspot:

 I went with a different color scheme with this one. I heat embossed the green banner with Funstampers Journey's "Script". The sentiment came from an old Stampin' Up Paper Pumpkin. This sketch was found on Freshlymadesketches #197

 I started out with a red card then added a black layer.  I embossed the white layer with a "Musical Flourishes" embossing folder and then layered the images. I used my Bow Easy to make the little double bow. I also added some dimension to the little berries using Nuvo Crystal Drops.

 By the time I got to this card it was after 1 AM and I had to be up by 8 AM, so I went with a simple design. Not alot of frills, just simple and to the point. Rhe image was cut wuth a stitched rectangle die, layered in a red rectangle.

The 6th image got messed up when I tried to cut it with a die. So I threw that one away.  Tomorrow I will stamp and color another image so I can complete the challenge!
