More Christmas cards from the sale

Here's the second installment of

Christmas cards from the weekend's

craft sale......

 

 

This is from a Sparkle N Sprinkle set,

with the snowflake a die cut from Spellbinders

and cut out from SU Glitter paper and layered.

The swirl and greeting are embossed.

 

Santa is another image from my sister's stash, but I

think it's Whipper Snapper...

greeting from SU.

 

An adorable set of snowmen from Penny Black....

the "ribbon" is Scor-tape with semi-transparent glitter

on it.....

 

All image colored with Copics...

 

The craft sale attendees like simple cards with

flat embellies - so had to control myself LOL...

Mommy & Daddy

A little mommy & daddy time

with a little of Charlie thrown in

for good measure.

 

 

Good times with Mommy

 

 

 

 

More fun with Mommy

and flowers made with

Spellbinders dies and

Stampin' Up punches

and designer buttons.

 

Special times with Dad & Charlie

 

Special times with Daddy

 

The Mommy & Daddy on two of the pages

were done with chipboard pieces that

have been embossed with Sparkle N Sprinkle's

Cosmic colors using the Batik Embossing

technique and with a little Magic Speckle

added to make them look like ceramic pieces.

 

Hope you've enjoyed these :)

 

 



Golf Golf Golf

Had some extra images

left over from all the golf

sticky note holders that we

made, so decided that

I'd make a birthday card too.

The image is from Art Impressions

and the greeting is from

Sparkle N Sprinkle.

 

 

 



Lovely Lady

This lovely lady from

Sparkle N Sprinkle is

perfect for Mother's Day

or even a Birthday.

She's so fun to color.

I used my Copics

and Spellbinder Dies.

 

 

A beautiful embossing folder

from Couture Creations

and gorgeous DP from G45's

Secret Garden complete the picture.

Hard to see here in the photo, but

it's accented with a clear glitter gelly roll pen.



Tulips in Bloom

I'm sure it's not coming fast

enough for all you folks

that have had such an awful winter,

but these tulips are such

fun to color.  They're from

Sparkle N Sprinkle and I've

blinged them up with a little

Sparkling Snow Glitter.

A pretty seam binding bow

and some beautiful navy and

cream DP from My Mind's Eye

Lush Paper pack completes the picture.

Colored, of course, with Copics.

 

 

 

 



Hoppy Easter

Hoppy Easter!

Here are a couple of cards

that I made for Easter that

fall under the keep it simple policy.

 

 

This is an old image from Imaginations

and it just fits the old Spellbinder Ornament

Die so well (used as a carrot)....

The white on white background was done

using an embossing folder from Provo Craft.

 

 

 

 

Another old Imaginations image.

The little row of flowers is from

a set by Sparkle N Sprinkle.

The Embossing folder used was

from Sizzix.  A little magic mesh and

some SU punches and Spellbinder dies finish it off.

 

 

This darling little image is by Penny Black.

The embossing folder is from SU

and the dies from Spellbinders.

Copics were used on them all.

 

Thanks for checking in with me.

 

 

 

 



Red Hat Lady Post-it Note Holder

 

I had so much fun making the first

post-it note holder and box set,

that I did another.  This time

I used an old Stampin' Up set

and did it like the Red Hat Ladies.

The boa is done with Sparkle N Soft

from Sparkle N Sprinkle.

 

 

Thanks for checking in :)

 

 



Phase IV - Pinwheel Album

This is becoming quite the project LOL.

I'm still basically on phase 3, but

it's slow going.   Here are a few more photos

and I still have another full section to do

pockets and tags for before I

venture into the final "bling" phase.

 

 

 

 

Here' s the top of the blue section

where I added another pocket using

one of the big flowers, but used it

in conjunction with a blue background

instead of a stand-alone.

Used a Spellbinder's die for the tags.

 

 

Here's the first flip out of the blue section.

I've added decoration to the pocket

and two tags decorated with a punched

out area. More on the funky flower in a bit.

 

 

Here's the blue section partially done

and opened up.  There's a tag

under the flower "pocket" and

a tag in the big pocket.

 

 

Below are four chipboard flowers

that I've had for eons.

They've been embossed several

times each with a couple of different

embossing powder colors

and finished off with Magic Speckle

to give them an enameled look.

All the EPs are from Sparkle N Sprinkle.

While the EP was still hot I pressed

a stamp from Sparkle N Sprinkle's Swirls Set

into the hot EP to give it texture.

The paper flowers on top were cut out

using the Spellbinder's Rose Creations die

and topped off with Stampin' Up stick on pearls.

 

 

 

More to follow in a few days...

 

 

 



Yummy for Your Tummy

 

 

Here's an oldie, but goodie...

Love the little milk cartons and

the little carry box to hold the set.

 

 

The cute little birdie is a Judith image

and the greeting is Stampin' Up.

 

The Jelly Bean phrase is from Sparkle N Sprinkle.

 

Here's a close-up of the milk carton....  once I got

started, they were quite easy.

 

The little birdie was "fluffed up" using

Sparkle N Soft flocking from Sparkle N Sprinkle

and adhered with a Sakura Glue Pen.

 

Here's a photo of the four milk cartons

and their handy-dandy carrier.

 

You can find many various tutorials

for these milk cartons if you look around

including one by Beate Johns on Splitcoaststampers.com

 

Fill them up with candy or other

treats and they're perfect

for Valentine's Day, Easter

or any other event..

 

Thanks for stopping by...

 

 



Off to the Beach

Here's a second album that my sister, Lynn and I did while she was visiting.

It's an album that we've both done before, but wanted to revisit.

It's called back to back bookbinding and I did one last year

with a European vacation theme that you can find

in a previous posting.

 

This one has a beachy theme.

I used basic kraft CS for my unifying theme and

the papers were from The Paper Studios Beach House collection.

 

 

 

Here's the cover.... it has a magnet closure.

 

I added a band of CS to the top of the pages to give it a more clean look.

 

 

This is a view when the cover is opened.

 

The pull-tab is a stamped & embossed image of

a scallop shell from my collection.

The stamp is from Stampa Tampa (1995)

It was embossed using the "batik embossing" technique

and embossing powders from SNS's Cosmic Collection.

 

My "corner" pocket was created using a stamp from

Stamper's Anonymous, embossed with Antiquities

again from SNS.  The various other palm trees were from

Under the Rubber Tree, Viva Las Vegas &

Rubber Stamps of America.

 

The stamp image on this page was from

Me & Carrie Lou and the buttons were

kind of cool - shell-looking from my collection.

The tag was wood and embossed using the Cosmic EPs

from SNS and overlayed with Magic Speckle and

stamped using the stamp image as on the panels.

Ribbon from May Arts.

The scalloped border is Spellbinders.

 

Here's a close-up of the tag and button.

 

 

The small palm tree embellie on this page was

created with another wooden piece and embossed

the same as the tag above.

 

Here's a close-up - the palm tree was stamped

while it was still molten and the stamp was inked in black.

 

Bling by Zva Creatives and the palm tree

images are by Rubber Stamps of America

and Viva Las Vegas.

 

Buttons from SU and the image

from Viva Las Vegas.

 

Shell tab is the same as the previous tab, but

with the addition of the button embellie.

The image on the pocket is another by

Me & Carrie Lou....   Oval punch and

scalloped border from SU and tab punch by

We Are Memory Keepers.

 

Here's a close-up of the shell tab.

 

Close-up of the pocket.

 

Close-up of the inserts.  Palm tree images by

Rubber Stamps of America & Stamps in Motion (1996).

I think this turned out to be my favorite page...

just love the color combo.

 

The last page....

 

 

Hope you enjoyed a day at the beach.
