Fairytale Fun

This is an idea I saw over at Stamp-TV and I adapted it to TAC stamps. I used my new labels 7 nestabilities which sort of looks like an open book, especially after I scored a line down the middle. I left the die in place, sponged ballet blu on the inside and then used our script stamp to appear as if it was the text. I used our cute little prince frog from Fairytale Fun, colored him with copics and glitter pens cut him out with the scallop nesties and pop dotted him in the middle of the page. I then decided to add a bookmark ribbon down the middle just to add a bit of color. The words are from a very old retired set but it worked perfect for this card.

Cowboy Boots

I have been a Chemo Angel for 2 years now and this time I have a little boy - he just turned 8 so it has been fun making "little boy" cards and I thought he would like this one with the cowboy boot. It was fun to color - colored with prisma colored pencils and OMS then cut out and pop dotted on ovals from nesties. I chose the "just like Dad" DP collection cause I really like the boy colors it offers. Hope my little guy likes the card as I had a ball coloring it. Thanks Suzanne for sending me some boy images.

Little Bird

For some reason this card appears to be on ivory or beige cs and it is really white - need some photo tips here. I liked the simplicity of this card, just a bit of coloring the leaves and bird, shaded in the notes a bit. For the embellishment I used some gingham ribbon with a flower and small brad, I think it just completed the card. I am thinking this stamp set Little Bird might have some more possibilities.

Joy of Easter - Confirmation card

Had a friend ask me to make a confirmation card for her granddaughter, my first thought was the precious little girl from Joy of Easter, only thing I didn't want her holding the chicken. I punched out a small butterfly in gold and it looks like it is ready to fly from her hands. For this card I chose white on white with dotted swiss cuttlebug for the background. I stamped the little girl on our labels 4 nestabilities (I use this die set so much), I cut the tag from stampbilities fancy tags. Edge the label and tag with our stardust clear jelly pen. Colored the girls hair and skin with copics. I paperpieced her dress after I ran it through the dotted swiss cuttlebug. A sheer white bow and card complete. I hope my friend will be happy.

Flower Collage Trio

I "cased" this idea from someone and I can't remember who so if you are out there please let me know. WOW IRL this card really pops but is rather hard to see the true effect on a flat plane. The image was stamped twice, then the flowers, stems and leaves are colored then Crystal Lacquer was applied to the flowers and leaves. I know for card makers it is hard to let anything sit overnight but this needs to be totally dry before you trim with the Kai mini scissors. Pop dot the flowers and leaves on top of the original image, add a bit of color to the other flowers in the collage and you have one of those wow cards. I used the decorative corner punch for just a little extra. Hope everyone has a Happy and Blessed Easter.

Awesome Blossoms

I was "rearranging" my craft supplies yesterday and ran across some Shrinky Dink sheets so I decided to make some embellishments for my cards. My granddaughter loved this stuff when she was here last summer. I punched out the flowers using a flower punch and colored with copic markers - love those things. For the card I used Awesome Blossoms and Brillance Ink. I cut the label for the greeting from Large Labels and used the Happy Birthday from Savvy Greetings. I tied my little flowers on a sheer ribbon and tied it around the card. I think it turned out rather cute!!!

Happy Easter

This is a "simple" "easy" "quick" card and you can use any occasion by changing the greeting. I used Pop Rockz DP from TAC - which can be used for lots of occasions. I did some quick stitching on my sewing machine - no thread just pierced the line with the sewing machine needle. I had some cute little bunny brads in my stash which completed the card.
