Snowman Tags



Hello,

I am back with a couple of Christmas tags (or they could be ornaments) I made for the Challenge over at Art Impressions.  Okay I have to confess I have a thing for snowmen and have a large collection of them that come out for the holidays.  I think I may have a snowman tree this year and these cuties would be a great addition.  After coloring them I cut out the image and three additional layers, two white and one blue.  I glued them together with some silver cord sandwiched in.  So easy and fun.  They are about as thick as a quarter and very sturdy.  The stamp set is one form a few years ago which was a collaboration with Hampton Arts.

Snowflake Cascade



Hello,

I am back with a couple of cards I made using the Simon Says Gina K Designs collaborated set from Simon Says Stamptember 2020, Snowflake Cascade.  I love this set and I am so happy to have been able to order it before it sold out.  I got to work on these two cards right away.  I didn't however get around to posting them until now.  The first card I white embossed the ornament image and the brushed blue inks to fade into to the image.  It doesn't show as well in the photo.  I used a sparkle gel pen to color in the inner part of the snowflake, added a few rhinestones and dots with a white gel pen.  On the second card I used the snowflake cascade embossed in silver.  I also brushed in some ink to fade toward the the center of the card. Both cards are matted with a thin black layer.  I used Master Layout Set 2 to cut out the layers.

Thank you Fall


I made this card for the Gina K Designs Monthly Mix Challenge.  To make a fall card.  I used Skeleton Leaves and Autumn Wreath Builder stamp sets.  The ink colors are Jelly Bean Green, Charcoal Brown and Sweet Mango.  I also used both of the master layouts die sets.  I have to say I love these dies and they are a game changer.

Reeling in the Big One

Hello, it has been a long time.  First off I want to say I am hoping to dust off this old blog and get back into posting regularly.  I recently retired after many years of long work days and I am trying to get my mojo back. 

Now on to my card.  I made this for my sons birthday.  The stamps are from Art Impressions Reel Great Guys.  I colored the image with prisma pencils and blended with OMS.  The fish is fussy cut and popped up to give dimension.  I am entering this card in to Art Impressions current challenge, Quick and Simple. 

Thank you for stopping by,
