Frog Birthday

I used Pond Pals from Sweet n Sassy Stamps. I just love the frog. I masked him and than stamped the lilies. Everything is colored with SU markers. I used this weeks sketch from The Sweet Stop for the layout.

Black Birthday Card & Box

This card is for a friends Birthday. I used last week's color challenge on Stamp TV for colors. I created the flower using a couple of Tim Holtz's Tags as inspiration. The base is White Grandee. The flower is framed by Onyx Mettallic and embosed with Cuttlebug Swiss Dots. The ribbon is Su White Satin that I colored using DI Black Soot. The tag is a Tim Holtz Fragment that is glued to
Plastic Touch Black. The saying is stamped on White Grandee.

Here is a close up of the flower so you can see the detail. The white is Sparkle Blanc that I first clear embossed dots using Dots Background from The Artistic Stamper. The black is the new fantastic Neenah Supersmooth Black. The best part of this paper is that you can embosse without having to use that static pillow. I used the Dots Background stamp. The flower shape was made using Flower Power from The Artistic Stamper. I used Silver embossing powder to outline the flowers. The skull is grungeboard. I first colored with DI Black Soot than added Distress Glaze.


The box was made using leftovers from the card.

Christmas Thank You

This is the first of many Christmas Thank You's that need to get done. The base is Vellum Bristol. The red squares are Russo Incandescent. The image is framed by Pink Lemonade Pop Tones. The image is called Holly Jolly Bonnie and is from Digital Delights.
The purse is a SU punch. I stamped using a retired set.
This card fits 2 challenges-
1. Delightful Sketches deadline Jan 6

God Bless,

Tree

I want to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and Belated Happy Hanukkah.
Gingersnap's Spicy Supply challenge is to use Sandpaper. I knew right away that I wanted to use Paper Temptress Sorbet Blue Ice/Cappuccino. I cuttlebuged the paper with Swiss Dots folder. I then sanded the dots to show the color through. The tree image is created by my friend Stef. You can get the image at the Stamping Boutique. The image is printed on watercolor paper/ The saying was printed on Sparkle Blanc.

These are the last 2 calender pages. The top page is my son at a summer training where he and his buddies got to put on Survival suits. The base is Column Red. The bottom page is my daughter and husband at a Christmas Ball. The base is Column White. All papers can be found at Paper Temptress. The titles were cut using Fairy Alphabet Cuttlebug die.

Happy Bird Day

There She Goes challenge was to use layers on the card. The more layers the better. I am not sure how to count the layers but I have at least 6. This set is called Birdie Wishes.

Christmas Pippin

This is another gable box. I used Christmas Pippin from Digital Delights. He is colored with colored pencils and Stickles. I added Liquid applique to his hat. The circle is from Circle Circus by Stampin Up. The center saying is from Sassy Studio Designs that I printed on Sparkle Vermillion.

Story Time

This is a quick page that I did for my Nephew's scrapbook. I am using up old extra photos. This is from 2007. The base is Bluestone Linen. The books are a digital stamp from The Stamping Boutique. This fits Scrap & Stamp's challenge theme is Family. I am off to try and get a few more pages done for his book.

Tag day 9

The panel on the box was inspired by Tim Holtz's tag on day 9. I used HSH Holiday Additons and Stick Together stamps for the different images. The base is Basis Brown. I used a template from Nina on Stamp TV. You can get the template here. The Light Cream Column is rubbed with Shabby Shutters DI. I framed the Silver Lustre panel with Basis Green. I hope to get more posts scheduled. I seem to be crafting but most things need to get in the mail like a few days ago. Luckly my family is used to me being late. I hope you are able to squeeze some craft time in this busy time of the year.

God Bless,
Anita

Christmas Tags

I have been enjoying seeing Tim Holz's 12 days of tags. This first one is day 1. I used grungeboard to create my tag. I first painted it with Adirondack White paint. I then stamped the snowflakes with DI faded jean and DI weather wood. I then covered the tag with Distress paint rock candy. The snowman was stamped on Basis Blue and painted with SU Frost White Shimmer paint.

This is Day 2 tag. I used a frame from a Martha Stewart stamp set. The saying is Studio G. I embossed both with SU gold embossing powder. The flower is a stamp from Artistic Stamper. I added a Pez A Bling to the center. It is hard to see but I did splatter Sunflower Perfect Pearls mixed with water.This last tag was created for day 3. I just love the plaid pattern. I used Adriondack Alcohol Inks Clover, Copper, & Watermelon. The hearts were cut using a big shot die and then I put Adriondack Copper Mixative on them.
