The new challenge at DRS designs is Rubber Band Man. How fun is that, you use rubber bands to make your background.



I started by wrapping the rubber bands around a acrylic stamp block. I used coco ink on kraft card stock. I used this as a border on my card.

For the main image on my card I used Cardinal on Branch. I stamped the image on to white card then again onto another piece of whit card that i cut with a spellbinder die this was layered on to kraft card the was cut with the same die. After coloring with copic markers The cut cardinal was attached with pop dot.

I hope you with join in this fun challenge.

Winter Christmas Village

Hi all I hope your having a better week than me. Monday night after I came home from work at 11:30 pm someone came  into our yard and went through our cars. They took my Kindle from my card I like to read at lunch when I'm at at work and they took my sons CD case with all his Cd's. We have lived here for over thirty years and nothing like this has every happen. I know this is small compared to what happens in the world today, but for me, I find it very upsetting. So I have spent my only day off looking for a dog, I know I want a Collie I had one about twenty years ago and after I had to have her put to sleep I have never wanted a dog. The kids have had dogs through the years. My youngest sons dog pasted away last year. So I think we need a dog. John wants us to get a puppy so it can grow up with the chickens, cat and the grand kids. And Collie puppy's are hard to find. I will keep you informed if this goes forward.

Now for what you came here for.

Winter Village, this card gave me fits. The first time I stamped it, I cut the paper so large that I could not add any background. So I cutout all the houses, then I stamped the trees and hills.


  
I started by stamping a horizon with Pine Tree Snowdrifts  this stamp works so well with the Christmas Village stamps. Then I stamped the Christmas Village Church, Christmas Village House and the Christmas Village Post office. These were colored with Copic markers then glittered. The Trees are from the Christmas Village 4 in one. The frame was cut with a Spellbinder die. Then I cut out the center with a rule and exacto knife. I don't know who made the snowflake die.

I hope you will join in the Inchie Challenge this week. You can find the link on the DRS designs blog HERE.

Hi everyone, DRS designs has a fun new challenge this week. Are you ready? It's Inches, You know little 1 inch  stamped picture or part of a larger stamped image.





For my card I used the Christmas Multi Greeting  just stamping the tiny Merry Christmas. I used a circle punch to cut out the image. The inside was colored with copic markers. Then I punched a square and used the same copic to color the edge of the square. For the other inches I used Tree from the Christmas Village Four in One, Christmas Village House, In the larger square I used the Christmas Village Church. I used some perfect pearls to add a snowy feel to some of the images. Then I used extra sticky tape for the border around the edges and added flower soft.

Link up you card at the DRS designs blog.

Silhouette Happy Birthday


Hi all,  I hope everyone has enjoyed there holiday weekend, I sure have.I have a lot of male birthdays coming up in the next few weeks, so this the first one.




I started by using the painters tape technique with Memento Lilac Poise,Tangelo,and Cantaloupe ink. Then stamped the Silhouette Background Tree with Olive Grove. This was cut with a Rectangle Die and layered on to green card stock. The brown layer was stamped with the Lines O"Plenty Background stamp.The green border was cut with a die and I sponged the edges with Rich Cocoa ink. I added two brads and then used the twine and tied a knot.I used foam tape to pop this up. The Tiny Happy Birthday was stamped with Rich Cocoa Ink layered on green card and pop up. A green layer was added on a cream card.

I have had some questions on how to do the painters Tape Technique so I'm going to try and explain. You start with Painters Tape ( masking tape) cut a piece a little longer than the background you want to make, then on your clear block folded back the ends so it would stick to the block. Rub a stamp pad across the tape and the color will stay on the tape.Wipe off any excess ink that may have gotten on the block. And stamp on your card. You will need a new strip of tape for each color that you use. You can use Tombow Markers or any water based marker. I hope this helps.


Have a Wonderful Day,
