Piggy's and Palm Tree's

Good morning all.

This week I needed two cards, the first one is a get well card for a very sweet lady the broke her foot and needed surgery.

I thought the little piggy's were the perfect chose. I stamped the Pig in Puddle  then masked him ans stamped the new Brick Wall. They were colored with Copic markers. I stamped the Leonard the Pig Billboard and I used the Get Well Prayer to stamp the sign. Then fussy cut.

My second card was for my grandson Saturday was his 17th Birthday.

I started by sponging the circle die cut with it still in the die. then I stamped the Silhouette Palm Tree Line, them I sponged the card front with some of the same ink. The Small 1 Line Happy Birthday was stamped on a strip of white paper that was layered onto orange card stock.

Have a wonderful day,

Off to get the Christmas Tree

Good morning everyone.

I hope your Christmas perpetration are going well. When my kids were little we always went to a Christmas tree farm to get our tree. It was great fun they had hay rides, hot apple cider and my son always cut down our tree. This made great memories that the kids carry on with there families.

With my card I tried to recreate those special memories.  

The card base was made using a center step die. 
I started by stamping the Christmas Village Tree Store   I used a mask then stamped the Christmas Village Sloped Roof Cottage I used part of the Christmas Village Pond with Bridge. Behind the cottage the Pine Tree Snowdrifts were stamped. Everything was colored with Copic markers and Flower Soft was added for the snow.

The smaller of the Double Tall Pines was used on the sides. And the Merry Christmas is from the Christmas Multi Greeting.

I hope you are making lots of special memories with your family's. 

Have a wonderful day

Outdoor Triple Fold

Today I want to share a new card fold that I found and just had to give it a try. I'm not sure what it's called but I will call it a Triple Fold card. This is my first try and its not perfect, but to understand a new fold I need to try it out and see how well it works.

The finished size is 4 x 4 

You start with a 12 x 12 paper and score at 2" , 4" , 8" , 10" inches. Turn the paper a quarter turn and score at 4" , and 8" inches. You will remove the 4 outside squares. And I remover the 2 outside flaps from the middle section. The top flap was cut with a spellbinder die.

My stamp is PSX that I colored with Copic markers.

When you lift the top flap you see the Happy Birthday that was over stamped with the Silhouette Background Tree.

On the two center flaps I stamped the Double Tall Pines on two white panels. 

This is the card fully open.

The greeting in the center is Leave a Path Verse. I stamped the Hiker Boot Prints over the top of the verse.

 I know it's not you typical birthday greeting but I made this for my grandson who will be turning 15 in a few weeks he has been very thoughtful about his future and what he want to do with his life. Just call me one proud grand mother.

Close up of the Verse.

I'm planing on doing another card and I will try to take some step by step photos.

Have a wonderful day,

I stamped the Leafy Tree E1302 with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink. I used Copic markers and dotted the color on the image starting with the lightest color and going to the darkest. I added some Flower Soft at the bottom. I used the Large Classic large Oval to cut out the image.The yellow and brown layers were cut with the A2 Card Creator. I had so much fun making the card front I used the IO Cover a Card Scratches CC044 I started with my lightest color and stamped the cream card stock then turned the stamp a quarter turn and added the next color. I used some burlap for the ribbon and I pulled a string from the burlap and made a bow and a button.

Here are the colors that I used.

Have wonderful day,

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,

Janett

Camo Coupon

Hi all, I have something different for you today. It's a card topper, I need it for my grandson's stocking. He has been wanting his Puppa  to take him target shooting for sometime, this is just a little something to let him know that Puppa has not forgotten.

On the front I stamped the Squirrel with Acorn and colored it with Copics. Then I stamped the Silhouette Background Tree behind it, using the masking technique.

On the other side I stamped part of the Star Coupon. Then I wanted a camo look around the outside edge so I used part of Silhouette Background Tree stamp and Brilliance ink in Coffee Been and Ivy and stamp around the edge. And added a little border with a Copic marker in E57.

I didn't spend much time on this. But I'm happy with the way it turned out and I think my grandson will like it as well. 

I hope all of you are have a wonderful time getting ready for the holiday.

Have a wonderful day,
