Quilts and Coco

Good Day, I hope all of you had a fabulous Christmas, I know I did. I so enjoy watching the kids and grand kids opening presents and being so happy and grateful. One of my favorite things to do is cuddle up in a warm blanket with a cup of hot chocolate watch a great movie or read a good book. And I did just that as long as the air conditioner is on it's not to bad.

 

For my card I stamped and colored the Designer Quilt Square  then die cut and layer it onto the green card stock I stamped the once onto red cs and embossed it with white embossing powder. then a second time on to white cs I fussy cut and layered the red cup over the white. The new Warm thoughts greeting was stamped and layered onto green.

Have a wonderful day,

Snowy Birthday

Hi all, today I wanted to show you a card I made for my granddaughters birthday its not until December so want it to be more winter and not to much Christmas. I found this stamp last year but it did not arrive in time to us it then. I also wanted to use a different fold, so I chose to do a gate fold.

I started by stamping Marci by La - La Land Crafts I tried some different color combinations an  and decided to use the burgundy and brown on the front. After fussy cutting Marci I started on the front of the card. I cut two burgundy panels then using a old toothbrush and Copic Opaque White I spattered the panels. For the hill she is standing on was cut with a die then lightly covered with Flowersoft snow white. The sign is from DRS designs.The snowflake punches are MS.

I also want to tell you about a great deal that I found  it's a web site called Scrapbook Outlet  they have great prices on die and embossing folders I got five dies and a embossing folder for fifty dollars and free shipping. The service was a little slow as it took 4 days for it to be shipped but it does say on the web site that it could take three to five days, I ordered on a Monday and had it in my hand by the next Tuesday. At these prices I would gladly order from them again.

  

Have a wonderful day,

Christmas Winter

Hi all, we are having the best weather for the past few days 80 degrees and no humility. It really has me looking forward to fall of the year.

 My card today is a winter scene. 

  The sky was airbrushed through a mask, the colors that I used were Y35,BV02, and BV13.

I stamped the trees from the Pine Tree Snowdrifts  with coco ink.

Then I used some of the trees from the Tree Line Border . I added a layer of torn paper that was stamped with the Tiny Snowman. I used glitter glue to add some depth to the snow. 

I stamped the 4 in 1 Flower Background around the edge. For the frame I stamped the Merry Christmas from the Christmas Multi Greeting then stamped more of the 4 in 1 Flower Background, Perfect Pearls was added to the branches. To make the frame stable I used a layer of fun foam behind the frame.Everything was attached to a kraft card.

On the inside I stamped the Memories Are Made Christmas Greeting and some of the branches onto white card stock.

On the back I stamped the Script Hand Stamped and the branch on some die cut white card.

Christmas Village Snow Globe

For today card I wanted to make a Snow Globe card, so I started think about snow globes. When my daughter was in high school she collected Disney Snow Globes they were so pretty she got one every Christmas until well after she was married and said that she was running out of room to keep them. They are so pretty and the pretties ones have things on the outside not just in the globe. So this is what got me started.

I started by stamping the base from the Snow Globe stamp, I needed the base to be larger so I used the stamp a ma jig to line up the to sides. It was colored with Copic Markers and fussy cut. Then I stamped the Christmas Village Pond and colored it with copic markers this was also fussy cut. Then I stamped the globe image I stamped the Pine Tree Snowdrifts   and the Snowman from the Christmas Village four in one  Accessories set. The Christmas Village House and the Trees were stamped and colored with copics then fussy cut. Lots of glitter glue and flower soft was added. Pop dots were used to attach everything. A while jell pen was used to add snow to the trees and sky. For the Tag on the front I used the Christmas Multi Greeting. The background was embossed in a embossing folder.

( I just could not get a good pic)

This is colors that I used,

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, I got my tree up on Saturday I was begin to think it was not going to happen this year. This working crazy hours sure put a cramp in my crafting and fun stuff that I like to do. But life is full of changes.

Today I have a cute Christmas / winter card. I used the Let it Snow Penguins. It was stamped with black ink and the little Penguins were colored with copic markers. I used a die to cut out the image. Then I used Liquid Pearls to outline the word snow. I didn't get as good of coverage as would have liked.
