Back to School

Happy Friday!

 

 

It's time for a new Cardz TV 3D challenge.  The challenge theme is "Back to School.'

 

 I created a fun 8 crayon box......

 

 

The rainbow was cut out of white cardstock, same as the box. 

 I colored the 'rings' with Copic Markers, before gluing them to the base.

 

 

 

I highlighted the rainbow 'rings' with Copic Spica Pens in matching colors. 

 

 

 

The sentiment is from Cardz TV "This 'n' That" stamp set. 

 

 

Supplies:

Cardz TV Stamp Set

Paper Trey Ink Cardstock
Crayon Box Silhouette File
Rainbow Silhouette File

Copic Spica Pen

Copic Markers (R46, YR68, Y13, G07, B28, V09)
Ranger Archival Ink

 

 

Red, White, & Aqua Clown

Happy Tuesday!!!

 

I am sharing with you today a cute little card.  I had so much fun making this. 

 

 

I used the Peachy Keen Stamp June SOTM set for the cute little clown.  He was stamped onto Xpress Blending card, and colored with Copics

Face - E0000, E000, E00, E11, E21

Shirts/Shoes/Eyes/Tie/Highlight - BG10, BG13, BG15, BG18

Clothes/Shoes/Ticket - R22, R24, R27, R29, R59 

Hair - R32, R35, R37, R39

 

The inspiration for the colors of the clown was Timeless Twine June Color Challenge. 

For the base of the card, I used Samantha Walker's Carousel card file from the Silhouette store. 

 

 

 The file has a carousel horse in the middle of the front image.  I modified the file so that my clown would be the focus.  I popped the red tent piece on foam tape...this added a bit of dimension and made the clown more of a focal point. 

 

 

To highlight his shoes, I accented them with a turquoise Copic Spica pen. 

 

 

One of my favorite things to do is add glossy accents to the glasses of my images.  So realistic and adds just a bit of fun. 

The red cardstock image was outlined with a clear Copic Spica Pen, plus the red polka dots on the clown's shirt. 

 

To give the card a more finished appearance, I outlines the front with Firecracker Twine from my stash.

Happy Friday!

 

 

It's a beautiful day here in the Midwest, and while the baby was napping I came up with this little fun creation.  :-)

 

 

 

 

My inspiration was the Peachy Keen Stamps Photo Inspiration.

 

 

The red flowers reminded me of tomato plants...then that led to me thinking of a summer garden, and finally peppers.  Everyone seems to grow peppers.  And since I had the new stamp of the month set, the sentiments would be perfect for chili peppers.  :-)

 

The design was inspired by Mojo Monday Sketch 128.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Supplies:

Scraptastical Kreations Fiesta file (chili peppers)

PKSc-29 (sentiment)

PKSC-18 (faces for peppers)

Spica Glitter Pens (eyes)

Dry Chalk

Fluid Chalk

PaperTrey Ink cardstock

Stash Papers

Happy Saturday!

With the cold artic blast, and snow expected, I thought I'd stay inside with the kids where it's nice and warm....and craft while they played. 
 

One of the creations of today is for the current Peachy Keen Stamps Release challenge.
The challenge theme is.....It's Your Birthday.
The theme is in honor of the challenge host, Vivien, and Kathy, the Peachy Queen.

Happy Birthday ladies!!



 

Speaking of birthdays.....my hubby's birthday is mid-January.  I thought I'd take this opportunity to make his birthday card.
 

 

 

 

My husband is a US Navy Veteran.  That was the inspiration for this card.  I purchased the Fancy Pants Down by the Shore paper pad over the summer.  Isn't it perfect for his card?

 

The sentiment (Happy Birthday) is from the April 2012 SOTM set from Peachy Keen Stamps, stamped in white pigment ink.  The picture does not show it well, but I highlighted the sentiment with a Spica Glitter Pen, like the waves and the sails.  I used my Silhouette Cameo to cut all the pieces of for the card.

 

My husband is several years older than I am.  So, I stamped, on the inside, the sentiment (not pictured) from the PKS December 2012 SOTM set that say says......

 

You're not old.

But you will ALWAYS be

OLDER THAN ME!

 

I tease him ALL the time about our age difference.  This sentiment is perfect!

 

He was a bit nosey while I was creating this.  Therefore, he won't be surprised when he receives this card next month.  Oh well, that's what he gets for being curious.  :-)
