Happy Birthday Little Princess

This afternoon I'm posting with the All Dressed Up Digital Design team and we share another round of new images for September.  My Design Team card is made with the focus on the new image ''Crown of Hearts". 

I've had these little teepee dies for a long time and, like many of our crafty toys, thought they would be perfect with this new image.  I used Copic markers for coloring the ADU Crown of Hearts image and then used Gina Marie Designs Stitched Scalloped Rectangle die for the edging.  

The striped border was from my scraps bin and matched the die cut teepees as well as the dotted background paper.   I secured each piece to the 5 1/2" square white cardstock card base as shown to complete my design.

Thanks for stopping by to see what I've been working on.  I hope you will check out the All Dressed Up Challenge Blog to see all the Design Team cards and to enter your ADU image card.

Welcome to my blog today as I share with you my posting for the Word Art Wednesday Challenge for Weeks 770 and 771. 

Our sponsor for this challenge is Gina K Designs and our featured scripture is from Proverbs 19:17.

 For this card I stamped the geraniums on cream card stock, colored with Copic markers.  This set included the die, which made a nice pretty edged cut.   

Next I sized and printed the selected scripture and then die cut it and the polka dotted print background piece using Gina Marie X-Stitched Oval Die set.

Continuing the cream color palette, I made the card base out of cream cardstock also and added the purple mat, then secured the ovals and flowers. Lastly I added a small butterfly on the flower to add a bit of dimension.

Spooky~

Good morning from the All Dressed Up Digital Design Team!  Today 's the day for a new blog challenge to be posted and to see if you were a winner last month.  I'll link you at the bottom of my blog.

For my Design card I selected 'Pumpkin Hat' and made a 'spooky' Halloween card with this adorable little girl and her cat.  

After printing the image and coloring with Copic markers, I die cut the completed image with Gina Marie Designs Drop Pendant Die.  I made a purple cardstock card base and added the fun plaid paper background,  

Whimsy Stamps, Trees Assortment Die Set gives you lots of options for trees of all sizes.    I used a dark gray sheet and cut the entire set, then just played around with the placement until I got this design I was happy with and secured to the card front.  The 'Spooky' vertical sentiment I typed and printed here at home.  I added a little gray ink around the edges before adding to the card front.  Lastly I added three tiny tiny black flying bats up in the trees.

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you will visit the All Dressed Up challenge blog, see the other's design projects and add your ADU Image cards too!

Beautiful Day

Good morning! Today I'm posting with the Design Team from the Classic Design Challenge Blog as we open the new challenge for Sept/Oct.  For this challenge we are giving you the 'Optional Twist' of Autumn Colors.

Our two awesome sponsors for this challenge are Goha Designs and Alex Syberia.  For my Design Team card I selected Alex Syberia's Beautiful Day. 

I love the depth of the flowers in this image which were easy to capture and highlight.  The tiny bird in the center is a great focal point and this image could be used for many different events.

I used Copic markers for coloring and added a dusty rose floral patterned paper for the background matting.   Next I was able to wrap the colored image with a thin gold thread and added a vintage gold button to ground them together.  After mounting the background and image, I added the coordinating green strip across the bottom and the Happy Birthday sentiment.

I love how beautiful this card and design came out.  I am especially proud as it celebrates my neighbor, Ms June's 91'st birthday!

Happy Birthday June!

Just a Girl Who Loves Hockey!

In my wonderful circle of girlfriends called 'Stamp Camp Girls', the youngest one still definitely has the energy and stamina for all the 'get up and go' activities!

Yet I think she still took most of our group by surprise when she sent the group photo from her National Hockey Competition!!!

Yet that is so Jackie!  So full of energy and fun!

When I found this charm of a pair of hockey sticks, I knew they would be my inspiration for her birthday card!

 For the image, I used a free Google hockey player and colored with my Copic alcohol markers. I added some background stenciling around the cute hockey player using Picked Raspberry Distressed Oxide and the Gina Marie Designs Tye Died Arches stencil.  I added a black mat behind the image, then die cut the sentiment, image and background we die cut using Gina Marie Design Label 2.

For the A2 cardbase, I added the coordinating magenta cardstock, then secured each layer.  I also added a piece of fun foam behind the sentiment to raise it and add depth to the card. Lastly I tied black yarn around the fold and put the hockey sticks charm in the knot.

Hope you have a Fun Filled Birthday Jackie!

Checkmate

 When you have the honor of watching your first grandchild being born, which seems like just yesterday... it's hard to imagine he's turning 19 today!

But he is and I'm very proud of the young man he has become.

Sharing the chess board birthday card I sent to him for his special day. 

This die set has been just waiting around for quite some time and I hope to use it quite a few more times as it sure has many possibilities for great masculine cards.

Hope you have a Fantastic Birthday Spencer!

Good morning and welcome to to my posting with he Design Team for Word Art Wednesday Challenge Weeks 766-767.

Our sponsor for this edition is Lawn Fawn who is also offering a $25.00 gift certificate.  

Our featured scripture is from Isaiah, Chapter 26, verse 3.  Remember you can download the beautifully calligraphy written version of this verse at the Word Art Wednesday blog site for use on your cards and future projects.

I didn't have any Lawn Fawn images that fit well with this scripture so I selected the 'Cattail' stamp from Northwoods Stamps.

I used Copic markers for coloring and then die cut the image and the sentiment with Spellbinders Fluted Classic Rectangle die set.  I secured both pieces on a navy blue card base then added the two tiny strips of washi tape at the top and bottom of the sentiment box to complete the design.

Thanks for stopping by today .  I hope you'll visit the Word Art Wednesday challenge to see the other Design Team cards and to enter your anything goes cards.

A Little Love

Join me in celebrating my Baby Girl's Birthday today! 

This is one of the two cards I made for her for her special day, knowing she would love this image but never expecting to get the reaction that I got.

Kimberly has a special love for chihuahuas and especially the black and brown ones.  She was an amazing 'Fur Mommy;' for 'Mindy' for 17 years.  

Last year she adopted 'Willow', a chihuahua mix who follows her every footstep every day.

Unity's, Bella Rescue Tales was perfect for remembering her babies and allowing them to gift her on her special day.  When she opened the card she sweetly smiled ~ and froze.

Finally I said, "Breathe honey" and then everyone teared up...

Definitely a special moment ~ Unity stamps have a way of doing that! 

Happy Birthday Kimberly!

A Very Important Date

Today I'd like to share with you the card I am entering in the Moondrea Monthly Progressive Challenge.  This is Andreia Silvia's 'White Rabbit' from her Fairytale Portrait Collection.

What fun to work through the characters of this childhood favorite.  I'll reference my other completed cards in this series at the end for this posting. 

After printing the image of 'White Rabbit' I colored her using Copic markers and Wink of Stella.  I used Pink Fresh's 'Ornate Banner Die set for the image and the background edges and Gina Marie's 'Drop Pendant' for the sentiment die cutting.

I cut the card base to coordinate with the darker shades in her hair and then secured each layer.  Once everything was secure, I added a little Platinum Stickles around the clock faces and a bit of clear Wink of Stella on the pearl bracelets.

Thanks for stopping by today.  Be sure to check out Moondrea Designs on Facebook or her Etsy site.
