I know its a tad bit early for a 4th of July card, but this is what I came across first in my cards folder.
This little bear Ive had for quite awhile..I don't even remember where I got it, but I do love this little guy.
The background of my card was first stamped with a set that I got from the Michael's one dollar spot. I stamped in blue and red. After that I went through my pattern paper and came across the 4th of July paper I used on the bottom half of my card. I was also lucky and found a ribbon that had the 4th of July colors in it. It was a lucky day for bringing my card all together with the supplies I had on hand.
I colored my little bear with Prismacolor Markers and Sharpies. Cut him out with my circle punch and then used my Spellbinders to make my scallop mat. Lastly I added the sentiment "the 4th of July" and cut it out using my star punch.
Pretty simple to put together once you find all the supplies you want to use.
Hope you all had a wonderful Holiday weekend....I didn't do much..just kinda relaxed. Until next time...tata for now...
Here is a stamp that I haven't used in quite awhile. Sometimes I need to remember to go through my stamps and see what I have that I had forgotten about. I love this little girl. She has so many possibilities as far as cards go. Birthdays, Thinking Of You, Get Well, and on and on. I especially love the way she is holding the little bird...actually I made mine chickens..haha.
I made my background by stamping the blue flowers all over my card. Ive been trying to do some backgrounds with my stamps instead of always turning to pattern paper.
I colored my little girl with Copics and Prismacolor markers. The ribbon and paper are from Papertrey Ink
The sentiment "In my thoughts" came from one of my clear stamp sets that I bought from Michael's one dollar spot.
Last, I used my Nestabilities Dies to cut around my image and stamped some more flowers on the side.
Hope you all have a wonderful holiday weekend. Tata for now.....
I really like how this card turned out. I love the bright colors. I stamped the upper half of the card with stamps and then used some of my pretty decorative paper on the bottom. Matted my butterfly on green and orange cardstock. I stamped the butterfly image in the blue and then colored the outside of the butterfly with one of my green Prismacolor markers.
Today was nice and warm here. Middle 80's. I actually turned the air on today since something in the air is really bothering me right now. Seems as I get older my allergies get worse. Its bad enough my eyes are getting worse, now allergies bugging me...I hate to think whats next....actually I'm not gonna think that cause I probably don't wanna know..haha.
Pam...I do hope you get a chance to pamper yourself soon dear. Maybe this weekend?
Lots more cards to show you in the days to come...more later..tata
I think I might use this card as a Birthday card. Seems like one should relax on their Birthday. I'm sure it could be used for many other things, but I always have tons of Birthday cards to send out..so this one works for me.
The pattern paper is TAC (The Angel Company) Added some cute pink flowers and colored with PrismacolorCopics.
Speaking of Copics, I just got three more yummy colors today in the mail. They are all in the pink family. Hopefully I will get a chance to play with them tomorrow.
Ive been busy planting Hostas and flowers the last couple of days. Thought that while it was nice and sunny outside and no rain in sight, it would be a good time to get them planted. Of course I bought some more flowers today, so will need to get those planted probably tomorrow.
I finished a wedding scrapbook that I was working on. I am going to take some pictures of it tomorrow out in my sunroom, so maybe I will post some of the pictures here so you can see. I design these scrapbooks for whoever gets them to just add their pictures. Pretty easy. Plus if people don't scrapbook or don't have the time, they don't need to worry, its done for them.
Anyway, that's it for now..more later..tata
and
This image could pretty much be made into any kind of card...I needed a baby card, so that's what I made mine into.
I collect elephants, so any elephant stamp I see, I'm probably gonna get it.
Card was very simple to put together. Colored with Copics and Prismacolor markers. Two mats for the image. Decorative paper was in my stash.
That's about it...I love to make simple cards every now and again...lol
Hope you all have a wonderful weekend. Its gonna rain here all weekend...whats new. At least my grass is nice and green.
More to come soon...tata for now...
Thought this little guy was too cute. I paper pieced the balloons and hat with the pattern paper I used on the card. The sentiment "happy birthday" came with the same set as the elephant.
I colored my elephant with copic markers. Stamped the two presents at the bottom of the card onto the pattern paper and cut them out.
I might try my hand at this image again with different pattern paper and add something a bit more...not sure why, but this card seems plain to me. Maybe if I had added some ribbon..who knows...I'm sure you will see this little guy again with a new color scheme...lol
Hope all you mothers out there had a wonderful Mothers Day. My day was great. My family took me to brunch and then we just spent the rest of the day relaxing.
More later...tata for now
This paper pack is becoming one of my favs so far. I love the vibrant colors. They remind me of summer.
I colored my bird with Copics and Prismacolor markers and used stickles on the birds wing and tail.
I'm not sure what the little bird told me yet, so I will have to add something on the inside of the card when I figure that out.
I have created three new cards that need to be photographed yet.
Yesterday was spent printing out tons of pictures that I have had on my laptop for over a year. I don't know how I got so backed up. I really shouldn't do that since my photo printers ink is not cheap. Not to mention there are like 7 or 8 cartridges...yikes.
Anyway, its a beautiful day here today..sun is out and it warm, but not too warm. I'm taking my youngest to a movie soon, so better scoot.
Tata for now..............
Ok, I'm on a roll now....I do not want to jinx myself, so onto my card. This is a Close To My Heart set called Do Nothing. Believe it or not, I have had this set for quiet awhile and this is the first time I have used it. Shameless I know. Sometimes I think I have way too many stamps and just forget about what I have...does that make me not buy anymore? No of course not..LOL
Ok, I colored my gal with Prismacolor markers. Decorative paper is from a stack I got at JoAnn Fabric...I believe its called Citrus...I love the vibrant colors in this paper stack. Its very summery. I found some orange rik rak ribbon in my stash and thought it went perfect with my paper. I used my Stampin Up tag punch and added the flip flops and the "Its your day" which is The Angel Company....I myself cannot wait until I'm outside relaxing while reading a book. Now if the weather would just cooperate, it would be awesome.
Until next time..tata for now.....
