Yorkie Birthday Card

This card I created for my mothers birthday. She has been a yorkie owner my whole life. This card was actually a lot of fun to make, and she absolutely loved it. The image is a stamp called Yorkshire Terrier Dog Rubber Stamp, Yorkie with Grocery Shopping Card, Sold by: Rubberhedgehog Rubber Stamps, you can find it on Amazon. The image was colored with a mix of colored pencils and gel pens. The image was stamped on a very light color designed paper, and both the image, and the background frame were cut with a die. The decorative papers in the background came from Michaels. The flowers were another die I used, however I used a thicker card stock, and honestly wasn't really that happy with them. I used some decorative pearls in the flowers and on the piece of ribbon. For the Happy Birthday saying I used my Silhouette and Silhouette pens, then cut it out by hand.
I've only been playing with stamping and card making for a couple months. I thoroughly enjoy it, and enjoy giving my family and friends something unique to them, that I hand crafted. I've spent a great deal of time, reading and learning from others, and am always seeking ways to learn more, to better myself, and my cards. My cards aren't perfect, but neither am I :-) I'm also new to blogging, but I wanted to put my cards out there for others to see, so that maybe they can get some ideas too.

Mad Hatter Spray Paint Art

This piece of art I created to enter into a contest. The contest rules was you had to create something using Oramask 813 Stencil Film purchased from https://expressionsvinyl.com/ . I didn't win the contest :'-( but had fun making this piece anyway. What I used was a piece of semi smooth wood approximately 24"x18". I purchased the wood at Home Depot. The silhouette of the Mad Hatter (The Johnny Depp version) I found online. I transferred the silhouette into my Silhouette program, traced it in the program, and cut it with my Cameo. The Wording at the bottom is one of the scripts that came with my Silhouette program. I also cut it out with my Cameo. I then weeded the whole thing....it took a lot of time, but I think was worth it. I weeded it backwards, so there would be no film in the areas that I wanted the design to show. The only stencil I left was the stencil in the negative areas. Reason being this was to be applied to the wood and spray painted. First I add...

Wonder Woman Card

The image of Wonder Woman is NOT my image. I found her on Google. Not sure who is the artist, whoever it is, they are amazing. :-) It was already colored in as well. This was just a quick card I put together for one of my girlfriends that I work with. She is always working her rear end off, and doing more and more. I was joking with her that she must be wonder woman, I then saw this image and just had to make a card out of it for her! Something to make her smile, when her day sucks. I printed up the image on some off white cardstock, then attached it with double sided tape to black cardstock. I used some scrap paper I had that I thought went well with it, added some black see through ribbon, a couple stars, and a couple metal embellishments. The image and black paper were attached using foam tape, to give the card some dimension. The rest was secured using double sided tape. Quick and easy card. :-)

Alice in Wonderland-Stencil Art

I created this piece to go along with the one I did of the Mad Hatter. It is also made out of a piece of semi smooth wood approximately 24"x18". I also purchased this piece of wood at the same time as the one for the Mad Hatter. It was one piece that I had them cut for me. I then took it home and spray painted the whole thing with two coats of black spray paint. This design was also found on the web. I put the design into my silhouette program, traced it and cut it out of Oramask 813 Stencil Film I purchased from https://expressionsvinyl.com/ . I then weeded it out, removing all the negative pieces. I added my transfer tape, and removed the backing. I then put the design onto the painted piece of wood and removed the transfer tape, leaving the stencil secured to the wood. This time I decided to paint the design with acrylic paints, GLITTER acrylic paints!!! <3 GLITTER!!!! You can't really tell from the photo, but in person it shines like a diamond. :-) I sponge ...
