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...

Fathers Day 2017 train card

Created this Fathers Day card using an image I found on a google search. My step father loves trains, so I looked for an image that had a train drawing in black and white. I used my silhouette cameo to draw the train out, and colored it using colored pencils and gel pens. I used double sided foam tape to secure it to the card. I then cut a circle of bronze colored vinyl to frame the train. I also used my silhouette to cut the vinyl. If you look above the card, you can see the bottom of the envelope, on this I also used my silhouette, and silhouette pens. The image I found another simple train and track image on a google search. The Happy Fathers Day I stamped and then embossed.

Enjoy Every Moment Card - Santoro Gorjuss Stamp Sweet Tea

This is one of the two cards I created last night. The image is Santoro Gorjuss Stamp Sweet Tea. This was the first time I had used this stamp. The set came with quite a lot of very nice stamps, I highly recommend it. I colored her skin and hair with Copic markers. The remainder of the image I colored with Dick Blick markers and Gel Pens. The image was stamped onto a thick white cardstock, and then cut out with a flower die I purchased off of Wish.com. The small flowers at the bottom were also cut with a flower die set off of Wish.com. The sentiment and background paper came from a paper pad from Michaels. Its the Craft Smith, Blush Glam pad. It is absolutely beautiful. The sentiment I attached using foam tape, the paper and image I used double sided tape. The flower I used Scotch Scrap bookers Glue. The rope embellishment at the top is from Recollections. I attached it with double sided tape. The center of the flower is from Bead Landing, Sticky Gems. Copic Hair Colors...
