Winter Wonders Princess

Good morning everyone!  I have a sweet little Christmas card to share with you today.

This little cutie is Princess and she is from our latest Winter Wonders collection over at Funky Kits.  I colored her with copics and colored pencils and added some Glamour Dust to her crown, flower, and shoes.  I finished this clean and simple card with a bow and some pearls.  I'm hoping the ribbon won't be too bulky as this card will be going through the mail.  The sentiment is from one of my favorite Christmas stamp sets by Papertrey Ink. 

Thank you so much for stopping by.  Have a wonderful day!

Hugs, Anita

Good evening to all of you!  I have another gorgeous image by Sylvia Zet to share with you.

This image is Rowan Fairy and of course I fell in love with her as soon as I saw her :)  I colored her with copics and colored pencils and used Glamour Dust on her wings.  I added some little pearls around the image with my Viva Décor Pearl Pen.  The papers are by Simple Stories.  I added a bow and tied on a rusty little jinglebell with some hemp cording.  The snowflakes are from the My Favorite Things snowflake die-namic and I added some half-pearls for a little more bling!

All Dressed Up For Mummy

I'm just popping on here to add one more Halloween card.  This little cutie will probably be my last one for the year.  Well, unless I find the time to squeeze in maybe one more.  I do love making Halloween cards :)

I used this adorable image from All Dressed Up Stamps by Wendy Burns.  Have you checked out her Etsy shop?  If not, you really should.  She's got lots of absolutely adorable images over there!  Anyway, this sweetie is All Dressed Up For Mummy and I've colored him with copics and colored pencils.  I added some Glossy Accents to the spiders to give them some shine.  The border punch and cobweb punch are by Martha Stewart.  Then I just added some ribbon and a few buttons.  This will probably be my grandson's Halloween card :)

Thanks so much for stopping by.

Heartfelt Thanks

Good morning sweet friends.  Today is inspiration Tuesday over on the By LORi Designs Blog and we're sharing some fall-themed cards.

I used this sweet little pilgrim called Puddle Jumper Autumn Eliza on my card today.  OK, I do know that the pilgrims wore greys and browns but I just could NOT dress this little cutie in those drab colors ... so she got colored in yellows and greens lol!  I colored her with copics and colored pencils and added some ribbon, flowers, and tiny pearls.  The sentiment is from CC Designs and my papers are by Imaginisce.  Be sure to stop by the By LORi Designs Blog to see what the rest of this amazing DT is sharing.  You'll find tons of inspiration over there!

Autumn

Happy Monday to all of you.  The weekend has come and gone and I didn't seem to get much done ... but I did enjoy myself.  Sometimes we all need to just slow down and enjoy life a little more, don't we?  I have had this image colored for ages and did manage to finish up a card with this lovely lady.

This sweet image is called Fall Leaves and you can find her over in the Time For Tea Designs' Etsy Shop.  Jo has lots of other cute images in her shop and if you check out her blog you'll see that she's having a fabulous sale, too!  Anyway, I colored her with copics and colored pencils and used some pretty fall papers by Reminisce.  I added some seam binding, pearls, a leaf diecut, and a sentiment to finish off the card.  

Thank you so much for stopping by.  I hope you have a wonderful day.  Now I'm off to get busy on some DT work that's due soon :)

Good afternoon everyone!  I hope your weekend is off to a great start.  I have another Halloween card to share today.

This image is Meoples Ghost Spooky rubber stamp and you can find it over in the CC Designs Shop.  This was such a quick and easy card to make!  I colored the image with copics and colored pencils and added Glamour Dust to the letters.  I used the CC Designs Cutters Witches Fence Die  behind the ghosts and used a nestabilities to cut out the circle.  Some ribbon and buttons finished my not-so-spooky card.

Happy Friday to everyone!  We're starting a new Farm Fresh Friday Challenge over on the Greeting Farm Blog today.  This week it was Peggy's turn to choose the theme and she has created a sketch for us to follow.  Easy peasy, right?

Furry Friends' Holidays

Happy Thursday everyone!  The weekend is just around the corner ... and so is Christmas!  So I thought I'd get another Christmas card made to add to my stash. 

This adorable image is Furry Friends and you can find it over at Funky Kits.  This stamp was one of the first Sugar Nellie stamps I ever bought.  I loved it the first time I saw it and I still love it!  I colored these friends with copics and colored pencils and used Glamour Dust on the snow-covered ground and her outfit.  I added some pearl dots with my Pearl Pen and used some of my new Impression Obsession dies to cut out the snowflakes and trees.  The paper is some older BoBunny I had in my stash and the sentiment is by PTI.

Happy Tuesday sweet friends!  We are starting a new Garden Variety Tuesday Challenge over on the Greeting Farm Blog and the theme is Happy Halloween.  Now, it's OK if you don't make Halloween cards.  While I love making cards for Halloween I know that others don't.  So, if you don't do the "Halloween" card thingy, then just use some typical Halloween colors for your card ... such as orange, black, purple, and/or green.

I used this adorable little digi called Hallobean ... isn't she a cute little witch?  I colored her with copics and colored pencils and then used some Glamour Dust on her hat and buttons for a little bit of sparkle.  Be sure to stop by the Greeting Farm Blog to see what the rest of the DT is sharing today.  This challenge will be open for two weeks so you've got plenty of time to enter.  Of course, there's a prize for a random winner too :)

Farm Fresh Friday over at The Greeting Farm

Happy Friday to all of you!  Today starts a new Farm Fresh Friday Challenge over on the Greeting Farm Blog.  It was our lovely Rachel's turn to choose our theme and she wants to see ... anything but a card. 

I picked up this journal at Michaels a couple of weeks ago for $1.  I had no idea what I was going to do with it but geez, $1?  I couldn't pass it up for that price, right?   So I decided I would make my daughter a Christmas planner this year so she can keep track of Christmas gifts, wish lists, parties, etc.  I used the adorable Holiday Anya 2 and colored her with copics and colored pencils.  I applied Glamour Dust to her sash and cut her out with some nestabilities.  I added some tabs to the pages but left them blank so my daughter can decide how she wants to use this little journal.  Then I tied some matching ribbons along the edge for a fun look.  I'm pretty sure she's going to love this little planner :)   Please be sure to stop by the Greeting Farm Blog to see what the rest of the DT is sharing today.

Thank you so much for stopping by.  I hope you have a wonderful weekend!

Good morning to all of you!  Today over on the CC Designs Blog we're reviewing some of our stamps from the October release. 

This stamp is Roberto's Rascals' Santas Coming Tonight and I colored it with copics and colored pencils.  Looks like this little fella wrote Santa a note and then fell fast asleep, doesn't it?  I used some Glamour Dust and Glossy Accents on the card and finished it with hemp cording and a button.  The sentiment is also from this month's release and it's from the Joyful Greetings Sentiments stamp set by AmyR.  Be sure to stop by the CC Designs Blog to see what the rest of the DT is sharing today.

Garden Variety Tuesday at TGF

Good morning to all of you!  We're starting a new Garden Variety Tuesday Challenge over on the Greeting Farm Blog today and I hope you can join us.  This week was sweet Joni's turn to choose the theme and she has chosen "Hats Where It's At" ... so, you can use any TGF image with a hat.  

I used this sweet little Beanie Ian for my card and colored him with copics and colored pencils.  I applied some Liquid Applique to his hat and the tiny little marshmallows in his cocoa, and then zapped it with my heat gun to make it puffy ... love that stuff lol!  The sentiment is by CC Designs and I thought it was perfect with this image.  I added some snowflakes and twine to finish my card.  Be sure to stop by the Greeting Farm Blog to see some fabulous inspiration and to get the challenge details!

Peace & Love This Season

Hello everyone!  Just popping on quickly to share a CAS Christmas card I made that required no coloring.  I don't often make cards with no image other than a sentiment but I thought I'd try something quick and easy. 

I used a new October release rubber stamp by CC Designs called Naughty or Nice Sentiments.  I added a big bow along with a snowflake cut with the CC Designs Cutter snowflake die.  I covered the snowflake with Glamour Dust and added a button and some twine. 

Thanks so much for stopping by!  Enjoy your weekend :)

Farm Fresh Friday over at TGF

Happy Friday!  Yes, it's finally here :)  This has been the l-o-n-g-e-s-t week and I was beginning to think that Friday would never roll around lol!  Got lots of fun planned for this weekend so I'm glad it's finally here!  Anyway, we are starting a new Farm Fresh Friday Challenge today over on the Greeting Farm Blog.  It was our lovely Thanh's turn to choose the theme and she wants to hear it for the boys. 

I am using CC Dante, one of our new October release images.  I colored him with my copics and colored pencils.  Then I added some hemp cord and a button.  My sentiment is stamped on a Simple Stories Snap Sticker.  A very CAS card since I always seem to have trouble picking embellishments for masculine cards :(  Be sure to stop by the Greeting Farm Blog to see what the rest of the DT is sharing today.  I promise you won't be disappointed!  While you're there, you can read all the challenge details too :)

A Christmas Wrapped In Joy

Good morning everyone!  Today I'm sharing a Christmas card using one of the beautiful images from Sugar Nellie's latest release.

This little sweetie is called Elf Made Magic and she is a digi that you can find over in the Funky Kits shop.  I colored her with copics and colored pencils and used lots of Glamour Dust on her and the snowflakes.  Not your traditional Christmas colors but this is one of my favorite color combos and I think it's perfect for Christmas!  The sentiment is from the CC Designs shop.

I used this adorable Christmas with Ralphie image on my card.  And, wouldn't Christmas be lots of fun with this ornament-riding critter spending the holidays with you lol?  I colored him with copics and colored pencils and used Glossy Accents on his nose and feet.  I applied Glamour Dust to the ornament.  Once again, a CAS card using up some of my leftover scraps ... yay me!  Be sure to stop by the CC Designs Blog to see what the rest of the team is sharing today.  You can find all of the new October release over in the  CC Designs shop.
