Coloring fun

Evening. A few cards that I was working on the last few weeks. Took me awhile to get them colored and created but I finally got it done. This first one is using Pure Prairie I believe it is called. Very simple with the designer paper behind the flowers. Some textured embossing to the base mostly with a blue strip of paper down the left edge. Added sparkle for fun. 

Next up is using Vibrant Thanks. These did not turn out like I had envisioned but they will do. Using up some more of the ribbon and pearls that I have in the bags. Textured the base layer on this one and a die cut edge and my sentiment panel. 

This next one used a die cut edge and the same ribbon as above but jewels instead of pearls. Sparkles to finish this one off. 

This one is with Countryside Bouquet that has such a fresh feeling I thought when I was coloring. Added some soft ribbon to this and my sentiment is popped up on some supper fat dimensionals. I did not realize how high they sat until it was too late. Looks okay I guess. 

Then my last one using the same set with green and yellow hue colors. A scalloped edge down the side with some designer paper underneath peaking out. A few enamel dots to the corner and sparkle to call it good. 

Hope you are able to get some creative time in or at least enjoy the fall weather that has started. Have a great day! 

Flowers more

Two floral cards one with a bunch and a simple single. First one is using Prairie cheer. Fancy spellbinders die cut for the base layer. Added some designer paper with a lace trim along the left edge. That is what happens when you gut the designer paper too short. EEK! Anyways a few brads and sparkles to finish it off. 

This one I have to say I had mostly colored up from I can't even tell you how long ago and I just had to finish off the leaves and stems. Embossed the edges with a stitched die since it was such a large card front and added my sentiment. A few sequins accents and sparkles of course. Voila!

Party time cards

Two birthday cards today, very easy peasy using Party Time. Not sure why anytime I photo cards with orange or peach colors it looks brown. So frustrating... anyways this first one I due cut a recipe card shape for the base and stamped the sentiment along the name panel. Added sparkles to the dot that I dry embossed to the base. The designer paper background was the colors I used. Sparkle to the cake and a ribbon bow tied off to the side.

Similar colors using the background paper for the base. Die cut a scallop edge to put across the top of the sentiment panel. A few enamel dots to the edge and sparkles of course to the packages. Voila! 

Fish, golf and tools

A few guy cards today and it felt good to color these up. The sentiment on Fly Guy was perfect for my first one. I have some twine along the side with the two brads, but it didn't turn out how I pictured it but the holes were already made. ha! Added sparkle to the water and a simple die cut behind the image. 

Dusted off these two oldies but goodies of Grumpy Gus. They make me giggle with his hair alone. Added some die cut tool shapes to this first one. A few enamel dots for accents. 

Next one of my favorite of his golfing. Textured a white circle for a background panel. Stamped the sentiment after the pierced border and a few brads. Voila! 

                                 

Another floral dump

This is the last of the floral cards I created the other day. This is Strong and Beautiful set that is timeless for creations. 

This bloom was not turning out like I had planned it to look, but in the end I think it turned out ok. Colored with various Copic markers and a simple layer of designer paper for the base. A few enamel dot accents and some sparkle to the sentiment only for this one. 

My second one is more like I had planned in my head using the peach tones based on the designer paper base. Brad accents on this one and my sentiment panel has a few piercings down the edge. Sparkle added to the flower petals. Voila! 

                                       

Floral dump

A few floral cards today. Having issues getting some creative juices going so I looked back and recreated some older versions that I have done. Started to feel the juices a little again, thank goodness! 

This is a sunflower from Heartfelt creations that is colored with various Copic markers. Some faux stitching around the border and rounded the corners on the image panel. A few brads accents and then some suduko gel pen to the petals.

Second sunflower using pink and brown hues on this one. Die cut heart edge along the embossed piece with faux stitching again along the base panel. Some enamel dots with a twine and button corner. Topped off with sparkles. 

Another set of Hyancinth and Hellebore set. Wood grain based layer and a fancy die cut layer below the bloom. Some sequins accents and sparkle added to the water and the blooms. 

Last is the pretty pink Hellebore with very simple stitched layers and some sequins accents. Of course added sparkle to finish this off. Voila

                                    

Sunday lambs

Good morning. Dusted off a really old set called Loving Lambs to create the other day. I had to make myself sit down and crafts especially since we bought fathers day cards this year. Been a long time since I had bought a card. A good reminder to get ahead of the stash when its really low. Anyways... 

This first one has some soft woodgrain paper for the background. Die cut a heart border with some ribbon wrapped around with a bow. A few tiny pearls for the corner and voila. 

This one I used a few of the scrap sizes from the next card to make a smaller one using the little praying lam. Textured the base layer and added some pearls to the corner. My sentiment is stamped along the side and yes it is not straight. ggrrr.. I usually don't stamp after I color but it was minimal I thought it would be fine. Guessed wrong. 

Next is using one of the large lambs in the set. Wrapped some lace trim and ribbon around the center. Pearl accents and some sparkle of the bell. Voila! Have a great day. 

Girls and boys assortment

I took the picture of these the other day with the mouse card, again the lighting wasn't great. This is something that I am just willing to deal with because I am atleast creating and getting photo's. Somedays will be better than others.  ;-)  

This is Feminine Charms a very old set that I love for girl cards. The hat is just darling in the set. A few base layers of paper and floral paper. Wrapped some twine and button bow for the corner. A few pearls and sparkle to finish.

A Z-fold card for this one, which I have not done in a long time. Added a die cut edge to the two edges and some flowers that a friend made me years ago. Top it off with some pearls. 

How about some guy cards using My Guy Ian I think he was called. Rather fun set of young men. Textured the base on this one to match is shirt and some plaid designer paper. A few more brads used up and the sentiment along the right. 

Another simple one more brads used up and a few scrap panels and sentiment. Notice the easy peasy cards as I try to get back into the groove again. I am just so happy to be coloring and enjoying it all again. 

Hope you have a wonderful day! Thanks for stopping by. 

Mouse assortment

Grabbed these furry guys for an assortment of cards. Lighting wasn't great but I was able to get photos  so here I go. This first one I cut the image down a little to fit on a 5x5 card. Easy layers and some faux stitching around the image panel. Added some brads and some sparkles to the berries. 

This next one I stamped the sentiment along the right side with some designer paper down the left. A few more brads and yes more sparkle. 

I giggle at this one because he has that little smile of up to no good. hee hee  Textured background to match the scrap designer paper at the base. Some added sparkles and brads. 

Daffodils

My mini daffodils came up great this year, I was super happy. I have such a brown thumb and when they actually bloom I am happy. Thought about coloring up these daffodils in the honor of them actually surviving. haha 

My first one is rather simple with some swiss dots embossed backing. My thank you sentiment across the bottom and some more brads. Added some sparkle as well. 

This one a little more simple with an embossed backing and a small strip of color. The blue flowers did not turn out like I planned so I had to color them in which was frustrating but such is crafting at times. More brads and some sparkle. Voila! Have a great day. 

Lavender Camillas

These two cards are using Simply Camilla's which is another all time favorite flower. I know the clear stamp is not longer available but I think that Power Poppy does have the digital versions available. My first card has a spellbinder die across the bottom of the base layer. Added an embossed leaf to the lavender piece. Colored with Copics and added some sparkles and more of the brads as I might as well use them. 

This one frustrated me a bit as the green on the leaves didn't color like I wanted, oh well. Die cut tag for the behind panel with ribbon and lace trim wrapped around. More of the flourished pearls and some sparkle. I do like cutting out around the flowers though. My favorite part on this card was popping those up after cutting around the edges. Awwww... Have a great day! 

Sunflower smiles

Holy cow two posts in the same year, I am off to a great start then. ha ha  This is a really old one called Autumn Blessings I think? Really old but I do like the image. A little bit of sparkle and might as well use up some brads since I have a million of these things. 

Next is a sunflower from Heartfelt creations and I totally forgot the name of this one. I liked the bumblebee designer paper with this one. Added sparkles and some die cut heart to the bottom. 

Same stamp but only used a portion of the image. Lots of these flourished pearls in my stash so added those and some ribbon. Another easy peasy set of cards. Thanks for stopping by.

Creating again

Good morning. Been awhile since I posted on the blog or even created much. Life has been exciting and busy, which is positive.  My crafting has taken a back seat but hoping to revive it once again. Over the last few weeks I colored and created the below. Forgive me for not putting links and such. I am just happy to get something posted. :-) 

This first one was using Bountiful Blessings. Stamped the sentiment along the side panel and some designer paper down the left side. Sparkles and such was added but hard to see in the picture. 

Birthday card using Fly Guy. Man do I need to work on a few things, rusty! ;-)  Simply wrapped some twine around the base layers and sparkle added to the water. 

This is using Tiger Lily Xl, still one of my favorite flowers. Top layer is popped up for dimensional. Faux stitched border around the edge. Sparkles of course on the petals.

Several baby cards needed for the coming week. Using several stamps from Crafters Companion. Older die cuts from a company no longer in business. Faux stitching around the edges and some sparkles. 

Another this one a boy card. Same info just different colors. 

I have to say my favorite baby one that I created using this guy from Whimsy Stamps. He just makes me smile. Added ribbon, some more sparkles and dies. 

Well hopefully I won't wait a year to post again. But for now, hope you are doing well and God is being a blessing to you! Have a great day.
