WISHING YOU

I'm here to share with you a sweet holiday card that I made for Createful Heart Design this month using their image called Little Baking Girl. 

This image reminds me of baking cookies with my granddaughters.  I hope to do scrapbook pages using the pictures of baking with them and will also use this image on the page. 

SEASON'S GREETINGS

I wanted to share a card I designed this month with a wonderful new digital image from Createful Heart Design. Isn't it a great image??  Lots of detail in this one.

The beautiful red card stock is called Cherry Cobbler by Stampin' UP. I used a gorgeous piece of DP from K&Company and a sentiment from Lawn Fawn.

Also used were pretty shining adhesive dots by Gina Marie Designs and a glittery snowflake from Recollections. Copics were used for coloring the image.

You can find this digital image, called Holiday Yum, HERE!

NUTCRACKERS

Hello everyone! I'm here today to show you a project that I made using a die set from this months Frantic Stamper release. I have always really liked nutcrackers and decorate using several of them of different sizes around the holidays. This die set has so many options for making lots of different ones!

If you are interested in seeing this die set or all of the other great holiday ones from Frantic Stamper, you can click here! The name of this die set is simply called Nutcracker and it's code number is FRA-DIE-10902.

I plan on using this as part of my holiday decor this year. I hope you like it as much as I do. 😊

Hello everyone! I've got another cute holiday card to share with you today. There's nothing like cookies and milk.... and Santa thinks so too! 😁

I used just two sets of dies here, both from Frantic Stamper!

Hello again. Back to show you a Christmas card I made with a nice country look to it.

Here's what it takes...  :)

Frantic Stamper - Country Christmas Tree die (FRA-DIE-10897)

Frantic Stamper - Make -A- Frame die (FRA-DIE-10895)

SU - More Mustard, Always Artichoke, and Very Vanilla card stock

Kaiser Craft - Christmas Carol Collection DP

Tim Holtz Distress Inks

Ribbon

I'm still practicing using my blending brushes with distress inks. I really like the soft look it gives when blending.

TRICK OR TREAT

As soon as I saw my package of the new October Frantic Stamper release that was sent to the Design Team, I knew it was also going to be used for my Halloween card that I send out yearly to my family. Trick or Treating is one of my favorite memories with my brothers and sisters growing up. We had so much fun and looked forward to it all year long! 

In making my 5"x5" card, I used SU Only Orange and Basic Black card stock.

A Piece of DP from my Halloween paper stash and a piece of 3/8" Halloween ribbon. Various colors of Copics were used to color all of the little candy pieces.

Frantic Stamper Dies (FRA-DIE-10883) Halloween Candy Bucket and (FRA-DIE-10684) Reverse Cut Halloween Words were the main dies used.

        HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

BEWARE!

I'm back with another fun Halloween card made with more of the Frantic Stamper dies from their August release.

I used the FRA-DIE-10884 Cupcake & Halloween Toppers #1, FRA-DIE-09234 Scary Words and FRA-DIE-10752 Tri-Panel Card Base die from a previous release. The Tri-Panel Card Base die is one of my favorite dies now! I use it often for lots of different cards. The card stock used are all from Stampin UP! Elegant Eggplant, Pumpkin Pie, Old Olive. The background was done using several colors of Gina K Design inks along with blending brushes. I like how it came out.

Halloween will be here before we know it. Here's a couple of Halloween cards I've made using some new dies from Frantic Stamper!

The card on the left was made using the Little Reaper die (FRA-DIE-10886). I took a black fine tip marker and drew on his teeth. Also used were Scary Words (FRA-DIE-09234) and the little headstone with the bats from the Cupcake & Halloween Toppers #2 die set (FRA-DIE-10885).

The card on the right was made using an awesome Spider Web Stitched Background (FRA-DIE-10882), Spooky Spider (FRA-DIE-09943) and the word from Scary Words (FRA-DIE-09234).  To make the spider web nice and dark, I inked the die with black ink before running it through my Big Shot. 

I just love making and receiving Halloween cards!

Hi everyone!

I'm here with another Halloween project I've created using the Frantic Stamper August release. As many of you know, I love Halloween and other things that the Autumn season brings.  As much as I enjoy making cards, I also like to turn my creative ideas into small gifts and other small items using stamps and dies.  Here is a shelf sitter I made for my craft room shelf.  Many of you know that I removed my red rubber stamps from their wood blocks (seen in a previous posting) I saved many of the wood blocks knowing that somewhere along the line I would find things to use them for. This wood block was one that I saved and repurposed with this project.

What I used to make my shelf sitter...

BLUE JEAN BUDDIES

I'm back again with another Createful Heart Design card made for August. This image is called Blue Jean Buddies and can be found here https://marketplace.zibbet.com/createful-heart-design/blue-jean-buddies-digital-stamp.  Besides the digital image, I used Copics for the coloring, and some Kraft, Night of Navy, and Whisper White card stock. The sentiment is by Penny Black called Girlfriends. To add a finishing touch, I just added a yellow adhesive dot! 

This card was made for a very dear friend who is like a sister. I haven't seen her in such a long time and really do miss her. I'm pretty sure she'll like this card I made for her.

ASIAN CARD

I think Asian cards are just beautiful and I love to make them as well as receive them. Over at Sassy Stampers, they hosted a swap this month on making an Asian card. I joined the swap, and this is the card I came up with.

It was an easy card to make and I do like how it came out. I love this image made by Inkadinkadoo. These are the rest of the products used to make it.

This card is my "summer card" that was made for my two sisters and a friend, Nancy, who lives in the sunshine state. I think it's a perfect card for summer with the little pineapple DP. Perhaps there's a pina colada in that little coconut or maybe some cold pineapple juice?  :)
