More Friends Like You

 Well, well, I've showed up again!  lol

Life has been turned upside down for me, in more than one way.  On the other hand, I am really trying to have a concerted effort of making cards...  well, I figured that I can color while football is on, yes I love NFL; but the making of the images into cards I haven't quite gotten into a rhythm yet.  ...but I'm trying!

This one goes to a special lady for a Birthday, yes you know who you are!

A new embossing folder, inspired by a friend, with a "twist" of a frame, half vellum/half cardstock, and the focal image popped up over that.  I got this sweetie this past Summer but just didn't get around to her.  She was colored, WoS on the wings and a sentiment added below in layers of complimentary colors.  Here's her sparkle ~

Yep, wings and sparkle, just like the recipient!

I tucked in a few fun things, and now we'll wait and see what she creates.

Supplies:

   SBella - Whimsabella Meadowmirth (NBUS)

   PFS - Dotted Fancy Frame

   MFT - Anything but Basic Friendship

   Splb - Ode To A Poet e/f

That's it for me, I hope you have a marvelous weekend!

Hugs,

Holiday Hide & Peek

 Hello and welcome!

Today I've made it back to get a few cards made and posted, the coloring was already done, so I'll get to it!

This set is new (NBUS) but I'll also be joining a few other challenges along the way.

First ~

Copic-colored, die cut and placed with a few others, using matching papers and cs, this one will be playing at NBUS #92 and Peace On Earth #123, where I see couple of snowmen in the inspiration.

 

the second image in this set ~

Copic-colored, torn Unity's dsp, torn matching cs and the die cuts all placed on the background.  This one will visit Color Hues #144 - Red & Green.  Yes, the dsp is dark forest green.

And the third image ~

Copic-colored, die cut with a newer Tag/Banner set and placed over a sheet of Unity's freebie dsp, which I LOVE (from a recent purchase).  While I do have layers, they were kept minimal with gluing them as flat as possible.  This will go to BYSHC #75, turning their sketch on its side and CAS Christmas - Reindeer.  Now, if I get kicked out of CAS Christmas.... I'm okay with getting carried away on this card,  😂  All I can say is, I tried!

Supplies:

   All - Unity Holiday Hide & Peek (NBUS)

   Card #1 -  UN Perfectly Layered Tags; scrap dsp; HA Infinity Circles; PFS Essential Mini SL Frames

   Card #2 - UN Nature's Noel dsp (also NBUS); PFS Essential Mini SL Frames

   Card #3 - UN freebie dsp (also NBUS), Scallop & Banner dies

 Well that's it for me today.  Back to football, which means more coloring - yay!  I hope to be back soon with more cards, although there's a LOT going on with Mom right now.

Thanks for the visit, and have a wonderful start to a new week!

Hugs,

Making the Season Bright

Howdy!

Today I've got a card that completes the use of the entire set Mouse On a Merry Mission by Unity.  I'll repost the other two below, just to refresh your memory -- NOT that you need it, I do...

This little guy was colored with Copics while on vacation, along with a few different images to come later.  Today, I got to cut him down with a die, stenciled a background for him, added a few gold pen details and popped him onto a panel of fancy cut dsp.  I have a large cutter, that has a guillotine side and a round blade side, which came with 6 different blades for different effects.  Today, I used one of those extra blades ~

Doesn't he look like he's getting ready for the special delivery of all his presents?

You might see some of the gold accents below ~

This guy will be heading to Peace On Earth #122 - Christmas (you know, that Special Delivery).

Here's the other two images in the set ~

 

Supplies:

   UN - Mouse On A Merry Mission stamp, Whit Kit Fall Watercolor 9/24 dsp, Grunge Cuts die 

   SSS - Gingham stencil

That's it for me today, but hopefully it won't be long before the next post!  I've gotta get on the bandwagon and get those Christmas cards done!!!

Have a great day!

Creepy Peekie Tags

 Hello!

Okay, it's not a card but I had fun with these.  To be honest, I'm not a fan of Halloween, but I found these to be too cute to pass up!  But since we don't celebrate it...?  Well, my eldest daughter is a school teacher, whose children do, and they'll be put into her basket of "way to go's" so the kids can choose if they want a bookmark or tag!

Cute, right?  These were Copic-colored, cut down with an OLD two layered die set and everything put together.   I did glue the top portion (down to a score line) to a second layer of dsp, which matches this set well.  While you can't see it, the kids will be able to open it and look at the fun paper behind, plus allows it to sandwich the page in.  Because all but the tags are getting their first outing, I'll be sending this to NBUS Challenge #91.

Supplies:

   UN - Creepy Peekies stamps, Heebie Jeebie dsp, Scallops & Banners dies for the sentiments (all NBUS)

   MFT - Fold  Up Tags

That's it for me today, I hope you enjoyed the tags!  I'll be back to my usual craft room soon and hope to be playing catch up with my Christmas cards!

Thanks SO much for the visit and generously kind words you guys all leave, which are very uplifting!

Hugs,

Dragonfly Wishes

 Today's card started with gifts from a friend!

I received these beautiful dragonflies tucked into a Birthday card sent to me over a month ago, and I unfortunately hadn't used them until today.  An embossed panel, a pretty die cut piece of vellum, with a matching small die cut panel in silver glitter, all as a pretty base.  I think took my 3 large dragonflies and ink blended with a few colors and glued everything together with a pre-foiled sentiment ephemera.  

Then, a spark hit to go in a different direction, but I had already used my dragonflies - gasp!  Not to worry, as soon as I received these beauties, I found the die and it fell into my basket.  Then came this card ~

Ahhh, I like the glittery frame even better, but I realized that these dragonflies were smaller and the wing details different -- urgh!  A different embossed base, a pretty glitter frame, a heat embossed sentiment and ta-da!  Here's a photo of the two different dragonflies ~

However, with this picture I realized that the second card looked a little bare so I decided to go white-on-white with some pretty blooms.  Once finished, this one went to my daughter for her 40th Birthday party!  Here's a fresh look ~

Better?  I think so!  This one will also go to NBUS #91.
