Snow Friends

Snow Friends...

It's that time of the year... Wow, where did Nov fly off too.  Hope you are all having a wonderful holiday season.  I've been busy with Ozzy and he is getting big and learning fast.  

In between time that's left for myself, I've started creating my Christmas cards.  Pictures down below... here are the list of things I used for the cards...

Tim Holtz's new 3D Embossing folder that just arrived.

Brutus Monroe Stamps - Snow Friends

Glitter and acetate and cs  I die cut the snowflake banner with Glitter cs. Used Staz on ink to stamp the greeting on the acetate, this way you can still see the pretty background. :)  I thought of the acetate and thought it would be a great idea. :) 

     I will be making different ones as well, I get bored making all the same.  So stay tuned and thanks for looking.  Leave a comment if you like.  Happy Holidays Everyone..

It's Fall...

I made this after a messy Monday Morning...grrr😖😖😖  I made the background with Darice fall embossing folder, and #brutusmonroe #aquapigment #watercolor #sparklecardstock Brutus Monroe (glitter cs) on the #pumpkins Pumpkins is from the #TimHoltz #sidedies Leafs are made from pop cans.  The stamp is Brutus Monroe #autumnsunrise stamp set.  And the inside of the card is the same stamp set "Aurumn Sunrise"

Fall Ya All...

Made thisMade this today...I got some #brutusmonroe #aquapigmentinks and some marbles and ballbearings,rolled them around in the aqua pigments and then on watercolor paper. Rubberstamp is stamped in Maple Surface Ink ( brutus monroe) used some flat back Pearl's and other embellishments.

Fall Is Here... woohoo!!!!

Happy Fall/ Autumn Everyone...

It's been a while since I've posted, but thought I would.  A lot has and had happened over the months.
My Chloe (golden retriever) is no longer with me, we had to put her to sleep in April on the 21st 2018, she was 13 yrs old. Miss her.

I debated weather to get another dog, i thought  of my age and yada yada... but a House is not a home (I think) without a fur baby.  I wanted something small that we could handle and be a lot easier for us... I was looking for a #morkie  and we would go and look in Harbor Pets (first time for us) and on July 21 2018... There he was...

We named him Ozzy Shaggy Moore... lol  He was born on April 21,2018 was only 3 months old.  and about 4lbs...lol  Ozzy is now 5 1/2 months and weighs 6.7lbs. He is such a joy!!!   Ozzy has been keeping me pretty busy.  

I finally got to do some creating as well in between Ozzy sleeping, I forgot how much time it takes and train a new fur baby...lol
Fall is here and I do love to create with my leaf stamps.  So go here a few cards that I created and made.... the leaf diecuts are unbranded dies that I bought last year online over on E bay... they are made in China.... hey, like everything else is right...lol
I used the new Lift Ink and Yupo paper and the other cardstock is from The Paper Cut along with Alcohol inks... and dollar tree rafia for an embellishment. 

Some other pictures of Ozzy... Have a Good Fall/Autumn Season...

LIFT INK...

I just got this in the mail on Friday and I couldn't wait to play with it.... Tim Holtz products are the bomb... This brings Alcohol stamping to a whole new level. #woohoo 
Go over to YouYube and find Tim's video on Lift Ink. He explains it and also demos on how to's.  You can't go wrong with Tim :)

I hope you enjoy his video as much as I do and love his products. :)

Here goes a card I created last night, I am going to be playing more this weekend with Lift Ink...

Wendy Vecchi Stamps...

Here goes a stamp set of Wendy Vecchi's that I bought at the Adventures In Stamping in April 2018..  I also took her class while there at the convention in April 2018... I just had a blast and she is so talented and sweet... Love her inspiration... I will also post the cards we made in her class too... But, this top card is what I made when I arrived home after the convention with one of her new stamp sets "A Bunch Of Art", I bought a few more stamp sets at the Stampers Anonymous booth too... Hell, I bought a lot there at the convention...lol   

 The second one here I #doubledembossed the background with two embossing folders and also used #wendyvecchi brick stencil in the background.  I wanted the background to look as if the vines and leaves are crawling on the brick wall.  These two stamps and are in the "A Bunch Of Art" stamp set along with her stencils to match up with the stamps.  I also used her new Blendable Inks.

These next three cards I made with the Owls were a kit that I bought from the convention in April of 2018 in Akron, I love the glittery background and how it showed through from behind and captured the owls...  So cute...

Thanks for stopping by, I know, haven't been here for a long long time, I'm trying to get back into blogging again.  Have a Creative Day... 

Happy Fall Everyone..

Wow, it's been a while since I've posted or even been here on my blog.  "Life" and then I think there is no one really reading blogs anymore.  But I'm going to try and post here even if I don't have much to say and start posting what I've made and created again.  I haven't done a video in a while either, I'm hoping I'll get  a chance to do videos again too, 

This is what I've worked on lately... Love Fall/Autumn time of the year and love the colors of the leaves, the smells and sounds... like when the neighbors first turn on their furnaces for the first time in the evening when there is a nip or a chill in the air.  The walking outside and crunching the leaves under your feet and hearing nothing but silence during the day cause all the kids are at school. LOL
Putting a blanket on at night but still having my sliding door open in my bedroom to feel the crisp air and the breezes.

Anywho... here goes a card that I've worked on...I used the #polishedstonetechnique on the leaves....

Happy New Year...And Happy New Products coming in 2017....

Stamp Platform... I can't wait to get mine, and so glad I didn't pay an arm and leg for that misti, this looks sooooo much better and well built.  Hey, if Tim invented Stamp Platform, I do trust it's quality is top notch.  

I pre-ordered mine over at Marco Paper... here goes the link to Marco's... Click on link below..

Marco Paper

I got free shipping and handling and also 20% off all pre-ordered things at Marco's.  I only paid $31.99.  Can't beat that, and if the Stamp Platform is 2lbs... wow!! The free Shipping and Handling is a bonus.  Love Marco's.

I also pre-ordered some of Tim's other goodies that will be coming out over the months... Espcially the "Hipster" stamps... Love them.  Thanks for stopping by and Happy New Year and Happy Creating!!! :-] 

It's That Time...

It's That Time of The Year...

I made this card with the Crazy Bird stamps and used letter stickers for the wording...And stamp and embossed the candy corn background and used Stitched die on the card.....

Fall Art

Fall Art... Card and Mail Art....

I love Fall and the colors.  Can't wait for the cooler temperatures too.  This summer has been a hot one here in NW Pa.  I decided to pull out some glossy cs and alcohol inks and black embossing powder along with Dreamweaver's stencil dies.  I love how you can use the negative and also the positive letters.  I used the negative part to spell out Fall on the card.  Enjoy...

 I used some stamps and embossing and also paints and some gold embossing paste on the mail art envy.
