Love You

Happy Saturday!

It's the end of January in northeastern Ohio 

and the sun is shinning and it's 42 degrees out....I love it, but it is SO not normal!

Anyway, on with  the card I would like to share with you today.

 

 

 

I'm entering it in CAS(E) This Sketch.

 

 

 and  Color Throwdown 

 

Here's the supplies I used:

 See the size difference between the "you" die cut ( black you)

and the one I used on the card?

I used the white foam sheet to die cut a "you" and then held it with tweezers 

as I heated it with the heat gun ....like magic it shrunk!  Then I colored it with copics.

Thanks for stopping by today.

'till next time,

YETI

Red

Hi!

Today it is my turn to host the challenge for Addicted to Clean and Simple.

Our sponsor  for this challenge is:

  HAPPY LITTLE STAMPERS

I hope you can play along with us.

The prize is a  $15 gift certificate to the HLS Shop!


I'd also like to welcome Ardyth Percy-Robb as our Guest Designer .

For this challenge 

I chose the Code Word Red.

 

As you can see,  I used red ink on a really old (2008) The Cat's Pajamas clear stamp 

and now it is permanently stained red but it doesn't effect how it stamps .

The tiny red star jewels are also from the depths of my stash...

it does feel good to use some of this old stuff so I can buy more! lol 

I hope you'll try your hand at making a red card!

'till next time,

Doni

Happy Friday!

Every once and awhile it's fun to do something totally out of your comfort zone.

 

I'm doing that today by playing along with Splitcoast Stampers mix-ability challenge.

Card recipe:

Black card base

Cream cardstock

MFT Die-Namics Blueprint #13

Black cardstock

Memory Box stitched rectangles

Memory Box die- Branching out

3-D Molding Paste

Here's a picture showing how I made the small panel background:

OK..that was fun!  

I hope you'll find time to try something new.

Lazy Cat

Hello!

Check out this week's Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge.

They would like us to create with critters.

Here are my two critters - Bitsy on the left and Gracie on the right.

1. 

Both of the critters are extremely lazy, so here's the card in their honor:

 

I used a Art Impressions stamp and colored it with copic markers. 

Hope this brought a smile to your face!

Cake

Hello!

Today we have a new Challenge over at Addicted to Clean and Simple.

Challenge  #79 is hosted by  Jaydee.

The code word is CAKE.

 This was a fun card to make.

I used the Art Impressions stamp called Deep Breath Birthday.

 

I just wanted the cake, so I masked off the cute fish.

The word celebrate is a Paper Smooches stamp which I embossed in black .

The picture makes it look like it has little white dots in it...but that's just the light reflection.

I colored the cake with Copic Markers 

and then stamped and cut out  another cake to use as a mask.

By using the mask over the cake I was able to lightly sponge the background

using Tim Holtz distress ink (spun sugar).

I wanted a little bit of sparkle, but the sequins looked too big,

so I used the glue pen and made some tiny dots and then sprinkled 

pink glitter ( Doodlebug sugar coating).

I hope you like it.

the inside of the card says:

everyone knows that Birthday cake calories don't count! 

 I hope you will play along with this challenge.

'till next time,

Doni
