I'll be back with more....

Have many more samples to post.  Was busy creating even if I couldn't get them uploaded.  My girls have asked for 'oodles' of graduation cards for their seniors.  Alas I just sent off two packages without scanning first.  Will try to scan the rest as I complete them.  Will deliver a large number of cards to the girls when we go back in May/June.

Purple Flowers

This fun card was created using Rubbernecker Wildflowers stamp.  First the purple paper was run through the Big Shot using Sizzix Powdered Sugar Embossing Folder.  The flowers were stamped onto the white paper and colored with Copics.  The edges were inked to make it less stark, and it was mounted flush (no dimensionals) onto the card.  The flowers were stamped a second time onto scraps, colored and cut out.  OK, I didn't really cut them all out.  Many of them were very close to a circle punch size, 1/2", 7/8" etc.  Then I just had to make a few snips here and there.  So much easier than fussy cutting everything by hand. The top flowers were affixed with dimensionals.  Different size "Diamonds" were colored with the copics to get the desired color and affixed to the flower centers.  This is a CASE of a Kittie Caracciolo creation.  She is so very talented.  This card is elegant and dramatic IRL.

Watercolor Minis

This card is so soft and pastel that it does not show up extremely well.  The stamp set is SU Water Color Minis.  The branches are double stamped, in both Pink & Green.  The first stamping is full of ink, then you quickly stamp a second time.  The fact that there is so little ink on the stamp, makes it look even softer, almost faded, and gives it a little depth.  A spot has been left blank for a Greeting or Sentiment.  The soft pink butterflies are made using the SU sizzlit, which automatically cuts and embosses a pattern onto the butterfly.  It has 5 or 6 sizes available on one sizzlit and each has a slightly different shape and pattern.  The sentiment area has been edged with a softer green, using a border punch from SU.  Glitter glue was placed lightly over the pink stems.  Tiny pearls on the butterflies finish the card.  A delicate, pretty card.

Wreath Card

Thank you to those of you who wrote and told me it would work with a different server.  I loaded up Firefox and so far it seems good.  We made these dainty Wreath Cards using the Memory Box Breezy Wreath die.  Cut several and overlap them.  We punched the tiny flowers, 'cupped' them with our embossing stylus over a mouse pad, and put them on with dimensionals.  A delicate ribbon and tiny butterfly complete this fun project.  Enjoy!

It isn't me...

Still trying to add pictures of my creations and been all over blog support etc.  Finally located a forum issue that said that yes, this is a problem, they know about it and are working on it with no idea of resolution timing.  At least it wasn't just me not knowing what to do LOL.

I'll come back to blogging when it is fixed.  In the meantime, I keep creating.

Have a good day

I give up....

I have oodles and bunches of creations to post, but can not figure out how to get them onto the 'new, improved' blogger format nor can I find a Blogger Help.  So, until I can figure these things out, don't be looking for any further posts from me - she says sadly.  This has been so much fun but.....

Christmas Stampscape Class

Have been trying to get into this class for the past two years.  So happy I finally got in, now I just have to put what I learned to good use.  These are the three cards that we made in class.  I especially like the ornament shape cut-out.  Bought 2 sets of ornament Dies last year and don't think any are this big.  Pretty simple really.  Use your BigShot & your Die to cut the desired shape into your basic card stock.  Using the shape as a guide, build your scene on glossy paper.  Color it with Memento, and/or Markers.  Add little embellishments such as the bow, ribbon, angel or presents and mount onto cardstocks.  Ken is a great teacher and works magic with the scenescape stamps.
