I am trying to get caught up in the calendar cat pictures. This month features Dora trying to be "Mom's Little Helper" as I sort out some stamps. I started with a Bazzill cardstock base, then added some DP and cut the one edge with an EK border punch. I added a couple punched flowers and ferns for accent. A very summery looking month!
If you're on the East coast like I am, this is probably not the best weekend to fly a kite! Unless you want to lose it and have it end up in Canada! This card was made with a Pure Innocence set from My Favorite Things, along with a kite, clouds and scallop border die, also from MFT. I paper-pieced the dress with a small plaid cardstock, colored the sleeves and dress trim with a matching Copic marker. The kite string is from the Sew Easy collection from We R Memory Keepers. Add some ribbon and fancy paper and you have a fun card!
I know, I missed July last month, but little Bucle was very upset that one of her best months did not make the blog, so I assured her that I would get it online. This was a fun month to do. I started by making a red and white striped background with Bazzill Swiss Dots cardstock, then cut the picture of Bucle out with a Spellbinders star die and made a couple layers before layering it to the calendar page. After putting the picture and the calendar on the page, I added a couple extra gold stars.
This is the 3rd card I made with the posies images from Outlines Rubber Stamps. To make this card, I stamped and colored the image, then free-hand cut around the top of the flowers with a pair of scissors. I layered this to a green Bazzill a little larger than the white cardstock and trimmer the green around the top edge, as well. I wrapped a pink bow around the bottom of the design, then layered the piece to a BoBunny double-dot cardstock in green. The dotted cardstock really creates a nice background with being too much. I stamped the birthday words up at the top and added a couple more layers. This would also be a good card to have in the drawer without any sentiment and add what you need for a specific event! I know, we all say we're going to create those cards and never get around to it!
I know, we're not even over with summer and I am showing a holiday card! I fell in love with this little Christmas tree car stamp from the new Hero Arts collection. I stamped the image with black Momento ink and colored it with Copic markers. I cut out the image and created a "road" with a couple layers of Bazzill cardstock - trimmed with an EK Success border punch. I layered that to a green Bazzill Swiss Dots cardstock and punched 4 small white snowflakes (one for each corner) and added a little red pearl to the center. I opted to layer the car to the left side of the card and add the words to the lower right corner for some balance.
I love this image of Tilda flying a kite - though I think that the kite seems a little small. I stamped Tilda on white cardstock with black Momento ink and colored her with Copic markers. I added a couple swirls from an Imaginations clear set to the edges of the oval and then added a little color with a Ranger Distress ink pad. The kite was cut-out separately and colored with Copics, as well. The card is layered with a printed cardstock and some extra cardstock, cut with an EK Success edger punch. Everything layered up and a few flowers made from punches and attached to the edge of the oval. The kite is attached with foam tape.
