Dancing Snowman

     Well, this was supposed to go live at 6:00 this morning but something happened with the pre-scheduling.  No matter, here it is now.

     This morning, I'm sharing with you a delightful, new-to-me, Dancing Snowman (From the Heart Stamps) and now I have a second Christmas card in the stash.  I've discovered I'm going to have to make 2 to 3 per week for the rest of the year in order to have enough for my Christmas needs.

I started with the sketch found at From the Heart Stamps.

     The snowman is colored with ProMarkers with spattered watercolors coloring the sky, then it's die cut with a stitched circle die from Die-namics.  I also cut the frame with a larger die from that same set.  I repeated that process with the sentiment.  I found that lovely pale blue, polka dot paper in my stash (how old?  who knows!) which worked for a snowflake background, then added strips of CS and the bow.  Fast, clean, simple and into the Christmas stash for one of the many guys in my family.  :-D

One More Scoop

     When it comes to ice cream, I admit that I love it -- any flavor, any time of year, with any kind of added goodies.  Unfortunately, it's now banned from the list of things I get to enjoy because of my diet-controlled Type 2 diabetes.  And I do miss it, especially in heat wave weather like we've had for more than a week now.  But that doesn't mean I can't enjoy images of its cool sweetness on my cards.  :-D

Since the image is the freebie at From the Heart Stamps

I used the sketch from the challenge there also.

     The image is colored with ProMarkers, die cut with a die from Spellbinders, and I used chalk to highlight the embossing on the die cut.  I added a circular mat, also cut with a die from Spellbinders, and matted that with black card stock, fussy cut into a circle.

     The papers are scraps which originally came from Authentique.  I embellished the card with a bow, a layered flower with a brad and a pearl - chalked to give it a touch of color, and a bow with a pearl.  Finally, I added a trio of pearls to the upper corner.  The sentiment is part of the image set, printed, hand cut and matted, then hand cut again.

Big Birthday Celebration!

     This card is specifically for a dear friend who turned 81 today.  Happy Birthday, Don. :-D  I hope I'm as active and energetic when I get to that age.  Not that I'm decades away from it, mind you, but not there yet!

I did a different take on the sketch at From the Heart Stamps,

using feathers to replace the long, vertical strips,

 and I used colors in the top row of the Color Bingo

 at Creative Corner.

    

     I used my ProMarkers to color the chicks, then cut and matted the image (which happens to be a From the Heart Stamps image, as is the sentiment.)  I mounted that piece onto a cream -colored, confetti CS base before adding the ribbon and the feathers.  I found a tiny, glittered flower and added a small, golden, Dew Drop to it.

     I love using feathers on cards but forget about reaching for them most of the time.  Maybe I need to change where I store them.  I'm sure it's the old "out of sight, out of mind" thing.

Life at the Beach

     Early last month I used this beach pail image (From the Heart Stamps) because the weather had turned hot, hit the high-90 degrees, and I thought something from the beach might make it seem a bit cooler.  It didn't.  Last time, I did the whole card including the image in all black and white for a monochromatic effect.  This time I colored it and did a 'cool blue' palette.

I started with the sketch at I {heart} Sketches.

     I used ProMarkers to color and, since the optional twist is to fussy cut the image, I die cut the bottom half and fussy cut the top half of the image.  I adhered the image so that I could get an out-of-the-box effect.  The stitched die is from Memory Box and the plain circle dies used to cut the mats are from QuicKutz.

     All the papers were in my scrap basket, including the navy blue for matting the rectangles.  They were all waiting for me to find an excuse to use them.  With all those layers, I decided that a simple bow made from burlap ribbon would be enough embellishment.

Wine and Age

     The sentiment on this card says it all and now I have one more birthday card in my stash.  I can't say who'll get this one because some people in my circle of friends and family read my blog and I certainly don't want to give it away.  :-D

The image, sentiment, and sketch are by From the Heart Stamps.

There's a twist with this sketch -"Crop the Digi" - which I did.

     I used my ProMarkers to color the inside circle of the image, leaving the outer circle in black and white.  I used two of my Die-Namics stitched circle dies to cut the image.  The sentiment is cut with with a square die from my Spellbinders collection.  The papers were scraps in my stash and the sheer ribbon I used was also a scrap.  I love the color and texture of it so much, I simply couldn't throw it out so found a way to use it.  :-D

Birdbrain Graduation

     Yesterday I shared a graduation card with you that I had done either for my granddaughter or her best friend.  Today, I'm sharing the second of those two cards and I still haven't decided who's going to get which one.  :-D  This one has an image by From the Heart Stamps and I'm also using the sketch from their challenge.

     I colored the image with ProMarkers, then die cut it with a stitched circle die from Memory Box.  I layered that onto black CS.  The sentiment is printed, hand cut, and matted with a scrap of that same black CS.  Since their school colors are blue and gold, I tried to keep to that color combo when designing the card.

     The dp is from my scrap basket.  I love that kind of argyle-plaid paper and I've used every single bit of it rather than throw away any of it.  I still have one full sheet of it left but hesitate to cut into it because I just love it so much.   It must be the geometric pattern -- those are always among my favorites because they work so well for masculine but also for girl cards.

     The stitched ribbon is the last bit of one-yard sample I had in my stash.  I added the yellow ribbon flower and the 3D grad hat for embellishment.

PigWit in a Planter

     It's a new month and I went on a shopping spree at From the Heart Stamps.  I snapped up this darling set "Hamlet PigWit in the Planter" the instant I saw it (and then found out an hour later that it was the Progressive Challenge freebie for this month and I would have gotten it anyway! lol)

I also chose to use the sketch at From the Heart Stamps

but I added the lace and flower embellies along the side.

     I colored with ProMarkers, aiming for a lilac/lavender monochrome combo, and then cut the image with a stitched scalloped circle die from Memory Box.  I did an out-of-the-box technique with the sentiment and bottom portion of the image.   I merged the sentiment with the image before printing, using PhotoShop.

     The background squares are cut from ombre scrapbooking paper and those pieces all came from the same sheet.  I mounted everything onto CS and put that onto a kraft card base.  I added embellishments of  lilac satin ribbon and white lace, plus mulberry flowers with white or purple pearls in the centers.

Friends as Blessings

     A dear blogging buddy included me in a list of friends she believes have been instrumental in support and inspiration, and I felt so honored by that.  Today's card was made as a way of giving back to her the honor she bestowed.  She was the primary person who encouraged me to continue my journey into card making back in the days when I was learning the most basic things about card designs.  It's also because of her that I started blogging and she's the lady who has made all my blog mastheads with the adorable felines.  Thanks so much, Donna!  This card should be in your real life mailbox in just a few days.

The digi image is by From the Heart Stamps

and I used their latest sketch and their twist of

'Use a Die Cut.'

     I used my ProMarkers to color the image and decided I wanted to stay with a monochromatic yellow combo in my overall design.  The image and the mat are both die cut but since the die is  rectangle in shape, I had to cut once then move the die and cut a second time to get the square shape.

     I dug through my box of scraps and found 2 papers very close in color, even though one is a marbled design and the other very flowery.  They must have come from the same paper stack originally, but I have no way of knowing since they were just small pieces in the scrap pile.  I die cut one of the strips using that same die set.  I decided to try putting everything onto a black card base and I really like how it made all the yellows pop.  The sentiment is also from one of my From the Heart Stamps sets and I corner punched it before adhering it onto the dove-tail strip.

     I tied the bow with black satin ribbon and added a glittery flower and a rhinestone to one of the flowers in the image.  Oh, yes, I embellished with faux stitching, too.  :-D

Beach Pail

     This is a From the Heart Stamps image which I've had for a while and never used.  Since it hit the low 90s here today, I'm thinking of summer travel to the beaches and playing in the sand.  That song, "Summertime, ... and the livin' is easy ..." is running through my head.  :-D

This is the sketch I used, adjusted for a horizontal card

 instead of a vertical one - From the Heart Stamps.

     I colored the sky, water, and sand with my ProMarkers and was about to start on the pail when I realized how much I liked it as a black and white line drawing.  That led me to think about doing the card in all black and white and that's the end result.  Die cuts by Spellbinders, embossing with a Cuttlebug folder, and bow done with striped ribbon from my stash.

What Really Matters

     I've been playing in the From the Heart Progressive Challenge for a few months now and for today's card, I used the April image.  I love that sentiment (which is part of the set.)

I took my colors from the challenge at Two Paper Divas.

     This is one more card which uses up scraps that were in the basket.  I used my ProMarkers to color the image and cut it with oval dies by QuicKutz.  The sentiment piece is cut with a Stitched Square die from Memory Box and the swirl is a Cheery Lynn corner die, with one side of the corner trimmed off.

     The background piece has been dry embossed and all three ribbons came from the scrap bin.

     I love making spring cards in April.  There's just something about the month that says the house and garden should both be filled with flowers and I love cards with flower images.  If you don't believe that, just check out my posts this upcoming week.  :-D

Sunbathing?

     I don't know how many of you really expect to sunbathe in April but it sure isn't happening in most of the country out my way.  I love this Birdbrain image by From the Heart Stamps and I followed their latest sketch to make the card.

     I used my ProMarkers to color the image but instead of die cutting it as I usually do, I used a leftover negative from a Cheery Lynn doily die to make the curved piece.  That's layered on top of the image piece.  I also die cut some clouds (Memory Box) and then added gingham dp.  Those all came from the scrapbox on my table.  The ribbon is white satin from my stash and I made the bow using that same ribbon.

Spring Birthday Greetings

     Really quick post this morning because I'm running waaay behind on things I have to do.  It's a birthday card for a kid who adores animals.  Inside it says, "Make a wish and get the party going!"

Image and sketch From the Heart Stamps.

     Colored with ProMarkers (my favorite way to color), die cut and matted (Spellbinders), glitter added to all flower centers, including the punched embellishment flower from my stash.  Leaves are cut with a Cheery Lynn die and the papers are all from Paper House.

Canine Style Gardening

     My card today is for a gardening friend of mine who also happens to be a dog lover extraordinaire.  The image is the monthly progressive challenge freebie at From the Heart Stamps and the sketch is also from one of their challenges.

Here's the sketch.

     I colored with my ProMarkers and then dug through the scrap pile to find the CS and the ribbon.  The pawprint is a stamp from Sweet Stamps.  The sentiment is mine, printed with a computer font and fussy cut.

     Last year I had my garden in and had sprouts a few inches high by now, but I don't know if I'll get to making a garden this year.  I'm just so far behind on everything and it doesn't look like planting is going to work its way into my schedule any time soon.  Sigh, I will miss the fresh veggies all summer long. :-(  Oh, well, Happy Stamping.  NanaConnie

Blue Valentine

     I wanted to try something a bit different today so I made a card that focuses on Love but did it all in wintery blues.  What do you think?

I used both an image (Stamp of the Month) 

and a sketch from the challenges at

From the Heart Stamps.

     I printed the image and the "Stay Warm..." sentiment at that same time, then colored the image with ProMarkers; cut and then matted it twice.  The layered hearts were die cut with my newest die set from Lawn Fawn, then stacked up on top of each other to make the two hearts.  The "Love" sentiment is also a die cut (Sizzix.)

     I added glitter (which barely shows in the photo) to the snowflakes, the tassel on his hat, the top layer of the hearts, and his eyes.  IRL, it's very sparkly.  :-D  I decided that was enough embellishment and kept it pretty CAS.

Bean Counters

     The Friday challenge over at The Outlawz has changed and is now a "Festive Friday" challenge.  Each week, four silly 'festivities' are chosen and you can use any one of them as the theme for your card.  This week the four things are:  Bean Day, Bird Day, Bubble Bath Day, and Polar Bear Plunge Day.  I chose this fun image by From the Heart Stamps because I could cover two of the four festive days.  :-D

I also used the sketch from The Outlawz.

Of course, I had to modify it for the shape of my image piece.

     I colored with my ProMarkers and added the sentiment.  I die cut it with one of my dies from Spellbinders.  I matted it with CS and rounded the corners with a punch.  Both ribbons are from Really Reasonable Ribbon and the flower is from a new batch of white flowers I got from Santa.  Pretty fast and simple.

Cozy Kittens

     I'm sure I don't have to tell you how much I adore animal images, especially felines,  :-D  When I saw this freebie from the Stamp of the Month Challenge at From the Heart, I fell in love.  It went right to the top of my priority list.

I based my card on the sketch at I {heart} Sketches

although this time I didn't use the twist.

     I used ProMarkers to color the image and die cut it using a die from Spellbinders.  The blue mat was cut with the same die and I used an embossing folder on it for the Swiss Dots.  I cut the sentiment and its mat with one of my oldest die sets,  In fact, I think those circle dies were the first ones I ever owned.   I embossed the mat for it also.

     The two ribbons are from Really Reasonable Ribbon (both of them new!) and the purple dp came from Paper Studio (also new.)  I left it pretty CAS so that it would work for either a gal or a guy.

Oh, Christmas Tree(s)

     Two quick and related cards today.  The first one has a digi image that I got at From the Heart Stamps and the second is done with a simple Christmas Postage punch (maker unknown) and die cuts.

      I used ProMarkers to color the green portions of the trees, then added some sparkly texture paste to them.  I used a die set from Spellbinders to cut the image and inlaid it into another die cut.  The sentiment is also cut with that same set and inlaid into a larger cut.  The silver trees were stamped onto acetate, heat embossed with silver EP, and peeled off.  I added a bit of color to the baubles with ProMarkers.

Stay Warm, My Friend

     I think one of the best ways to stay warm and cozy in cold weather is through the magic of friendship.  When the heart is warmed with the love of friends, the whole world seems cozier.  I think this delightful image (From the Heart Stamps) really makes that point.  :-D  So, this card is for all my friends in blogland.  May your holidays be warm and cozy.

My sketch came from "I {heart} Sketches" (reversed)

and I took my colors from the challenge at "Sisterhood of Crafters."

  

     I used my ProMarkers to color the image, added glitter and Snow-Tex, then die cut it with a plain square die and punched the corners.  I added a die cut behind it (a left over from another project) and matted that with some dp from DCWV's Winter Magic stack.  The dark blue paper with the silver snowflakes in the background is also from that same stack.  I added the hand-sewn bow for a tiny bit of embellishment and dimension.

Do Not Open 'Til Christmas

     Another day with two posts.  This darling image is the freebie for the Progressive Challenge at From the Heart Stamps and it clearly is the fulfillment of every child's biggest Christmas wish -- lots of packages just for him!

     The image is colored with ProMarkers, including gold, silver and copper metallic markers on some of the presents.  I heat embossed the sentiment with gold EP.  That image piece was layered onto shiny, gold CS and I added a leftover scrap of gold ribbon for the bow.  That was it --again, I wanted a CAS design, easier to mail.

Too Much Eggnog!

     I have a dear friend who loves giraffes so I make cards for her for all kinds of occasions but it's often hard to work them into a Christmas card.  This image (From the Heart Stamps) made me think of Christmas because his expression makes it so obvious that he's really been dipping into the eggnog!  LOL  I know she's going to love it.

     He's colored in yellowy-beige and bright Christmas red with ProMarkers and I added red Stickles to the spots on his head.   The holly and berries which make his tie (I added that myself - it's not part of the image) are also sparkly.  I managed that by paper piecing with sparkled, hologram paper.

     I die cut the image with a die from Spellbinders and layered that onto berry red CS.  The sparkly ribbon is from Really Reasonable Ribbon and I used a scrap of white crocheted lace ribbon to tie the bow.  Finally I added the glittery poinsettia next to the bow to give it even more Christmas flair.
