Christmas tags take two

Good evening everyone,

I'm back again with another set of tags for the Mod Squad challenge!  Had a chance to make these yesterday too. To make these tags I used my silhouette to cut them out, then I used some Christmas paper a couple of strips of ribbon, then I colored and fussy cut the stocking from Power poppy poinsettias stamp set and used 3-d dots for some dimension. Easy peasy!  Hope everyone is keeping warm where ever you are . It sure is getting cold around here it's only supposed to be in the twenty's all week. Brrrr  That's all for today!

I'm also entering these in the Power Poppy peep of the week challenge!

Christmas tags

Good afternoon everyone,

Today I  made my first set of Christmas tags. I used the tutorial by Dina Kowal from Power Poppy Inspire me Monday. I just love doing different things not the same old thing. Lol  At work I do the same thing everyday so boring , so when I make my cards or tags different is good. To make my tags I colored the image with copic markers then I used three different dies. Then I lightly sponged some memento summer sky around the edges while the image was still in the die, then I traced with a pencil  around the die and cut it with my scissors  to get the blue border.

Grandma's Attic

Good evening,

Back again with another card for the Mod Squad challenge! Got the first card wrong I used lace instead of doily! Don't really have any doily so these Spellbinders dies look like a doily! I hope so anyways! Lol   Used Gina k. card stock since it's the best on the market. Spellbinders floral ribbon threader die, sentiment is from Flourishes Dahlia stamp set , a beautiful bow and some faux pearls. It is very hard to photograph dark cardstock had to take lots of pictures just to get one right.         Thanks for stopping by! Have a Blessed day! Angie

Grandma's attic

Happy Lords day,

Our friend Donna has challenged us to make a card using doily, but I accidentally used lace!  For this card I used Gina k. 80 lbs card stock to add my lace to . Added lace to the top and bottom of the card and used score tape to attach it to the cs. Then I used two different kinds of ribbon for the center. Used the spellbinders radiant rectangles since the top die looks like lace. Stamped the sentiment from Our Daily Bread Designs stamp set the Rose. Fussy cut two of the beautiful roses from the same stamp  set and colored them with copics. Also added a few faux pearls to finish off the card.  I was going for a Victorian looking card. So I hope I have accomplished that! Thanks for stopping by! Have a Blessed day! Angie

I'm entering this card in the following challenges.

Good evening,

Our friend Lee over at the Mod Squad has challenged us to make a Blue Christmas card! So for this card I used Power Poppy's gorgeous poinsettias stamp colored it with copic's, added some Martha Stewart fine glitter for some sparkle, added some sequins and added a blue cs in the background nothing too complicated.  I like the blue and white look and the sparkle! I'm also entering this in the Power Poppy peep of the week challenge! I had some time yesterday to make a card  between Church and Bowling with friends! I have only 3 more weeks till my next vacation , only good thing about having 25 years vacation time! By the way this Thursday, November 6th is my 25 Anniversary at work!

My favorite thing

Good afternoon,

Today's card is made using power poppy's gorgeous poinsettia stamp set that I won from the World card making day challenge! Thank You Marcella!  I stamped the Poinsettia on the beautiful spellbinders majestic labels 25 die then colored it with my copics . Added some sakura clear glitter pen to the leaves for some sparkle.  Used another spellbinders radiant rectangles die and added some 3-d dots for some dimension . Then used another spellbinders decorative labels eight for the card base.  Added a few sequence and a couple faux pearls and the card is all done. You would think that I work for spellbinders since I love there dies so much . I almost never make a card and not use a die.

Power Poppy Wold Card Making Day: Challenge 1

Good morning,
Today I have a card for Power poppy World card making day challenge!  For this challenge we had to make a card using a technique from Inspire Me Monday .  I chose this technique to use strips of paper of your image to create the card. This technique was kind of hard for me you have to keep the cut strips together or your card will be a mess, then I couldn't figure out how to finish of my card . So it was gingham ribbon to the rescue. Something that looks easy took me for ever to make.  Leave it to me to complicate things . Lol  Here's my finished card!  Enjoy!

Thanks for stopping by! Have a Blessed day!

Vellum and acetate challenge

Happy Lords day everyone!

Our friend Karen Hightower has challenged us to make a card using both vellum and acetate for the Mod Squad challenge! It sure was a hard one for sure but like my friend Barbara Campbell  said that's why they are called a challenge to make us think.  So for this card I used the beautiful chrysanthemums flowers  from Flourishes no longer available. Colored them with copic markers and fussy cut them. Then I used Gina K. paper cut 1 inch down  from the top and cut another inch strip for the bottom then I cut a piece of acetate which I embossed then used score tape to attach it to the card stock. Then I used some gingham ribbon and glued my flowers down. To finish it off I stamped the sentiment from Autumn Beauty from Gina K. Designs on some vellum. Hope you like my creation!

Basket of grapes

Good afternoon everyone,

I'm back again with another card this time for the Mod Squad challenge. We are to make a card with fruit or harvest theme  . So I have  decided to make a basket of grapes card since I have so many fond memories of picking grapes as a kid growing up in Europe. My parents even knew how to make alcoholic and non-alcoholic wine the only bad part is that they never though us how to make it .  And to this day I still love the European grapes better then the ones they sell at the grocery store and they were organic no wonder they taste so much better. Lol 
The stamp set I have used is Better with age  by Gina K. Designs

Telescoping technique card

Good afternoon everyone,
For today's Power poppy peep of the week challenge I decided to make a telescoping card. I thought that the peony flower was perfect fort this technique (too bad that I don't have any round or oval dies to fit the flower) so I used my square ones. I followed this video here to make this card.

Paper Piecing challenge

Good evening everyone!

Todays card is for a challenge at Mod Squad to make a card that is paper pieced ! So for my card today I used a piece of black card stock then used the Martha Stewart punch for the lace border then added a red  checkered board paper.  Fussy cut the strawberries then used a red paper with tiny white polka dots to resemble the seeds, fussy cut the basket and colored it with copics. Used 3 d dots for the basket and strawberries for some dimension . kind of looks  like a picnic table with a pretty table cover and a basket with strawberries in it. Even the little sentiment die looks like a place setting don't you think?

Colored two of the beautiful crocus flowers  from Gina K. Designs Signs of Spring stamp set with my copic markers then fussy cut them, then I also fussy cut two of the colored digi stamps from Fred she said . Popped the whole thing on Gina k.

Think Spring 2.0

 

 

 

Happy Lords day everyone! It's March and yet we got another 4 inches of fresh snow yay! So to think about Spring the Mod Squad crew challenged us to make another Spring related card. For my card I used the gorgeous iris flower from Melanie Muenchinger new Stately flowers 8 stamp set available at Gina K. Designs.  Colored the iris with copic markers B00, B02, B04,G21,G24 and G28 after I colored it I fussy cut it ( I know I need to use my silhouette). Then I used my square die to cut a hole into the ribbon threader die and before I took the die out I sponged some Memento Bahama blue die around the edges, then I embossed a piece of card and sponged some Memento Angel pink over the top and put it behind the hole that I cut out. Colored the humming bird from Flourishes Humming along no longer available so said with copic markers also, threaded some Gina K. gingham ribbon and added some white faux pearls around the card and added a little polka dot bow to the flower to finish of the card.  When I was making this card I had no idea that humming birds like iris flowers but now I do! I guess if they didn't they would have now  at least on my card! LOL  
 Hope all is well in your neck of the woods! Stay warm my friends! Thanks for stopping by again!
Have a Blessed day everyone! Angie
