Pie Anyone???

Ok, so I must say that I had a great time making this card.  I have a drawer of Inky Antic HoneyPop stamps.  I used to teach a class at my local scrapbook store until it closed.  I used these stamps all the time for the HoneyPop classes and also for some basic Copic Marker instruction.

I have been trying to find various ways to use these products other than a normal card, so today I have a step card to offer.

Now since there's a pie on my card, I have a card recipe for you today

I received some new stamps the past few weeks and finally had the opportunity to color one of them.  Tonight I selected 'Oxford' from Mo Manning.  I used my airbrush to color the nail heads and some Distress Ink to soften the edges of the image after I cut it from the Spellbinders Die. Schools days was printed from my computer and added to a couple of Stampin' UP! punches.  All the Supplies are listed below.

Tonight I have a very simple sympathy card that I put together.  I realized today after going through my stash that my inventory was short of this basic card.  I stamped the image on white paper and embossed with white powder.  Using Ranger Distress Ink I rubbed on several colors then cut the image out with a Spellbinders Die. After a few more layers and some ribbon this card is ready to go.
Hope you enjoy! ~Nancy~

In Everything Give Thanks

I''m posting a little early today because I have a class at All About Pictures tonight.  I will be teaching another dimensional flower class tonight and we will make an adorable sunflower vase.  You can see the project here. 

As I have been mulling over my stamps and pulling out ones that don't get alot of attention I came across the set with this hydrangea. With the weather here in Iowa being at a beyond scorch level most of the summer, I believe that is why my hydrangea's never bloomed.  So guess what...I'll just make my own.  The image here is from Stampin' UP! along with the sentiment.  I hope you enjoy and also give Thanks for everything in your life.

Shopping Anyone...

I'm so happy to have a post tonight!  I have missed my time this week being creative. Lots of activities in our household, getting ready for a family reunion, a new hire training class at our business, I taught a Copic class at All About Pictures and then my oldest dog has been very sick.  So it's good to back and share this card and I hope you like this Penny Black stamp as much as I do.
The image is very basic and easy to color.  After looking at the finished product I wanted to find a sentiment that would fit the card. I came upon the Hero Arts stamp set with 'Kick Up Your Heels & Have FUN", so it was perfect.  How could I go wrong with girl time and shopping.
Thanks for checking in tonight.

Goosebump Ideas

I've been busy the past few days working on table centerpieces for my husbands upcoming family reunion.  I must admit that the thought of making 120 button flowers was a bit daunting, but it went fairly quick last night and my husband joined in by twisting all 120 wire stems needed.  I worked a little late into this morning, but got most everything completed and then finished today.  I hope you enjoy the card tonight and I will show you my flower creations later next week.

Tonight I wanted to share this card that I made with paper created after I cleaned out the sprayer of my Goosebumps bottle.  You should always clear the sprayer after each use, so I have decided that I will just spray a piece of paper and then use it to make a fun background for images.  I used Ranger Distress Ink on the paper, then I stamped the image on top.  You can see that I got a very distressed look.  After cutting the image with a Spellbinders die I adhered the shape to a card base that was embossed by using my Cuttlebug. Finally I added a little more Distress Ink on the embossed surface. Listed below are the Supplies.

Ranger Distress Ink: Vintage Photo, Shabby Shutters
Goosebumps
Spellbinders: Labels Three
Stamped image and Sentiment: Stampin' UP!
Misc: Ribbon

Seize the Cupcake

Ok, look who's back.  I just love Mimi from Penny Black.  This time she whipped up a batch of cupcakes for you.  I colored the image with my Copic Markers and used one of my Spellbinder dies to cut the card base.  The sentiment is an oldie but goodie from Hero Arts.  The recipe for this card is below.

Today I went back to my scrap bins and pulled out some paper.  I wanted to play around with the new Goosebumps product from Tsukineko.  This product will give you a resist image without heat embossing.  You can spray directly on your stamp, place it in a dabber bottle or this time I spray it on my non-stick craft mat and used a piece of sponge to apply to my stamp.  I liked the way it turned out using it this way.  If you need more information about Goosebumps, go here.

Today I'm sharing a card I made with an image from Mo Manning.  I have been fortunate enough to take several Copic certification classes and have found a wonderful mentor whose blog I check everyday. So the other day Debbie Olson posted a card and I immediately purchased the image.  I wanted to try and duplicate the hair since it was so different.  Debbie's final product is much better than mine and I have asked her permission to share mine with you. I have placed a link to her blog here and you should go see all her designs.  She is nothing short of amazing.

You make my Heart smile

This little Tea Cup girl is so cute.  Unfortunately the picture doesn't show the exact colors.  She really is very pink and bright.  My husband ask me what was wrong with her hair and I politely explained that she had a head piece on her head.  I guess because I have spiky hair he thought she had spiky hair too, well at least that's how I interpreted the image.
