For You

I hope you are having a happy and safe Memorial Day. Let's just remember that it's about more than backyard barbeques and trips to the lake. 

I stamped three of the images from the Honey Bee Oh My Whiskers (retired) set, then cut out with the matching dies. I prepared the background by water coloring with tumbled glass and gathered twigs distress ink. I stamped the sentiment from the Love Enclosed set directly onto the panel, then secured al images with dimensionals.

{The Cat's Pajamas} Unforgettable

I am sharing some of the new digital The Cat's Pajamas projects with you today. 

First up is a card featuring the fun Never Forget digital stamp which I printed onto Copic friendly cardstock, then cut out with an older Spellbinders die and colored with Copic Markers. I prepared the background with three different strips of patterned paper. I layered the last strip with craft foam, then attached the image panel also with a layer of foam for extra  dimension. Lastly I added the sentiment from the digital set printed onto green parakeet cardstock.

My next project is a tag using the fun new Tequila digital set using Photoshop Elements to create, then printed onto Copic friendly cardstock. I cut out with a tag die, then added patterned paper to the top and bottom of the tag. After coloring with Copic markers, I then tied two different colors of cording for the tag hole. I plan on attaching to a tequila bottle for a stock the bar party but would also be fun attached to a card base for a Bon Voyage card.

Hang in There {Purple Onion Designs}

Hi there. I hope you are having a great week so far. I have another card for you from the Purple Onion Designs A Happy Little Place collection illustrated by the extremely talented artist Stacey Yacula. 

I went more old school with the design of this card, meaning I used several pieces of patterned paper and also some lumpy embellishments. I cut the tag from Copic friendly cardstock, stamped the Clothesline onto it adding patterned paper at the top and bottom of the tag. To prepare the card front I used a stencil and distress ink on the background. It turned out a little brighter yellow than I wanted so I mixed some white acrylic paint with water and sponged it over the yellow to tone it down. An easy fix! I added patterned paper strips for the bottom border, then attached the tag to the card front. I clustered a small tag with a heart, the sentiment from the Around the Town Sentiment Set stamped onto black cardstock with Versamark white embossing power and attached to the top of the tag with a cluster of cording.  At that point, I though I was through but at the last minute I decided to add Anna (fox) which I fussy cut out after coloring then attached to the background with a small white cardstock circle using dimensionals for some added texture.

I stamped the Produce Stand on the top fold of the card base, then carefully cut around it with my trimmer. I then masked the inside of the stand and stamped George (raccoon). After stamping Alice (squirrel) and one of the images from the Fruit Crates, I colored everything with Copics, fussy cutting out the squirrel and the peach crates.

This little hedgie is just so cute. Polly (hedgehog) was stamped onto Copic friendly cardstock, then colored with  Copic markers them fussy cut out. I then stamped the rest of this image (paint cans) directly onto a linen cardstock stitched panel which I colored also with Copics along with the  Street  image from a previous release using soft stone ink. After splashing the vermillion ink onto the buildings, I stamped the sentiment from the Around the Town Sentiment Set at the bottom of the card front, then added the strip of patterned paper to separate it from the image portion. The panel was then attached to a red cardstock base and the hedgie was added with foam dimensionals.

Today's card is a mini slimline which also features an interactive feature that I created with a roller die. After stamping the new Countryside horizon image onto a Bristol cardstock rectangle, then blended in tumbled glass distress ink for the sky. I traced the horizon lines onto plain printer, cut it out then used it as a pattern so I could cut the "grassy" designer paper to atch the horizon. I then cut out another grass piece using one of the dies from the Slimline Basics CutUps. I cut out the roller section using a Roller CutUps and popped the piece up with foam dimensionals.  I stamped Anna (mouse) and the flowers from the Flora End Notes stamp from an earlier release and fussy cut out. The sentiment came from the Together set (which benefits Covid-19 relief).
