House Mouse Reindeer Mice Cards





The House Mouse Reindeer image was stamped with Picket Fence Hybrid black ink and my MISTI and made several images. I colored with copic markers: E00,E21,E33,E53,E41,B0000,B91;and Prisma Colored pencils:908,909,922,924,946,1084. I then cut the images down and made a Double Z fold card using Karen Aicken's video. I used Bazzill cardstocks in Red Card Shop, and Carta Bella 6x6 pad of "Christmas Wonderland" (beautiful vintage style from 2015) papers mixing and matching. Using my We R Memories small scoreboard and Fiskars 12" trimmer to cut and score the lines of every paper, it came together nicely. The "Merry Christmas" is a Creek Bank Creations die and the others are cut from a pattern paper. The snowflake is a sticker.

House Mouse Card

 


                                 

Well, back again with our all time favorite House Mouse cards, and using this larger image, I colored it with Copics: House Mouse: E00,E21,E33,E43,E53,R20 OR C1,C3,C7. Red Hat: R24,R27. Green Hats: G46,G43. Cone: Y21,Y23,Y26. Chocolate Icing: E21,E25,R27. Flames: YR21,YR15.

The card is pieces from a Garage Sale Pumpkin kit leftovers I bought as is, and so I used the banners as my bg as my base. I circle cut the image and circle frame. I then added a glitzy package embellishment from an old Petaloo package I still have in my stash! Also, the "Happy Birthday" was cut apart and remade to match up with the circle, and is from Little B. The glitter gold circle enamel dots are from American Craft. All to match up with the festive feel of the card.

Karen Burniston's Label Charm Pop-up Anniversary Card




 Hello, today I am working with the Karen Burniston die for Label Charm Pop-up Die which can be seen in this video.
    I made this card for my 43rd Anniversary Card for my husband and put in an personal note in the inside after the photos were shot of the card. As some of you know, I am recovering from my latest (3rd) foot surgery at home with my supplies strewn out beside me on all surfaces, so it's a mess. I thought that this came out great!! All were die cut and assembled so much easier than you would expect because of how talented Karen is in engineering these fabulous dies! I have some of her older ones and have loved them! I want to give kudos to my sons who have to feed and care for me as well as take and retake pics for me since I am not moving from my spot in a recliner sectional! They are so patient and kind for sure! Enjoy!
Details: All the cardstocks are shimmer so that they shine and added some bling as well. The dies cut "like butter" and were a dream to use!!

Studio Light Crafts Mermaid Mermazing Card

 


With the Studio Light NL Sweet Stories set, I stamped with Picket Fence Hybrid black ink (my new favorite), then colored with a ton of copic alcohol markers. I colored all the images and more for 3-4 days. The mermaid hair has added Prisma Colored Pencils to add highlights. Four pieces were die cut out to add dimension infront of and behind the Copic colored and stamped pieces. These are all apart of the whole Sweet Stories bundle and came with a larger sea shell. This set is called, Sea Shell. The base is made with Studio Light NL Sweet Stories Mask Sea Stories with applied Distress Oxides in Tumbled Glass but mostly Sea Glass. I like how the water blending came out with different shading. The sand was a cardstock and added Vintage ink. The underwater greenery was stenciled with DO Mowed Lawn. The sentiment was from the another of the Sweet Stories sets called Sweet Stories Fintastic Quotes and used my MISTI with VersaMark and Flamingo Pink embossing powder from Stampendous.  Hope you enjoy my card!

Picket Fence Mermaid Dear Shaker Card


 Picket Fence Mermaid Dear stamped with Picket Fence Hybrid Black ink with my MISTI and then colored with my Copics. I die cut it out with the matching die. Using the Picket Fence A2 Shaker die with plastic from a page refill, I die cut it out. The center die of the shaker die set is slightly smaller rectangle so as to pull the plastic back. Using the Current Fish 6x6 stencil with the Paper Glaze Ocean Poppy paste I made the background. I then used Distress Oxide in Mermaid Lagoon (so appropriate, right?) and Squeeze Lemonade to make it look like the ocean floor. Before I combined all of the pieces together, I heat embossed the sentiment with Wow Embossing powder in Iris from Marion Emberson Designs. I love all of the purples so much. I also added the Purple Side of the Rainbow gem mixes near the sentiment. I didn't own any more PF sequins so added Catherine Pooler sequins in North Pole and Charleston combined. I have enjoyed the creativity making this piece and am so thrilled with how it came out! Hope you enjoy it, too!

Backpack: BG13, BG15, BG18. I used C7 on the door on the Mansion. I used E57 on the background with 2 shades of brown Prisma Pencils to add shading. Bushes: G21, G28, G29.  The sentiment was embossed with the same Platinum EP and adhered to the bottom of the card. Using alcohol markers is so much fun and easy for me to do while I recoup and not move with my foot up, from my surgery. Hope you enjoy it!!

Echo Park Pretend English Coronation Party




 

Using Echo Park America collection, I fussy cut the rosettes out (Independence  banners)and added the floral paper (Liberty Floral) underneath. I matched a navy cardstock for the 8x10 of all of us dressed up with hats and fancy foods. It was a red, white and blue theme. The floral sticker was from the sheet included. The Altenew Fancy Celebrate die cut was the title. The Rosette I wore for the festivities was used for the page as embellishment and fun ribbons attached for texture.

The Theme since we couldn't fly to England, was we could pretend to have a coronation party!! I know you can relate! Wendy South hosted and it was her idea, and we all had a blast! I couldn't show all of the pictures but there was tea, champagne or mimosas. We had such fun! Wendy even had a photo booth set up for us and head pics of King Charles to play with! It was so much fun!!
