House Mouse Get Well Cards

Sending cards to people who are under the weather and using Kathy Racoosin's #thedailymarker30day challenge but am posted on my Instagram @jordanbev5 instead of posting to her blog. If you would like to play along with me, just post there and use the hash tag as I have listed it. These images are my friend's and I stamped several of them with my MISTI with Memento tuxedo black ink and then am taking time each day to color them with Copic sketch markers using a varied amount of each. I have die cut with a common frame in my stash with my Platinum 6 die cutting machine and then glued them down in my cards. The flowers and cardstocks are extras that need to me used or thrown away as I am in a "clean" mode to purge all unused pieces and start afresh!!! Am working on these two to go immediately to post and then will be trying to start my Christmas ones soon. Have too many I am needing to get done and so enjoyed coloring these cuties today and yesterday!! Hope that I can keep up with her 30 days of coloring and then to get them made into cards will be even greater!! Enjoy!

Creek Bank Creations Spiral Birthday Card

                            

My trip to Stampfest 2020 in Clearwater, Fl included shopping at the Creek Bank Creations booth who had these new dies and stamps. Thought I'd add it to a special friend's birthday card and using a fabulous House Mouse Stamp image colored with my Copic markers. I used Whimsy Stamps celebration paper pad for the background. The Birthday sentiment on the front is a die from Creek Bank Creations as well. The inside pop up is thick acetate which is die cut with the spiral die, and then the added die cut birthday images. This is so fun that I shared with my friends too! I'm using a sorting box from the container store to streamline the process of making more. The glitter and shiny cardstocks seem to make the images really shine! And of course I need another birthday card so  thinking I need to keep playing around with all of these! Also, this was my take on "more than one fold" because I did a spiral but only on the inside.

Supplies:

Creek Bank Creations: Happy Birthday Scroll Sentiment die, Spiral Pop Up Die, Mini Birthday Die, 3 x 4 Happy Birthday Circle Sentiment

Tools: Spellbinders Platinum 6, Spellbinders All in One tool, Washi tape; MISTI; Memento Tuxedo black ink.

Papers: Various shiny and glitter and regular cardstocks, Whimsy Stamps 6x6 birthday paper.

DCWV February Country Manor layout

Here is the DCWV February Sketch

Using DCWV Country Manor papers for the above sketch, I made this double page layout.
I also used the DCWV Corrugated papers and die cut the layered labels. I added photos from a fall trip to see my daughter in South Carolina. The trees reminded me of the Angel Oak in the Kiawah area near Charleston. I added a few Prima Marketing flowers from my stash with small gems and lace. Hope you enjoy it!

And here is the way I turned it into a double layout. Love that I did scrapbook these photos since I gave my daughter a mini album of the pics.

Word Art Wednesday #424-425 Anything Goes

Cosmo Cricket Luxembourg Adventure

                             

We had an amazing Viking Cruise this summer. In fact, my advise for marriage is to travel and enjoy life together. It brings us joy and you feel the love from one another so much stronger. One of the places we visited was the city of Luxembourg. This layout shows some of the wonderful sights we saw in the old city center. I've been looking at all the places we traveled while on our Viking Cruise Paris to Swiss Alps, and remembering the happy times we had. I think one of the fun ways to re-experience or relive those moments once home is to scrapbook them and put them all together in an album.
Supplies: Old Cosmo Cricket Circa 1934 papers with Prima Marketing Say it with bling-black. The adventure title is die cut from a Kaiser Craft die using my Spellbinders Platinum 6. Black cardstock, Fiskars 12 inch trimmer and scissors, and reverse twizzers were used.

Word Art Wednesday Guest Designer Spot With Pretty Pink Posh Christmas Card

I'm being honored again to be the guest designer on Word Art Wednesday Challenge and would love for you to come over and join in! It's the #418-419 Anything Goes Challenge!!

I used Pretty Pink Posh Penguin Pals colored with my Copic Markers. I die cut the Pretty Pink Posh Jolly die and cut out the center to put the verse for this week. Added the silver bow. The background was blended with Ranger Distress Oxide Blueprint and Peacock Feathers to look like an arctic winter. To add a 3D affect of snow I used Stampendous Thick embossing powder in white with gold. Hope you enjoy the card because I loved the experience of playing along with Word Art Wednesday's challenge this week and hope you are having a Merry Christmas and will join us if you have a chance to craft during the holidays!

Word Art Wednesday Guest Designer Spot with House Mouse

Today I have the honor of being a guest designer for Word Art Wednesday Challenge Blog.
For today's post, I am using part of the scripture that I have retyped into my Word program and made to fit the die cut frame. I wanted to depict the Gift that God lavished on us with Jesus Christ, His one and only son.  So I used the House Mouse image of the Three "Wise" Mice bringing their gifts!!

Cardmaking directions:  First I stamped the image onto Neenah #110 white cardstock which is my "go-to" paper to color with my Copic Markers. I use Memento Tuxedo Black ink with my MISTI original. I colored them with various markers and playing along with #thedailymarker30day was fun too. I chose the Spellbinders Chantilly Paper Lace Annabelle's Trousseau frame for my silver glitter paper on my Platinum 6. Spellbinders All-In-One tool is a must to get all the pieces out easily!! There's a brush at one end and a poker at the other. That comes in handy every time! My colored piece was die cut with this die as well so as to fit underneath and not show. The sentiment was printed and die cut with an Anna Griffin extra in one of die sets. Loved the shape to not take away from the lacy frame.

The paper for the background and frame are sheets of the DCWV Holiday Glitzy Glitter stack and I used just a smidgen of the stripe with the silver edge. The smaller frame was a sheet of Tonic Red mirror paper. Last I added the velvet flower from my stash to add some soft dimension to shiny glitz of the card.

      I would love to hear from you and hope you are having a wonderful start of Holiday season!!

                           Hope you will join in on the Word Art Wednesday Challenge
