Duck, Duck, Goose

Hello, 

Lawn fawn is now manufacturing stencils that you can use to color in your images.  It is a huge time saver.  I was curious on how well they worked, so I ordered a set.  I love the results.   I will be ordering more of these!!

Heart Smiles

Hello,  

I'm so glad to revisit this technique.   I call it reverse eclipse card.   I stamped the white panels with the snap dragon set from Altenew.     Then die cut the "Smile" out of  panel.  I popped up the word and replaced the with black card stock.  Then I used the smile on another card panel.  I hope this all makes sense.   I really liked how this turned out.   I'm so glad that I remembered this technique.

Birthday Crabs

Hello, 

I'm changing it up a little.   Patty (student in my group) asked if we could do a colored pencil card.   I of course love a challenge.   This is a new gnome stamp from Woodware.   I love all things water, so I had to color him right away.  I love the way the color pencils pop off the craft card stock.   What do you think?

No copics used.   I colored this with prismacolor pencils. 
 

Toucan Do It

Hello friends, 

I've had this stamp set for an embarrassing amount of time.  I know we all have those.  Something (I wish I knew what) made me think of it.   I'm so glad that I got it out and finally used it.   Toucans are such fun birds.

Let Them Eat Cake

Hello friends!

This card was inspired by Taylor from Taylored Expressions.  She made a similar card a while back.   I didn't have all the products that she had so I had to add my own splash of creativity to make it work. My favorite parts is the fork.    I found it in an old set from Ellen Hudson (she has been out of business a while now).    This inspired me to make cards with the other two cakes in this set.    I'll share those cards soon.

Anything is Possible with Snoopy

Hello, 

Have you ever tried an impossible card?   They are very possible, you just need to know the trick.   I hope you can make it to class this month.  We are going to be spotlighting this technique.   This is one of my favorite card styles.  It is perfect to showcase some smaller images that might not easily carry a traditional A2 card.     As always I love to know what you think.

Hello all, 

Happy 4th of July weekend!  This is a big one.  The USA is turning 250 years old.  Are you doing anything special?  We are doing the same traditions as always.  Fireworks, yummy food and lots of time with family.    

This stamp is from Unity stamps.   I love this line of Kitty stamps.  It was really easy to color and I think it makes a hilarious card.    I added some gold gel pen to the starts and sparkler.   I just forgot to take another picture...so you are going to have to do a little imagining.
