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.

This Calls For a Toast

Hello friends. 

This card was requested by a student.  She wanted to celebrate some of her kids accomplishments.  I thought this was a fun play on words.  I had so much fun coloring the bread.  I used tiny dots to try to give the toast some texture.  I hope she loves it.

Jelly Out of Your Donut

Hello friends, 

We all have bad days.  I love making cards that encourage and lift other up.  This sentiment made me laugh.  I hope it does the same to whomever gets this cards.  I made a batch of these to put out of my craft table.  Hopefully  everyone likes them.

It Sherbert Day

Hello all, 

I hope you all are enjoying your summer.  I can't believe how fast it is going.  July was a crazy busy month.  I hoped to catch up on a lot of projects.  I had a ton of fun, but my "to do" didn't see me much.  Oh well.  I guess I get another chance at it in August.    It is more important to focus on the now, right?! 

Fran ( a student) requested these.  She always sends her granddaughter ice cream cards to with money for ice cream in them each summer.  What a fun tradition.  It was a great excuse to ink up these stamp from Trinity stamps.  It was perfect timing because Taylored expressions just released a cone embossing folder.  I sponged a little brown ink on toffee paper. It looks just like an ice cream cone.  I almost took a bite to make sure it wasn't real.   I couldn't decide what sentiment I liked better.  What do you think?

Sweatest Season

YAY! It is July.  I'm going to be celebrating to be celebrating Christmas all month long.  Hopefully catching up on all the unfinished cards from last year and getting a head start on the cards for this year.  It is really hard for me to work Christmas cards in the middle in the summer.  Summer is the awesome and the last thing I want to think about is snow.    However,   Christmas is the biggest card sending holiday sending of the year.   It is just too big to cram into the three week span the calendar gives us.    Hopefully this helps inspire you to dig out your stamps and take this journey with me.    Together we can chip away at our Christmas Card lists! 

I started off with one of my favorite fun folds.  I love this little flappy card! It is perfect for using smaller images.

Cherry on Top

Greetings!  
What is your favorite flavor of ice cream?  What a hard question.  It is all so good.  We have a local ice cream shop here that makes homemade cake batter ice cream and that might have to take the win.   

In this case I let the decorative paper pick the colors.  Since white ice cream isn't all that fun to stamp... I went with pink (cherry or strawberry).   For the most part this is a monochromatic card.  It is all in the pink/red family.  It was fun to create.  The stamp set made the stamping really easy.  The class is supposed to be layered stamping.  I wasn't able to get that to work.  However, I think it looks fine with just one layer.   I hope some of this sweet treat finds it way to you really soon.  It is (almost) summer after all!  
Happy Stamping friends, 
Chris

COFFEE.

Welcome back,  
 
Today I'm sharing the coffee version of card I posted on Saturday.   My husband is a huge coffee drinker.  I've learned that nothing comes before coffee.  Thankfully, I enjoy sleeping in.  So he often gets up before me and self-medicates before I'm even out of bed.   This dog is how I imagine him in the morning.  If the cup was big enough I'm sure he would crawl right in.

Tea-Rex

Hey friends, 

I'm not much of a coffee or tea drinker, but this little image stole my heart.  He looks so happy in his little tea cup.  I thought it would be perfect for someone out there it a tea drinker.  I have a coffee version too.. don't worry I'll share that soon.

Donut you know?

Hello all, 
I think I've hit a new record!   I think I went a full 2 months without posting on the blog.  Gosh, I didn't mean to do that.  If we have chatted in person, you probably know I've just had a lot on my plate.  You all know how that goes and unfortunately this is something that very easily can sit and just chill.   

I'm glad to say that I think I've regrouped a little.  I'm hoping to play a little catch up.  My goal to be more balanced.  Unfortunately, life with little kids  (and a traveling husband) is rough and you just got to roll with it.    

That is why I picked this guy to pop back on the blog today.  He looks like he has some life lessons to teach.  He is rolling with it.  I didn't really get to make any traditional Valentine's this year, but this guy came through in jam.   I've had this stamp for a while but this is the first time I've colored him up.  It was so delicious... I might have to run out and get some donuts.  
I hope you enjoy...   talk soon I'll try not to be another 2 months! 
Hugs to you all
Chris

Berry Sweet

Hello friends, 

It has been a minute since I've had some time to just sit and color.  Of course as soon the first image I inked up when I got the chance was this adorable House Mouse image (Thank you to Lori for gifting it to me).  I love these little guys.  They are always adorable.   These four look like they have been having a bit of a snack in the garden.  Hopefully they haven't made anyone upset! 

As a side note... I was happy to learn that Berry Burst, one of SU's new colors, is a perfect match for my favoroite raspberry copic combo (RV52, RV63, RV66).  I think I'll be reaching for that a lot more .

You Make Everything Better

 Hello friends, 

I love stamp sets that allow us to make fun, quick, and humorous cards.   This set was released a few years ago by Stampin Up.  It has a few items like chocolate, cookies, and cocktails in it.  You can customize your card to fit the person's favorite things.   I used a few different shades of brown to create these chocolate chip cookies.   I also had some diamond dot in chocolate chip brown.  I scattered them around the card to add to the crumbs.   I think they catch the light and add the perfect amount of shine.

Nom Nom!

 Hey Hey! 

Check out this cutie!  This stamp is from Mama Elephant. I paired it with a chocolate candy stencil to create this yummy background.    This cheeky little monkey seems to have stolen himself some chocolate chip cookies.   He is clearly going to devour them.   

The inside of the card says:  "Every time I say the word "diet", I wash my mouth out with chocolate. "

Hopefully you got a good laugh.  Have a crafty day

Margarita

Hello all! 

I love making shaker cards.  I think all the moving bits just adds an element of fun.   I used a die set from Picket Fence stamps.  This die made it it really easy to create the glass.  I filled it with two different colors of glass beads.  The top of the glass has chunky white glitter glued to the top.  I thought it kind of looked like salt.  What makes this card special is the sentiment.   Have you ever wondered if there is a margarita out there thinking of you?

Cheers and Beers

 Hello!

I've got another fun gnome to share with you today.  This guy is just so perfect for masculine cards.  I can see making a bunch of these for Father's day this year.    I think he looks quite proud of himself sitting in this mug!  

On the foam in the mug I used some pearl drops that I bought at Michaels to give some shine.  I didn't put them on thick.  Just little swipes of it here and there to add texture.

Hunt for Food

 Hello all, 

I needed a little break from Christmas cards.  I pulled out an older stamp, but paired it with a new sentiment.  It hits home this week.  Connor has been traveling and I've been eating whatever the kids will eat.  I miss adult food.    I hope this gives you a bit of a chuckle!
