2.09.2017- the moose is loose. . .

I saw this moose die online, and it immediately reminded me of a time when I was in high school, when a huge moose was loose in the city, and was trapped in our back yard.  T

he conservation officers had a heck of a time getting him out of the city and back to the safety of the woods without getting hurt.

This is a card I created using yet another sun ray mask I created using my Cameo.  You can see the other one HERE

The trees are a retired Stampin' Up! stamp set.  

The inks I chose were Memento Black, So Saffron and Blushing Bride.  

The card stock is Whisper White and Basic Black.  The moose was cut from Early Espresso.

2.06.2017- Lift Me Up

I love the colorful balloons and reminds me of back home in New Brunswick, at the annual Sussex Balloon Festival.

This is the second design of five we made in my January Masculine Stamp a Stack.

It features the new stamp set and coordinating dies from the Lift me Up Bundle found on page 10 of the Occasions Catalog found HERE.  The air balloon images are great and the dies are superb. 

 I love how the dies have individual pieces to fill in the back side of the balloon image as shown in my previous post HERE.

 
And the greetings are wonderful- perfect for a variety of occasions- birthday, congratulations, love, support, thank you etc.

2.05.2017 CAN YOU CASE IT CHALLENGE #146

Today I decided to play along with a card making challenge.  

Here is my card I came up with using the challenge colours: 

Here was today's colour challenge:

The images are from the stamp set Gift of Love and the bee is from the Dragonfly Dreams bundle. 

I LOVE the two step stamp set for the flower image.  

I found this to be a challenging colour combination....but who doesn't love a good challenge, especially on a lazy Sunday afternoon.

2.04.2017...DESIGNER TEE....SAB FREEBIE.....VIDEO.....

2.03.2017- Art Impressions Beach Babes. . . make me laugh. . .

I saw this stamp set online and it made me laugh out loud.... I knew I had to have it!

As soon as it arrived I sat down and I created this card for my girlfriend, who I know will appreciate the humorous card, and get a good laugh when she opens it....it was a hoot to color- couldn't decide which loud color to use next....LOL.  

2-02-2017- Love You Lots Hedgehogs

I was playing in my craft studio the other day and came up with this card using a masking technique.  I used pool party and sahara sand ink to sponge the background.

The hedgehogs were stamped on soft suede card stock.

Pretty simple card but I like how it turned out....next time I might stamp the hedgehogs on crumb cake card stock so they are not quite so dark.

2-01-2017- Crazy Dogs Stamp Set. . . Have a doggone great day!

I recently purchased the Crazy Dogs stamp set which I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE.....did I say I Love it?  LOL!

The playful images with the expressive faces make me smile every time!!

I wanted a Tim Holtz rays mask as well,  but could not find one in stock anywhere locally or online,  so I got out my Cameo and made myself one out of acetate.....and I am mighty pleased with how it turned out.  And the fact I saved myself $17.95 is a bonus too!
