It is storming here today, so I had time to make this cute card for an injured friend. She sustained an injury while working with horses. So, I couldn’t resist making an I’m sorry …. Feel Better card for the horse to give to her. 😊 The horse is a combination of stamps by Clearly Besotted ( Little Donkey & Magical Plushies). I used Ink on 3 fadeout ink to stamp the donkey. Then it was traced with a 0.5 EK tools writing pen changing the tail, mane and ears to follow the shape from the unicorn in Magical Plushies. The horse was colored with Copic Markers (0,C0,C1,C3,C5). The background is a gel print I made with acrylic paints and a tree stencil. The grass is teal cardstock cut with LawnFawn dies. The sentiment is from a Hero Arts greeting set. The inside is a retired Crafin’ Desert Divas stamp. All embossing was done with Emerald Creek’s Burmese Jade Boho Blends. I have to say, their powders are simply amazing!

The challenges this card will be entered include:

• The Color Throwdown challenge #576
• 2 Crafty Critter Crazies
• Simon Says Stamp: Use A Stencil challenge

Happy Craft Day Y’all

Apparently, I cannot get enough of Tinkerbell these days. 😁 This is my first time using a kraft colored card stock as my base. My color palate is from the color throw down challenge #575: kraft, gold, green, white. The green made me think of Tinkerbell. Tink is wearing her winter wardrobe from Lawn Fawn’s Frost Fairy Friends. She is stamped using Memento black ink and colored with copic markers (YG11,G09,G07, hair: Y00,YR21,Y28). Her snow globe home is from Lawn Fawn’s Ready,Set,Snow Shaker Add On. It’s hard to see but Tink’s wings and the snowglobe’s background are covered in an gold shimmer spray. The sentiment is from Lawn Fawn’s Fairy Friends and embossed with Versamark ink and Emerald Creek’s Apple Martini embossing powder. I LOVE their embossing powders!!! I have owned the fairy stamp sets for some time and just received the Ready, Set, Snow Shaker add on as a Christmas gift. I couldn’t wait to use it! Tinkerbell and the Secret of the Wings is still fresh on my mind, so I used a bit of the old and a bit of the new.

Happy Winter Crafting Y’all!

Warm winter wishes to everyone!

I’m on a trend of CAS cards lately. The AAA cards CAS card lottery for January is Warm Winter Wishes. I used stamps from Lawn Fawn’s Ready Set Snow and some Ranger Archival Ink in sky blue. I tiny bit of Copic coloring (B0000, R00) for the snowman. The ground is Spectrum Noir Fine Glitter in clear. Pretty Simple!. 😁⛄

Stay warm & happy crafing y’all!

A very clean and simple card to share. This is my take on two challanges: the color throwdown challege and the As You Like It Challenge. Tim Holtz supplies were used for the majority of this card. The ink blending used Candied Apple Distressed Oxide and a little bit of masking to create the red block in the center. Then some simple stamping using Tim Holtz’s Mini Boquet stamp set and Memento ink in Rich Cocoa. And, viola, you have a thank you card.

Happy Crafty Weekend Y’all!

Happy New Years Day! Let’s time travel back to the 1950s and watch Karen, Annette and the other Mouseketers on the Mickey Mouse Club! I loved that show ❤️ 🖤 Anyhow, the lovely people over at CAS cards have a challenge with an optional time travel. Y-why, wouldn’t I travel back to vintage Disney?

Here is what was used in making the card. Kindred stamp set Park Cuties. I used the girl holding the teddy bear and altered it a bit. It was stamped with Ink on 3 disappearing ink on Copic paper. This allowed me to alter the stamp to eliminate the bear, change her clothes, add the second pony tail and change the head band into a Micky hat. I selected the Mousketer Karen as she was most often seen with pony tails. Copic markers were used to color Karen. She was cut out with my Scan and Cut. The sentiments used are: “see you real soon” and “Why, because I like you.” They were printed off the using the font Waltograph. The sentiments were inspired by CardCutups on YouTube. He has the most clever puns!! Enjoy

Happy New Year y’all!

Some fall friends having their Thanksgiving in the woods. Clearly Besotted’s Festive Feast made it’s way to the craft room. Some masking and copic coloring created the scene. The background is Lawn Fawn’s birch trees and some Distressed oxide. My 13yo made this card for her crochet teacher as a thank you card this year. Great masking Kat!!

Material used:

• Nina solar white 100lb cardstock
• Clearly Besotted Festive Feast stamps
• Distressed oxide: Carved pumpkin, Mustard Seed
• Lawn Fawn Joy to the Woods
• Lawn Fawn Canned Pumpkin Card Stock

Happy Thanksgiving Y’all!

“When you wish upon a star, Makes no difference who you are, Anything your heart desires, Will come to you.” Jiminy Cricket

Thank you Disney for the memories and SSS and Lawn Fawn for the inspiration. This is definitely a quick and cute card. A little bit of Faded Jeans and a Hero Arts stencil on blue card stock provides the background. A few stars from embossed in white. The moon is created with two round die cuts. The rabbits are die cuts from Lawn Fawn’s Upon A Star and black card stock. Put a frame of glitter black card stock behind it all, and it’s complete.

Happy Thanksgiving Week Y’all!

This card was inspired by the Fusion Card Challenge. I took inspiration from the chalkboard and the gold frame. All of the stamps are from Art Impressions Aged to Perfection set. I drew the blackboard and gold frame on cream colored cardstock. The sentiment is embossed with vintage white powder. A little copic coloring and gold watercolors, at it’s ready to be sent. Thank you for the inspiraiton!!

Happy Card Making Y’all!

It’s that time of year to start making gift tags. This gift tag was inspired by three challenges: As You Like It, Lawnfawnatics and 2 Crafy Critter Crazies. My absolute favorite way to add snow is with a stencil and some texture paste. I used a stencil with varying sizes of circles and some white Ranger texture past on some Christmas card stock. The fox is Lawn Fawn’s Winter Fox simply colored with some Copic markers and then cut with the coordinating die. Some ribbon and foam tape, and it’s ready to sit on top of a package this Christmas. Thank you for the inspiration!!

Happy Christmas Crafting Y’all!

The Lawn Fawn Challenge 65 is fun with Dies. My 13yo daugher was inspired by a recently purchased Lawn Fawn set. I had barely opened my happy mail and she was off the the craft room. She couldn’t resist making a cute Halloween shaker card/snow globe. The Lawn fawn sets used were Ready, Set, Snow. She thought her shaker looked like leaves falling from the trees. Great job Kat!!
