A Fluffles Birthday

This card was made for the Mojo Monday challenge over at Poetic Artistry, she always has such cute sketch challenges. Fluffles was stamped in black and water colored, then glitter was added for pizazz. A Cuttlebug folder was used at the bottom of the card to match the polka dots on the gift box.

Sunday night my husband and I voted by absentee ballot, here he is reading up on some of the propositions. Voting is very time consuming but well worth it! If you're in the U.S. be sure to get out and vote to let your opinion be known.

Halloween Fluffles

Halloween is right around the corner and you never know if you might need a Halloween card, I never have but they are fun to make! This card is totally cased, I remember seeing it on one of the many blogs that I have visited but sorry can't remember where :( What I love about it was all of the white without a bunch of different prints, sometimes when we make cards we forget simple can be nice. The stamps and stickers are by Stampendous and the image is colored with watercolor pencils.
That's all for now, time to go clean the house!

Inspire

I have this great decorative paper and thought I would design a card around it. This Fluffles stamp hadn't been used for a while, so it was time to dust it off! The image is colored with watercolor pencils and the snail and flowers have Crystal Lacquer on them to give them dimension and shine.

Well I finally got the last of my Christmas cards mailed out yesterday! I hate waiting til the last minute so my New Years Resolution will be to make a few Christmas cards each month and maybe even address a few envelopes while I'm at it. That would take a lot of pressure off and I'd have more time to just enjoy the holidays :)
One thing I did do this year that has really helped is wrap the presents before Christmas Eve! There are only a few more to wrap and that will get done this weekend.

I wish you all a Merry Christmas and a happy and safe New Year!

Happy Birthday

We are celebrating my brother-in-laws birthday at the Cheesecake Factory on Sunday, so when I made his birthday card, I thought I would use the SCS Sketch Challenge layout! Now I need to make a card for my sister-in-law (my husbands sister) and her son, my nephew. All of their birthdays are about six days apart! This makes for a very busy and expensive month. So for Tom's card I had to pick colors that could be manly (not always my favorites) but I'm happy with how this turned out. I stamped Fluffles with brown ink, heat set and used my watercolor pencils. Love my pencils, they are one of those things I can't do without :) Glitter glue was added to the bow and dots.

Coal Again?

This card is a combination of two challenges at SplitCoastStampers, SC153 the sketch challenge and WT143 Ways To Use It challenge which is to use tape of any kind on your card. I used red liner tape on the panel under the stamped image and sprinkled it with brown glitter.
I stamped Fluffles on a white square with VersaFine, heat set it and colored it with watercolor pencils. I then applied Crystal Lacquer to the ornaments and glitter glue to the top of the stocking. Since I am way behind on making my Christmas cards, I decide to make one.
