QKR Stampede Cat and Dog

As a guest designer for 2 Crafty Critter Crazies this month I was provided with the image of a cat and dog by QKR Stampede.

I used Prismacolor Alcohol Ink Markers for coloring the image.  Used My Favorite Things stencil, Staggered Paw Prints to make the background.  The sentiment is from Lawn Fawn Meow You Doin'.  The ink and colored paper is Soft Suede from Stampin' Up.

Making cards on vacation in Alaska

Went to visit my friend, Clara Jo Minnick, in Anchorage, Alaska.  While we were there we went to a stamping store in the town of Palmer, just an hour away.  The owner, Jeanne Perkins, is a delight and has lots of fun stamps and papers for sale.  Best of all, Jeanne has lots of ideas that she is willing to share.  Aren't crafters the best.  She has classes several times each week to accommodate most everyone.  While I visited, we made two trips to Stamp Cache Alaska.  Put her contact info at end of post.  Her website: www.stampcachealaska.com 

One makes three card designs each class:

The one above has glitter added using stickles.

The pin wheel is multiple pieces of paper and a brad in center.

This one has a product the makes fruit glisten.

At the next class we made cards with buttons. Of course Clara Jo and I had to make those cards:

Teddy Bears by Sheep Ski Designs

I have been honored with the opportunity to be a guest designer for 2 Crafty Critter Crazies.  This is the design I made for the first month.  The digital image was provided by the sponsor: Sheep Ski Designs.

I made the frame from Spellbinders, with some adjustment.
The flowers were using 5114D Mini Flower Stack Die by Rubbernecker Stamps.
The background was created using two stencils (mini clouds and grass) from My Favorite Things. I colored the digi image using Prismacolor Pencils.

I hope you enjoy this one.

Believe in Fairies with Lavinia Stamps

I believe in Fairies.

I used Lavinia stamps for the fairy sitting in the moon and for the word Believe.  The background is made by me doing some experimenting with marbling paper.  Added some more texture using a stamp from a Stampin Up set.

I am entering a challenge on the Lavina World Challenges

Creative fold card and daisy punch to decorate.

Thursday, June 27, 2019 I went to a Stampin Up Class presented by Sandra Grimes in Dade City.  We made four cards, two designs. We used the Daisy Lane stamp set and the two sizes of daisy punch.  The first one:

This is the outside of the card with a belly band.




This is the inside of the card when it is opened.


If you would like to learn to do this card, go into Facebook and look for "Sandi's Creative Connection.  The June 18th edition.

Our second design:

Marbling with Karen Burniston and Stampin' Up

Hi, and welcome to my brand new blog. I belong to a small swap group that exchanges cards each month with a specific challenge topic.  June's topic is marbled paper.

For this card, I used a collection of DSP marbled paper from Stampin' Up to have the look of water and shore with palm tree and the sunshine. Used Stampin' Up Mossy Meadow to color the palm fronds.  The sky is done with My Favorite Things Stencil Mini Clouds and Stampin' Up ink Bermuda Bay. The die cut is by Karen Burniston, 1038 Tropical Scene.

Then I re-read the challenge, and realized it said marbled background.

I used a stamp from the Stampin' Up Good Morning Magnolia.  Background is marbled DSP from Stampin' Up.  The stamp was colored with Prismacolor Premium Pencils.
