TSC0515, Barbecue Style

Hi Everyone....So nice now to hear the birds sing, the grass turning green, and warm outside...to nice to be hear posting...

I have a card here done for a few reasons....
Birthday, Father`s Day, barbeque in the backyard day...

But....this card is for our twisted sistah challenge, and that is to make a card to do with summer activities you did as a kid... well one of my favorite summer activities was wiener roasts...now its been modernized to grills....(spoils all the fun of an open fire...oh well) anyways....

Happy Birthday Fish Tank....

Hi Everyone...Wow ...another post...sometimes I don't get a post up for weeks, and here got 2 in one day....I must be slipping....lol

I have a card I did for a friend for her boyfriend...He has a fish tank, quite a hobby...so she wanted a card with fish on it...so this is what I came up with....

My daughter send me some DSP with fish on it...So I used that for the BG, and then fussy cut out some of the plants, and some more fish from another scrap piece, and popped them on foam dots...

There is no way I could catch the depth on camera, but it is all popped on foam dots, and I added gravel, shells, etc. on the bottom of the tank...

It did turn out very well....and looked realistic....

Thanks for Looking...this was a fun card to make!!

Don't Fence me In!

Hi Everyone....Time to upload another car card...wonderful 3D kits...and they come with  3 on a card...

I did this card for a fellow at our church....

I cased this from a dear friend and mentor Pat...and this is the card I cased... Pat's is a truck...

This my card....

I changed the truck to a car, the trees are stamped, changed the dsp, kept the layout...

Stamp: SU Trees, 
Paper: Brown, DSP, & Black. and WC for base.
Ink: green for trees and Bashful blue for sky...did a lil roadway with some close to cocoa, but the car hid most of it.

It's A Classic Birthday

Hi Everyone...its good to be back from holidays....was out to B.C. for my granddaughter's Wedding...so good to be back at the card making again...

This is a card I did for a fellow from our church who loves cars..and puts together models...I bought some 3D car making kits...and do they ever work wonderfully...I saw this idea of a car going through a wall...Here's  the link .\

I changed the car, DSP, made a wall from my EF and brayered black in on the red DSP...and it sure turned out realistic....the EF wasn't wide enough..so did it twice, thats why there is a break in the wall...but it looks realistic, so left it that way...

 
I glued the back end of the car into the break...which I tried to tear, but was too think a paper, so then I had to try to cut it, and rolled it back, the front end is on 3 Foam dots, but then the car is also 3D too..so that just adds more depth.

Now here its really jumping out at you....I love this wall effect...


Recipe:
Stamps: Happiest Birthday Wishes (for Sentiment)
Paper: 3D card punch out, WC for base, Black, Red, Red DSP, 
Ink: Stazon for sentiment, Basic Black on the brayer on the EF, 
Accessories: SU Punch for the sentiment, Foam dots, black pearls on the sentiment (which I forgot to put on, but will now)lol, and LOVE...

Thanks for looking

I have a card here I did for our Twisted Sistah's Challenge:

This is for my son...who has a birthday this weekend...I'm not sure I like the colour choice, 

 I got my burlap from my DD in our Anniversary parcel, and was so excited so wanted to layer some on the card, so tried to dye it blue....and it didn't turn out like I planned...but one can see a splotch of blue....

Hi Everyone...Blessings to all...

I have a card I did for our Pastor of our church...and I combined 2 sets, Both from the ODBD site:  I also did it in my famous easel card Technique...been doing alot of them lately...

This is the card...  

 I love doing these with the sand and shells and rocks...its alot of fun...getting glue on your hands, desktop, paper(not always where its suppose to go)...lol

 
 I stamped the sea twice...but used a mask, just so I got the grass twice, had an anchor button...and not sure that was a good place for it....I don't see the ship...lol, the happy birthday sentiment is the only thing not ODBD.

I thought the verse was so good for our Pastor...letting him know Jesus is always guiding him, all he has to do is call on him!

Let's Roll - TSC0208, TSC0215, ODBDSLC141,

Hello Everyone...Welcome to my world... and all my joys...which I love to share...

I did a card here for 3 challenges, One of which I was too late to qualify for, and that was the ODBD challenge to Case a friend, or someone you admire...I cased Bloomsinabox (aka- Pat Smethers) and this is her card I cased.

And the two challenges for the Twisted sisters was...to use a stamp you hadn't inked yet, (last weeks) and  this weeks is to use the colours of Red/White/Black, and a pearl or pin ( I used brads)

This is my card..... 

Its a birthday card for one of the dad's at church....and He loves big wheels, and I found out he and a few friends are going to a big wheels races in the city for his birthday!  so wow...what a coincidence! I didn't realize all this when I made the card...I was just using my new stamp from ODBD.

I started out with making the clouds with a torn piece of paper towel,and bashful blue ink,  then with another torn piece of paper towel, I endeavored to make some ground....then stamped the trees,
and then sponged a little in places...then coloured the truck, and cut it out. I think it all worked out pretty good, and I hope the young father likes it!!

 
 Recipe:
Stamp Set: ODBD Special Boy, and SU Lovely as a Tree.
Paper: Heavy CS for base, Black, White, Copic Express it ( for truck,) 
Ink: Copics, SU Close to Cocoa, Chocolate Chip, Olive Green, and Artichoke for the trees.

I did a second card for the challenge, not sure which one I like the best....

 I changed it up a bit.....tried to show more lake, less grass, and a little more snow..changed the verse...added a few birds...

Thanks for looking...Blessings & Hugs






This is my take on the Challenge Titled:

"First Snow"

 

First I sponged the sky on Express it paper with a torn paper towel, and SU bashful blue ink:

I Used two sets for the scenery, Keep climbing, & Fathers Day, the sentiment is from the add on set to Keep Climbing - called Mountains.

Then  I stamped the mountains once, then slid it over and used my stamp a  ma jig, to position and stamped a little more mountains in SU Not Quite Navy, then I stamped the Moose, coloured and cut it out,and then popped it up with foam tape, and placed on a few leaves...I tried to make it blend in to look like a lake in the BG.  I don't have my green flower soft yet, so tried to use green felt, and flowery flower soft to make like the edge of the lake, and still a few flowers left before the snow covered them....its so sad...we already have snow at our place, and my flowers are all gone...

This card went to a fellow who is battling cancer: And the friend who gave it to him, thought the verse was very fitting!!

The verse is the first one:

Recipe:
ODBD Stamp sets used:  Keep Climbing, Father's Day, Mountain
Paper: Heavy Manga for Base, Not Quite Navy, Black, Copic Express it( for Copic colouring)
Ink: Copics, Stazon Black for sentiment, Bashful Blue for (Sponging the Sky),
Accessories: Paper towel, Flower soft, Green Flocking, Spellbinders Foliage 2, MS leaf Punch, Foam Tape, Liquid Glue, & Love.

This is my take on the Challenge.....I did do fall colours...but combined it with a much needed birthday card, so that was my verse.

 What an awesome fun card to do....there is no way the camera could cover the depth of this card....

I started with the card base, and added SU Cajaun Craze, which I ran through the Big shot with the EF wood folder, and had added chocolate chip on the Ef with a stamp pad, by swiping the pad on the EF. 

EF is Embossing Folder.

Then I took cardboard, and spritzed gold Mist, on it and rubbed chocolate chip on it after, and laid that  under the Curry, swiped with chocolate chip, CS which I ran through the EF.

I stamped and painted the frame...cut it out and laid on the Birthday greeting...added the ribbon, leaves & the flower...

I finally got to use these bright orange flowers...yahhh...good for fall!!

 And the orange ribbon...yahhhh, been saving it for something special....like a fall card!!

Recipe:
ODBD Stamp Sets: Sweet friendship & Birthday Blessings
Paper: Cajuan Craze, Curry, Chocolate Chip, White, 
Ink: Copics, Chocolate Chip, 
Accessories: Prima orange flower, orange ribbon, Ms leaf punch, cardboard, EF, Big shot, foam tape, liquid glue, & glue gun, friskars scissors & love.
