Flip Cupcake Shaker Card...Place the Cherry in the Hole

This was a fun card to make...I was thinking of those fun little round games, where you try and put the marble in the hole...smiles...I ended up doing a few changes after the camera shut off...haha...like put the ribbons on, add  a SU shaker cup on the top, instead of the acetate...needed the height...added glitter, and more Stickles. Oh yes, Perfect Pearls too...It turned out even cuter than I expected...I will post some pics....It was such a busy day for me today, I was shocked I had time to even do a card!..lol
I thought I would do a GIVEAWAY...If you would leave me a comment about any of the cards I have posted, I will place your name in a bowl, and Friday, I'll pull a name, and mail you 3 of my cards with matching envelopes!...Nothing much, but, it might be fun to get a few cards in the mail, with no writing on it!!!.....lol...lol...Thanks as always for taking the time to view my Blog......Enjoy!

Trying to get my hidden supplies, OUT IN THE OPEN!!!

I was watching " The Frugal Stamper ", and saw some neat idea's she had for her craft space. I always say, " anything hidden away, seldom gets used "!... This was just a little idea I came up with tonight, to get some of my pencil crayons, markers, pens...etc. OUT IN THE OPEN!...I find that I use my supplies more, if I can see them, and reach them! Don't you agree?...smile ...I have STAMP AND STORAGE UNITS, that house my SU Inks, matching Markers, right beside the Inks, the re-inker's beside those, and it stores my Stickle's, and Liquid Pearls in the same units. I use STAMP and STORAGE UNITS for all my Copics as well. This company is reasonably priced, and wonderful craftsmen ship too! Well, I was looking for a marker I had for outlining some Calligraphy tonight, and had to go through my drawers to find where they were housed. It was very neat, but, hidden from view, so , like I say all the time, " out of sight, out of mind "...I then remembered these SU Marker cases I had stacked on my small table. You know the ones the SU Markers are delivered in?...I had the STAMP and STORAGE for them to go in, and had the plastic cases just sitting there, ready to be turned into something " ORGANIZATIONAL"! ...LOL Needless to say, with a little Washi Tape, and a whole lot of supplies needing a home...THEY FOUND THIS!!!...haha ENJOY....

Chalk City Glowing Lights Technique

I saw this technique done by " Understanding Blue " on Splitcoast Stamper's today. I thought Lydia did a wonderful job showing this, so, I had to try it too!  I made the houses from this thin foam I bought at our dollar store some time ago. The foam gave the houses the dimension it needed, without having to use foam dots. If you view the finished cards below, you will see I outlined the window's with silver liquid pen. I liked the effect of the silver pen,  because it seemed to make the window's pop. I outlined the inside roof shingles with black marker, to stand out as well. This was a FUN way to use some of the chalk I have hibernating in my desk drawer!...smiles  Drop by SCS to see this technique so creatively used on another card. I think you will have loads of fun creating your own little CITY OF GLOWING LIGHTS!

Dryer Sheet SHADOW Technique

This is what came from a total mishap on my other dryer sheet Dazzling Diamond Technique, that went in a total other direction....Plan B I like to call my little mishaps...lol....please enjoy this card, and try it as a texture piece on your next project. The look of this card is truly stunning in real life...smiles...Never get discouraged when a PLAN B moment happens in your create moments!....I love being pushed out of the box, so to speak, and given an opportunity to see if I can turn things around....haha...Enjoy, and I sincerely thank each person that stops by my Craft Room, to spend some  paper crafting time with me. May The Lord BLESS all my American friends, with a wonderful Thanksgiving Day tomorrow ...I LOVE TURKEY ...I may have to celebrate your THANKSGIVING too!!!....Every day, should be in a THANKFUL day, for all The Lord has done for us, I never will cease to LOVE Him....God Bless

Looking into our backyard this morning ...reminded me of God's beauty in action...WINTER'S here.

Dryer Sheet Reversed Stamping Technique

This technique came to me by trial and error...literally!  LOL  The actual technique was for me to stamp an image on white card stock, then add the dryer sheet on top of the image, add Dazzling Diamonds to the dryer sheet, after it was spray glued to the card!!!...Sounds simple enough??? Not if you're me...hahaha...I have to always, on very short notice, had to come up with a Plan B, for when my project doesn't go as planned...haha. Such was the case with this card today! Turns out, I love my PLAN B, much better than PLAN A....I say all this, because PLAN B inspired the next card I'm downloading for you. Isn't it something how we can take a dryer sheet, and creat a beautifully textured card? I love this CREATIVE CRAFTING, don't you? SMILE

Vellum Vintage Baby Card

Thank you once again for visiting me in my Craft Room. This is a card I am making for my BFF's daughter Hannah, who is expecting her FIRST baby....A LITTLE GIRL!....I love nothing more, than to surround myself with PINK! I decided to make a BEVELED VINTAGE VELLUM CARD. Say that 3 times fast...hahaha I wanted to make this card in one video, but, with so many elements having to be made, I found it impossible to stay within my time limit....smiles....I hope you enjoy the process with me. There was a vellum card on Pinterest that I liked, so ....it started the wheels in my head turning around making this different style card. You will see what I mean in the next video...lol...I had so many ideas, it was hard to keep the card from being covered completely...haha! I usually make my beveled cards out of Acetate. The Vellum though, took to the beveled look wonderfully. I was pleased how the end result turned out. I also made a matching envelope to make it COMPLETE!
Please enjoy!

The COMPLETED Water Coloured Card....Part 2

I am by no means an authority on any type of colouring, whether with Copics, or Water Colours....I just love colouring. Each image I colour, I seem to learn what to do to improve, and of course, what not to do...lol .  I find colouring soothing. It brings back the child in us all...I love to watch other  video blogs, where the person colouring, actually knows what works, and what doesn't!...smiles
The more practice we put in, the more confident we get bringing our colouring to a higher level of expertise ...I haven't come close to that yet, haha, but, I keep trying!!!...If we enjoy what we are doing, we are relaxed with the process....so, just RELAX, and ENJOY ....I'm still learning....SMILES

Stamping Bella Vintage Christmas Card....Water Colours

Thank you for joining me in my Craft Room today....I decided to do a Stamping Bella image today, using water colour pencils, Copics, Tim Holtz markers, and inks.  Adding many layers to a card really gives it a Vintage look, which I really like! I decided to do a part 2, because I was unable to complete the colouring process. I know when I watch video's, I like to see the whole process of the construction of a card....I don't care how many parts I have to watch.....lol....I just want to see the whole process....This was the reason for adding a part 2, so I can show you the water coloured image coloured completely....Smiles..... Please Enjoy!

Home Made Lace Glitter Paper

Thank  you for dropping by my Craft Room today. If you want to find ways to use us some of your glitter, this is a gorgeous way to do it.  If you're  like me, you have  many containers of glitter, and need some idea's on how to use them. I did a video some time ago showing this technique, and thought I'd use this wonderful technique in a card today. With many bolts of wide lace also, I needed to use both LACE,  and GLITTER in a card project !...smiles....I think you will come up with many ways to use this LACE PAPER as well.  Have yourself a BLESSED weekend!...Enjoy

Part 2 of 2 ...Watercolour Church in the Wildwood Card

I changed some of the stamping to give this card a more vivid appearance. In the end, I think it came out just the way I visioned it.....BEAUTIFUL!......SMILES

Watercolour Technique .....Church in the Wildwood Card......Part 1 of 2

Thank you for joining me in my Craft Room today! This Whiff of Joy Church Stamp is absolutely beautiful, and it really set the scene of a "Church in the Wildwood". There were many elements to this card, starting with the fussy cutting on 81/2 x 11  Post It Note sheets,  I stamped the image on.  I used SU's "Lovely As A Tree"  Stamp Set, stamping all images first with Versa Mark, then adding to it some clear embossing powder, then,  positioning my Stamp-a-ma Jig over the clear embossed Church image, I  placed the Stayzon black ink directly on top.  Using the fussy cut Church "Post It Note" image, to set it on the stamped image, as I stamped the trees in the background. Water colouring with Tim Holtz Markers, really set the images in place using the Strathmore Water colour paper. I used Tombo Mono Multi CLEAR glue to adhere the snow glitter to the ground spaces. The roof of the Church was cut from a piece of water colour paper,  embossed with Tim Holtz "BRICK" embossing folder,  I glued it to the existing roof,  for a more 3 dimensional brick look. To add to the Christmas winter scene.  Adding the Appliqué , when heated with the heat tool, puffs up to a wonderful realistic snow affect.  Unfortunately, this card had to go into a 2 Part Video, but, the end result for me, was worth going into another part.....SMILES...I loved making this card, and filming it for you today. I hope you will watch the completion of it!......  Enjoy!

Matching Envelope for the Vellum Card....a definite REMAKE!....LOL

Using the We Are Memory Keepers Punch Board is amazing.....As I was trying to make this envelope, a few problems arose...smiles.....I shouldn't have used so much glue on the insert, causing it to stick too soon....then, I should have used my Stamp Position Tool to place my inside message on the flap, but didn't, so it was a tad slanted...lol....Overall, I will redo this one before mailing it out!!!...Smiles....

Vellum Pink Delight Card

Thank you for joining me in my Craft Room today. I chose to make this Vellum image on pink tissue, and, Black and White backdrop card stock.  Using SU Pretty in Pink card stock, pink specialized tissue,  and Nina K 110 lb. White card stock,  I arranged the pieces to set the Whiff of Joy image apart.  Yellow ribbon, and black brads helped give the front of the card  a pleasing appearance. I used the Martha Stewart Scallop border punch as well.....I placed 2 half back pearls, as well as one medium diamond to round the card off the centre at the bottom of the card.  The pretty matching envelope is currently downloading. Smiles....Enjoy!

The INSIDE Vellum Card....enjoy...Envelope Video as well.....enjoy!

This is the Vellum stamped girl image using Copics........The" HOW I DID IT " Video to follow...smiles
