Falalalala-lala-lala!

Hi there 🙂 With all the bustle of Christmas, I somehow got my dates messed up, and I thought this was the first Sunday in December, but nope!! Good thing I have a bunch of amazingly talented team mates to inspire you for this month’s challenge at the Ching-Chou Kuik Facebook group!! Our theme this month is “Celebration”, which really gives you a lot of choices, but I opted to stick with the season (because I need more Christmas cards!) and make this one, featuring Aurora Woods, from the Ching-Chou Kuik Etsy store. I colored her up with my Copics, adding some Northern Lights in the background, before die cutting the image out.

I layered her on a printed background paper, with white, die cut trees, and a piece of burlap. I then cut out the sentiment and positioned it slightly overlapping the image. I took a white gel pen and added a bit of snow to the background as a finishing touch 🙂

Christmas Cutie

Hi there! A new ATG challenge has started on Creative Fingers Challenge Blog. This time, we’re being sponsored by LeAnns World 101.

I used the image “Chelsea” for the card I made. I colored her with Copics, then fussy cut her out. I embossed 2 pieces of white paper with 2 different polka dot embossing folders, then separated them with a stamped and die cut panel. A few Christmassy gems, and multiple mats finish this card off. I hope to see you over at Creative Fingers, as we love to see all the lovely creations that are entered!!!

Trim the Tree

Hello 🙂 We’re already into December, and the holidays are quickly approaching. The Aurora Wings Challenge Blog is keeping with the season with the current challenge theme

No automatic alt text available.

It’s the Aurora Team’s turn to inspire you today 🙂

I made a couple of tree decorations, using the adorable Kitty In Stocking, available exclusively HERE at AuroraWings.com, and the equally cute Yorkie in Stocking, available HERE in the Etsy store, and HERE at AuroraWings.com. I printed both images out twice, in mirror image, and colored them with my Copics. After fussy cutting them out, I glued them back to back, with a thread running from between the two, so the image could spin within the wooden frames. I painted the frames with Christmas colored acrylic paint, then mixed some chunky silver glitter with the gloss top coat to finish them. After hanging the cute little critters, I added a small white bow to each side of the two ornaments 🙂

I hope you can join us with some of your holiday themed creations. Check out both of the Aurora Wings stores – HERE and HERE (Etsy) – for some great deals on amazing images to give your creativity a boost!!

Merry Poinsettia

Hello 🙂 I hope that those of you that celebrated Thanksgiving a few days ago had a fabulous day, and if you were looking to find deals on Black Friday, that came to fruition as well 🙂 I guess there’s no avoiding the fact that Christmas is coming, now that we have all the other holidays out of the way!!! I made this card, featuring one of the gorgeous digital images from Power Poppy. I printed Poinsettia and Pomegranates up with light lines, and colored it with my Copics.

I hummed and hawed a bit over the layout and design, but with such a stunning image, wanted to keep things rather simple and elegant. I stamped and embossed a gold sentiment, then scattered some more gold powder around the image and embossed. I die cut a bottom border in both the image and the underlying green print paper, before adhering it to a white card blank. The bonus with this card is that it’s flat, great for mailing (if our postal strike ever ends).

Best Place to Be

Good morning 🙂 Time for another challenge at the Sheepski Designs Facebook Group!! Every month, our challenge is ATG with an optional theme. This month, the theme is Baby It’s Cold Outside! I was contemplating a few different things for my project, with none of them really getting me too excited. Then, during a bit of a cold snap here, and on a day off, I was snuggled up in my onesie, reading a book, with my pup, Java, cuddled up against me, and I thought, “this is the perfect way to spend a cold day!” The rest is history 🙂

I used the adorable image “Lucky” (which, coincidentally, is the name of 2 of my childhood doggos), that can be found here in the Sheepski Etsy store. I printed him off with the sentiment, then colored him with my Copics. I added a few white gel pen snowflakes around the sentiment before cutting the bookmark out with a stitched fishtail die. I used some of my hoard of embroidery floss to make the tassel and the tail. I wish I didn’t have to work today, as it’s cold and guess where I’d rather be??? 🙂

Snowflake Angel

Hi there 🙂 It’s already Sunday, and time for my third inspiration piece for the current challenge at the Ching-Chou Kuik Facebook group. This month, our theme is Christmas…..as it’s getting very close, and hopefully your stacks of Christmas cards are getting bigger 🙂 I used the gorgeous image Northern Blessings, found in the Etsy store. After coloring her up in some non-traditional colors, I added white gel pen, and sparkle accents to her jewelry, wings and the snowflake.

I fussycut/die cut her out, and set it aside while I distressed the edges of the PERFECT print paper, and some Coredination paper. I layered everything up, tucking some die cut snowflakes, that I enhanced with glitter, to peek out from under the printed layer. I die cut the sentiment from gold glitter paper, then added a sparkly bow to balance the card out.

Christmas Mermaid

Hi there!!! Wow, it’s been a crazy week. Even the crazy weeks have their high points, and one of mine was this image!!! I had made a suggestion to Mitzi a while back for a Christmas Mermaid. This stunner was the result!!!!! Wow!!! She is a gift with purchase for this weekend, when you spend a minimum of $7 at either the Aurora Wings store, or the Aurora Wings Etsy store.

Image may contain: 1 person, text

I colored her a few days ago, but it wasn’t until today that I had the opportunity to make her into a card (refer back to crazy week). I colored her with my Copics, adding some accents with white gel pen and a clear sparkle gel pen.

I kept the design simple, sticking with papers in traditional Christmas colors, and adding a stamped sentiment, some touches with die cut foil paper, and some green gems. This is a short and sweet post today…..be sure to grab this sweetie as a gift while you can!!!!

Holly Angel

Hello 🙂 It’s already the second Sunday of November, where does that time go?? As it’s Sunday, it’s my turn for an inspiration post for the current Ching-Chou Kuik Facebook challenge. Our theme is Christmas, and there are some absolutely gorgeous Christmas images available in Ching-Chou’s Etsy store. I used Holly Angel for today’s card. I colored her up with my Copic markers…..then got totally lost as to what to do!!!

I kept coming back to this little miss for almost a week, and every time I went to create something, all my ideas took flight!!! It’s like I’ve never made a card before in my life!!! With time running out, I had to do something!! I die cut a frame for her to be leaning out of, and was lucky enough to have a piece of holly print paper, that was perfect for the background! After stamping a sentiment, the card still needed something. I like to keep most of my Christmas cards flat, as a great majority of them are mailed. The handy old white gel pen came to the rescue for finishing this card. I drew in a border of stitching, doubling up in the one corner for balance. This card is nice and flat for easy mailing with it’s CAS design 🙂

Twins!

Hi there!! One last card for me today. I got an order on the weekend for a baby card….for twins. The expectant parents had opted NOT to find out the genders before the births, so it had to be a gender neutral card. And – of course I had NOTHING in my collection that fit the bill for the quickie order. My coloring mojo just wasn’t there, and since I didn’t have time to wait for it to reappear, I had to go scrounging through some of my other crafting supplies. Nothing was really speaking to me until I came across a sheet of Winnie the Pooh print paper that I’ve been hoarding for at least 10 years. No matter, because Winnie is timeless, and genderless, and epitomizes childhood 🙂 I cut out a piece of the sheet, which is printed with blocks of the Pooh character’s faces. I matted it with white, then die cut the word TWINS, and some baby themed icons. I arranged everything on a pretty yellow background that I’d edged with white dots made with a gel pen. I finished the card with a piece of the same printed paper and a computer generated sentiment on the inside 🙂

Thanksgiving Dahlia

Hello 🙂 I don’t make a lot (ok, usually none) of Thanksgiving cards, but since I was invited over to my friends for Thanksgiving this year, I had to take a card. This Dahlia digital stamp from Power Poppy caught my eye from the first time I saw it! I printed it off in the no-lines version and colored it in with my Copics. I had the burlap “paper” for some time, and since I wanted this card to be fairly rustic and natural, I figured that this was the card to use it on. I layered a die cut piece of kraft CS, with a stamped and embossed sentiment and matted with black over the burlap. After fussy cutting the dahlia, I popped it off to the side of the card with some foam tape. I added a sprinkling of coordianating sequins to finish this card off 🙂
