Happy Card Maker

Saturday, October 29, 2011

I had to get a start on my "Christmas Cards". I only have about twenty (20) made so far, so this one will make 21.
This card is from a "Close to My Heart" stamp set call "Snow Days". It a cute stamp set as you can see from the link to my store. For this card I used the house. Here is the card I came up with;

"Snow Days"

And here is a better view of the house it's self.

"Close Up"

The image was colored with Copic markers.

The snow effect on the image was created with a "Marvy Snow Marker". I like this snow pen alot better than then "Liquid Applique", because the Marvy marker can be heat set after only 15 minutes. The Liquid Applique needs to dry over night.

The snowflakes I used a "Martha Stewart" punch that I cut out of silver paper that I ran through the Cuddlebug with the Swiss Dots embossing folder.

All and all, I am pretty satisfied with the card, but the important thing is what is your opinion?

It seems like I have gotten off on a flower kick. At least coloring them with my Copic markers. As you all should realize by now Copics is my favorite coloring medium. It is so fast and easy to color with and the color selection is outstanding, over 300 colors.

After coloring the image I cut out the mats using a Spellbinder die set "Labels Eight", in different sizes. The two bottom mats where embossed using a Sizzix embossing folder. They were then colored using direct to paper with an ink pad.

A little ink was stippled onto the body of the card. Then I added some "Liquid Pearls" as embelishment.

Hope you like todays card and will leave a comment. All comments are appreciated and posted.

Have a GREAT DAY!!!

It's been a little hectic with the move to the new company that I am now demonstrating for, but I think I have most everything figured out.

I have been making quit a few cards but mostly for gatherings. So, I have not been sitting idle all of this time.


The card that I am posting today is from a set from my old company. I called the card "Wait for Me". Here is the card;
