"Bring a Smile Card"

Monday, April 18, 2011


Quite often I send card to friends, for no special reason. The purpose of the card is to let them know that I am thinking of them. The main reason is to bring a smile to thier face. If I can make someone smile or laugh, it makes my day.


The card for the day is just such a card;


"Smile Card"



Both the image and the sentiment stamp are from "The Angel Company". The image is from a set called "Funny Farm" T-3115 and the sentiment is from the set "Funny Farm Phrases" T-3125. Great stamps and sentiments, if you like the comical.


The card is a very simple card, so I don't have a lot of chatter about it.


Hope it bring a smile to your day. Your comments are always appreciated.


Have a GREAT DAY!!!

"Pick Me Up"

Wednesday, March 2, 2011

It's still playing at spring time here. It's to the point were I don't know whether to wear a short sleeve shirt or a long one. So, I keep one of each out. Oh, well it's that time of the year.
Todays card is unusual for me because it's a 5 1/2" square card. Normally I only make standard size cards because I'm to cheap to pay the extra postage.

The image used for todays card is from "The Angel Company" it is called "Furry Friends #T-03245". It's a cute set which contains four small images and four sentimnts. Here is the results;



"Pick Me Up"


The diecuts where done with a Spellbinder die called "Fleur De Lis Pendant". I was used to cut two mats in lavender and light green. The background paper used is from "K&Company". I love the glitter on it.A little sponging was done on the light green mat with lavender ink. And the bow was tied with my new best friend the "Bow Easy".

Because there is not much coloring to this image, so, I would classify it as a quick card.

Hope you enjoy todays card and will leave a comment.

Have a GREAT DAY!!!

"Waiting for ther New Year"

Tuesday, December 28, 2010


Well, Christmas is over. The only thing left to do is stand in the returns lines, which is long and boring. I decided to skip that annual tradition and keep everything that I recieved. So, look out there might be some re-gifting.

The image I used for todays card is from "The Angel Company". It is the larger version of a stamp that I used previously. It is called "Who Loves Ya" TA-3324.The image resembles a "Magnolia" image.

Here is my rendition of the stamped image;


"Waiting for the New Year"


I of course used my Copic makers to color the image. The colors used were;
Face; E0000,E000, E00
Dress; R83,R85,R87
Bench; B01,B05 C1,C3
Hair; Y23,YR23,E13
The background papers used on this card are from a set called "Miss Moxie" from "The Angel Company". Very pretty paper setr and coordinates quite well. The base for the card is a heavy weight card stock in a dark brow from "The Angel Company".The flowers are from a small can of flowers that are from "Prima". I added a few stickles, of course, every card has to have some Stickles.
That's about all for now. Hope all of your return lines are short.
Please leave a comment if you enjoy this card. Your comments are always appreciated an welcome.
Have a GREAT DAY!!!

"Happy Harvest"

Saturday, September 25, 2010

Well, according to the calendar it's fall. We have not seen much of a change in the temperature, but if the calendar says it's fall, IT'S FALL.

The card I am presenting today, is a stamp set from "The Angel Company" called "Hedgehog Happiness". The stamped image is actually made up of three of the eleven images included in the set. The set includes to make cards for a number of holidays, including Valentines Day, Christmas, Easter, and Spring. Great set, and very flexible set.

I have made the card as a Fall or Halloween card;


"Happy Harvest"




First I stamp the hedgehog with the wagon, then the pumpkins in the wagon. I cut a mask to cover the wagon and pumpkins and stamped the trees. The image was stamped on Cryogen paper, my favorite, and colored with Copic markers. The colors I used were;

  • Hedgehog; E11,E13,C0,C3
  • Wagon; B01,B02,B04
  • Pumpkin; YR02, YR07
  • Trees; YG09,YG07YG67

After the image was colored I added "Crystal Glaze" to the pumpkins. You can see this in the picture. A little silver glitter pen was added to the hub caps on the wagon and on the tree. I used a Copic multiliner black poen to add the spikes to the fur of the hedgehog. The copper glitter dot are from "Jesse James"

It's a bright cheerful card and I hope you enjoy it.

Your comments are always welcome and appreciated.

Have a GREAT DAY!!!

"Joy, Found"

Monday, August 30, 2010
Well, with renovations on a brief hold until my wife decides what she wants done next, I am back to my first love, CARD MAKING.

The card I have choosen today is a card that I made for a card swap. I made about four cards, but could only enter one. This image is from a stamp set from "The Angel Company" called "Joy, Found". It's a very cute image and reminds me of my child hood. My mother would have fits when I would bring them home. Happy moments.

This is the finished card;


"Joy, Found"


The image was colored with Copic Markers, mainly in the blue and green range. I used the following colors;

Skin; E000,E01, R20
Shirt; Y13,YG09
Pants: B00,B01,B04
Frogs; YG21,YG07,YG05
Water; BG01,BG05,BG07

A lot of blending was required on the water, but it all came together. The image was stamped on my favorite paper, Cryogen Iridescent White. I love this paper for it sparkle that it has. A few Green Stickles was added for more sparkle.

Hope you enjoy my efforts and your comments are always welcome.

Have a GREAT DAY!!!

"Dreams"

Wednesday, July 7, 2010

Good Morning Everyone;

The card I have posted today is from a set from "The Angel Company". The set is called "Precious Girls" it is a discontinued set, but I like it so much that I have hung on to it. I did one other card from this set that I posted awhile back called " Wait for Me". I love the set and the many ways that it can be configured.

"Dreams"





The papers used for this card were all from "The Angel Company". The card was colored with Prisma-Color pencil, have to keep in practice . I used some mini green brads to decorate the elements of the card. The flowers on the image where colored with Spica pens to give a little glitter, although you can't see it in the picture it's there. The image was cut out in a random pattern and attached to the card with popdots.

The mats behind the image were cut to size, then I measured up 1.00" on one side and cut from th corner to the mark. It gives a nice and unusual mat.

Hope you enjoy my efforts. Your comments are always welcome and appreciated.

Have a GREAT DAY!!!

I have made a little change to my blog, nothing you can see, but behind the scene. When leaving comments, Google will no longer ask you for Word Verification. The comments are on Moderate, which means that comments must be approved by me prior to them being posted to the blog. I will accept all comments and post them. I am just trying to filter out the Junk, and make it easier to post comments



Today I have posted a Birthday Card that I call "PARR-fect Day". It was colored with Copic Markers. The set is from a discontinued stamp set from "The Angel Company" called "Fore". The completed card is made up of four of the images from the stamp set, they are the golfer,golf cart,the green area, and the word "Fore". The Golfer was stamped first, then masked , and the Golf Cart was stamped over it.


After the image was colored with the Copic Markers, the image was nibbled around using a corner punch called "Grass".
