Duff's Birthday







I made this card for my brother for his birthday (I also used the same image for my DH a couple posts ago).  This is Gus Golf by Jodi over at Bugaboo Stamps.  I colored him with copics, glossy accents for his glasses, and cut out with Lawn Fawn large rectangle die.  The layout is for Stella Says Sketch #417 and the October Recipe Challenge at Catch the Bug.  CS from my stash, DP from Doodlebug Designs Happy Harvest 6x6 pad, and golf ball buttons from Embellishment Buttons at Etsy.  I made the indside by importing the image into Silhouette Studio and erasing everything but the flag, then used the Crooked font for the words.  My inspiration for this was from a pin I saw on Pinterest.

QKR Stampede Challenge #214 - Wild West


It's Friday and time for a Wild West challenge at QKR Stampede!  I knew immediately I wanted to use image #16312 Cowboy Pumpkin...but I struggled on what to do for a card!  I searched Pinterest and found one by Tippy Toe Crafts to case. I imported the image into Silhouette Studio, duplicated, flipped around, printed, cut out, and colored with copics. The card is a bendy card by Samantha Walker and the cactus set by Sarah Bailey, both available in the Silhouette Store.  For the sunset, I sprayed a coffee filter with water and then dropped red and yellow food coloring to get this effect. The rope is some twine I had in my stash, mowed lawn distress ink on the green cactus, kraft paper for the card, dark brown cs from my stash, and brown wood paper from Doodlebug Design Happy Harvest 6x6 paper pad.

Stop by QKR Stampede's challenge blog to see the WILD WEST cards my DT sisters have made and join our fabulous challenge!  The prize for
is 2 digital images of your choice, but if you use a QKR image you will win 3 digital images of your choice!  Hope to see you there!

Mark & Carol's 35th Anniversary

Our good friends are celebrating their 35th Anniversary and I thought this was the perfect image for them!  This is Stella and Gus from Bugaboo and can be purchased for $3.00.  I colored them with copics, glossy accents for their glasses, and cut out with Lawn Fawn large stitched rectangle die.   DP from Doodlebug Designs, coral and green cs from Smith Crafts.  I didn't have any matching ribbon, so I colored white ribbon with the same color as her dress, sentiment heat embossed with black embossing powder, gems from The Paper Studio, and walnut stain distress ink.

A traditional gift for 35th anniversary is coral, modern gift is jade, and gem stone is Emerald...how I chose my color pattern.

Becky's Birthday


Today's card is for my daughters birthday, at the end of this month...on Halloween to be exact!  I chose Birdbrain Wine Chick by Faith at From the Heart Stamps.  I colored her with copics, lavender stickles for her eye shadow, Lawn Fawn large stitched rectangle die, and dusty concord distress ink around the edges. The layout is Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps October 2016 Sketch of the month.  Striped and polkadot paper from The Paper Studio, wine paper by TbLSimplyDigital at Etsy, and purple cs from my stash.  The sentiment is one of four that comes with the image, Fiskars scalloped border punch, and the grapes I cut out circles on my Cameo, colored them with copics then cut out a couple stems from kraft paper.  I cased Doni and  Jo for inspiration...which neither let me down (thanks girls)!
