Sprinkle the Dust

For this delicate card created in spritz-bleached distress ink on 140# watercolor paper.  I used the Dandelion Stem, and Posing and River Faeries dies all by Poppystamps. Fairies are cut from silver fine glitter paper and the dandelion stem from shiny white photo paper, embedded in the background. As always the glimmer and glittery delicacy of this card does not show in a photograph.  Glitter I used was fine glitter "sugar cube" by Martha Stewart. The sentiment reads "Wave the wand and sprinkle the dust.  Make a Wish, in Fairies we trust!  

More Halloween Fun

Pumpkin graphics are by Make it Crafty colored in Prismacolor Pencils

Happy Halloween sentiment is from Celebration Simply Sayings a stamp by Lawn Fawn black embossed

Background is from a Panos FX action called "Spooky"

All elements of this card front were created in Photoshop with the Spooky Action set by Panos 

Acetate gift box card

 I had a lot of fun figuring out how to do this after I saw someone's technique video online a couple of weeks ago!   This card is made with some background paper I created in Photoshop, some black embossed and watercolor inked leaves (Ksaleidacolor Autumn Leaves) from Gina K Stitched Leaves Mini kit.  The 2"square acetate box is from SU filled with any color raffia or shredded paper, or lined with designer paper.  The Bow was created with 123 bowmaker punch board by We R Memory Keepers,  and is easily removable as it sits on the double base of this top fold card.  The sentiment is from the same Stitched Leaves Mini kit and die and is triple layered for dimension.

Thinking of you Get Well Card for my friend Barbara

The brown cardstock is embossed with a Darice autumn leaves folder,  the borders are copper stickers around the artpiece and the orange mat.  She is colored in prismacolor pencils and I am pretty sure she is a Sherrie Baldy graphic, but I can't find the original now to see how I labeled it before I printed it for this card.

The inside sentiment reads:  "I wanted to write something cheery and fun on this "Get Well Soon Card" for you.  But theere's nothing cheery or fun about shoulders getting replaced.  So here's all our support!  We're hoping you heal quickly and that the road to recovery is short and sweet (or long and cruisy, if you prefer)".

Shimmery Goodness--Halloween Style

This 5x7 card on black cardstock is the "Witchcraft (and cat) die #662368 cut from black and mounted on light gray cardstock. The stencils are  SU "Pattern Party" bricks and MFT 6x6 Mixables "Mini Cloud Edges"   This time I used a dauber for a very thin application of TCW Shimmery Goodness for the background stenciling.  

 Detail of the Shimmery  Goodness stenciling shows in the angled shot below

Poinsettia Sprite_Aurora Wings

The adorable Poinsettia Sprite is the centerpiece of this top fold card.  She is colored in Prismacolor Pencils, and finished with  Wink of Stella and some gold and bright blue stickles and Nuvo clear drops  The Sentiment is from Just  Rite Stamps collection Elegant Christmas Swirls (AG02052)   The idea is "partial die cut" for the top of the card, but it is hand cut-not die cut  only because I had not positioned the image correctly when I printed it (so the image didn't end up stamped on the top fold of the card to be cut away.  Papers are SU real red and whisper white.

Post It projects

This is "round one" of several projects I will be making for sale at the Sun  City Craft Fair in November. These are created with Hero Arts Layering Owl Die, with Botanical Blooms (SU) Cotage  Cutz Owls on a Branch. and others.  The little pens are Bazic Keychain ballpoint pens.  Tip.  Get Post its at Costco.  The ones from Amazon are nice, but half as thick, so they need to be doubled up for this particular project. (All are genuine Post Its)  There is a friendship saying stamped on the first sheet of each project.  "Friendship is not a big thing, it's a million little things"  Some have embossed fronts, and silhouettes (the elephant) as the artpiece topper and some have holographic ek success owl stickers.  

Happy Halloween

Tim Holtz amazing Witchcraft (and cat) die (662386)are the focus of this Hallowee'n card.  The mat is created by brushing distress ink on the deep embossing of the   Sizzix Textured Impressions Prism  Geometrics 3D Embossing Folder (661951)  Paper colors are SU Cajun Craze and black.  Little Ghost stickers are from Pop-ups-etc (starform stiickers) and the Happy Halloween sentiment is from Teeny  Tiny Wishes by SU.  There's a tiny bit of black Wink of Stella on the hat and broom.

Warm Winter Wishes

I created this card for our dear friends who are moving to Pennsylvania soon.  We will miss our wonderful weekly lunches, and the wonderful times, and the sad ones too,  we've shared.  Friendship isn't a big thing--it's a Million Little Things--part of the inside sentiment for the card with a Miran's drawing of Warm Winter Wishes.  She is done in Prismacolor pencils and finished with a snowflake border brushed with Nuvo Glimmer paste.  Wink of Stella, snow glitter, 3d Crystal glaze, and other accents are on the card.  She is mounted on SU gray and soft green paper.

Good Luck and Love, 

Donny and Sylvia!
