Showered In Blessings...

As you can see I love colouring up Tiddly Ink images! They are so adorable...I just can't resist them! Here is my latest...

 

I decided to set her behind a framed, see through window, (cut from plastic packaging), and add some falling leaves to make a "Shaker Card". Lots of die cuts including the butterflies,flowers, frame and sentiment matting. A bit of green ribbon and lace as well. Though it doesn't show up real well there is glitter on both the butterflies and flowers. Several pearls, {flower centers}, edge doodling and a computer generated sentiment finish this card up.

Until next time,

hugs,

Nancy

Baked with Love

Good Monday morning to you. Hope you had a great weekend! We had a little family get together to celebrate my husband's and his dad's birthdays! Lots of fun! I also got my Christmas tree down and put away...now the house looks so dull and empty! I also got to have a bit of crafting time and made up this card...

Yep!, another cute Tiddly Inks image! Like the previous ones I have had her coloured up for a bit just sitting on my desk waiting to be made into a project. I used MME papers and added these cute button embellishments, tied with a twine bow. Lots of faux stitching, {I think it's becoming a "trade mark" for me! lol}.

Thanks for stopping by. Wishing a blessed day.

hugs,

Nancy

***Another Tiddly Ink's Image...

Hope your weekend is off to a good start. I am looking forward to a good one! Actually every weekend, when I don't have to work is a good one, lol!

Today I have card featuring another one of those cute Tiddly Ink images that I have had coloured up for some time. I think these images are simply adorable! I love just colouring them!

I used Copics again and this time I used blue and green papers by Authentique. Here it is...

As you can see I used the Martha Stewart snowflake punch again, but this time I added some flourishes made from a die by Sweet Cuts. { I won several of these dies in a card competition and absolutely love them. They are the perfect size for card making and cut wonderfully in my Big Shot}.

Again I added lots of glitter, faux snow, stitching and doodling. No sentiment yet as I am not sure if I will be using this as a "Birthday" or "Thinking of You" card. 

Well, that's it for now.

Blessings and hugs,

Nancy

*** An Valentine's Day Easel Card

Every time I make an easel card I think, why don't I make these more often - I simply love them! It's not like they are hard; a bit more paper and a little more time consuming but the end result is so worth it!

Anyway, I have had this cute Tiddly Ink image coloured up for a while now but hadn't gotten around to making her into a card. Since I had coloured her in pink I decided to make her into a Valentine;s Day card using these pretty MME papers i had. The single snowflake was made using a Martha Stewart punch. The snowflake border was made from a Tim Holtz's die. Lots of glitter and a bit of faux snow on this card. I added a trim of pink rick rack, a couple of tiny metal hearts, buttons tied with pink twine, (snowflake centers), and faux stitching/doodling. I simply typed up the sentiment using a fun font on my computer.

Here are a few close up pictures:

A Quiet Birthday...

Well, last Friday was my husband's birthday and I have to say it was very quiet. With all the snow we had he spend his day shoveling at school or resting in between. I wasn't feeling all that great either so we decided to postpone the celebrating to a later date. But, I did manage to get his card finished on time and here it is. The papers are by MME "cosy collection". The rubber stamp is one I have had for ages. After stamping, I cut it out with a Spellbinder's die. A simple button tied with twine and some faux stitching helped to bring it all together.

(We were able to celebrate Sunday afternoon; with lunch and chocolate cheesecake with our family, so he didn't have to wait too long!)

Thanks for stopping by.

Birthday Wishes with a Ppinky Doll image

Well here is my first card for 2015 and for sure it had to be a birthday card! I never have enough of them on hand! This one features a cute Ppinky doll image that I coloured up with Distress Markers. I love these images! The papers are an assortment from MME and Authentique. Lots of faux stitching, several tiny gem stones and a rubber stamped sentiment all help to pull this card together.

I hope you are having a lovely day. Here in SW Ontario we are under an extreme cold warning and expecting a winter storm later this evening. Sounds pretty promising for a "Snow Day" off of school for tomorrow and this little janitor would really enjoy that! lol

Until next time,

hugs,

Nancy

My first post for 2015!

Had to wait until after the holidays to share with you the Christmas gift I made for  my eldest daughter... a fun collage of her family using all Mo Manning digital images! This was so much fun to do even though it was a bit of a challenge to get the merging technique down. I used a free program called Paint.Net to do the merging. The images are coloured with Copic Markers. My daughter and her husband just finished putting up a "pallet wall" in their family room. I figured they would be putting this picture in that room so I decided to make a frame for the picture using the wood from an old pallet as well.

I am really pleased with how this turned out and will definitely be trying a project like this in the future.

Thanks for stopping by.

hugs,

Nancy
