YouTube Holiday Swap Cards using TGF

Good morning Crafty Peeps,

I've been waiting and waiting to be able to show off these cards. I joined a swap with Nurse Larelle from YouTube. There were two groups of 5 so I finished off 4 cards and sent to her. Of course I didn't make a fifth one for myself. LOL I just watched her video and I'm a little bummed because she didn't show my cards. The post office tracking shows she received them in her mailbox on December 8th. I hoped hoped and hoped that she prerecorded the video or that she just forgot to video my cards. LOL But we have been keeping in touch and for some reason the post office has been keeping the package hostage??? Weird!!! Dude! Dudette! My eyes started twitching for real. LOL Well that's probably from my lack of sleep and no help with these colds I've been getting this year seriously. Okay here are two my cards I was in such a rush to send them off that I didn't take a picture of the Blue one nor the Green one and the card boxes I made for them.

This is the very first order I made from Jamie's 'Not 2 Shabby Shop'
Here is the link to her shop https://www.zibbet.com/not2shabbyshop
and the name of the rubber stamp I used is Holiday Anya 4

I colored her with Copic markers

The dies are from http://shop.my-creative-time.com/Dies_c30.htm

The snowflake die behind the glittery one is from 

http://thegreetingfarm.com/shop/dies.html

The paper is all from Recollections.

The bling is from Recollections.

The stick pins I created myself and its the first time I made stick pins.

The small Poinsettias I cut those with my Cricut

The big poinsettia I bought a white "flower bush" from Michaels

and I just died them with my Copic refills. 

The sentiment is from another TGF stamp set that I also bough from Jamie

it's called Dollie with Gifts.  

I will come back and add a YouTube video that I made a while back.

Thank you for stopping by.

TTPH DT: Warm Hugs

Hello Everyone!

Today it's the 64th Challenge over at Through The Purple Haze Challenge Blog.

This week we are being sponsored by Aurora Wings and I got to color We Love Snowman.
(click on the name of the digi to take you to the Etsy Store)
Thank you Mitzi for sponsoring us this week. Your images are always fun to color :)


Here is my completed card.

 I colored it with Copic markers.

I used Sakura Gelly Roll and Stickles to add glitter and sparkle 

to random areas of snow or snowflakes.

The snowflake die is from The Greeting Farm.

The circle I traced the inner part of my Spellbinders die so it 

wouldn't cover up the design of the My Creative Time wavy circle die.

The fancy label is from Spellbinders as well.

 I love those little kittens giving the snowmen warm fuzzy hugs lol!

It was fun trying to add a little fur on them. 

The small snowflakes are from a Martha Stewart punch.

I hope that you are able to play in our 64th challenge called 

Stars and Snowflakes at TTPH blog

I hope you liked my card. 

Thank you so much for visiting.

JIC DT: ZVP Glitter and Sparkle

Hi Everyone!

Welcome :) This week I worked on a card for Just Inspirational Challenges- 

The theme this week is: Glitter and Sparkle

Today I used Manga Style Little Mermaid from ZuriVicePresidentJr's Etsy Shop
(click on the links and it will take you to look around and purchase if you'd like)

I used bright colors for this image- for some reason these images
inspire me to use very bright/vivid colors.

I had been making lots of 6x6 cards but for this card and my last card I decided to
make an A2 sized cards- for easy mailing :)

 I used Copic Copic to color my mermaid. Copic Spica Atyou were used on the hair and the fins.
I used Stickles Glitter Glue on the tail
and I used Sakura Stardust Gelly Roll on the Banner and waves.

This is the Inspiration Photo from Just Inspirational Challenges. 

Thank you for stopping by.
