"Just about the coolest thing I've ever done"


In the spirit of trying new things, I decided to branch out as far as I could and tackle a very LARGE 3D project. After I was all done all I could say about it was "This is just about the coolest thing I've ever done." It took me about 8 hours to complete the whole project, and then about 3 hours to decorate. New Composition-7 - Copy
I got the diecut template from SVG Cuts.  I cut it out with my Cricut Explore. It is actually supposed to be a haunted mansion, but I'm not much into Halloween so I decided to make it a Christmas House. I think I am going to make a whole Christmas village eventually. New Composition-6New Composition-4New Composition-5
Since I am a stamper at heart, I couldn't just decorate with die cuts, I had to put a stamp on it somewhere. I used Tiddly Inks "Winter Wryn and Extra Snowman"  on the front of the house. I also added snow to all the roof edges. I couldn't find a template that I liked so the snow is hand cut and of course, glittered.
All in all, I still say that this just about the coolest thing I've ever done and am looking forward to doing it again soon!
Thanks for reading!

Sasayaki Glitter Christmas Shaker Card

Hi Friends! Today I am sharing a card using an image I had the privilege of coloring for the Sasayaki Glitter Digital Stamps Nov. 1st New Release.  I couldn't wait to color this image us as I had inspiration for what kind of card I would make before I had even printed the image to color. I love those AH HA moments.
This was my second attempt at a shaker card. I am still trying to get the technique down without getting sequins and glitter stuck on the foam that raises the shaker layers. But, I thought this turned out really well for a second attempt. Here is a close up of my colored image. I colored the image with my Prismacolors using the pencils themselves as the blending agent on Canson Mi Teintes white paper. The Merry Christmas Sentiment came from a friend of mine from a Kit and Clowder Facebook Card Swap. Let me Tell you, I am so thankful for Alyce and Kit and Clowder. I look forward to all the coloring classes and group support you get from being apart of her group!

Julia Spiri Scalloped Circle Easel Card

Hi All! Today I am sharing a project I made using this "Mask Girl" stamp from Julia Spiri's Digital Stamp Shop. I used to not be into the color purple, but over the last few years, it has really grown on me, and I thought purple would be just fantastic on this image. 
I colored this girl with my Spectrum Noir alcohol pens then I accented it with stickles glitter.  The card base is from another project I'm working on and will hopefully share with you all in the near future.  The lace and ribbons and green stick-on gems are all random finds from our local Walmart. and I accented with some Mulberry roses from Hobby Lobby as well as a couple handmade roses from your's truely.  Here's a little closer shot of the card and image.
I am entering my image in the following challenges: Julia Spiri Challenge Blog #25 Anything Goes with a Twist of Tic Tac Toe Addicted to Stamps Challenge Blog #134 Lots of Layers + a Stamp Crafting when we can #130 - No Square Cards

Sasayaki Glitter Scalloped Circle Easel Card

Hi All!
Today I am sharing a card that I created using this Super Cute image I got to color up for the Sasayaki Glitter Digital Stamps October 15th Release. This image is called Halloween Pups and you can purchase your own copy here. I love this image because it has more of an Autumn Tone than Halloween so you can use it for ALL your Autumn Themed Cards and Gifts, not to mention it is ADORABLE!


I used a template that I created in Illustrator as an SVG file for the card. This template has made it SUPER easy to cut out all my elements making my card making time way faster than normal. Keep your eyes peeled for more about that on a later post! I also created the sentiment myself in Illustrator. I am getting to the point where I like designing in illustrator almost as much as I like coloring and card making!
Here is a close up of the inside of my card. I accented the card with some harvest shaped buttons and some of my handmade cream colored roses. 
I am entering this card in the followin…
