Quietfire Christmas

I made this card a while back, and I finally get to share it with you.  I recently bought a Silhouette cutter, and have been having so much fun with it.  It’s an amazing machine and you can make your own design files out of vector images, or any .jpg images as well.  I can’t take the credit for this cutting file though, my friend Val’s husband made this cutting file for us.  The Poinsettia is cut on the Silhouette.

 

The beautiful sentiment is from Quietfire Design.  Suzanne has the most gorgeous calligraphy stamps. If you haven’t been to the Quietfire site yet, you really should!  I also used a small snowflake Quietfire stamp on the background, it may be hard to see in the picture though. 

For instructions and supply list, please go here.

Urgh…looking at this now, I see that the saying is a bit lopsided…too late to fix it now!  Try to not notice it, especially now that I have pointed that out to you! LOL

Christmas at Photo Memories

Hello there,

I have been so busy lately designing cards and teaching at one of the LSS.  If you are in Halifax, come join us!  There are tons of classes at Photo Memories, something for everyone.

These are the cards for the November 13th class.  All Christmas cards, tis the season! lol

This reindeer card is an easel card.  I completely forgot to take a picture of it open to show you.  I really like the simplicity of this card.  After I took the picture I did add a tiny little champagne coloured gem to his nose. 

The tree card is a recessed window card.  Very fun and really quite easy!  I love the look of the recessed window cards, just makes the card a bit more special.  I used glitter embossing powder on the tree, so it really sparkles in real life.

The penguin card is a stair step card.  I really like the nice bright colours on this card, makes me feel cheery!  The snowflakes are covered with Sookwang Tape, then run thru the cuttlebug with the nesties, and then glittered with Glitter Ritz.  Fun fun!

Lastly, we will be making a card using acetate as our base.  I had such a hard time taking a photo of this card…urgh!  And I tried to clean the acetate when I got home, there was dust and fingerprints on it, and I think I only made it worse!  I will make sure we start out with nice clean acetate for sure!  The snowflakes are stamped with White Stazon ink.

Created Byhand Challenge – Halloween

This week it is my turn to do the challenge card over at the Created Byhand Challenge blog.  The theme is Halloween.  I used some of the Quietfire Design wings as bats, cut out some crows, and used the word tapping from the crow plate.  I tried to get it too look creepy with adding the haunted looking house and graveyard border.  If you have a chance, stop by the Created Byhand blog and try your hand at this weeks challenge!

Here is my card:

Card Swap – 5 layers or more

We had our monthly stamping night last week, and our swap cards for this month were to be 5 layers or more.  I like this swap as I love to layer! lol 

All stamps used are from Impression Obsession.  I just love their girly stamps! 

 

I know it seems like I haven’t been doing any stamping lately, but I have been!  Some things I just can’t show you yet, and I have been getting ready for many classes.  It’s been a bit crazy actually!  Hopefully I will be able to post more on my blog soon! 

Thank you so much for stopping by,

Sorry, nothing new but a video that I just saw

I don’t know about you, but when Adam Lambert was voted off American Idol, I was so disappointed.  I was surfing tonight and found his first single on video, and I just love this song.  What a voice this young man has…anyway, here it is the link if you would like to hear the new song!

Are you a good witch? Embellish-it Online

 

I had so much fun making todays card!  I just let my imagination take me wherever it wanted, and this is where I landed! lol

The witch stamp is from Third Coast Rubber Stamps, and the sentiment is from Inky Antics.  I coloured the witch in with Copic Markers, which are available at Embellish-it Online .

I used the new Basic Grey Eerie line for this card.  It can also be found at Embellish-it Online.   I cut out the tree, spider web, and spider with my Silhouette, then used a Martha Stewart punch for the tombstones and border.  I held myself back and the only bling on this card is the owls eyes!

I really enjoy making Halloween cards, although I am not sure why?  I think it’s fun to just run with something and not have any rules…lol  Not that there ever are rules when it comes to card making, I guess I just feel a bit more free when creating something like this.

I also wanted to wish all my fellow Canadians a Happy Thanksgiving!  I hope you are all surrounded with family and friends, celebrating everything we are thankful for!

Silent Night

 

I had coloured up this image a while back, but hadn’t put a card together with it.  I coloured it with Copic Markers, then added Flower Soft.  Can I just say how much I love that stuff??  Flower Soft is amazing!  I even added some microfine clear glitter over top and it sparkles so nicely in real life.  The sentiment is a new Christmas stamp from Quietfire Design.  Isn’t it beautiful?  I then added Glossy Accents on top of all the lights and bow, and added a line of crystals on the side.  I certainly had fun putting this card together!

 Thank you so much for stopping by today!

C’est la vie

This card was done using all Quietfire Design stamps.  If you haven’t seen Suzanne’s beautiful calligraphy stamps, go have a look, you are in for a treat!  You can find instructions here, as well as links to all products used!

Oh, have you seen the Fleur de lis cuttlebug embossing folder yet?  That is what I used for my background, and I think it’s one of my favorites out of all of them!  Suzanne has them in stock, and if she is out already, she will be getting more right away!  As well as the Labels 4, and the Fancy tags….oh my…I love my nesties!!

Thank you for stopping by today!

Life’s Simple Pleasures – Embellish-it Online

Sometimes life starts going by so fast that we forget to really enjoy some of life’s simple pleasures.  So I decided to take my time with this card and enjoy colouring.  I find it so relaxing.  The main image is from Stampavie, and the patterned paper is from Basic Grey.  Both of these can be bought at the Embellish-it Online store!  Barb’s selection of goodies is fantastic, drop by if you can!  You won’t be disappointed.  

I decided to colour the Stampavie image with Copic Markers.  They have been sadly neglected lately.  Barb also carries these in her store.  Ahhh…a little retail therapy! lol

Thank you for stopping by today!
