I meant to behave, - Cardz 4 Guyz #310

Tuesday November 29, 2022

Hello

It's time for a new challenge over at 

I am the host so got to chose the theme..
BIRDS


I just couldn't resist.. I know it's close to Christmas and probably could of gone that route.. But I was also thinking of the snarky sentiments from Tim Holtz too.. So I just went with it. I have other Christmas cards to post .. I stamped and used copics. I die cut out and went for a few scraps and created the background. I then added the birds and sentiment. I finished with a few left over diamond painting drills.. I just love those cute faces and thought the sentiment fit the look.

Make My Monday #188

I am the host this challenge so I chose
WINGS.. Thinks with wings 





I really wasn't sure what I wanted to do for WING'S theme.. it's that crazy time of the year that is more Thanksgiving and Christmas but I really didn't want to use those kind of winged animals and I don't like this dark cold weather. So I thought ok butterfly.. they make me happy and feel like spring.. So chose the butterfly but fallish type colors and such. I used a stencil and Ranger ink to create the background. I then die cut out of scraps some Stampin up foilage and die cut the My favorite things heavy vellum from SU and added it to the center. I used a scrap and SU butterfly die and added to the vellum. I topped with some left over diamond painting drills. I stamped and heat embossed the Simon says sentiment and fussy cut around it.

I took Stampin up heavey vellum and used My facorite things stitch die and cut out twice. I used Annette Walkins stamp sentiment with Stazon ink. I added to the card and took some small buttons to help hold it down.

Thursday November 17, 2022

Hello

It's time for a new challenge over at

Our theme this challenge is
STENCILS

For my card I used Newton's Nook paw stencil and Ranger inks. I made a mess at the top where it over sponged.. so I took Stampin up ink and smooshed it down on some card stock and heat embossed the Stampin up sentiment and cut to fit over the oops... I stamped the little plaid piece in the same SU ink.. I used the SU punch to cut out the dog and layered him 4 times for some sturdiness. It also punches the bow I layered it twice. I went around the edges with Ranger ink and added the funny little eye.  There is a stamp set for the dog in different poses and other fun things but decided to use the punch and scraps..

WATERCOLORING


This stamp set is from Stampin up and I borrowed it from my friend. I stamped the images and using Prima watercolors painted it and the background a light blue. I used the die to cut out the images. I stamped the sentiment and banner and cut out.  I went around the edge of the sentiment with gold embossing ink and let it dry. I used a Stampin up embossing folder and ran the card stock and using the same gold ink ran it across the high parts of the paper. I added the images on foam dots and finished with some Nuvo drop gold.

Every year a group of 12 of us each get a month and we make 12 pages, usually the same for that month. I got November. So I made 12 of these pages. My dear friend comes over after she's collected the other months and she uses my Binding machine from Taylored Expressions and  put them all together..
We get an awesome year of crafty happiness every month.  
I used Stampin up gray card stock, and embossing folder by Sizzix. I stamped the Stampin Up flower and colored with copics. I die cut the flowers behind with scraps. I added some twine, the sentiment is from Tech. Tues. and die cut with SU. die. I added the calendar backed with SU card stock and finished with a gem.
