One More Easter

Happy Wednesday! :)  We are halfway through the week! It never seems to go fast enough!! The week drags on and the weekend just flies by! Took Michael to the doctor this morning, took the bike to be dropped off for a recall then it was work work work. Now I'm tired! LOL  Happy day/evening everyone!

Today I'm sharing my third Easter Card with you. Now I have to get busy on some cute Easter Bunny type cards:








For this card I used another cross image that I have no idea who it belongs to. I should have saved a folder with the ones I was using. Although, I think I have them listed at work. I'll have to look. This is another card that I was able to use all scraps. I dug out all of the purple along with my whites and was able to complete this will my scraps! I've distressed the edges of paper, I've inked. The image is colored with my Copic Markers and the dogwood blooms are popped a level. I used an embossing folder on the dark purple paper. A Sentimental Susan image was used for the sentiment. I've used some small dew drops. The flowers at the bottom are all distressed and I've added some purple Stickles. I also used a purple gem for the center.

COPIC MARKERS USED:
  • Flowers: RV32, RV11, RV34
  • Wood: E30, E34, E44, E47
  • Leaves: YG11, YG13, YG17

Easter Card Too

Happy Tuesday everyone! It has been a busy, long week at work and it is only Tuesday!! I have a lot to do and I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed.  But.. It will all work out. I'll get caught up. Tomorrow I am taking Michael to get his toe taken care of and working. I've been in bed early and haven't had a lot of Etsy time the last couple of days. I hope you all are having a great week!

And today I'm going to share another Easter card. This one I did in blue:








This is my Easter Card using Roses Cross from Delicious Doodles. I have used my Copic Markers to color the image. I've added a bit of clear Wink Of Stella and I've popped the roses and leaves. That is a bit of fussy cutting :)  For this card I went back into the scraps box and pulled out all the scraps of blue. I love being able to use scraps up! I've used some flowers and dew drops. I've also used some die cuts, embossing powder, embossing folder. I've done a small bit of stitching. The Happy Easter is stamped. I've inked a bit of paper with black and some with blue. I also used some vines that I cut a piece off of. The inside has a printed quote and I also added some dew drops to it as well.

COPIC MARKERS USED:
  • Wood: E30, E24, E44, E47
  • Cross Edge: Y00, Y11, Y15, YR23, YR24

Thinking of Easter

With thoughts of my Etsy Shop and trying to build it up, I had the idea that I needed to get busy on some Easter cards. I'm trying to think ahead. I need St. Patty's Day and I need Easter. And if I'm going to put this work into the shop, I better get the correct items in there, right? So, that is what I have started working on. I've made a few Easter cards. I started out with some Religious Easter cards; the true reason for the season. I'm also going to do some cute bunny cards as well. So, I thought I would share my first Easter creation with all of you today:








For my first card I went with this beautiful cross. I have no idea who's it is. I have to go through my images to figure it out. It is a pretty simple cross and I used my Copic Markers to color in the leaves and flowers on the cross. I fussy cut the cross of course and popped it up one level. I dug out all my scraps and this card is all scraps! I went with purple, black and white. The bottoms were all cut with an edge punch. The black paper behind was embossed with an embossing folder. I added some stitching and some ribbon. The Psalm 97:1 was designed and printed and then I added some small dew drops onto them. I also printed the Happy Easter on the inside and added some dew drops there as well as some of the ribbon.

Happy Valentine's Day!

Hi Everyone! And I hope you all have had a very Happy Valentine's Day!! I have spent the day with my wonderful husband. I got him a new Kindle, because he needed one! :)  And we went out and had lunch. Other than that we have just hung out at home together. And for us .. that is perfection!

What else has we been up to? The kids are out of school next week. Michael has been working. He also has another ingrown toenail. I have a feeling we will end up at the doctor again for that. He was soaking it this morning, but he couldn't get it cut. He is wanting to wait it out, because he knows it will hurt when they cut it. Bailey helped Kevin and I shovel some crush and run yesterday. We put that in the bike port and the walkway to the house. We also filled up the spots in the driveway that are broken. I think it will take some time to settle and dry out, but I think it will be well worth it. It is much better than the mud that we had. Today, she has gone to spend a couple of days with a friend.

Tomorrow it is back to work and Kevin has an Ultrasound. The weekend has just flown by so quickly! Now, I wanted to share a card with you. This was my first custom order on Etsy. I had someone purchase a card and then ask if I would make her daughter a custom card for her boyfriend for Valentine's Day. She calls him Peach Butt and wanted it to say Happy Valentine's Day Peach Butt. So, with that in mind, this is what I came up with:







For this custom card I created a Peach shape to cut with the Silhouette Cameo. I was able to use scraps for this card! I'm really digging into them. I inked it all up with my Distress Inks to give it that peach flavor :)  I cute the leaves with some die cuts on some embossed paper, stamped the Happy Valentine's Day. Peach Butt was cut with one of my Sizzlit letters and the hearts are a Memory Box die. The little peach is an emoticon that she wanted me to use. The red glitter circles are stickers. And that is it! I had a lot of fun making this unique card! I hope I can have some custom orders again :)

It's All About Love At Open-Minded Crafting Fun

Good morning everyone!! I hope you all had a great weekend!! My daughter had her second eye surgery yesterday. It is a laser surgery, so it is a really quick surgery.

Today is the 10th, which means it is time for the next challenge at Open-Minded Crafting Fun. And that is what my post is all about today. All About Love doesn't have to be Valentine's, it can be anything about love. How about a wedding card or an anniversary? I know I never seem to hang on to Anniversary cards. Our sponsors for our February Challenge - All About Love are:



And now for my card:







For this card I have used Cupido from Zuri Artsy Craftsy. I've colored this cute little Cupid with my Copic Markers and I've made this box card, which was cut with the Silhouette Cameo. All of the papers are scraps. I've used some negative heart cuts from another die edge that I cut for a different card. I've added some dew drop and gems to the box as well. The XO is covered in gold glitter. The wings of Cupid are covered in clear Wink of Stella. The hearts, lips and mustache are all inked with distress ink; as is the red card stock of the card base. This is my 2nd card box. This one came a bit easier than the first I think. I will definitely try a couple more of these. I think they are really fun!

Copic Markers Used:
  • Skin: E000, E00, E01, E21, E11, E04, R20
  • Wing: Y00, Y11, Y15, YR23
  • Arrowhead and Pants: R43, R46, R56
  • Eyes: B00, B04, B06
  • Bow: E30, E33, E35, E37
  • Hair: YR20, YR24, E35, E37

Chinese New Year Child's Card

Good morning everyone! It is Sunday... I can't believe how quickly the weekend goes by! It is here and then it is gone! And tomorrow it is back to work already. I don't even feel like I got a break! Tonight, Bailey comes home from camp and I'm pretty sure Michael works this afternoon, but I'm not sure what time. I received my first request on Etsy for a Valentine's card this morning. So, today I will be working hard to get that finished. I'll make that one and ship it out with the other one she bought. So excited! All the work I'm putting into Etsy is definitely paying off :)  Yay!

Here is my 2nd custom ordered Chinese New Year Card. This one is for the baby daughter :)








I used all scrap paper. I cut the black wth the Silhouette Cameo. I added some twine and some dew drops. The little monkey was a free coloring image found online that I printed and colored with Copic Markers. I did pop his little head up and put it on a wobble. I thought... what is better for a small child than a wobble! :D  I stamped the Happy New Year and attached it with a black brad. And that is it! I was able to use all scraps for both of the cards for her which is a real bonus! I love being able to use my scraps up and I'm trying really hard to do that!

Copic Markers Used:
  • Cheeks: R20, R22
  • Vines: YG11, YG13, YG17
  • Mouth: R56, R59
  • Dark Brown: E23, E25, E27, E29
  • Light Brown: E51, E53, E55
  • Brown Eyes: E35, E37, E39
  • Nose: C3, C5, C7, C9
