Swiss Pixies Nora

Hello everyone!! I know it's been awhile since I have updated my blog but I have had some medical issues going on and haven't really had the time or energy to craft so I apologize!! So..here I am today with a card I made using C.C. Designs Swiss Pixies Nora. I stamped her onto Copic Quality 110 pd Card Stock and colored her in with my Copic Markers. I then cut her out using the Spellbinders Circles and Scalloped Circles Dies. The papers I used for this card came from Bo Bunny's Powder Mountain 6x6 Paper Pad. The sentiment on the front of the card is from AmyR's Handy Christmas Greetings. I die-cut the snowflakes at the bottom of the card using My Favorite Things Let It Snowflake Die and adhered them using some brads from my stash. The ribbon I used on the card was also from my stash. To finish off the front of the card I added some Stickles to her wings and the snowflakes.

For the inside of the card I used some of the same papers that I used on the front. I also die-cut two more of the Spellbinders Circles and Scalloped Circles Dies. The sentiment I used is from AmyR's Holiday Greetings Stamp Set. To finish off the inside of the card I added two more of the snowflakes left over from the front of the card. And that was it!! Thanks for stopping by and I hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving!!!

Halloween Birgitta

Hello again and Happy Halloween!! It's hard to believe that it is almost November!! This month has really flown by!! I decided to make one more Halloween card as I'm just not ready to put away my Halloween supplies just yet!! Lol. Anyways....on to the card....

I started off by stamping this C.C. Designs Swiss Pixies Halloween Scene onto Copic Quality 110lb. cardstock and then colored it in with my Copic Markers. I then stamped the Swiss Pixies Halloween Birgitta onto the same card stock and also colored her in with my Copic Markers. I adhered her to the card using Stampin Up Dimensionals and added Orange Peel Stickles to her and the pumpkins. I used one of my Spellbinders Oval Dies to cut out the sentiment which is from AmyR's Ghostly Greetings Stamp Set and inked around the edges with Tim Holtz Black Soot Distress Ink. The two pumpkins on each side are from a stamp set by Recollections. The bat is from Paper Smooches Halloweenies stamp set. I used a few Copic Markers to make the grass at the bottom.

For the inside of the card I started off with a piece of black card stock and used the Martha Stewart Spiderweb Punch Around The Page and adhered it to the bottom of the white card stock. I then stamped the sentiment from AmyR's Ghostly Greetings stamp set, trimmed it down, and adhered it to my card. The two bats are the same ones that I used on the front of the card. I adhered that onto a piece of orange card stock and that was it for the card.

Welcome to my little blog.

Hello everyone! I would like to welcome you all to my little Blog. I am new to all of this so bear with me please. Lol. I created this blog to share some of my projects with others and to challenge myself to try some new techniques and to hopefully improve some of my skills. I am inspired by so many of you and I hope to maybe inspire some of you or at least give you some ideas. Right now, I just plan on posting pictures of some of my projects and creations but hopefully as time goes on I can get some videos and tutorials on here (if i can ever figure it out). I'm not sure how often I will post either. Right now I have to get the hang of it and then we will just see where it goes from there. Anyways...Hope you all have a wonderful day and I will hopefully have a new post up soon!!
