Leprechaun Paddy Card for St. Patrick's Day

Tomorrow is St. Patrick's Day. This is one of the cards I made to send to my granddaughters. Please click on the picture below to enlarge it.

 This card measures 5" by 6.5". The background paper is from the Tim Holtz Wallflower scrapbook paper pad.

The digital image/sentiment is "Paddy" from Mo's Digital Pencil. I printed the image on white cardstock and colored it with Copic Sketch markers. I used a Sizzix die to cut a scalloped oval around the image. I sponged some distress ink around the edges of the oval.

I attached the sentiment to a piece of black cardstock and attached it to the top of the card.

I will enter this card in the following challenge;

"Alas! you complain that your soul is out of tune.
Then ask the Master to tune the heart-strings."
Charles Spurgeon

I made this card to encourage the recipient during difficult times. The butterfly symbolizes the hope that is always available to those who seek it.

The base for this project is a blank kraft cardstock card that measures 5" by 6.5".

The background cardstock is from the Tim Holtz Abandoned paper pad. This paper was available at Michaels during the Halloween season in 2019. 

I chose the digital stamp "Woe is Fay" from Mo's Digital Pencil. I printed the image on white cardstock and colored the image with Copic Sketch markers. I die cut the image with a "Dotted Squares" die from Sizzix. I used a butterfly die from the "Floral Banner" set from Sizzix.

I assembled the card with double-sided tape. I used Artist-tac permanent dry adhesive to attach the butterfly.

Khloe's Handmade Birthday Card

Click on image to enlarge.

My granddaughter Khloe celebrated her 4th birthday this week. I made this card for her. 

This is how I made the card;

I started with a blank kraft card that measures 5" by 6.5".

The pink background paper is from a Martha Stewart "Watercolor Sheets" Paper Pad. 

I die cut some stars (Sizzix star die 38-0154) from a blue sheet in the Martha Steward paper pad. I added some shimmer to the stars with a Spectrum Noir Sparkle (Crystal Clear) glitter pen.

I chose the digital stamp "Caitlin" from Mo's Digital Pencil.  I colored the image with Copic sketch markers. I lightly sponged around the edges with Vintage Photo Distress Oxide Ink. I mounted the image on a piece of kraft cardstock. 

I used the "Happy Birthday ER1007" rubber stamp from Stampabilities for the sentiment.

The gift tag on the bag was blank, so I printed "Khloe" on the tag.

I found a number "4" sticker in my stash and stuck it on the star in the lower right corner. I embellished the card with pink/white baker's twine.

Handmade Anniversary Card with Tim Holtz Paper Dolls

I made this handmade anniversary card featuring Tim Holtz Paper Dolls.

The base is a blank kraft card that measures 5" by 6 1/2". 

I used double-sided patterned paper from the Tim Holtz Wallflower paper pad.

I die-cut the word "Love" and the curvy base for the paper dolls from the reverse side of the floral patterned paper.

I chose a vintage bride and groom from the Idea-ology 107 piece Tim Holtz Paper Dolls pack. 

I used the sentiment "Happy Together" from the Tim Holtz Idea-ology Quotations Metallic Stickers pack. I placed the sticker on top of the "Love" die-cut for some added dimension.

I finished the card with a piece of aqua linen yarn.

Little Witches Halloween Cards

Maurie Manning released two little witch digital stamps for the 2017 Halloween season.

The image on the left is "Little Witch Henrietta."  This digi set came with two sentiments; "Boo" and "Witching you a happy Halloween." 

The base for this project is a blank 4.25" by 5.5" kraft card. (A2)

I printed the digital image and sentiment on white cardstsock and colored the image with Prismacolor Premier colored pencils and Gamsol.

I used some orange and aqua patterned paper from the Que Sera Sera paper pad from K and Company. I embellished the card with a piece of lavender curling ribbon.

The second little witch digital stamp is "Little Witch Wendolyn." This digi set came with three sentiments; "Bewitching!", "You're Invited!" and "Bring Your Own Broom." 

I used a blank A2 size kraft card as the base for this project.

I printed the digital stamp and sentiment on a piece of white cardstock that was die-cut with a stitched rectangle die. I colored the image with Prismacolor Premier colored pencils and Gamsol. I highlighted the hair, flowers and patches with bright-colored gel pens. I embellished the card with a floral die cut. 

The background paper is from the Que Sera Sera paper pack by K and Company. 

I enjoyed making these cards and I think they turned out super cute. I wish you a happy and safe Halloween!
