Handmade "Give Thanks" Thanksgiving Card

I wish everyone a very blessed and safe Thanksgving.

I made the following handmade Thanksgiving cards for the Hand to Heart Ministry in my Sunday School Class at the First Baptist Church in Conroe, Texas. 

I used the "Amity" digital stamp from Mo's Digital Pencil to make these cards. The sentiments "Give Thanks" and "Happy Thanksgiving" come with this image. I used Prismacolor Premiere colored pencils with Gamsol solvent to color the images. I enjoyed experimenting with the background shading using the colored pencils and Gamsol. The top card has a darker background, the middle card has a lighter background and the bottom card does not have any colored background. Please click on the pictures for more detailed views.

I chose three different kinds of patterned paper from my stash for the background and mounted the paper/colored image on a blank kraft card that measured 5" by 6 1/2".

I embellished the cards by tying a piece of ribbon along the sides.

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!

HOT! Handmade Greeting Card

Summer is winding down but it is still HOT in Texas. I have decided to keep cool by staying indoors and making some handmade cards.

I made this card for my granddaughter.
The base is a 5" by 6 1/2" blank kraft greeting card.

I chose the digital stamp Daniella from Mo's Digital Pencil to feature on this card. I printed it on kraft cardstock and colored it with Prismacolor colored pencils and Laneco gel pens.

The background is from K and Company's Que Sera Sera Designer Paper Pack. I used unbranded dies for the stitched look around the edges.

I used some Sizzix letter dies to make the matching letters for the word HOT!

Dairy Cow Spring Greeting Card

Spring is in the air! The grass is green, the flowers are blooming and the garden is planted.

This card celebrates spring with an image of a black-and-white dairy cow holding a bouquet of clover/hearts in her mouth.

I will enter this card in Mo's Challenge #262 for paper crafts.

Here are the supplies I used to make this card:

A blank kraft cardstock greeting card that measures 5" by 7".

The digital image "Moo" from Mo's Digital Pencil. I printed the image on a piece of brown kraft cardstock. I colored the cow with Prismacolor pencils and cut it out with a Spellbinders die.

I used a rub-on from my stash (Dear Lizzy + American Crafts) for the "sweet spring" sentiment.

I put a small heart brad in the lower corner. I then layered the background with pink, white and kraft cardstock. I finished the card with a piece of pink/white baker's twine.

Things With Wings Handmade Card Challenge

I got out my colored pencils and colored this cute little fairy for Mo's "Things With Wings - Challenge #234" this week.

I used a Mo's digital image from the
3 Baby Fairies set. I printed the image on kraft cardstock and colored it with Prismacolor pencils. I highlighted the wings with silver Stickles glitter glue. I then cut and embossed it with a Spellbinders die.

The background paper is from a Ki Vintage Charm Paper Pad (Walmart).

I embellished the card with a pre-made vintage tag (Hobby Lobby Valentine Clearance), a piece of  feathery fiber and a sentiment from Splash of Color (Hobby Lobby).

I See Spots Greeting Card

Today I made a handmade greeting card for Mo's Challenge #130 - I See Spots w/Mo image. The card must have some round shapes or dots on it. I found some background paper with blue/brown dots. I also used an image with a round chocolate chip cookie on it.

This is how I made the card;
(1.) I started with a pre-made kraft card that measures 4" by 5 1/2".
(2.) I chose "Baby Boy/Stripe" patterned paper from Heidi Grace Designs (Fiskars) for the background.
(3.) I used the digital stamp "Bronte and Louis" from Mo's Digital Pencil Shop. I printed the image on kraft cardstock and used a Nestabilities die to cut it out. I colored the image with Prismacolor pencils. I highlighted the image with a black gel pen and a white gel pen. I used the white gel pen to make some faux stitches around the edge of the image.
(4.) I embellished the card with a "Smile" chipboard sticker and two punched paper flowers.

This is the second week that I have used a non-traditional hair color. This week I made the hair black with blue highlights. What do you think?
